Most novice traders hold on to loses and let go of wins.
They trade rather than investing and holding.

They can hold tight when the trend becomes downwards and bearish but they can not hold tight when a market starts to break the downward trend, begins to rally and expands to a big bull run.

Like they can hold tight, refuse to cut loss and end with 80% or 90% loss but they can not hold tight to take profit at 80% or 90%. They usually exit with 10% or 20% profit or even exit after price rallies 20% from bottom which is where they already get 80% or 90% loss.
