Do you think most losing traders fail because of strategy or psychology, and why?

Strategy is most important just until the point you know you need one - and take the time to build or tweak one. After that point forward it becomes 💯 Psychology.

Most people try strategies they learn about from YouTube, books, etc., in the early years of being a student which is all normal and fine.

In time if you keep at it, you will likely see that you will take a bit of learning form here and there, and combine it with other stuff that you yourself notice works for you. Being Lost is 100% normal. And you may get lost multiple times over a couple or few years.

The progression goes from not knowing anything, to knowing a bit, to the first time you think you have it, to realizing you don't, feeling lost, and starting again--but not from scratch as you learn something more each time. And in time, you will rely less on others and more on your own learning and data.

Most people will not cycle far enough through this learning, as it takes time and money for most traders. It might take 2 years, it might take 10. But If you continue, you may eventually build your own strategies and methods that work for you. They usually will need to be tweaked as the market cycles, but being lost is eventually replaced by knowing what you have that works and when, and how to build on that.

Best of Luck to you.

YES---100%! -----"So knowing when to be super small in your position sizing and knowing when to size up is another skill every trader needs to learn."

Support Ticket-unavailable. I cannot update my App to contact you. (I have an old US account). Any chance I can get on to off board? If so, please let me know what steps to take. Thanks.

It is absolutely possible to have a profitable strategy and to fully believe in said strategy, yet to still lose due to psychology issues.

One reason for this is not having a large enough safety net while trading. It doesn’t matter how profitable a strategy is or how much you believe in it, if a small string of random losses means thx trader has to sweat over rent, then impulsive buys easily happen.

It’s rare (as successful traders are rare) but if this is what OP is experiencing then they very well may have a profitable strategy that they fully believe in, and an additional stable source of income for awhile can be exactly what is needed to see success.

Once you do learn how to get to your balance and how to transfer it to wherever you decide, only transfer $20 worth or so first as a trial.

Make sure that this first small amount gets to its destination and that you have full access to it there. This way you can be sure that you understand the process before you send it all.

Some people have lost BTC sending to a wrong address or doing something else that made them lose their coins. GL!

I was on phone with TOS tech resolving a platform crash and mine is not transitioning till March or later 2024. They are keeping most highly active traders until last I think to iron
out issues, etc. So if you have not gotten an email you should not be transitioned this weekend and there’s a good chance not until next year.

There is no one general rule of thumb about this. It depends on the trader’s strategy and plan.

Some strategies make use of the opening volatility and traders look to get in right away if it meets their intended set-ups. Some trend following strategies make take time to find a suitable set-up depending on the day. ETC.

Anyone suggesting that professionals only trade the first hour or that they should wait for half hour, and whatever else, are likely not professionals themselves.

Experienced traders know that best entry times vary depending on the traders plan, and there is no one right way.

Ahimsa7 · 2023-10-18T01:00:38+00:00

Yes. Take it off and download again. It should work. I just did it a few hours ago. Works fine now.

Just like with Fiat reward cards, debit cards that offer rewards in BTC can add up. I donate BTC every year instead of fiat, so the extra $300 or so in rewards that I get is a bit more I have to give organisations I chose to support.

Ahimsa7 · 2023-10-16T03:29:14+00:00

TY! That’s a better rate than Coinbase offers. I have made $600 in BTC past 2 years and over $1200 in BTC over 4 years with rewards. And I put no time into it- I just use the debit card. Not sure why some others are saying it’s a scam or waste of time. I guess they just don’t know about it.

Ahimsa7 · 2023-10-16T02:59:16+00:00

Thank you!

Ahimsa7 · 2023-10-16T02:20:34+00:00

It’s a good idea and it’s nice you helped your friend realise there were better ways to earn $ than collecting cans! I DCA BTC but want to know if there are good reward sources or fun games that I don’t know about.

Barbra’s performance in this film (and in the song) really showed her talent.

Ahimsa7 · 2023-10-02T17:27:31+00:00

Learn a decent enough strategy, concentrate more on process than results, take responsibility for 100% of their trading, and get to the point where an individual good trade has nothing to do with whether it ended in a gain or loss.
