what a trading story

[Emitdama]

Stories are powerful, but their meaning ultimately depends on how they're interpreted.

In your story, if you replaced the seed with a baby snake, the entire message would change. You could spend years feeding and caring for it, only to realize one day that it has grown large enough to swallow you. The lesson then becomes that not everything worth nurturing leads to a positive outcome.

The same applies to trading. Trading *can* be profitable, but that doesn't mean it will be profitable for everyone. Success isn't determined by passion alone. Passion can inspire you to pursue something, but it doesn't guarantee that it will become your profession.

For example, I might be deeply passionate about a particular sport, but so are millions of others. Despite my dedication, I may never reach the professional level. Passion is important; it gives you the drive to improve, but it isn't, by itself, a guarantee of success.

The same principle applies to trading. Study, discipline, and experience increase your chances, but they never eliminate uncertainty.

DONT GAMBLE, PLANT.

Not all seeds grow equally in trading, even after you plant them. Even with a good setup, you will still lose. The difference is that those losses are no longer due to blind guesses, but rather come as part of a tested plan, that's why risk management can never be omitted.

And now you understand a significant percentage of life.

Another thing is that confidence and hope are not the same thing in the market. Hope comes without evidence and confidence comes from observing, In my opinion a trader's biggest edge is not an indicator, but rather building statistical confidence in their strategy. Then each entry no longer feels like a gamble, but rather a controlled decision.

Yes, that's true, there are traders who has standby funds for trading but they never seems to be successful with it, there are those who has little or less but each time they place trade with that little sum, it becomes successful. The both of these traders has passion but the law of uncertainty plays there..

The same thing happens everywhere in every field too, there are those who worked hard all day and night to be successful in business, but no matter how much passion, strength, energy, the result seems slim and heart breaking. But a little effort from an inexperienced person in the same business yield greater result. Both has same passion for business.

Trading does not guarantee anything by investing a large amount of money. There is also uncertainty here. Due to this uncertainty, no matter how much we analyze, it is difficult to maintain positive results in the long term. Experienced traders may be able to bring positive results through risk management and experience. However, if you get a big success by chance, it should not be considered a guarantee and this is where many people make the mistake of thinking that if they get success in a few small trades, they have understood everything and they will be able to maintain their victory in the next trade. And such overconfidence has become the cause of loss for many. However, it is not that skill and experience are worthless in trading. In the short term, the influence of uncertainty and luck may be great, but in the long term, knowledge, discipline and risk control are the most important for a trader. Therefore, if there is no skill and realistic expectations, the chances of success in the long term may decrease.

It's not about the law of uncertainty, but it's about a difference in knowledge and experience they both have. There is no doubt that there is always uncertainty in this market, but despite that, a trader can be successful if they have knowledge and experience and they apply that where its needed. A lack of funds doesn't make you unsuccessful as a trader, a lack of knowledge does.

Working hard in the wrong direction will never get anyone to success. This is why the wise men said, work smarter, not just harder, because when you work smarter, you know how less hard work can also get you success, but when you work hard without using your brain, that isn't going to get you anywhere. Similarly, when you are into trading, you don't just need to keep reading theories and memorizing strategies, because that is not going to make you successful, but you will have to be smart enough to know which strategy is to be used based on the current market conditions and situations.

It goes both ways, there is no trader without a record of losing before as much as they making profits from they trades, so is both ways and Karl_3000 is right on the bad side of trading which results from a trader's bad decisions or market uncertainty.

Trader should know that your profit is another person loses and also your loss is someone else's profit; this is what we should understand about trading.

Holding is an investment which is vastly different from trading in practice and reality.

That is true mate!
Trading is like give and take, garbage in garbage out.. a traders decisions is almost 80% percent of their trading records or history.
The higher the leverage the higher the amount they could be losing if the market doesn't go according to their ways of analysis. That is why it's usually said that it better to have a one better setup to make profits than jumping across every single trades and yet they loses all, of course you are feeding the whales, that is why before going into trading that person must learn to work on their emotions, and also their greed index should be extremely low otherwise loses could be higher than the winning records.

I remember my old mentor about telling me that investing is like planting a seed. But with what you've explained about the stone, it's only a display and to make the garden or the farm look good although if it's with the technical land scape of where you planted the seed helps, then so be it.

Because I haven't heard and seen that a stone grows when you plant seed on the soil and you water it. I'm trying to understand it if there's a vocabulary or what not or literally something with it but sorry I failed to.

But the whole thing you've said and analogy is about trading and investing requires patience. Don't just do what others do and make your own journey fun as there will be challenges along the way.

Maybe the example could have been better, but I agree with the core sentiment that OP is trying to convey. There are 2 extremely active and potent sections of this forum: Gambling & Trading.

Some people started from the same point and, those who indulged in gambling learnt nothing, lost money, some got addicted and depressed and some lost everything they had. I am not against gambling but when most people are facing struggling time with gambling, gambling cannot be a thing to pursuit toward achieving the financial needs but unfortunately most people realize this fact very late or never accept to realize.

Those who went the trading route might have lost money, earned nothing, but they gained knowledge, developed analytical skills and some become extremely successful traders. Still, we cannot assume about 100% success rate for all people who enter here. But, trading may produce positive results depending upon the level of efforts we show on learning and practising.

One thing that I have observed and noticed myself in trading is that you can only be profitable in a short time because your strategy will fail you at last. Traders run at loss in the long run because you are trying to make profit by predicting the future. Volatility makes the market risky and not favourable in short term which is why you need to go on a long term investment plan to limit the risk attached to Bitcoin volatility. You said planting, it takes a gradual process for a seed to grow and yield fruits. Some trees bear no fruit which make it a waste of time, resources and energy.

What if the person started to trade and the bad part of the person life begin? If most traders are losing, I do not think trading is really worth it for most people. I have said it many times that trading will be the reason that some people will miss the coming bull run. There are many people in deep regrets now that instead of trading, they should have hold their coins. I will prefer to hold my bitcoin than to gamble with it and think it is trading. I am losing in trading is the reason my post is like this. Most people are losing in trading.

Trading is a risky area, it is bad for those with little knowledge and experience and good for those with enough experience. Most people lose money while trading, but those with enough knowledge and experience can make money. People who trade do not plan for the long term like investors who wait for a bull run. Rather, people who trade plan to take their profits in a short period of time, while some of them regret it deeply and plan to hold those coins for a long time and sell them when the price increases. The most effective way to invest in Bitcoin is to hold them for a long time and wait for a higher price. No one can make a profit at the beginning of trading, but most people lose, in which case people can learn from their losses.

Most people think that trading means making money quickly. Entering when the market is down and selling when the market is up makes it easy to make a lot of money.

I think this is just a thought or imagination of people, in reality it is not easy to achieve success by trading. It is not right to compare trading with gambling, there is a difference between them. There is a risk of losing money by trading, but if a person has the right knowledge, understands the volatility of the market, uses strategies, enters the market at the right time with patience and is able to control his greed and exit the market, then there is a possibility of making money.

Smart people always say that through trading, the market is not a person's biggest enemy, but a person is his own biggest enemy. This means that when a person cannot control greed, he waits in the hope of making more money, which increases the risk of losing money many times over.

That could be changed by making sure that you deal with short-term trades. Meaning, if you make even 1 dollar profit, get out of that type of trading. If you do something like that and you do that for the long term, then you are going to end up with not a bad result; it would not be a bad deal at all. Most people miss this, because they try to get as rich as possible with each trade, and try to make like 10-20% returns on their trades and hope that they can double it each time, etc. But that is not how it works for me; for me, making small deals and making just some profits, but doing it constantly and many times, is a lot better.

This means it's like the long term: you get out with profit and do it enough, and eventually you will be in profit a lot. Of course, this is not easy and takes time and requires you to be on your computer for many hours a day every day you want to make a profit. Maybe take weekends off to relax if you want to, but in the end, this will make you some money if you know what you are doing.
