Topic: What percentage of traders/investors make/lose money? (Read 296 times)
you lost money because you didn't make a trading decision on your own. instead you listened to others and bought shitcoins that they were telling you to buy. so to answer your question, most probably all of those people who told you to buy those shitcoins have made a profit because those people dumped on you after you bought and you continued to bag hold useless coins that were getting dumped. that is why they suggested them in first place, because THEY wanted to sell those coins so they fooled others into buying it from them.
Probably the 80-20 rule is working in this market as well. Meaning 80 percent of the traders are getting 20 percent of the market gains whereas 20 percent of the traders are getting 80 percent of the gains. You can't have a market where everyone is winning but in a bull market everyone can make money whereas in a bear market everyone can lose money.
The difference is in a bull market buyers/sellers could be divided into "losers who only made 5% and winners who made 50%" so everyone is making money but some traders are making more money.
During a bear market it is more like "losers who lose %50 whereas winners lose only %5", so everyone is losing but some lose less. Hence, you can't actually calculate who wins how much and how many people are making money because in reality sometimes nobody wins.
Interesting thoughts, I mean about 80/20 rule. The difference is in a bull market buyers/sellers could be divided into "losers who only made 5% and winners who made 50%" so everyone is making money but some traders are making more money.
During a bear market it is more like "losers who lose %50 whereas winners lose only %5", so everyone is losing but some lose less. Hence, you can't actually calculate who wins how much and how many people are making money because in reality sometimes nobody wins.
I even didn't try apply this to trading. I should to calculate.
Oh, also let's do SWOT analysis

Trade and investment in crypto-conversions can be compared to playing American Roulette in a casino, where the rules of the game change very often. I think most novice traders lose money.

I've read 95% traders lose money on crypto market because lack of experience and lack of knowledge and no emotions control
The lack of experience and their emotions were not the main reasons for the loss. No one could do anything when the cryptocurrencies you invested in were falling. Most of the traders lost.
According to the statistic, in the zero-sum markets, no more than 1–2 percent of players get a profit from it.
If someone want always be among that 1-2%, he should be very smart, lucky, quickly adaptable, and has some sixth Sense.
Not an easy task, you know..

It all depends on your strategy and the goal you've set with having those coins in your portfolio, add the duration of hodling them. If your investment is short or mostly speculative, you should not hodl that alt more than the period of the pump, there's every possibility of losing money. If your investment is long term, price drops wont really bother you as they're temporarily and you're looking at the long term
To those that say yes there are ppl making money when the market is like this. How are they making money? You mean buy spectracoin at this price and then sell once it hit a set amount? What if it never goes back to those prices? Like those that guy it at the 4.50 mark and 3.25 mark etc and as of now, they are down 90 percent.
A look at your topic answers this question. The first set of people are traders, they're the only ones who can successfully make money in this bears season. Buying at certain prices and hoping it gets higher is speculation and you'll easily get fried in times like this
I too imagine most traders and investors lose money over time, though it's nearly impossible to come up with an exact percentage figure as to how many people lose money in trading with so many people in this world trading cryptocurrency every day and so many exchanges out there. This shouldn't be a massive concern if you're starting to trade, though. It's extremely likely you're going to lose money in your first days of trading due to a basic lack of experience that you can remedy by simply trading more often, but with dedication and practice you'll get better at trading over time like any other activity in life. Persistence is key if you're trying to learn something new.
what percentage of traders are up this year? Are there even 10 percent of traders that are in profit this year due to everything falling down?
One broker said that I will not advertise it. But he said that 90% of traders lose money
for either make/lose money in trading, someone can lose all the money either can also gain several times form the money invested. The multiplication is more for make money which is possible to receive more than double.
For the percentage people who made a decent profit, it could be 60% or up and only 5% made a millions of profit. For the percentage of losers, it could be 99% because everybody loses but not everybody wins.
So i have a list of altcoins on blockfolio program that i use where i put down the coins to watch etc because many posters spoke so great about these coins.
you are making the two huge mistakes which are practically the biggest mistakes anyone can make.
first is listening to random idiots on the internet who are advertising the shitcoins they have been bag holding and want to get rid of.
and second is calling the bags you are bag holding as a "portfolio". this pretty word that they introduced to altcoin bag holders last year is used to mask the fact that they are making a big mistake by holding a lot of shitcoins and lose money in the process. altcoins are not meant to be held more than the duration of their pumps which can be from a couple of hours to a couple of days tops.
It depends upon their own decision, the losses or maybe gaining cannot be measure In percentage because it has a different reason. Same with our life we have a different disicion to some different situation that may come on our way so then I believe that we cannot tell the exact gain or losses.
Looking at overall price trends from multiple timeframes helps. Also looking at fiat vs sat value. There is a 90/90/90 rule for trading as well. ()% of traders lose 90% of funds in the first 90 days. Cost of education for a lot of it

It is not possible to determine the percentage of people that lose money or gain money through cryptocurrency investment and trading. no one is going to tell you.
