Accepting this reality of trading has helped me a lot.

After many years of experience, I realized that losses are part of the proccess trading. Losses happen to the best traders. The best traders I know do not have a 100% win rate.

When I take a loss, I sit down in order to:
a) review the trade
b) learn from my loss

What do you do when you take a loss?

Yes, it might be part of the learning process, but still if you have been here for at least a year or two, you might have learn something and so you don't repeat that kind of mistakes again because if you do, then it's time to think of another job.

Yeah, you can write it down and see where your mistakes it, and it's a good practice as down the line your memory might fail and so you might doubt your next decision.

And we really need to learn from our mistakes, and that's why it is very important to write it down so that you can review and identify those critical errors you did.

[Husires]

Loss is part of trading and learning from it does not mean learning how to avoid it, but rather learning how to turn loss into something from which you can make profits and diversify your investments so that you will not be affected if you lose a pair or lose a bet in one of your trading pairs.

Loss is part of risk management and based on it, you will determine the level of risk. High risk means a higher probability of loss and vice versa.

The avoidance of lost can not totally achieved though we could learn from part experiences of it but it is most pointed at optimizing your trading scales to discover new badges which you can venture on to recover looses from the other way round just mentioned "diversification" and also timing to pull the trigger analytically without FOMO.

If you intend to avoid loss, then you are not a trader. The most important thing in trading, besides learning, skill, technical analysis, and psychological control, is risk management. Without risk, there will be no profits, and risk is linked to loss, so loss is part of the profit for a good trader and is the end point for a bad trader.

[Jamal Aezaz]

Losses are normal in trading and everyone will lose in trading but remember that if your wins are more than your loss then you are a perfect trader because you are getting profit from trading which everyone cannot get.

Another thing is that you are trying to find out the reason for your loss then a time will come when your loss will be minimum and that time you will be an expert trader but learning all about trading is not easy and long time is required to attain a successful position in trading.

I believe that no one can achieve a 100% win-rate, and in reality, the win-rate is not a crucial factor in determining a trader's success and profitability. A trader with a 30% win-rate but effective risk management, who earns substantial profits on winning trades and minimizes losses on losing trades, can still achieve consistent gains.

I am not an intraday trader; I only employ DCA during market accumulation phases and sell when market indicators signal a reversal and the onset of a crypto winter. Consequently, I typically take around 6-10 months after selling my crypto assets to review my trading decisions throughout an entire cycle. I have numerous trades with temporary losses, but I don't dwell on them, I am confident that they will yield profits during the bull run. My focus lies in analyzing projects and price charts to make investment decisions with my remaining capital to maximize returns.

Yeah, there are no profitable traders that say to themselves they have 100% win rate. Even with 50% win rate can make you profitable if your risk to reward ratio is 1:2 or 1:3. Now, if we don't know how to handle losses surely your win rate will not reach 50%. Most traders will only trade once or twice per day, if they lose they will come back tomorrow. There is no good benefits in revenge trading, it will only damage more our emotions so we should avoid it.

Someone claims that they are on 100% win rate then its just BS or simply its a scam. No one on this world would really be able to have such profitability on which we know
that dealing up with speculative market will really be needing up to deal with something speculative approach on which we know that no one on this world would be having that
100% precision when it comes to this aspect. This is why becoming successful with trading will really be that varying on how well someone would really be making
up their decisions in between entries and exits.

Claiming a 100% win rate on trades is indeed worth suspecting.
Because the market is very volatile and can be influenced by various factors that are quite difficult to predict perfectly.

There is no guarantee of a trading strategy or system that provides continuous winnings.
Such claims are often used by individuals or a company that has no responsibility to attract potential investors or clients with unrealistic promises of profits, so it will only harm the investor.

[sampoerna]

What do you do when you take a loss?

Not much to do, just sit down and let the people work.
There is no perfect trader, there is no trader who never loses and always wins 100%, it seems like that. Of course, the best trader is when a trader experiences far more profits taking on a high scale than losses. This is of course again related to the profits or earnings generated when holding a trading position. Because trading is not an easy thing to do, even for professional traders. They can indeed analyze, but their analysis is not always 100% accurate and correct, there are several things that make markets sometimes run not according to predictions. And I'm sure this has been experienced by professional traders.

But at least, when we are still on the journey to becoming a trader, we have to prepare optimally, so that we can earn the gains as optimally as we can. Beforehand there will definitely be an evaluation of the trading strategy and also preparing absolutely everything including mentality, ability, analysis, and also knowledge preparation.

Like night to the day, there is no avoiding losses just managing them to a profitable level can be the right thing to do. I am not a good trader myself but I really understand the fact than in trading we can gain profits or we can incur losses what is important is that we learned our lessons so that on the next run we can be winners. Successful and rich traders are making losses and profits their best friends...they know them well and they know what to do to avoid the blackeye. Trading is not an easy stuff and one must learn the necessary skills otherwise things can turn out to be tragic.

I just shared the same advice to another member that we as traders should accept our mistakes instead of finding the mistakes in others and blaming others for the losses we made due to bad knowledge. When I make a loss I first regret on my choice and feel like why did I even took this thread and sometimes it's like how come I did not see it coming. Sometimes it's just impossible to predict the market's behavior you think it will be bullish and it go down, you think it is bearish it will go up.

We should know that loss is permanent and we are to make it, we just need to minimize it and maximize our profit. To minimize it we can adopt several risk mitigation techniques for example investing with funds we don't fear to lose it will give some relief to our minds and don't overtrade, set some profit target and when it's completed not be greedy to make more profit just leave the day and don't trade anymore.

The first is that we must be sad because we have lost money, but that sadness should not make us frustrated. 
Do introspection about what we have done so that we experience losses, maybe we are in a hurry or impatient. And make it your next experience and teacher in crypto trading. 
What is certain is that in crypto trading, we will not be able to avoid 100% of losses.  So losses in crypto trading are normal.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

     -     If we lose in trading, it is a signal that we should improve the strategy we are using and the trading activity we are doing. In short, through our losses, we are also learning so that we can further improve our skills in trading. in this field.

The more mistakes we make, the more we learn as well, but don't make mistakes over and over again because that's another matter. If there are different mistakes, it's okay because we can really learn from them.

There was some research a few years ago and the conclusion is that 95% of those who try crypto trading end up losing everything or giving up because they don't make enough profit compared to the time they spend trading. I won't say that there aren't some people who are extremely talented and who manage to "read" the market better than most others, but there are really few of them.

Being 100% successful in trading would mean that someone has insight into the future, and until they invent a practical time travel machine, we can dismiss that possibility

What do you do when you take a loss?

In loss, you definitely lose your money, but you can gain valuable experiences that help you in other trades. So, we don't need to feel hurt and sad. Yeah, I also take some steps after losing my trade. The first step I take is to stop trading for that day because my mind is distracted from that trade, and I can't focus. That's why I stop trading for that day. The second step is to reconsider that trade again, point out where I made a mistake, and note it down on paper. The next day, that piece of paper helps remind me of my mistakes, and I can trade more carefully.

I share the same idea that losses are permanent and each one of us as traders has to face it and it is one of the reasons that most of traders become sadists and cold-hearted. Because facing losses again and again and big losses made them bear the small losses. So yeah loss is really a part of life, and besides reviewing the trades and learning from it.

We should understand the cause of the dump and realize how we did not know about it. Most of the losses traders make from trading is due to their own knowledge. I mean if they knew more they would be making more profit but with lesser knowledge comes more loss. Trading is based on Knowledge and some luck.
