A good analyst may not mean a good trader

[Oshosondy]

I thought of this today few hours ago and I decided to also include it as one of the topics I will post today on this forum.

What if someone is good in analyses and he is an analyst, can such person be losing while trading?

Or a good analyst will prefer swing trading and holding than scalping and day trading which are the riskiest trading types?

If you can use some or more people as an example in your post, I will really appreciate that.

I am not a person who is good in analysis, because I consider myself totally opposite, I take trade and market decides to take turn on me hehe.

Let's not talk about me, so there are many people pro in this field have good sense of trading and charts and all that and yeah they still make loss, but they stick to the spot trading, the ones who future trade they make loss all the time, but the spot trades always have choice to manage their trades according to the market condition and there is always hope for them.

They have good sense of risk management and investment and dca and average setting, to make the end profit a better one. I like their math and only a person who can do good math in their mind think of such analysis and I am bad at math hehe. But I disagree that a good analysist might not be a good trader because they come around at last, learn their weakness, but if they are sensitive to their emotions because that matters most. So yes I agree with you.

They can't be a good trader and as good analysist, they must  have the idea about their sitution that they are bad at emotion handling and good at analysis but the analysis + math if a person have that, they are like the dextor of trading.

[Mrbluntzy]

Let me use a scenario here to explain my opinion.

There's a traders that was searching for price analyst, he wanted to employ them in his prediction group and he mentioned the amount that he will be paying the analyst per week. People that were capable must applied for the position but by the teachings of that trader in search of those analyst, I learned that their are some persons who are good in analyzing price, spotting best positions that one can trade successfully but they themselves doesn't really do well while trading because they have always find it difficult to manage their emotions. If they try to trade, they paint their emotions all over the place and end up having losses that beats profitability.

A good analyst can lack the ability of trading psychology, can be unprofessional in managing emotions, dumb in risk management and therefore can not be a successful day trade/scalper on the long run. My guess is that some analysts prefer holding and position trading.

The truth about trading is that, no trader that doesn't experience losses, no matter how good you feel you are in analysing the bitcoin market.

Another thing to note is that , being a good trader does not mean you will not make losses and being a good analyst does not also mean you will not make losses, but if one is a good analyst, it is advantageous in bitcoin trading, because a good analyst will always know the right time to enter the market and when to exit and can always make good use of market trends very well.

If you are a trader and you can't analyse the market very well you will likely be executing your trades at the wrong time, so being a good trader is impossible if you cannot analyse the bitcoin market very well.

A good analyst is hard to find these days because they all want to trade and make big money too with their knowledge, unless for those who already have enough money and just occasionally trade, but it would be hard to see them.

Some people may be good analyst but are scared to trade or don't fancy it at all because of the emotional involvement, still what makes up a good analyst is studying and observation of the market and strategies.
They take the time to see the patterns and interpret accordingly and any one can do that if they are patient enough or in this case employ someone if there's so much other investments or schedules to meet.

[Distinctin]

There are a lot of bitcoin trading analysts these days, but the question is, are they actually trading for real? Or they are just good in analysis but not in the real field of trading?

If this is the case, then all of them will just focus on trading itself, and reap maximum profits, but realistically speaking, trading is never easy but is always tough and complicated, most especially for those who are not real traders. So with this type of traders, if they can’t profit from real trading, at least they can gain some income out from those providing trading analysis and market signals, even if we know they’re actually good at it.

Yes good analysts can be losing everyday because we don’t know whether he understands the importance of good risk management or not. First thing we need to understand is that there is never an actual or accurate trader no matter how good of an analyst such trader is but rather we can experience the market going against the analysis now it has to deal with the risk management of the trader that periods like this are managed

I think we have multiple time agreed that this trading is heavily influenced by the psychological aspect of the trader how he manages the trade like risk management where he uses the required or appropriate leverage size instead of using higher leverage or using proper capital. All this constitutes to 70% of the success of the trade and not necessarily the analysis.

A good analysts might have analyzed the market better but they might not have the best psychology to hold such trade, for example exit early when the market is not going their way instead of sticking to their analysis. All this are what I think can make a good analysts lose in trading

[BitMaxz]

Not all who analyze the market are good at trading since they are analyzing the previous data, not the future price.
If you're asking which they prefer, then it's swing trading or positional trading because they analyze the wider view and predict a high probability could happen. Also, if you go with a higher time frame, you can see less manipulation than in a shorter time frame. That's why it's risky to trade in scalping and intraday due to manipulation.

If you are looking for good analysis, why don't you try to analyze it yourself? Honestly, AI nowadays could help you assist in how to analyze the market; it works just the same as how others analyze the market unless the guy you follow had a different view on how the market works.

[Botnake]

All traders, be it pro or not, will actually endure some losses in trading. No one is excused from it, even if you are born as a great analyst, as it won’t matter how good or effective you are as a trading analyst, but what’s most important is that how you beat and take advantage with the market position and condition.

A good analyst may not mean a good trader, but a good trader will turn out to be a good analyst. There is always  a big difference between the two.

[Shishir99]

If a good analyst were also a good trader, they would have opened a position for themselves and shown some trading results to prove that they are a good analyst. Is this what you wanted to mean? There are two types of analysts: one conducts analysis and trades for themselves, while the other speculates on the market and creates hype. Sometimes the analyst proves wrong because the chart doesn't always follow the previous pattern. 

You will notice that all the analysts advise against taking any financial advice. They simply speculate on the market and share their opinions based on the analysis results. Sometimes these things happen, and sometimes they fail. I'm not sure what you mean by 'good trader.' All trader fails at some point.

In my own understanding, it’s easy to find a good analyst as it can be developed through persistence and consistency of acquiring knowledge. But having a good trader that develops a reliable and profitable trade, despite how unpredictable the market is, that is quite an obsession for those who are aiming to be great traders in the market.

Sure ,their are many differences between a trader and analyst.while a trader also needs to be a good analyst,having analytical skills won't determine your trading success.
Analyst are always rational in their approach,while traders can occasionally be irrational in the field.

In any situation a trader can face losses because the market depends on the fluctuation of demand. It is not possible to predict when it will rise or fall. Experienced traders and analysts can make predictions in some cases and their predictions may be correct. They can also face losses but experience teaches them to have patience.

Each trading strategy can be determined in the context of the traders experience and financial situation. You can use the strategy that you find more convenient. I prefer holding trading to day trading most of the time. Considering the market conditions, I sometimes make profit by day trading.

[JeffBrad12]

Doesn't matter how good your analysis is, with trading there's always some anomaly happening. Trading is speculation more than fundamental analysis so I think just being a good analyst doesn't mean you are being trader but it could be helpful for long term to predict the growth of the asset and many things. It's just not suited for highly volatile market where it's mostly affected by news, sentiment, and hype.

Trading requires good knowledge about the market, the technology for doing both fundamental analysis and technical analysis as well as psychological of the market cycle understanding.

It's risky to do only technical analysis in this market while you skip fundamental analysis which is a preventive solution for your trading position in case your technical analysis is in accurate and you made bad trading position by that wrong analysis. For example, if you do bad technical analysis with Bitcoin which is fundamentally very good, and open your Spot trading position, you can simply hold your trading position in Spot, or cancel it, hold your bitcoin a long time and wait for price recovery.

[TheUltraElite]

I dont examples but what I have seen is that analysts make money from selling their words through news media outlets. They dont trade on their own or do very little trades in the meantime.

Hence they are running a profiting business because they dont have to bear losses but its like a day job.

Also some are making analysis and posting them on telegram channels which are again shilling shitcoina to the members. Thats another dirty way to make money.

[348Judah]

I have seen a countless times that those that even make crypto analysis are not even traders, but they are very good at making analysis, because they have the technical abilities that could best interpret on what is on ground and that coming ahead in trades for us to see, a other category related to this are the influence, some are analyst and some are not, we should know them all and the last one are traders, those who choose to be in charge of the market performance as to when to buy or sell, while ideally, it is important that we combine majority of these skills together as traders, they help achieve a lot.

[bettercrypto]

First of all, performing analysis on a trading chart in the crypto space is not easy, especially if you don't have any knowledge yet about actual trading in the field of crypto business.
But if you already have knowledge in trading, it will be easy for you to do this analysis.

This is because there are fundamentals for performing the analysis; you cannot be unaware of the functions of the tool indicators they use, as this is one of the methods
that greatly helps in performing analysis in an actual trade.

Even the best analysts can lose while trading because analysis and trading are not the same skill a person can read charts perfectly recognize trends and predict movements but still fail to manage emotions or timing trading requires not just analysis but execution discipline and control over greed and fear the market doesn’t always reward accuracy sometimes it punishes hesitation or overconfidence even when the analysis was right.

Take for example traders like Peter Brandt or Michael van de Poppe both are known for strong technical analysis yet they admit openly that they lose trades too they win more because they control losses not because they always predict correctly they treat trading as a probability game not a certainty even the sharpest chart readers only need to be right slightly more than they are wrong if their risk management is solid. Good analysts often prefer swing trading or holding rather than scalping because those methods align more with analysis and less with emotion swing traders look at the bigger picture they focus on trends and patterns that form over days or weeks not seconds or minutes day trading demands speed reaction and tolerance for stress that even experienced analysts might find draining so many of them choose slower styles where patience and understanding matter more than reflex.

Sometimes, being a good trader requires more than just sound analysis. It also requires good execution and self-control.

What I mean is that many people today are skilled at analyzing the market but still experience losses. The reason is usually their inability to control themselves and stick to their plan. Often, people deviate from their plan, resulting in losses. This is usually related to panic or greed.
