‎One Thing That Keeps Me Going While Trading

[AVE5]

Loses are certain when it comes to trading, it's not just all about winning all the time, infant I even see losses as motivation to tell me that am almost there, although its comes with emotional depression, heartbreak and so on,

Please don't give a room for such an emotion that can break your heart. Depression will also eat your sense of reasonings too.
Time goes by too when you'll open trades without examining properly of whatsoever strategies they've activated.
The depressions is always felt like "WEAKNESS" which drains you mentally. Please don't do that yourself if you've been allowing depressions to eat through you.
Note that heartbreak is also a killer of life. So don't let befall victim else you may loose your funds and same time loose your life.
It's advice to treat your trading emotions as that of gambling so that we don't damage our mental healths at the  course of loosing more than we can afford to lose.

[PostQuantumBTC]

While being resilient from giving up when you experience loss in your trading isn't a bad idea, it's also important to know that you can't recover all your losses immediately.

Some traders will keep losing. They will think of different strategies but the strategies may later fail and the loss may continue, this is what I have noticed about trading.

Trading will take time, take money and get many of the traders are losing. This is just the reality that many traders will not accept but later accept.

Many traders lose more than they should have lost in trading because they chase to recover every loss and in their defense, they call it trading bravery. Sometimes the best decision is to stay away from the market for a while and clear your head.

Yes but it is easy to say but hard to do.

Everyone's motivation when we trade is about making money. But can't stop those who are giving up too early because they see it is going nowhere.

And that's good for you if you're seeing the positive side of it despite that you're losing and heartbreaks after frustrations.

The losses are normal.

No one can skip that especially for the beginners because everyone also has experienced that. But after experiencing it, that's where it should start whether you'll continue for more or you have to stop for your peace of mind and take the losses.

[stepwilli]

Keep going only when you know that you are also seeing positive results but just a few mistakes here and there. What I mean is that it is also important for traders to make sure that they are not just wasting their time and money with trading, because if you are constantly facing losses and see no progress then you need to stop, re-evaluate the whole process, increase your knowledge, practice more and then see if things are working out or not. It is a very good thing to stay motivated, but only when there is an actual reason to stay motivated.

For traders who are usually doing good but they sometimes incur losses, it is obviously not that big of a problem, they only need to find the mistakes they have made and work on them for the next time so that they don't face the same problem again. We can become successful only if we learn from our mistakes, because that's how we grow and learn. If you make a mistake and just forget about it and move on, then you can make the same mistake again because you didn't even try to find the root of the problem.

So, as a trader, it's important that we learn from our mistakes, find the root of the problems being caused, and work on them so that they don't incur again in the future.

Hope you are not expecting much from trading? Make sure you do not focus on trading for life changing money. It is possible, but the chance that it can happen is lower than the chance that it can not happen. If you do not want to lose much to trading, change this mentality that can make you to be having emotional trading.

I think that, over time, most people come to realise that trading was never meant to make them rich overnight. From my experience in the market, I've learned that trading is mainly a tool for building wealth. Don't ever think you can get rich quickly through trading, because this is the psychological side of trading that most people don't talk about.
Yes, your goal is to make money, but you cannot make money without taking risks. The way I see it, trading is a way to grow wealth gradually. That's why wealthy traders tend to make more money from the market than the average trader. They have more capital, so they only need to take small risks to make bigger profits.

They don't spend too much time in the market. They might take a 1:2 risk-to-reward trade, secure their profits, and leave the market alone. Over time, you realise that they can remain profitable and consistent with this approach. Their profits can easily cover several losses, which is something many people underestimate. But how long does it take the average small trader to understand this? For some, unfortunately, they may never realise it.

This is the big mistakes most traders make. They thought that because they are losing constantly, one day they will hit it big and make a lot of money that can change their life forever, just like jackpot in gambling, but they are wrong. Trading do not work that way because you don't make money in the market consistently by luck, and even though you managed to win a big trade, you may lose everything including your margin if you don't really know what you are doing.

What separate a successful trader and an unsuccessful one's is that they are profitable. They are not winning every trade but if everything is calculated, they will always be at the winning end, and that is how traders make money, so don't be here and be thinking that you are going to be losing until you hit it big one day, because trading and gambling are not the same.

I just thinking how getting a one time successful trading can change life, is there anything like this? I don't think so. Only gambling that can give players this kind of rewards, but not trading.

Becoming successful in trading means that, you can be getting pretty little profits on a consistent level. For example, a $15 gain daily is enough to be more successful than hitting big amount that seems to be life changing, which I think nothing like such exists.

That mentality is not proper, adjust it if you come across my post.

[Floczy]

regardless I still maintain being consistently because you never can tell the trade that will eventually change one's life for good.

The trade you say,

One trade can not change your life, you need constant energy, constant focus trades upon trades learning upon learning and so on understanding that will change your life.

You speak of it like it's just 1 trade you need, you actually need a lot if you want a life changing experience

Your opinion is right as well, but someone who doesn't earn up to $15 a day and then starts earning up to that amount everyday for a month up to a year, has definitely become successful and has or is having a life changing experience because it shows that they already mastered their strategy, know their onions and am sure the amount may be more than this if they increase the capital allocation they use to trade to get profit.

Although a new trader may find losses as a discouraging factor if they don't see it as a lesson and a sort of test startup to their company and of course losses being part of the game. When discipline is mastered over emotions, consistency and not just the right knowledge, but the application of the right strategy and knowledge, would surely turn the painful losses into a life changing experience that says anything you set your mind to do, is possible and often times leads to success.

I understand your point because most probably you are still a beginner in this journey. But never forget that trading itself is already risky, even if you are trading as focused and disciplined as you are, the uncertainty in the trading market makes any trader lose their funds. And from my trader's experience, its not reasonable to expect a lot from trading, and assume that after all those losses and pain from losing, winning will certainly be the end goal. At least learn to trade as a side hustle, without leaving your main job for the sake of trading.

Well, I must say that there are also few traders who have made life-changing experience from trading, but take note, they have lost a lot more more than what you can imagine. That 's why I don't suggest being too positive and optimistic with trading.

Instead, learn to trade like you are just looking for extra income, not really doing it for main source of living. Trading is never a stable career that can offer a sustainable income, the chances to lose is high than expect winning from it.

Losses and profits are part of every business you start, and there is nothing that you can achieve overnight to become a successful person, but luck is a different thing in this case. Trading is a very hard space, and honestly, I believe that you really need to have a strong mind and a willing heart to jump into this space. In most cases, I avoid trading because I am a holder kind of person who holds assets in the spot section.

This is not like I don't trade; I do, but very little. To start a proper trading career, you really need a lot of FA(Fundamental analysis) and TA(Technical analysis) knowledge, and you still can't be sure you are going to win every trade after putting in all these efforts due to the unpredictable behaviour of the crypto market. Well, this is my point of view on this.

There is nothing wrong with what you have described; failure is your best teacher, helping you to improve or rise up to make all of that a reality. Experiencing losses in trading is a common occurrence and serves as a point of evaluation for every trader, rather than a total failure. Each transaction offers valuable lessons, helping you identify gaps in your strategy so you can make improvements for the future. Through a habit of structured evaluation, the disappointment stemming from a loss will gradually transform into data that strengthens your confidence for future trades.

What about the traders that continue to trade and they continue to lose? I think trading is very risky than what many people think on this forum.

Some people will learn from their mistakes, become confidence and lose money to trading again.

Do you know that some people have been trading for years but they continue to lose money after thinking that they have experience in trading already?

The best thing some people can learn from trading is for them to be using very small amount of money to trade which they can lose smd not bothered about it.

Trading isn't something to be consistent about, in fact this is the most dangerous side of trading, any traders who are just starting to trade thinks that been consistent is what will make them a pro trader, they are wrong.

Trading is a process and it must be a very slow process, I don't do daily trading because the likelihood of losing is high, ask those who are good at trading, weekly trading is better and it's not as stressful as doing it every day.

The truth is many people want to turn trading into their daily job, it's why many are losing money, you need a far more reliable source of income first then you can start risking small money on trading.

When you are through with the basics of trading what you need next is good indicators, you will never have good results as a trader if you don't have good indicators to rely on.

This should be the mindset of newbie traders, and not veterans. A newbie with less experience should experience the highs and lows, wins and loses, success and failure of the market. These experiences will shape them, and help them come up with a suitable strategy than can give them an edge—but still, it won't guarantee success, so many things are involved in being a successful trader.

Motivation is one thing, learning from your failures another. The most important is to learn and rack up enough experience to be confident while trading, and not just guessing or having a trial/error session without actually learning anything.

[maydna]

Don't forget about introspect and analyze of what you did before so you can find the mistake and fix it. Trading is not a quick way to earn money and needs patient learning trading. You can lose anytime but you can also profit anytime so self discipline, emotion, risk, and money management will be necessary.

If you lose, you don't have to feels bad but use that to check the mistake and find it to fix. Success in trading is possible but to go that, you should learn many things and can't happen short time.

actually, sometimes I observed some people who trade seem to be out of their mind and lose control to themselves, due to I've seen a lot of it in YouTube
who got destroyed their lives.

It's like what they expected was the opposite of what they expected, and that's actually quite stressful on their part, of course.

Trading is fun and keeps the adrenaline pumping but I've always avoided friends to diversify their efforts because life changing money hardly ever comes from trading, Manny who are good traders start academies, trading communities, and lots others that can give you another income stream while giving you ample time to do the trading you love so much.

Might even look into other income streams that are not trading related. The more the merrier.

Motivating yourself to stay positive is certainly good. But sometimes we have to think logically about whether trading is actually the most suitable for us or not. Knowledge and skills will definitely continue to grow along with experience when we trade. But when you keep losing, you have to think that maybe trading is not the right place for you. Thinking positively is certainly not wrong, but we have to be brave to tell ourselves that there is a possibility we are indeed not talented in trading.
