Reasons why the 95% of future traders lose all of their money

[Hamphser]

1.   Psychological – Trading is inherently risky; futures traders should be aware that no trade has a guaranteed outcome. When you put a trade, you are correspondingly accepting the risk but that’s where the problem comes in. All of the traders are taking the risk but are they accepting that the trade has a non-guaranteed outcome? The answer is No. Consistent traders are aware that there is no sure profit or magic in trading. They embrace the risk where if they lose, it is okay for them because they know that there is no guaranteed outcome.

I know why I lost some time ago- greed that made me increase the size of my position beyond my capacity.
The thing was I understood that I wasn't supposed to over increase my size and position. I couldn't control the risk with the position size, and I did lost a huge chunk of my portfolio.

If you do make yourself in a hurry then it is really that prone to mistakes and errors which on the time that you do decide to make out some changes then you should really make sure that you are really that fully aware about the risk involved and since you've been talking about sizing up your position then you are aware that risk of losing is high.

Whether you do make use of small or high amount positions if you do find out that your small positions turns out to be that positive or profitable then its not bad to make out such changes as long you would be that sticking into your own ways and methods but of course on the time that you do make out such changes then you should really bare up with the risk involved into that because the higher chances that you would really be losing money but if things turns out to be good then profits is also better.

Well, if you act like that, then losing will always be certain. It’s very unhealthy to trade motivated with greed since that will not help you to come up with smart decisions. Instead, once you lose in your trade, your emotions will burst out too leading into a very unhealthy position that will eventually make you a loser in the end.

In my opinion if a person wants to involved in trading then he must have to clear one thing that with success you will definitely face some failure at some moments. Failure does not mean that now you are looser and you will not make profit ever but instead from these mistakes you learn and this lead you to the successful path.

Giving time to trading is also very important because if you do not give time to it then you will not realize that what's going on. Always focus on price, market situations and your strategies. If a price drops then you should never sell your holding coin as it can drops your money but whenever markets stabilizes then sell that coin to get better revenue.

Doesnt matter on what are the emotions you should set upon or what are the things that you are doing with which losing is inevitable and there's no way that you could be able to avoid that even with those veterans or professionals that we do have in this market.Thing that differs them is that those pro's does have the idea on what to do or on what measure they would really be doing in the time that they are facing such condition.
Futures is really that too risky i must say but since it does give out that opportunity on getting high profits specially on high leverage on which it do really sparks out everyones interest on doing so
and this is why its not really that surprising that they would really be tending to dive in without any proper preparations and awareness.

I often see that all the money is lost because of a little greed. So never be greedy. The more we can stay away from greed, the better for us. But most of the time I am in a lot of trouble because of my own mistakes. But now I am  After understanding everything, I don't have the decision to do the work because of this, my loss amount has decreased a lot.

 Entering and performing trading activities in futures trading requires sufficient knowledge and you cannot be willing to take a risk.

    If those who already have ideas and knowledge in futures trading are still losing, what about those who don't know about it yet, right? That's why even if you lose in trading, you must also know what lesson you can get from it so that that mistake doesn't happen again so that you can stay longer and deepen your knowledge here as an individual trader in cryptocurrency.

There is no way to say that 95% of traders lose money, but the majority do, it's true. And it happens not only for beginners, but the majority often happens for beginners due to lack of knowledge and discipline that doesn't support or even doesn't exist at all.

Now in trading, like any other business, money is squeezed out of many of the least savvy traders and given to elite traders.
No way, 100% of all traders will make money, except for a continuous bull market.
Greed, emotional, mental and fear rule the majority and they will lose money for trading reasons.

Based on my experience in future trading I have some trick how to get profit and less risk or loss there,

• Apply Profit Target

Many people in future trading become greedy without use how percentage for profit target, they will forget when looking PNL profitable more than 100% until price going drop.

• Set Stop Loss

This important points in future trading, have set with how much percentage loss and stop trading tricked will help us from liquidation, make stop loss above from your target because some time Binance can't take or filled with your stop loss price.

Indeed 95% seems too much already even though I also saw a lot of threads here about the people who fail on futures trading. To fail can be normal especially if we are only getting started but later on, it is still possible for us to improve and recover what we have lost. Just like in trading that some people will lose first in order for others to profit, that is also how the bull market works.

There will be people first who will lose money during the bear market and then there must be people who will offer their money first (buy coins) to build up the price. If we know that we have all the negative traits that you mention, it will be better to avoid trading first because it can only affect our performances.
