In trading the number one enemy is our self emotions, many trader loss because they can't control thier emotions and it really affects thier decision making and sometimes it will become a reason for the big loss, in crypto we cannot be free from different emotions because everytime market condition is changing and it is really a high volatility market, i think experienced had a very big role on decision making, is this a reason why most of the newbie loss is it because they don't have enough of experience?
I fully agree with you, controlling our emotions is one of the hardest things in trading that even after years of experience remains difficult. How many times has my stomach told me to sell my positions now, without any real reasoning behind it. Feelings like greed and fear are a big problem that and can lead to losses if we give in to them. That is why we need to actively control our feelings and live with them. I found that gambling is a great way to get used to dealing with losses. When playing poker there are situations where you play correctly, but still lose due to randomness and bad beats. For example when you hold the two best hands AA or KK, you will try to get as many chips as possible in the middle. And even through you have the highest winning chances there is no guarantee we will actually make money. That was the hardest lesson for me to learn in trading as well. Even though you make the right analysis and decision, when the market is against you there is not much we can do than accept it. Having the mental strength to accept situations that we can't change and don't fall into a black hole is important for any trader.
