For beginners, it's like hell... all beginners will feel some mistakes that make them lose... moreover, the impact will be worse when there is no mentor to accompany them.. crypto trading really requires a strong mentality, because I see many beginners who come with the aim of making money quickly... even though it's not as easy as imagined... that's what makes many beginners give up when they are still early in the crypto world...
Learning trading must be done slowly and gradually... it also requires support from the environment in order to survive and continue to gain valuable experience... the more experience you have, the more the knowledge of a beginner will develop... patience is the key.
Well, i am still elaborating on this issue of crypto losses on an economic perspective, and far as crypto trading is concerned, a trader on the spot market options may not count losses except he closes his position for fear of total market crashes. Ordinarily, a spot traders will not conclude to have lost a trader, except he must have closed his trade below is entry positions.
When you talk about trading losses, spot traders should have been characterized with patience, but except they are not patience, they will suffer losses. Other trading options, like margin, future can easily conclude to has lost a trader especially if prices dump below their entry positions, and to avoid a total losses outcome, they can trade with a "STOP LOSES" features, or choose to close their positions with complete losses depending on conditions of the market.
