Stop loss is not always the answer to everything in trading when it comes to saving one's capital or investment because the type of cryptocurrency and the type of trading you choose for your trading are also important cause they are what will determine your decision.
There are situations whereby the moment the trader chooses to stop loss or close the deal is when the market will reverse.
That's very true especially if the "trader" chooses to trade low-liquidity shitcoins. The usual situation that happens is, it goes down to your stop-loss, you close the trade, then it surges 3x mere moments later leaving you with a loss and a lot of frustration.
There's probably only 50% of the 10% of profitable traders that truly make money consistently to be a semi-professional bedroom trader. Some of us either become part of the 10% ourselves or lose all of our money.
I agree with what was said about the majority of us being among the 10% and I believe the reason is that crypto traders are involved trader trading against the rich and smartest people in the world. This is why I placed a high priority on the crypto I choose to deal with, the type of trading choose, and the trading platform I use since the market is full of ups and downs. The best practice will always be going for things that already minimize the chance of making losses.
Another thing I do is that I don't day trade and I guess it is because I see trading as gambling.
Trading as gambling? It would really just that matter on how you do treat it up on the first place, because if you do have that kind of mindset on which trading is gambling then this is something on what you are currently
doing. There are people who do changed up their lives because of trading on which they could having that another source of income aside from their main jobs. Yes, its not that easy but its not something that impossible
or simply it can be attained and it would really be just that basing on how well you do make out your own trades and this is something that would really differ into each trader because not all would really be
successful into this field but doesnt mean that you wont really be trying it out. Someones success will really be determined on how well they do deal up with things and get engaged into it.
On trading, you would really be able to witness all the possible scenarios that you could really be able to encounter. Your instinct and common sense would really be telling you
that you should really be that needing to adjust and adapt accordingly for you to be able to sustain on the things that you are currently dealing with.
It is really just that usual or casual stuff that you would be needing to do.
