Why do traders lose money in trading?

[Pandu Geddon]

Losing money is a normal thing in trading, even if you are a great trader there is no guarantee that 100% of your trades will always be successful, there will definitely be times when you will lose your money in the market. The reasons you say are just ways to reduce potential losses on your trades - practicing them will not make every trade successful. And if a trader can master these things, then he can have the opportunity to secure higher profits and also minimize potential losses in his trading.

that's want to achieve. because no professional trader can guarantee that his trade will be profitable. However, experienced traders have their way of managing trading finances in such a way as to minimize the risk of large losses.

most traders will be happy and quick to make decisions when their trades are profitable. However, when losses increase, traders will experience panic. It can even lead to making wrong decisions, resulting in greater losses.

Yes, majority of traders aren't good at trading and sometimes they make wrong decisions as traders. When those type of traders see profits then they become happy and start considering themselves as good traders, however they actually aren't good at trading but got lucky to have some profits.

Such traders often end up losing the profits and their initial capital and then they start thinking that there's something wrong in market or it's just a Ponzi scheme and nothing else. Such traders often make small profits in their trades and big losses in their other trades. I will consider them as newbies not traders at all.

A good trader is the one who can control his/her emotions when trading and such type of traders often make huge profits from their trades because they know when to open a position and they study the market and pairs before making any trades.

I believe one of the most common reasons for it is because they do not know anything about trading. You may think "why would anyone start trading when they know nothing about it", but that is the reality. They read a few things and think that they know everything they need to know, and some people fool them by showing how some silly token has "amazing potential as can be seen here" and they think "oh I see this chart and it looks good for sure" and invest, when in reality that was nothing at all and they were fooled.

All in all, it is not people who don't know anything, it is people who do not know anything and think that they know something that ends up losing so much money, be aware of how little you know and you won't make a mistake.

No matter how professional your are
No matter how veteran
No matter how old
No matter how long you've been dealing into this market

There's no such thing about guarantees that you wont really be able to lose money. This is why on the moment that you do find yourself having that
kind of issue about those emotional approach or reactions on the time that you do end up on being impulsive with trading then its not something a good thing for you
to deal up with this space. Why? losing money is never been that appealing and never been that gives out that good emotions.
If you are someone whose not good on emotion handling then you would be facing up such issues.

OP already stated this matter on the thread, (2) lack of knowledge.
Of course, people probably will fail in trading if they don't have proper knowledge in trading or even no knowledge at all. I admit it that there are type of people who begin something without thinking a lot, they think they can learn it easily. Unfortunately, trading is surely not a simple matter, it requires specific ability/skills and certain knowledge. It is not a common thing that we can easily learn it while doing it. Many people have false assumption about trading, because they think it is as simple as buying and selling coins only.

Before trade. You need to lean about the training. Trading is not easy to start. Important the knowledge then start the training. Without knowledge you lose the money in trading. So lean the training then start the training process.

In fact, traders don't lose money in trading, but they make wrong decisions that cause them to lose and lose their own money, so we shouldn't be careless in making decisions where we take risks for ourselves, even if it's a profit it's still good, if Loss is what causes ourselves to be frustrated.

In trading, we must first learn the science and techniques for us to start trading, not just trade with our filings, before starting, sometimes we have to learn from scientists and apply it to ourselves, so that we are ready for all the decisions we make ourselves. all risks, so learn first before starting trading.

Who dares to guarantee that traders never lose?
Even an experienced trader will experience losses when the market does not move according to his expectations. Price trends can reverse at any time, even when you get prices rising several percent in one day. Analysis can certainly help traders, but nothing can guarantee that traders will not lose in a market that is constantly fluctuating.

Of course every trader will learn and is must to learn. There is a lot of knowledge based on experience shared in forums and other places, but not all of this knowledge can guarantee that you will become an accomplished trader. It requires consistency and learning, it requires a process and maybe it also requires sacrifice, which in this case is time and money. But you don't need to be an expert before trading, I mean, you can learn while trading and hone your skills with a low nominal budget.

4/ Overtrading—Taking many trades will affect your decision-making ability and lead to poor decisions.

I strongly agreed to this. It's clear that so many people are not satisfied with what the have. They end up losing everything due to overtrade.

Traders are just humans who are highly emotional and are prone to wrong decisions in life. With that, there's no doubt that they can't be trading perfectly in the market and are still susceptible to losses. So the reason why traders still lose money in trading, because their trading decisions sometimes do not fit the market condition, probably because of greed for money that they tend to neglect thinking that trading will still be profitable without considering first the market condition.

Yes, they quickly make that decision thinking that it will help them to stop the bleeding  but most of the time those kinds of market movements are just a fluctuations that easily bouncing back causing those quick decisions leads to a huge loss,  there's always proper adjustments that you can do if you have the right sets of knowledge to use, better understanding and focus with details will helps you to avoid losing or making wrong decisions while still have position trades.

Even though you always do training, you can still lose money in the trading, why? because there is money at risk and also because trading is not only about profit but also the certainty of losing, the impossible thing in trading is always making a profit even though you feel you are an expert but if you keep losing then it's time to stop because that means trading is not suitable for you, even though you have studied and continue to learn because there is something that doesn't suit your character, for example regarding patience and so on.
