You Learn More from Losses than from Wins

[Japinat]

Obviously, you'll never learn from your wins because there's no need to change your strategy if you are winning. However, when you experience losses, that's when you will evaluate your strategy, change it, and try if it's working. The thing is, if you keep learning from your mistakes and never give up, eventually you will become a successful trader and earn a consistent profit in trading.

I have heard that there are people making a living from gambling, but I would say it's more possible in trading.

I agree on that you will loss because of your  mistake and that mistake will teach you because you will remember it until such time that you will face another trial to make another decision and because you already done losing because of you're mistake you will surely choose or decide the right strategy because you done that before and you already experience it, so i think this is very true we will learn more from our loses .

This is very true, in any case and in any field, especially business, everyone must learn from mistakes. From most successful people they tell me that in every struggle there must be such a thing as falling, but they use that as motivation and learn from their mistakes so they don't fall into the same hole. By studying mistakes, we will get a solution so that in the future something like this does not happen again and we can be one step ahead in knowledge in that field.

in terms of trading losses are commonplace and it's good when you experience them learn from the mistakes you've made so that losses don't come to you again. A trader is required to be patient and firm in making decisions and must be able to maintain psychology in order to remain calm when experiencing losses.
Experience is the best teacher that we cannot get in school.

I don't think it's important to lose or win for novice traders, but the main thing to do is to be able to trade healthily. we analyze, we have a framework and we are disciplined within that framework. that way we practice analysis, of course money management, and also our psychology. so that in the future we can assess the development of our trading style whether it has progress or not, and of course we can evaluate it for a better future

All you're trying to say is that the novice should win. It mightn't necessary be him winning with his trade but he must win with other habits that'll turn him into a professional trader. Even when he loses, he should be able to learn from his mistakes and work on them so he doesn't repeat the mistakes in future that'll possibly cause more damaging losses.

A trader has to win or his losses will make him give up on himself. A trader that isn't winning would not have the motivation to continue trading. The wins mightn't happen everything but it should be more than the losses that he experiences so he can have a profitable balance sheet.

[AakZaki]

Just a standard thing;

Less risks = Less profit
Huge risks = Huge profit

It is really just depending on how someone would really be handling out themselves into their investment or business decisions.When you do trade then you should already
anticipate that you would be losing because its an inevitable thing and there's no such thing about being a perfect trader or what.
The thing you should be boggled is on how you should really be minimizing out those risks of losing and tending to avoid those errors as minimal as you can.

Even a professional will never be a perfect trader. Losses are common to anyone, investment decisions made are personal responsibility and are prepared with all risks. To minimize the risks that could occur, then do a good and right strategy. Without a strategy nobody is safe, mistakes are bound to happen so it is necessary to anticipate with several trading plans.

Most of the lessons we learn during trading comes from our losses.We hardly learn new things from our winning trades because we take time to analyse the market more and find out where we made our mistakes after our losses it helps us to learn more about the market so as to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.

[Bollexz1]

That's technical because the more losses we record, the more experience we gather and enforce ourselves to learn. People don't learn from sweet things but rather from bitterness. Trade with profits constitutes sweetness. Amassing sweetness would not make a trader think deeply until a trade turns the opposite. Only then, we would be eager to make corrections.

I have heard that there are people making a living from gambling, but I would say it's more possible in trading.

it is true that it is very important to correct mistakes in ourselves and the strategies we use when we experience losses in trading activities.
only learning from mistakes and never giving up does not guarantee us a successful trader but we must also be able to limit our losses.
never giving up is good but I think we also have to keep thinking logically and realistically to set a loss limit for ourselves. if we keep trying and keep failing without limiting the losses we experience it's the same as we don't learn from mistakes and do reckless things.
when we try and it turns out that we exceed the loss limit that we have set, sometimes we have to stop for a moment and should think about what went wrong and maybe we should try to consult people who understand better about trading and ask why we always experience losses.

just like your car, when there is damage then you will fix it, but when the condition of the car is fine then you don't need to fix it, just service it regularly.
but some people will learn from other people mistake, and wont do the same thing.

[harapan]

People learn more from losses that win but it shouldn't be so. You cant just learn from only your losses, there are also a lot of things to learn from wins. It is not wise to only learn or mostly learn from losses. So what happens when you learn from the loss and do things right next time and the wins starts pouring it? Does that means you stop learning? As a human, in whatever you do, not just in trading, try to learn from every single situation; loss or win, learn from it.

Adopting the winning habit is what we make us a successful trader in the market. We need to learn how to minimize our losing if in case it happens by making sure that our risk ratio is quite affordable. The market is very business with frequent up and down movement which can make us make a big loses if we do not trade according to what is left in our bankroll or account so that we are not going burst our account.
 The level of risks we are supposed to take as a trader should not be more than what we are expected to take or else we are going to keep losing if the market turn against us.

It is true that people learn new things by learning from mistakes but how easy or difficult trading is depends on the perception, capital and mental makeup of the person. If a person is negative timid and has very little money, then trading will be quite difficult. If a person is positive courageous and determined to succeed, they find it easier than most types of foreign exchange employment.

Remember the first trading lesson you learned as a newbie? Did it come from a win or a loss? A loss teaches you about the reality of the market, protects you from becoming cocky, and humbles you. When you are a beginner trader, a small loss is not a terrible thing. Losses teach you proper trading risk management strategies and techniques and respect for the market and prepare you for long-term success.

Remember the first lesson you learned as a beginner trader? Did it come from a loss or a win?

I got my first trading lesson when I participated in the purchase of EOS tokens (in the summer of 2017). 

I bought the tokens at $0.85 and then the price went up to $6 within three days.  It was a huge stroke of luck for a beginner in cryptography. 

However, I was not able to sell my tokens in time and take profits, because I had a poor understanding of how the Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange works.  Meanwhile, such a high price for the token did not last long.  Very soon, the price of the EOS token dropped to $2.... 

This was the first lesson I learned as a cryptocurrency trader - there are always opportunities to make big profits in the crypto industry, but you need to prepare in advance so as not to miss your chance at such moments!

You can literally have much more fun if you receive a bonus. I don't get it why you're telling us that it does not matter. Most bonuses are small if we only wager small amounts. On the other hand, for high rollers, I believe bonuses DOES matter for them. First of all, the amount of bonus you can get depends to your wagered amount.

Bonuses are not fun. Bonuses encourage us to gamble longer.  Because when we get bonus, a kind of greed works in us and we get motivated to increase our level further and thus we can fall into gambling addiction any time. So I don't think it's bad to continue gambling in general just for fun. And it's better not to focus on the bonus.  But luckily if you get a bonus while gambling then it will serve as a small gift. It will be more fun when you get a small gift without knowing it

The purpose of the bonuses is that, to make it longer for the player to play and have fun, if it is taken for just that it seems perfect to me, but for the average player who wants to make a profit then the bonuses are not the most appropriate to be able to take them and expect profits because they would simply get desperate, and they would feel a lot of pressure and maybe some stress because they play under pressure looking for profits when in reality they are achieving the opposite, there are players who make their deposits, they do not take bonuses but play with their money, yes they lose it, they assume it, but if they win they will withdraw the money and that's what I mean, with a bonus things are not like that.

Many people like the bonus issue.  Many may not like too. It is offered only for the purpose of attracting a gambler. On the other hand, a gambler gets some bonus after losing several times, it also acts as consolation for him.  And he forgets about his loss for that time. And then he is very happy with his bonus.  And continued his gambling. It is an advanced strategy of gambling platforms to keep gamblers on their platform for a long time. I personally don't like bonuses too much because it can make me too addicted to gambling

There are several people who are also courageous,bold and have money with the determination that they will win in trading who gets dissappointed at the end of the day.Succesful trading does not come from how determined you are to succeed,it all comes from the particular approach or strategy you use while trading.If trading were based on positive mindset,so many person's who are in the trading community would have made it big,but since it's not like that,you just need to turn the failures you get into experience,and as we all know that experience is the best teacher.Its true that the more one fails,the more he gains more experience about trading because no successfull trader today will tell you their trading history has been smooth throughout.If they have had experiences today,it all comes from their previous failures they had in the past,and how they reacted and learnt from those mistakes they made.

I really thought that individuals learn more lessons from losing than winning, and that when you win big, you won't remember it, but when you lose big, you would always remember it.

I gain knowledge by losing when I trade my bitcoin. I don't know a lot about it, and I was worried that if I asked someone to trade for me, they might scam me or something similar. By that point, I didn't trust anyone when it came to trading. This was a very big mistake on my part because I almost lost my entire investment of $2,000 in trading.
The worst part was when I was told I would win if I traded because I would receive a bonus. I now inquire, and they inform me that there is no bonus for trading. And I did it myself, which is how I lost my money. I learned a very important lesson from this.

Good point, in trading there's always a good balance in between, winning trades drives you to keep on enhancing your strategy same goes with losing trade which will push you more to find the best way to improve, all will be depends from how you take the outcome and how positive you are in each result. If you feel that there are things that you needed to adjust, it's you that will going to find the right pattern to improve.

Though in trading, losing experienced strengthens your positive vibes that you can improve and you can be more motivated to push yourself to achieve your goals.

at first i had good luck trading and continued to make profits. but yeah, then greed made me lose control a little and I ended up having a little loss. and yes, the first lesson that really made an impression on me at that time was indeed from my first defeat. I started to learn that it is very important to keep our emotions calm in trading activities. fear and greed we really have to control. well, from defeat we really get more memorable lessons.

A trader has to win or his losses will make him give up on himself. A trader that isn't winning would not have the motivation to continue trading. The wins mightn't happen everything but it should be more than the losses that he experiences so he can have a profitable balance sheet.

There will always be profitable trades and losses in trading, this is normal, the most important thing is that there are much more profitable trades. A trader should be able to develop a list of rules for himself over time, which he must adhere to, if he violates them, then losses will happen more and more often. Everything seems simple, but disciplined to follow all the rules is not so easy, so the majority loses in the market.
