I don't have much experience about loss but there was a time I was trading and following a set up by one trader, the chart was bearish, even a common trader will know that the market was signaling downward way but all of sudden, the market pump and results in loss that gave me negative pnl, i wasn't happy throughout the day because I feel it was manipulated. However, I learn something that day about crypto trading, it's always better to be bullish all the time than bearish unless something bad is actually affecting the crypto market.
You said it is always better to be bullish that's the lesson you learned in the crypto market. I know that the crypto market has many dynamics but I have not come in terms with the point you mention Can you elaborate on this point?
Huppercase seems to be talking about his trading experience, but based on his description I think he is a futures trader. Futures trading is higher risk than spot trading if you don't have a good strategy and risk management. In fact, it is very easy for you to get liquidated if you are too greedy, so futures trading is not recommended.
Try spot trading to minimize risk, but only for assets that have good potential over the long term.
I agree with what you said, it is much better to trade spot to minimize risk, especially with minimal knowledge. I think it is important for us to be able to avoid big losses or long financial cycles.
In my opinion, the most important thing to overcome losses or minimize risks in trading is to control oneself from greed.
