The reason why investors often lose money

[Rakeshten]

Traders may lose money for many reasons, the most common is that they have lack experience and they entered the trade late in FOMO, which is not advised for newbies. If you are a beginner, learn about crypto before doing your own trades.

The most common reason is a lack of experience. It depends on the investors themselves, because they often simply overestimate their abilities.

Yes, lack of experience and yet, it seems they know the market well but still end up losing. I guess we all started as newbies and as being new in the market, we should exert more effort by doing consistent researches before applying them because it is the only way where we can gain experiences that will definitely be our best teacher and motivator. Another thing that keep us from losing is the greed that tends to manipulate everyone. If we fall for greed, we will never improve our investing and trading strategies as we will be in controlled by our emotions and that will be a big hindrance from getting big profits at the end of the day.

Investors lose money because they enters and exit the market at wrong time, poor financial management and also lack of proper knowledge related to assets they are all investing.

True. Entry and Exit at right time is very important for success of any trade otherwise you will continue losing in trading, you nmight win in one or two trades but that happens by chance or by luck. As a matter of fact Trading is ba wonderful Profession and it requires good knowledge of market Fundamentals, skills to read and understand Technical Indicators to make entry and exit at right time as well as awareness Money and Risk management.

Investors often lose money because they don't set up a plan before they enter the market. I think in every step we make in crypto market, there should be a plan so we can be more guided and focused to achieve our main goal. Although we can say that we entered in a bearish season and start accumulating coins, but the fact that we are taken for granted when will be the best time to exit, then it will still create losses in the end. So if you want to be successful either from investing or trading crypto, at least you should have a concrete plan and if the market suddenly turn sideways, you should have prepared another back up too.

Timing in short but this is actually the hardest thing to be done because no one could able to point out on which is the bottom and which is on the peak
and thats why we do make out decisions mixed up with our guts and intuition which cant really be avoided on some cases which we do really consider it out.Why people do lose money? Due to mistakes which had been affected by neither emotion or greed you do have inside or having lacking knowledge
and skills on overall aspect.This is why you do really need to enchance yourself overtime.

You do not have to pick the absolute bottom and the highest peak. However, when the price is at 64k and it drops to 30k, anywhere along the line would be great place to buy, I mean it is dropping so much which means that it is getting closer to bottom, divide your money into pieces and keep buying each time it drops if you want to make sure.

After that it started to skyrocket back, you do not have to sell it at 67k if you are not going to wait that much, or maybe you would but we could still go higher, but you could still make a profit and get out at a profit as well. So all in all, timing could be a little bit of a problem but you could still profit very well when you buy at crashes and sell at bull runs.

The most common reasons lack of experience/knowledge, greedy and can't handle your emotions. Patience is always the key for investors or traders to success and gain more profit but because of your emotions it ruin your investment/trading plan. It's very important to control your emotions because you already know how much volatile the crypto market is. Also need to learn from your experience and don't be greedy to avoid too much losses.

Investing in crypto has both advantages and risks. the most common risk is loss which makes many people depressed. There are several reasons for the losses experienced by some investors and an investor should know that. it is not easy to accept failure but it can be a lesson in the future to be more careful and alert. the crypto market can go up and down at any time, don't be in a hurry to act because all of that requires careful thought.

[Bagaji]

When I got to real trading that is where I battle with  emotions and fear this is a big challenge especially for newbies following those trading rules becomes a big problem infact after a losing streaks a trader will jettisoned the trading rules and trade in a bid to recoup all the loses thus ended up with more loses I believe to ease such emotions and fears is by trading with the amount of fund you can afford to lose at least to reduce the risk involved in trading this is the area where a lot of traders or investors fails this main reasons why a lot traders fund got liquidated.

I can see from the way you sound in your submission trading generally is easy and is not for everyone just because some people who are good are money from it. The only way for you to deal with the issue of emotion while trading is to be sure of when you are to place trade if and only if you have seeing the sign for you to enter and the most of all is to reduce your lots size.

Being carried away by Fuds and FOMOS could easily be the reason why most investors lose their money. A proper mindset would be the best asset that we could have upon entering trading. Continuous learning is still needed because we couldn't be trading experts in just a blink of an eye. Also, you should do a series of research about a coin of your choice before investing, which will help you make firm decisions.

[Hobo66]

Every person is conscious that in trading  there are coins that are better for long term investment and others that are better for short term investment. People on other hand do not think and begin trading even they have no prior experience with trading but want to participate and earn money. The haste to make money can result in significant financial loss. Because everything demands tolerance and if you do not have it you would not be able to profit. They also lack money management strategies. As a result of which that loss money in this manner.

This is more prone for newbies as they have less knowledge and experience when it comes to trading so they easily go with the hype and its trend.  But as they go on with their day to day experiences in  trading, they will build more good analysis and realized that riding in any FUD or FOMO does not create positive outcome. Once you're in trading, your knowledge should never be limited and that is why continuous learning from consistent researches is definitely a must. Don't trade anyway if you are a close minded person.

Once you're in trading, your knowledge should never be limited and that is why continuous learning from consistent researches is definitely a must. Don't trade anyway if you are a close minded person.

But, unfortunately most traders are focusing only on what they need for one particular day and they never mind about getting ready for all future challenges. This way, usually most traders do stick with their old strategy and never find time to update it.

To eliminate all these types of struggles, people are simply choosing only long term holding and completely avoiding all type of trading with bitcoin. I am sure with bitcoin investment you will get very small chances to be losing as bitcoin is always appreciating in value in long run. So, for all closed mind people must choose investment option rather than struggling with trading.

This is particularly true in journeys of newbies. I've seen people that just got started in crypto trading and didn't even spend time to learn even the basic concepts of trading like candlesticks,chart patterns and indicators or how to apply them to spot market that has lower risk and move straight to trading futures and that's just bad. You can take trading as a common venture and succeed in it. Trading like every other craft, should be learnt thoroughly. No skips. Knowledge and experience is paramount here.

[nurilham]

in fact investing or trading is not an easy thing, it needs good analysis in order to determine when to sell or buy coins. Until now I am also still learning to be able to do my best by managing my crypto assets, it is not an easy thing because several times I have failed by missing a moment. Now I realize that controlling emotions in investing or trading is important so that our minds are not fooled by the ups and downs of the crypto market.

All people starts on being a newbie and these kind of mistakes are very common which is to lose money but when we do gain experience then we are slowly trying to have good grasp on the market.

When we do get that idea then we could get a good hold on this market and able to avoid and make less risky decisions since we are already full aware.Thing here is that you do
do know on what you are doing and because you are investing on then it is just normal to deal with those risk.

Sometimes not everyone is aware of this and indeed controlling emotions is also an important thing and must be considered,
to be able to succeed in investing or trading certainly requires many things,
so we have to really prepare everything if we really want to succeed

It’s always being said that when you are a trader or investor, learning should be a part of you. When it comes to the cryptocurrency market, or the world of investment in general, you should never stop learning, because every time there are new things that are coming out and if you’re not going to keep researching and learning, then you’re going to be lacking behind and you wouldn’t know the latest trends in the industry that you are into.

So for you to be successful you have to keep learning, and that should be a part of you. That is the one thing that is going to help to elevate your trading an investment skills. Talking about the rules you made about how to take profit, I would say it’s good to take profit when the market goes up but not all , you can take a little profit and the rest can stay for investment in case of the price should keep moving up.

Investors lose money due to so many reasons,some of the reasons might be known,while some might be unknown.
But as far as I know,most investors lose money due to one mistake or the other,making mistake is one of the things that makes an investor cry that he has lost money.
Other reasons are carelessness;when an investor does not properly access and make research on the project they want to invest in,it will surely cause them pain in the end.

Therefore in other not to encounter these problems,one must be able to make research,read,and never be in a haste to do anything,always know the right time to invest.

Actually, it is very natural for us to make carelessness and mistakes when investing, because everyone must experience it. The most important thing is
that we don't repeat it, we can increase our caution every time we make a decision. Then we must study every mistake we have made, so that
we know how to fix it and not repeat the mistake again. I admit that it is not easy to invest in crypto, where price movements are very volatile
and difficult to predict. It takes good research and analysis skills, in order to predict where the market will move. To truly become a successful investor,
it can't be done instantly, it takes a long process. We have to learn many things and have experience to become successful investor.

Another reason why newbies loss in trading is because of emotion which is fear of holding a coin for longtime, and not been patient they rush to make a move. Before anyone should go into trading one have to get a solid knowledge and try to get all strategies that could help in trading.
