They are not making money but they continue to trade

[Finestream]

No one wants to admit that they are just wasting their money in trading. Maybe it's a matter of pride and instead of accepting the reality that they are not really good traders, they end up creating defense mechanism that they are losing because they lack the skills and strategies, they cannot timing the market, or they are not patient enough, when they can be practical and leave trading because its not making sense for them.

But let's be honest, everyone experienced this before we get to realized that trading is not really meant for us. We make excuses so that other people will get to see what we want them to see, but in the end, failure is non-negotiable. Losses are inevitable, and the more we get blinded by our ambition in trading, the more we allow ourselves to lose what we can no longer managed to lose.

Personally based on my trading experience and my readings and monitoring of trading related social media, I believe that about 80% of traders are losers. Most of the influencers who claim to make 100% winning trades are liars who only show the results of winning trades and hide the losing trades.

Trading can sometimes be profitable but day trading is tiring and risky so i think the best way is to choose Bitcoin or coins with strong projects and hold them for the long term.

Influencers will never publicly show their trading losses because their audience will not buy paid tutorials or signals. This is part of their business strategy, so crypto influencers always highlight only the trades they have won. Conscious traders will never believe that if they claim 100% winning, only the beginners fall into the trap of these scammers (social media crypto influencers) and trade by buying signals, and those who trade by following crypto signals lose everything at the end of the day. Those who keep losing but then keep trading, those who can't make any money, yes, they should hold bitcoin for the long term, and if you can hold with patience, the profit can be said to be very certain.

Trading is not an easy thing to do, it is never a place to make fast wealth as some people think but it is worth every effort put into mastering the skills. There will be losses in the process of learning the skill but it is just the price to pay to acquire one of the highest paying skill in the world. Due to the risk of trading, risk management constitute a major part of the skill because that is what will keep a person longer in the game. Therefore, anyone who employs proper risk management will not be perturbed by the losses that do happen because the benefits of trading is enough to enable such trader endure the few losses that do happen.

Yes, that's right. There's another trick some influencers who use trading bots on Solana use that I discovered when I was a member of one of these groups on Telegram. The influencer was posting screenshots of trades with profits of up to 200%, even 300% or more, and the screenshots were accurate.

But then I discovered the trick because memes on the Solana network rise like rockets in minutes due to weak liquidity, but this rise only lasts for minutes and then the collapse begins. This influencer was exploiting the participants in his channel to sell memes during the rise and take screenshots before the meme collapses, then leave the subscribers crying over their loss.

I think this is because they don't want to admit the real problem. Instead, they suddenly see a profitable trade and believe that they have acquired the skill. They think that they will make a profit in the future, so they keep telling everyone about the future in the present. So that no one takes the trade negatively. But after a few months, the total balance is less than before.

There is another thing, if someone says that trading is profitable but his own life, portfolio or long term result does not show it, then he is misleading himself and trying to cover up his failure in front of others.

We must admit that trading is not profitable at all because many times it is seen that people lose their money most of the time and give excuses. There are some people who give such excuses that they seem to be very patient and experienced and skilled traders but basically they have no experience. When there is a loss, if they stop trading and start again later, if there is still a loss, then it should be understood that the luck of that person is not good at all and he lacks skill. Trading is not only about being patient but also about gaining experience about the market and analyzing it. Basically, if you are patient while investing, it is acceptable but I think it is not effective at all in trading. Rather, trading is about making profits depending on your own skills and experience, while most of the time experienced people face losses.

Making money from trading takes constant practice and a lot of times you are going to keep making a few mistakes that might lead to losses. Losing is part of the process but sometimes it might be linked to not being disciplined and also over trading/greed. It is important to identify those mistakes and correct them in order not to keep on incurring more losses. It is important to avoid trading with huge amounts during the beginning stages of trading, you can make use of demo accounts so that you are not going to incur too many losses.

Those that has been into trading for a long time knows that it's not easy to be a profitable one, because winning and losing some trade is certainty in trading, but it's only few that are actually profitable. It is mostly newbies or those that has been brainwashed by influencer or motivational speaker that sees trading as the easiest way to make money, but when they have tried their luck and the losses became constant, that is when most of them will either give up or realize that it's not as easy as most influencer or motivational speaker are saying, that is why any trader that wants to be profitable in the future, must go for knowledge first, then after that, controlling your emotions should be your priority, since your knowledge will be a waste if you fails to control it when trading.

The problem that traders are having is the use of too much leverage. This is the first thing that makes them lose and it is linked to greed and everyday means of looking for money which landed them loss instead.

The second one that I know is over trading. They could have been making money and got to their target that day, but if the money is made too early, they will still prefer to continue to trade with high leverage and which can make them to later lose money.

Another one which is also linked to greed is about increasing leverage during losses.

Why are people losing in trading but they find excuses that it is because they are not patient, not following their rules and just a little correction should be done. After few months passed, they continue to lose but they still give an excuse or excuses.

Why are they saying trading is profitable but it is not showing in their lives like people that just do not bother but patient and make money from holding.

They will say trading requires patient but are they patient when they want to earn money always within few hours daily.

Then they are not really trading.

I hear this way too often that 90% "traders" make losses. But the reality is that these 90% are just guessers and gamblers, not actual traders. Same goes for anyone who uses any kind of financial instrument without understanding the technical and fundamental analysis behind them first.

It's like watching a person trying to fill their Tesla with diesel while claiming they are professional drivers. It does not make sense.

They have been encouraged by their own greed for far too long.

They are difficult to say that they are fail in trading and needs to learn more. That is normal seeing they are like that as they can't accept what happens to them. They could continue on trading and hopes they will make a profit soon.

If they hard to learn more the trading, the situation will be the same and they are not making money so they should realizing the mistake and fixing it before the situation becomes bad. They could say about patience but if they don't have enough skills to trade, they will still difficult to trade.

But that is up to them, we can't saying anything except they realize by themselves. That is a lesson to us and if we want make a profit in trading, we must have good skills so we can finds the coin.

As a responsible trader and a trader that knowns what exactly he or she came for in the market  then such trader should weigh a lot of things around him if his or her trading history is more loss.  Staying patience and facing losses back to back without making any decisions either changing our strategies or boosting up our risk management then losses are going to keep showing up but if we take proper consideration into little factors around us and things that would easily triggers losses then we can easily provide good solutions for them and we would enjoy the journey but if we stay put without making any necessary steps towards it then it will always remind the same.

The excuse which they give about trading is true. Them not having patient is not just into the trading but patient to learn.  Trading is all about learning and if you dont have the patience to learn it will be difficult to get a better result in trading.when it comes to trading what people are so concern about is to make profit and making profit in trading is not just about going into trading with just little understanding but you must be prepared to understand trading better. Patient to learn , and to upgrade is the major challenge people do have in trading and it is too hard for traders to take their time to learn better.

Trading is not simple to learn. You must be highly knowledgeable about it to develop your own skills . If you haven't done mistakes or encounter losses in trading before it means you haven't started trading or you're just a trader on paper.. Many people has been mislead that losses in trading is avoidable, only for them to find out that they have been deceive once they start trading by themselves. This is a common misconceptions by influencers that losses can be avoided, even a highly skilled trader can't avoid losses, although he can minimise it but be can't completely avoid it.

The thing is that trading is not for everyone, you will see some people that are patient and take time to learn but they are not patient while trading. They will think they are still patient but be seeing money lost just like that. Some people want to be patient and be a good trader but they are just losing is what they saw in trading. Some peor eventually quit because they do not want the loss to continue.

Most people say trading is profitable because they are inspired by theory or other's success, but they cannot maintain that discipline in their own case, and this is normal for beginners. And yes, most beginners think of trading as gambling, that they invested today and tomorrow they will get 10 times the return. And everyone talks about patience, but real patience does not mean sitting still. Those who think that they have to earn something every day, are actually treating trading like a job, which is not possible but yes, it can be treated like a business, because in business there is profit as well as loss, So I would say, trading can be profitable but only for those who can control themselves.

Yeah, most newbies do end up not making enough money from trading, or probably most likely they end up losing money. The theory of trading says that it is possible to make a profit, and it IS possible to make a profit but you need to be careful with what you are doing or you could end up losing money as well.

There are many people who have done differently, and that caused them to have a different approach at this. I would believe that the best case for all of us would be trading small and slow at first so that we could learn how to trade gradually. If you jump into it right away then you are not going to get the best result.

Any trader that incur losses in trading by giving any excuses of not being patience is not being truthful, some newbies traders thinks trading is job where they can quickly earn huge profits within the shortest period of time without undergoing the vigorous learning process of trading, in fact a lot of them uses high leverage in their bid to earn massive profits nevertheless ended up getting liquidated thus losing all their investment, more so a lot them were warn to rather invest their money in crypto by buying low and sell during the bull runs rather than to trade yet they defied all advises given to them.

Just yesterday, I was discussing this very topic with a dozen traders on the Cryptomus forum. They aren't professionals, but they’ve been in the market long enough to know the score. Most of them spent years blowing their accounts chasing the dream of financial freedom. Interestingly, those who finally achieved it are often disappointed—they’ve realized that with proper risk management, the returns are actually quite modest.

As for the talk about "lack of discipline" or "focus," those are just empty excuses. Nowadays, it’s trivial to code a bot to follow a set algorithm. The real problem is that these "undisciplined" traders don't actually have an algorithm to follow in the first place.

Most people enter crypto looking for instant, massive wealth. A lucky few might hit the jackpot, but following the "casino rule," they usually lose it all trying to double down. Memecoins didn't appear out of thin air—they exist because the market demands hype and "moonshots," not steady growth.

Those who are given the advice to make investments don't just defy those advices and go for trading on their own, their so-called mentors and inspirers have a lot to do with it.

When a newbie enters this market, they immediately start looking for more information about how they can make the best of it and how they can make money from here, and when you search for how to make money from crypto, you will definitely reach channels and pages where their creators are mostly talking about trading and how one can make a ton load of money from it, and they don't give any newbie warnings or anything, mostly.

When newbies watch such videos or read stuff like that, stuff where they are being told that if they get into futures trading, they can easily make $1,000 from only $50, and some people would even upload videos where they say they are going to complete a challenge of making $1,000 from $50, and whoever watches that video as a newbie will think that it's easy and they can also do it, so they decide to go ahead and try it, and we know what happens when they do so; exactly, they lose their money and learn the hard way.

They are not making money but they continue to trade

That's human nature in general, just like those who keep gambling, in fact they keep losing, so do those who trade crypto, they already know there is no profit, but they keep trading.

Humans are curious, ambitious, greedy, have the desire to try again and so on, most humans find it difficult to control their thoughts and desires. Humans often forget the mistakes they made in the past. In short, money can hypnotize the mind, no matter what you lose.
