A good analyst may not mean a good trader

[Futurexxx]

What if someone is good in analyses and he is an analyst, can such person be losing while trading?

Short answer, yes, he will still be losing money.
In trading knowledge alone on how to analyze the market is not enough to be successful because if you can't control your emotions while trading, the possibility of your losing that trade is way very high even though you get your analysis right, because you will see yourself pulling out of a trade in a losing position when you should have waited a little bit longer and it would reverse and go to where you wanted it to go, sometimes you may even stay longer in a market that you should have cut your loss and move on, so having knowledge on technical and fundamental analysis doesn't guarantee success in trading.
Patience and taking only the best trading set up is another thing you must be good at if you want to stand a chance in being successful while trading, not just knowledge on technical and fundamental analysis.

Those people can lose in trading if they can not control themselves. Trading is not just about analysis or skill but also about how you control your emotions and mind together so you will not get something bad from the market.

If you talk about swing trading and holding rather than scalping and day trading, that will depend on personal preference. It is because they have a skill which they will use to choose the trading type. Some friends that I know prefer to do day trading and scalping. But other friends choose swing trading. All will depend on your skills because if you have good skills, you can use all of the trading types to make a profit.

Definitely even an analyst would lose funds on the trading as well. Because it isn't necessary that his analysis always be right. If he always fails, then he won't be an analyst at all; he is just a blind trader then. Also, it doesn't mean analysts would never lose. A good analyst should be a winner in most of his trading, and the overall result should be profitable. As we trade without analysing, sometimes we come out right and sometimes we lose as well.

A good analyst makes a proper plan and strategy by researching the market, and as a trader, you have to execute it. But a trader has to decide when to take entry and when to exit, including stop losses. Even their analysis is right sometimes; the market would react opposite due to bad news or volatility. However, a good analyst knows what's going to happen, and a trader acts correctly when it doesn't happen at all.

The point is that the crypto market is not just about analyzing data and charts. The crypto market is influenced by many things, such as unexpected news, emotions, global events, and so on. So, it’s going to be very hard for any trader not to experience losses in trading, because most of these things determine the market.

No matter how good a trader may be at analysis, they can’t continue winning in every trade they take. They will eventually face losses, as things can change when unexpected events happen. This is one of the reasons why many people say trading is very hard to make money from.

Don’t you see what really happened recently when the crypto market crashed? It’s not that people didn’t do good analysis before entering the market but  the point is that unexpected news changed everything and a lot of top traders lost almost all their funds.

The market is so volatile and unpredictable. That is why we can't say that what happened in the past or even yesterday will happen again today or the next day. So these analysts will just fail. They will try trading and experience losses. The same thing happens to experienced traders.

Or a good analyst will prefer swing trading and holding than scalping and day trading which are the riskiest trading types?

It depends on their interest. But I think they'll try all kinds of trading to find what's best for them. Besides, they already have the advantage that gives them a bigger chance to earn a profit. And it was not difficult for them to adapt to the market situation.

Not every good analyst is a good trader but every good trader needs to be a good analyst.

If you do not have your TA/FA fundamentals down and cannot make meaningful connections
to news, economical, political etc. events then you are not going to be a good trader.

And no, before anyone asks, you cannot depend on AI or any kind of software to do the work for you.

The absolute riskiest trading type is derivatives trading. It is short-timescale gambling. No other word for it.

[Coyster]

Most people lose in trading, even the so-called analysts or experts. So many of them open trading groups and sell trading signals to other traders. Unknowing to those purchasing the signals that the flashy life the "expert" is living and displaying online isn't from trading profits, but from the fee they charge people for those signals.

Trading is risky and anyone who claims they are only making profit is prolly lying. That is why risk management is so important in trading, but a lot of newbies do not implement it, instead they apply high leverage and lose all their money.

This is possible but not for a long time. It will not happen for a long time before you realize that you are actually good in your analysis. Those that stay so long in demo could have such issue when they come live. They will doubt theirselves because of losing money as a result of emotion on real money but if they are actually seeing that their prediction actually happens after they have exited in fear and loses, they will pick courage to hold on to what they predicted after a while. So such traders that are good analysts need to work on their emotion, if they do that they will be fine at the long run.

Any type of trading is good and profitable if you understand it. No broker or exchange will ask a trader the type of strategy, style or method of trading they used to make their profit before they process his withdrawal  

If you can use some or more people as an example in your post, I will really appreciate that.

No one precisely but if you check when you do a good analyse and because of panic and fear you lose out whilst the prediction happens, you learn.

[Odusko]

Those people can lose in trading if they can not control themselves. Trading is not just about analysis or skill but also about how you control your emotions and mind together so you will not get something bad from the market.

To be successful in trading there is need to separate emotions from technique and define what you want, just like saying, emotions will definitely lead you into making weak trading decisions, while techniques will give you assured profits and winnings, whenever a trader approach the market using emotional sentiment, you definitely will record losses most especially when you face pressure during the trading session.

What if someone is good in analyses and he is an analyst, can such person be losing while trading?

Definitely, yes. There are good analysts who aren't profitable traders. Trading is more of emotional control than mere teaching. Trading is practical, not theory. So, I don't have any doubt whenever I read about analysts who don't earn from trading. It's the same thing when we read about great career marriage counselors who've terrible married lives or are divorced.

It will shock you to know that some analysts don't trade at all. As in, they can't even trade to save their own lives.

[Maslate]

There are those who keep claiming in the social media that they are good analysts, yet they are not successful and profitable in their trades. This only means that anybody can be a good analyst, and continue to provide us good trading market analysis and even good trading signals, but he does not have any guarantees to be making a good trade and make massive profits from it.

This only tells us that trading itself isn’t just in a form of having good analysis, but it’s more than that. Trading is risky, so you have to be good in risk management as well, and should have positive attitudes towards trading outcomes since not all trades automatically hit the goal profits, others just end up losing in the market.

The job of an analyst is too vast due to the numerous factors which are influencing the direction of a market. So, an analyst may miss few other things to consider which result in slightly wrong signal and this obviously will lead for losses while trading. So, there cannot be a good analyst to exist hence obviously zero chances for a good trader in the end. In my opinion, there could be only lucky traders who more often escaping from hitting stop loss. Yeah, this is how trading works. Even you spend years to master all the technical analysis, still you cannot generate guaranteed accurate signals. You must need God's touch to be accurate with your signal.

a good analyst will prefer swing trading and holding

When you do not need to time the market, your chance of winning in a trade increases significantly. This is the key with swing trading and holding. So, I am sure that swing trading and holding cannot be used to measure the skill of an analyst to find good or bad.

I think you could select a few public traders for this and observe how they operate. Some of them are quite good analysts, and most of them make money from it. In my observations, most successful traders trade spot, primarily medium-term, although there are also some who make longer-term trades.
Those who are more unprofitable are those who trade futures, they are more susceptible to market manipulation, as happened recently in early October.

Everybody faces one or two losses in trading but it depends on how you manage your risks, what makes a good trader is not just good analysist also risk management plays a major role in the life of a successful trader. And any type of trader can be successful it doesn't really matter the type of trader you are ether swing trading, day trading or scalping can be successful as long as you are good at what you do. Although scalping happens to be the most riskiest form of crypto or forex trading  but traders still find it their best form of trading. Trading is majorly on ones personal perspective .

[Dickiy]

I'm not a professional trader, but I do know a little about this. I still think even the most skilled analyst will experience losses.

The market isn't biased, and being an expert analyst doesn't necessarily mean you'll always win. However, your profits will likely outweigh your losses, with a success rate of perhaps 80% compared to that of a regular trader.

There are many other factors that can lead to losses. Even if someone is very skilled at analysis, if they accidentally get caught up in emotions, it's still possible for them to make the wrong decision, which will inevitably lead to losses.

[Stepstowealth]

What if someone is good in analyses and he is an analyst, can such person be losing while trading?

Yes you can still lose trades even if you are a good analyst because success in trading goes far beyond your analytical skills, there is also the requirement of emotional stability and psychological that a trader who is a good analyst may lack. If a trader lacks these, he will still loose in trades.

The market isn't biased,

The market is also not a respecter of persons or the skills you have in analysis. The market will constantly test your emotions and psychology and if you are not strong in that area, you will loose to it.

bro!! to be honest being a good analyst doesn’t always mean being a good trader That's just the hard truth because trading also requires discipline, timing and emotional control some analysts can predict market trends accurately but still lose because of poor risk management or impatience. a lot of futures traders kind of face higher risks due to volatility and market manipulation. spot and medium term trading kinda give better results because they allow for more control and less pressure!! just buy some good assets at low price and hold for it to get to a nice price then sell.

Losses are very normal and this market is fair for all unless the manipulators have come to take our money.

It depends on their goal, if they aim for long term holding then they'd hold than to do scalping or day trading. Those who have analyzed the market based on the 4-year cycle, they'd mostly hold and that's what they're going to focus with. It's no brainer for them for what's to come and what is about to happen soon and so, they rely their analysis for that scenario and so they prefer to accumulate and hold. I think that many of us here are like that and chose to be like that.

[Finestream]

Let’s stop normalizing thinking that once you know how to read the market patterns, analyze the market well, and provide reliable market signals, trading success will be guaranteed. It takes a lot of experience first before you can perfectly navigate your trading activities. And it requires a lot of mistakes and uncontrollable losses first prior to hitting the final success. That’s why if you’re a good analyst, that does not lead to guaranteed success.

Trading is a working process. And constant practice and experience are a must to achieve mastery and reach the final goal of success and profitability.

After drawing trend lines and doing your analysis there is no guarantee that the market is going to move according to your prediction, its good to analyse but this doesn't make it entirely sure but it increases thr chances of making profit. You might know to analyse and have good strategies without knowing how to apply them correctly. Trading isn't easy and analysis can only give you good results to a certain extent
