Do professional traders lose money?

[alltalk]

Professional traders will also experience defeat but continue trading because they learn from the experience and don't repeat it again. Meanwhile, for beginners, there will be a special trauma and they may not trade again. That's the difference I usually observe.

Sure, someone never becomes a professional trader if he stops immediately when he lose money. He must continue and try to learn from the losses. Learning from the losses will make them to have experience and knowledge, that's make him to stronger and smarter in trading. He will grow to be an experienced trader if he survives for a long time. This is actually what the professional has done. Well, for some beginners, they will stop when they get losses because they don't understand it well. And they mustn't try to learn from the losses and the mistake they ever made.

It is unknown when cryptocurrency will be bullish or bearish. No one knows when an investor will be profitable. So there is always an increase in risk. But for a professional and experienced person it is possible to make profit by trading. There are many experienced traders who cannot guarantee that they can profit from trading. However, it is not always the case that the trader will be able to make a profit. There are many people who make losses while trading. Even if their experience and knowledge are sufficient, the same situation occurs. Both professionals and non-professionals can make profit or loss but professionals have more chances of making profit than others.

Of course, professional traders gain more profits than losses in trading, because they can manage losses by getting bigger wins. Crypto is unpredictable, it is reality. But a professional trader can predict market movements.

Professional traders can predict market movement as well as they have the ability to choose a better coin and also they don't choose any coin without studying about it. Professional traders completely focus on trading and they study about the market, its condition and features day and night.

They also make mistakes but their mistakes are not about choosing the wrong coins but their mistakes is that they assume the market in one state and market changes in the opposite direction to their expectations.

There's no one on this market could be able to predict market movement not unless if you are one of those price manipulators or to those intitutions or whales who does have the ability on moving out the market in throwing out some sentiments on which they do really have the upperhand but if you are someone whose really that just an average trader then there's no way that you could really be able to predict on where the market would really be that going on which it is really just that these professionals would be having always that edge on what are the things that they would really be needing to do in compared into those newbies or not really that much old within this market in talks about trading.

When it comes to investing or trading, the difference between a skilled person and an unskilled person is that a skilled person will analyze the market a lot and then decide to invest or trade, while an unskilled person will never think about when they are investing or what will happen next. An unskilled person will have much more money risk while a skilled person will have much less risk amount but both can result in money loss. Since nothing about the market is definitely known in advance, we have to trade with probability.

Here is just asking if a professional traders gives money loss. We all know that a professional trader will do better in his trading than a new trader and his chances of profit are more but even if there is a chance of profit there is no chance to say that a professional trader trades with absolute certainty. He may be a professional trader but no matter how much knowledge he has about trading he tries his best to look at the market to see where the market will go or where the market has gone. So it must be accepted by us that a professional trader can definitely lose money by trading.

Yes, that's right, a professional trader will definitely be better at taking action than a beginner. And of course this will have the effect that a professional will be less likely to lose money in crypto trading than a beginner. 
But this doesn't mean they never lose, all crypto traders must have lost in their trading in the crypto market.

Just recently had a friend lost on ETH long, he did made a lot of money from trading, he did lose a lot of money from trading as well. Things are not that clear black/white in the real world, just because you think that things will do fine, you are not going to get that. Sometimes you get good results, sometimes you get terrible results, you are not going to be all that enticing when you are dealing with all of this. I personally believe that we should consider professional traders as humans just like all of us and not put them on some pedestal above everyone else, they are good, but of course they make mistakes as well.

Of course it would be understandable that professional traders would really be having the edge since they are far more experienced compared into those who are just that new on which it would really be that understandable on this case on which there would really be having that kind of advantage but of course on the moment that you are still that newbie but gaining up experience overtime then you would really be that become veteran and professional. Speaking about losing money? This is inevitable and this is something which cant be avoided no matter how good
you are as a trader. What matter most on here is that you do know on what are the things that you should gonna do.

You should have told us how your friend lost money in ethereum long position. I think every serious traders make use of stop loss to trigger any unwarranted loss or did your friend mismanaged leverage and think he can make money after ethereum ETF was announced. I'm thinking the latter is the cause because I remember when it was announced that Ethereum ETF has 75% chance of approval and that set in 18% profit.

I just wish traders can stop chasing high leverage trading, you will likely lost money trading futures than making money from it unless you get the unusual luck.

Current market condition of cryptocurrency difficult for predicting and I don't sure with professional trader never loss or out from their predicting with bitcoin or altcoin price. I think indeed have reach professional label in trader always have experience loss their money but smart with money management in trading by using stop loss when outside of prediction.
I think professional trader understand well when market controlling by whales with price suddenly down or pump and they will use stop loss if price of bitcoin or altcoin decreasing drastically.
Just smart way with professional trader and did right moment without doubt to stop loss after out controlling of market condition, they will get faster recovery after getting loss.

I believe that the easiest way to distinguish a professional investor from an amateur is that they know how to manage their investments wisely. They don't try to beat the market, they use the simplest technical analysis and trading methods, they often make wrong decisions but have small losses, they have few right decisions but have large profits. In the long run, we see their balance grow steadily and trading becomes their profession.

What impresses me most about them is that they can effectively manage their emotions and psychology, not letting greed or fear of missing out influence their decisions. They may have losses in the short term but will still have profits in the long term thanks to their experience and high discipline.

Cryptocurrency is not a stable currency trading like the fiat currency so the prediction is also uncertainty and that the same way that the price is unclear, traders also lose. In trading both experts and beginners lose their trading. And nobody is perfect. But experts gain more.
