I am a newbie, I just want to ask how exactly are you losing your money in trading? Can anybody explain how you lose your money in trading? Correct me if I'm wrong I just think that when you buy high but you sell it in low price I think you lose, right? What if you you buy it at a higher price then the price falls on the next days or week will you loss something? What if you'll just hold for it and wait for the price to bounce back? Thanks for your opinions! ☺️

What you have is paper loss if you don't touch your coin and just wait for it to rise again. Many people are experiencing it now because of the recent market correction. You have a choice of either selling it at a loss in which case you will have an actual loss or you just buy more so that you average down and the third one which most of the people are doing is just hold on their coins until it goes back up again. If you sell your coin then you have a choice of buying it again at a lower price so you might be able to gain back what you lose. It would depend on your strategy.

If you sell in a lowest price that means your gonna lost in trading so better to hold hold hold it, so if the price encrease you can earn and never lost in trading.

haha... what's happen if you are wait few months and it still falls down while other coins rise? the most important problem is that you can not be patient enough to wait and how can you know your coin will recover instead of going down?

I think you have already understood the main things of trading. Buy low and sell high. The real problem is when the price dives perhaps even 90% lower than when you bought (happened to me more than once). Then sometimes you may have to hold for years before it recovers. (happened to me) But in the end perhaps it will and you will have lost nothing , except a lot of time and opportunities.

If you know math you wouldnt struggle in this . But if you do so you maybe confused about the numbers appearing in your screen. Youll loss in the very beginning and thats normal the numbers you input to invest is not absolute so you wont get the direct numbers of you investment. Heres what you gotta do record the very balance youve got and wait until it profit about 10% or more then sell.

I prefer long term trading so i bought some coin depend on the fundamental each coin. At the moment all my digital asset down nearly 50% so iam in big loss but in the long term iam sure i will make big profit. Fluktuasion of crypto so high so its normal we are in loss sometimes but with patient we can make profit later.

The market is going down very deep and I think investors should make a right decision at this moment. If your coin is really good you should not sell it then you have to regret your decision, I still hold my altcoin even though it is 50% off. I was pretty nervous but I am confident that the market will recover in the next few days.

it is normal to have a loss in trading, it makes us learn more in trading and we could add another strategy to recover our loss. sometimes, cut loss a good solution for us if we have analyzed that the coins will go down too deep. but if there is a chance for the price to go up, then we could still hold on while we could buy again. actually, if we are learned from our losses, we could get much information about the mistake we are made before so we can do better analyze in the future.

Many losses in the course of trading are not planned. Sometimes you will just find out that you are already in loss. Trading activities should not be left to chance, you should document every moves of yours whike you trade. If you sell below entry price you are at loss and sometimes it is better to cut your losses than to wait for imaginary price recovery!

At first I was very confused about your post, but after looking at your nick everything became clear

Short answer: you lose money in trading when after 2 trades (1st - buy , 2nd - sell) you have less money than before.
By less I mean if you had 4$ before trading and after 2 trades you have 3$ it means 4-3=1. So you have lost 1$, now you only have 3$ which is < (smaller) than 4$ you had before. This is what usually is called a loss.

P.S. You not in loss until you sell, so holding for price to go up it's the right decision.

I think thw definition of lossing in trading is what your talking about, well we buy with hight and sell when it down. But, if you cchoose to hold for a while and wait for price up again, for me you have loss to. In this condition, you certainly not loss your token, but you lossing some time to wait the prise will up. Be patient.

This is something that troubles allot of newbies as to what makes people lose when the selling is always un their own hands and they can always sell when the price is higher than what they bought for. Here comes the concept of speculation. Speculation is in simple terms the buying or selling of holdings simply based on what one preducst by themselves seeing current market rise and dip.

When a holder sees theirs a sudden drop in price, and if he ends up speculating it as a potential warning that big dip is on its way, or further dips might occur and finally in panic he sells of his holdings even when the price is below his buying price thinking that less loss is better than more.
This way he made a loss which is less for the holder but at the end of the day it is loss only. Such speculations lead to panic selling and buying creating further ups and lows in pricing.

There's nothing cunning in this. Lose when you sell cheaper than bought. Or when you trade with margin. There you can lose even without making a reverse transaction. Plus the fees on the commission.

I don't think you will ever see a trader that has not encountered a loss during their trading career. So its natural, that is how trading works when you lose someone will surely win and vice versa.

Yeah. it's an experience that every trader have to deal with loss in trading. The important thing is how you bounce back from that loss.

You're 100% correct mate. Buying at high price, selling at low price or if the coin crash after buying is loosing but the crypto currency trading lost can be amend if the coin didn't crash which why it good to buy coin which is available on varieties of exchange with good historical data.

Loss in trade is inevitable which should be taken calmly. Simply do not need to opt for one coin and trade several. This will make it possible to reduce the risk of large losses.

Yes this way is really good. This is called making portfolio of altcoins and I like tha way too. It’s always good to see the market going up and down and so far I have seen that if you portfolio then we could be lucky enough to see one of the coin going upwards and returning us all the money that we invested. This makes other coins as equivalent as to break even point. Thus fro there onwards we can hold these coins as long as we can wait and only sell when they are high enough.

as usual, you have to encounter many sacrifices to get the benefits or profit that you want. I did not see any trader who did not suffered from loss they are one of the witnesses that you cannot avoid to loss but you can recover it again by waiting for the right moment

Part of trading is losing your money because even the successful trader already experienced it. Trading is a game and anytime you might get win or lose. I think it is better for you to read on how to be a good trader in the future or read some article about the strategies in order to avoid losing of huge amount of money. However, the positive thing about trading is that it is more profitable and you can earn a big amount of money in just a day.

Right now, the majority of Crypto trading is speculative, and while use cases for the technology are on the increase, it is still speculative. What this means is, while investing in Crypto can present investors with a great opportunity to make money, not everyone will.
By trading Crypto, there is no guarantee you will make money. This is a highly volatile market, which, while sharing the characteristics of the stock market, is decentralised, unregulated, subject to manipulation and highly unstable. Crypto is not a get rich quick scheme. If too many people think it is, the prices will go up too quick and the bubble will eventually burst.

As such, if you get involved, the golden rule is not to invest any more than you can afford to lose. If you have followed this rule then all your investments should be considered long-term, and by long-term, I mean 3–5 years minimum. Why? Simply because the longest bear run we have experienced is two years. Those who invested in Bitcoin in December ’13 and didn’t panic sell during the crash had to wait until early ’17 to be back in profit. Over three years. A bear market can hit us at any point and if it does then the longest we have experienced is two years and this is our benchmark.
