Do professional traders lose money?

[bayu7adi]

It's a well-known fact that most day traders or CFD traders lose money. In the UK, platforms offering CFD trading have to display the percentage of people losing money by trading on their platform, usually around 70%-80%.

Daytraders or any type of traders are possible to lose money. However, the percentage of losing money should be low, they mist rarely got a lose. If they often get a lose, people won't call them professional. 

It seems cruel, but it's true as @alltalk said... a trader's professional status should be recognized by other people, not admitting personally that he is a professional. We can easily say what we are like, but from other people's perspective it is who we really know about whether we are professional or not. Because other people's views can be more objective.

In my opinion, the data provided by @pawel777 seems to be the data as a whole, between new traders and professional traders... it is natural that this happens, considering that professional traders are very few in number and they are also rarely seen in public. Maybe for reasons of their safety and security too, truly professional traders prefer to be ordinary people when appearing in public. Meanwhile, many new people claim to be reliable traders, even though they contribute to the percentage of people who lose in the 70% to 80% data.

Feeling that he is reliable by studying technical analysis, even though it will not be a guarantee.
70%-80% are indeed dominated by novice traders who claim to be professionals, even though they are people who continue to lose.

But they did not tell the public how much they lost, and only the profits were shared.

In fact, I also see that professional traders tend to shut themselves off from being known by others.
They are more introverted and don't want anyone to know that they are becoming a professional.

There will definitely always be an opportunity for us to start a good entry, it's just that it requires patience because the analysis we will carry out won't take a while. In the end we will also find the right time to make a profit.

Basically we have the same goal, but our methods may be slightly different. That is a form of strategy that we have and that is what we must have as traders. Continuing to learn is also one of the keys to achieving success.

Yes, the market itself is benevolent and will always give us a good entry always, I am a person who when is in trading always sees better his ways of doing things and one of those is to always assign in a very measured way the decision to put money in trading, for me it is very important to always assign the money that I am willing to lose, if I am not clear with that, then I would not be able to trade, for me that is the most important thing, I am one of the people who will always say that for everything you have to be cautious, in trading the most important thing is Always the money , that is why you have to take good care of it.

We must always be careful and alert in any matter, especially in matters directly related to our finances. We know that whenever we talk about money, it is a very sensitive matter.

We must be able to manage risks so that we don't get caught in big losses. Because after all, losses in trading are something that is certain, we can't always expect profits without experiencing losses, right?

Yes we should be careful in all those activities where there is an involvement of money because we earn money with great efforts so we should not be too careless that all our efforts become useless. In life we cannot live a life without experiencing any difficulty but it is our responsibility to search about the elimination of those difficulties which come in our way of success.

 Similar is with trading where our money is always at risk so don't think that if you have fully acknowledged with trading then your way of success will have no hurdles but definitely at certain days you will be in loss as the market cannot be friendly always.

So that's it, when we feel we understand trading, it doesn't mean we will never experience losses. This will cause problems when we are satisfied with what we know, because maybe that will reduce our focus.

Don't be quickly satisfied with what we have, whatever it is, including the knowledge it contains. Because the more satisfied we feel, the more likely it will make us underestimate something that we shouldn't do.

You are absolutely right, in fact we are Perosnque, at least when I lose I learn a lot more and of course I analyze each of those losses and I always know why I lose, of course when I win I also analyze why and sometimes I realize that it was just luck, and that is something I do not like, I always like to trade and win because I was truly right in my analysis and not because of a simple fact of luck, that does not convince me, because if I want to do this forever I must do it well and not because of luck, because luck comes a time where it ends, now if I do things and I have a touch of luck, well that is something else.

Well, we really have to be able to learn from every loss we experience when trading, when we are willing to learn and find out where our mistakes are, then we are sure we will be able to become better traders in the future.

Everyone has made mistakes and we have to look at it from a perspective that we can make things better, namely continuous learning, whether it's learning from mistakes or other things that make us better prepared.

Yes our complete understanding and complete knowledge does not necessarily mean that we will win all the time and those who think that they will not experience any loss will put themselves in trouble because after loss they will not be able to tolerate such situations. I think a wide person will be ready for each and every scenario because without planning we can face more difficulties in future.

In case of getting knowledge satisfaction will make us lazy and we will not be able to achieve further knowledge because we will be in thoughts that the obtained knowledge is enough. Actually knowledge never gets completed and we cannot get what we want if our focus on knowledge gets reduced.

[UNIVERSE]

Well, we really have to be able to learn from every loss we experience when trading, when we are willing to learn and find out where our mistakes are, then we are sure we will be able to become better traders in the future.

Of course, it is needed to take a lesson from every mistake. It is important to avoid doing the same mistake. If we don't take a lesson, we may doing the same mistake in the future. Sure, we must be better traders after we evaluate the mistakes and we take the lesson. This can be very useful knowledge, a lesson from the real experience.

Everyone has made mistakes and we have to look at it from a perspective that we can make things better, namely continuous learning, whether it's learning from mistakes or other things that make us better prepared.

Yes, no one is perfect, every trader must have a chance to get losses. However, we don't do the same mistakes in the future if we want to be better traders. After we do a mistake, we must get the knowledge to deal with the same problem in the future. So when we experience the same problem, we can easily handle the problem.

That's right, almost all traders have experienced losses because the crypto market is very volatile.   No one can predict crypto accurately.   And we don't have to trust the signals shared by professional traders, because nothing guarantees that we will win.   I suggest studying and doing your own analysis.   Because it will make our skills sharper in analyzing the market.

Yup, I strongly oppose the signals shared by the TG groups and paid subscriptions to these groups, Always be careful guys from such people who claim anything about their signals. There's an exception for Signal in my view to want to study competitive analysis like you've already done an analysis and you've found a similar signal to your analysis in order to check the efficiency level you can check signals and compare it with your own analysis it will help you in adopting different strategies to sharpen your analysis skills.

So, this is something that is very important for us to understand, that there are no perfect traders who never experience losses, all traders experience this, including professional traders.

We just need to learn more so that we don't fall into the same hole. I believe we can be better as long as we are willing to learn to correct the mistakes we have made in the past. Experience will be very valuable for a trader.

Do professional And experienced traders lose money share your opinion on this

It doesn't matter if you are a professional trader or not, everyone loses money in trading it just differs for different people the amount of money they can lose to trading and that is where professionalism comes to play. As a professional trader, you can minimize your loss better and take maximum profit while trading than a newbie that just comes into the space. No one is perfect and the word perfection does not exist in trading. Everyone loses money and those loses are meant to guide you in your subsequent trade and to understand the market better.

Yes, no one is perfect in the trading world. But those who can leverage their skills can be more profitable than a newcomer. And skill is not built by itself, of course the trader has to learn through losses first and it is not that any successful trader is not losing. I think the trading process is going to be where someone will gain and someone will suffer. But those with more experience and skills will be able to make relatively more profit.

Yes no one can ever be perfect.  Because if you can't generate new ideas constantly, you will fall behind with the technology updates. Those who always strive to learn or discover new things can always do well. Market conditions are constantly changing. You can do well in trading only if you have to keep the market under your control by adopting new strategies. Trading is not an easy thing.  It is very difficult so to do well here you have to be smart and constantly upgrade yourself.
