Market may be volatile but the frequency are I think can also depend on the coin that we choose. As you said, losses are always there, therefore don't say that we can avoid it. The first one that you said which is to reduce the loss is already okay.

Yes, no one wants to lose continuously, that sucks. I'd rather donate my money to the charity than lose it for nothing. I know, we can gain an experience but it's useless if we are not improving. In trading, consistent profits for a long period of time is not possible but it's fine, as our losses in some days can still be compensated by our profitable days. Traders who are like this are already pro or skillful but if they can learn more and improve more, why not?
even making our win more than our losses is such a feat in trading sometime it really requires adequacy and proficiency in both resources and skills in observing the market.
but the fact that the market always dynamically change, basically can't be too fixated on a certain book about knowledge in trading mean that our win and lose rate would be inconsistent as well so really can't be sure whether our win will be more than our losses.
honestly this is one thing that make me devoted investors instead of trader, because it just make sense, wait it out, and it will rise.
with trading not so much, you can be trapped in a bearish, losing 80% of your traded capital, and make decision whether to become "investor" or just cut loss.

Of course if we can make our profits much greater than the losses for a week or a month in calculations for example then obviously it is quite an achievement, you have been able to reduce the level of risk to be smaller and after that all that is needed is to remain consistent. But to be able to achieve such a position is not easy and for some people it is very difficult, there are quite a lot of factors that hinder, among them as you said, they must have proficiency and skill in observing the market and also of course with sufficient knowledge.

The fact is that it is very difficult, the fact is that even if you spend all day reading books in terms of learning but still when you really plunge into the market then maybe only a few percent of the knowledge that you can use there from reading the book. That's because the nature of the market is always changing - changing and of course this is a difficulty for every trader in my opinion. Not infrequently also some of those who can be said to be quite advanced traders can still be fooled when entering the market, they bring strategy A but apply it in a market that is B, of course the results will not match expectations. Of course everyone has their own choices, and you may be one who prefers to be an investor rather than a trader, because maybe you have seen that the profession as a trader is too difficult and complicated. Everyone has their own perspective in seeing things and maybe they will definitely choose one of these two professions, investor or trader? yes you know which one is better for yourself.
