Do professional traders lose money?

[Rubel007]

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.

It is the nature of crypto coins to have unstable price. But we know there is a cycle of bearish and bullish. Although we don't know the exact price to achieve, but we know what the trend to happen at least. Now, it is in bullish season, the price tends to increase. I think it is clear that we have green market in 2024-2025. But we don't know when the bullish season ends, no one knows it. Even the experts, can't predict it for sure. 

No one can predict bullish or bearish season. If it could be guessed, they would be among the richest. No guess can give 100% certainty but depending on the guess or assumption the market moves. An assumption we often discuss about Bitcoin price is that Bitcoin will rise to $100k  soon. Although there is no basis when this will happen or if it will happen at all. However, it can be assumed that as the demand for Bitcoin increases, the price will continue to increase as well. Although the price of Bitcoin is estimated at $100k, its price will definitely increase. Markets cannot run without speculation.

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.

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.

As time goes by, everything will definitely become easier for crypto traders.  Experience will be a very valuable teacher, and when we lose it will also train our mentality. 
Starting from beginner traders, if we are serious about studying it then we will become professional traders. 
So it will be easier for us to make choices and what we should do.

Yes, becoming a professional trader takes time and experience, as you said, over time, as a beginner, you will become a professional if you are willing to learn. In learning we will also experience failure and loss. and learn from those failures and losses

At the beginning everyone is a newbie and everyone faces difficulties because no one has knowledge about trading and investment by birth as it is not an inheritance trait but the successful person is who does not remain in just one stage but improves his skills and knowledge as the time goes.

We will surely win and lose because in life one cannot be successful always but it is important to reduce your mistakes to increase your earning. Experienced people who are working for years are also losing but they don't give up and learn the ideas to apply for not making the same mistakes again.

For beginners, it takes time to learn and gain experience.  Learning from mistakes and losses allows them to minimize losses in the past.  Even though I have been trading for a long time, I am neither an expert nor a professional trader.  Because I don't focus there, I only trade occasionally when I see the market is starting to improve and is good for trading.

This is the path that is least easy to take. That is learning from failure. Because most beginners give up after failure. but those who are currently professional traders are those who do not give up when they experience failure and instead use failure as a valuable lesson. And it is true that experience is the best teacher in learning anything. but to gain experience it requires a lot of sacrifice. Be it time or money.

Not really that easy to take but rather this could really be the only way to make yourself to be successsful on which it isnt really just that limited into this trading field but also in other
things that you might be able to encounter or engage as well on which risks would really be always there. Do professionals lose money? of course they do. There's no such thing about being perfect trader or investor. You would really be able to experience loses but the thing here is that those people who are experience could really be able to make out adjustments
on which they would really be basing up into their own experience on which this is really that an advantage.

There is no easy way to be profitable in trading. All successful traders experience loses and it is still true even today. You should always learn from your trades particularly those losing ones because you only have to find out the mistake that you have done before you enter a trade. From time to time, if you can stick to your plan and apply every thing that you've learned from your mistake you will become profitable. I don't call it a failure if you lose, I only say it's a failure if you quit.

Now, about those $100k BTC dreams? Who knows, right? It's all speculation at this point. But hey, where there's demand, there's usually a price surge. That much we can count on.

I’ve been trading cryptocurrencies this uear and i’m wondering, do cryptocurrency exchanges send rеports of my trading activity to the IRS? I need to make sure I’m prepared fоr tax harden and comply with all the requirеments.

That's right, and don't think that professional traders never experience losses or lose money. They will still feel losses because the market is very volatile so what we predict will not always be correct.

However, their mentality has been formed, so when they lose money they will remain calm and try to re-enter the market. That mentality is what ultimately differentiates between beginners and professional traders.

Being a "professional" trader doesn't guarantee you any profits, that's not how the trading world works. There is an old saying that goes "The world's greatest swordsman is not afraid of the world's second best swordsman, he is afraid of the amateur because the amateur doesn't know what he should do, which makes him dangerous". A professional trader knows what to do, and what he should be doing, but could end up being wrong with one big piece of news, whereas a newbie could end up doing the wrong thing but because of that sudden news ends up making a profit. This doesn't mean newbies are better, of course, professional ones are better, it just means they lose as well.

Exactly. Everyone must start their investment as a beginner. Sure, there must be a lot of obstacles at that time because we have lack of knowledge and experience. But we keep learning and we take lessons from the mistakes, so we can be experienced traders with good knowledge. It shouldn't be easy to be professional traders, there must be hard times to be faced. Losses is just one of the part of the obstacles, they must experience it, too.

We will surely win and lose because in life one cannot be successful always but it is important to reduce your mistakes to increase your earning. Experienced people who are working for years are also losing but they don't give up and learn the ideas to apply for not making the same mistakes again.

Indeed. In trading, we must take profits or get losses. These are the results to get in trading. If we do more trading, we probably experience more profits and losses as well. However, as time goes, we must understand to optimize the chance for gaining profits because we already have good knowledge and we have a lot of experience. At the end of the day, we can be professional traders when we already know the effective ways in trading. This won't be achieved instantly, we need a long process to be a professional one.

Yep...No one plans to lose continuously, so all traders' plans are to make constant profits. In fact, we can plan well at any time, but luck always plays a role at the end of the struggle, if we are lucky we will get a profit, if we are not lucky then losses will definitely come. A professional will also experience losses, but of course at a lower rate than a novice trader.

As you said, trading still requires experience in order to survive and make decisions that have a greater chance of winning with each execution.

Well, that's the kind of mentality you have when you lose , but I've Read this in Many books , especially those by Jesse Livermore I don't know if you've read it somewhere, but it's one of the things that makes the most sense when it comes to investing, trading , and everything that has to do with making the best decisions. I could say that I've learned this little by little, knowing how to control myself, but there's one thing that's very true if we make mistakes in the market, there are Always good entries and new opportunities to come. And that's something that we'll always see and realize can be achieved. You just have to be calm and Patient.
