A good analyst may not mean a good trader

[Oluwa-btc]

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

To that I'll say it varies because you can find an analyst who's good in making accurate analysis and solve related issues in regarding that aspects, so then I believe such person can be profitable in most cases in trading cause of their abilities and skills, though scalping may be a good trading preference but then it's otherwise riskier of which it may results in loses unexpectedly making the trader lose hazardously.

Personally, I think it would be very laughable for an analyst to prefer swing trading. An analyst, which "trades" their thesis, should take a longer term approach in trading that could take YEARS while they're waiting for their thesis to materialize.

It's sort of like Bitcoin HODLers. We have a thesis that because of the nature, ethos, and technical principles of Bitcoin, we have an analysis that it will become a world reserve currency or a Store Of Value for nation-states. 

They may swing trade but they may also do it for the long term. In trading, analysis is important to increase our chances of predicting the market correctly. Trading is a quick activity but it was investing, is the ones that are usually done in the long term. None is forced here in crypto but there are students that literally made thesis about Bitcoin. That is a good idea. It helps to spread the word to the other in case they are still clueless about it. The wish that Bitcoin can become a world reserve and a store of value must be happening already. It is like a dream come true for the many.

Even if someone can analyze very well, there is no possibility that he will be able to make a profit every time he trades, even if he can make a profit a few times. The market is affected by the global situation and it is not controlled by analysis. Trading becomes much more risky due to price fluctuations and limited time to make decisions. New investors should be especially careful in this regard. Because most new investors enter trading with the hope of short-term profits and most of them suffer financial losses. Besides, in trading, one has to keep an eye on price fluctuations every day, which often causes mental stress.

Trading in general is not the game of just numbers but also the human emotions so if someone who is good with numbers and finding the patters still may not make a successful trader because we can't be sure that everyone will handle the situation in the same way if we add the money part and given a situation that their life is on the line and now decide what they should do.

Good analytical skill is an added advantage along with many other things like taking the bold move when the market is taking the unexpected turn or finding the new projects at the right time.

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

In fact, market analysis is an assumption, no matter how good the analysis is, not everyone's analysis is always correct, if someone likes to be a good trader, he cannot be a good trader, and of course, when good analysts trade, sometimes they suffer losses due to extreme volatility on the trading platform. For example, we saw a big dumping in mid-October, no one could have predicted that there would be such a big dumping, most traders were affected by that dumping because there was a liquidation of $19 billion, only traders were affected here, no one else was affected, so I think no matter how good an analyst someone is, they will suffer losses on the trading platform.

Trading is more than just analysing the market, you can make good analyses but not all the time that someone can make good analyses, a single inaccurate analyses can cause huge loss if the trader is not having good trading experience. You can be a good analyst but not a good trader, but good analyses can help a trader very well if he knows how to trade.

Even though you are a good trader you may be very good with analysing trade but you may still lose in fact you will surely lose a trade you can't be perfect always you may face some lose at some point so no matter how experience you are you can still lose money as a trader it's not about being too good and experience.
Trading is usually like that but some people feel the reason why you will lose a trade is because you don't have good experience in trading which is not true no one knows the future and for the fact that you can't predict the future you can't be perfect in trading you will surely be losing money however if you are very good and experience you will be losing less and gain high, but those that are not experience usually gain less and lose high and as a trader when you are in this situation you are not gaining anything and if you continue trading you will go totally broke.

For those who are good with numbers but not very good at handling emotions, it’s important to learn to set goals even before entering a trade. To exit a trade, they can use stop-losses or take-profits, but I think the latter will be much easier to deal with. I believe this is something that simply comes with learning. With each losing trade, you will understand that something needs to change. And that will determine whether you can become a successful trader or not.

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.

It is true that a good analyst might not be a good trader, you need to have the right attitude and be in the right frame of mind to be a good trader, so you can analyze professionally yet don't have the right temperament to actually trade. Trading is hard and it's not for everybody, just like almost everybody can be a crypto investor but not all investors can be traders despite that they're all into cryptocurrency. Being an analyst doesn't mean that you can give traders accurate analysis all the time and some analysts are getting rich off traders that relies on other people's analysis to be profitable.

Only being very experienced in analysis does not make you good at trading because in trading you have to make many different observations which can be said to be included in analysis. However, those who can do good analysis are many who are successful in trading. Although good analysis may not always generate profits, it can always protect you from big losses.

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

It is normal for someone to decide to move away from trading and start holding. There are many who see a lot of volatility in the market and realize that if they trade at that time, their losses can be very high. Then they start moving towards holding and buying potential coins from the market and keeping them for a long time and generating more profit from there than trading.

You are absolutely right, you can't always predict the market to go well always because is unpredictable  if you can analysis the market you can probably get profit if the market is in that your position you analysis better but not all analysis go well since trading is unpredictable and that is why they called it risk if you're not capable of risky alot of funds the best thing is to focus on investing but if you need short term profit you can try trading but you should definitely know that you can lose everything in the market if he didn't go your way.

 New investors need to learn about trading before they risk there funds because without understanding the market you will never succeed because is unpredictable and you need to get the Knowledge before you can probably achieve your goals on it, nothing always comes easy you need to face some challenges first before you can be profitable trader.

I saw many people who always give suggestions to the people and they are not doing anything online and I am not listening their words because they are fool and they don't know how to trade and if someone did trade and he learned from the lose , he will be best person to learn because he will teach that how to learn more by losing less because trading is risky and it could be define by a person who is actually trader and spent lot of years on that work . If good trader is analyst then he could give a chance to us to learn from him because he did mistakes and he will give suggestions to avoid these kinds of mistakes. While your mindset always matters a lot and if you are nervous you will lose money because you are not mentally stable person.

One of the most valuable analytical skills is being able to predict (to know what should be the case), a cognitive ability. Nonetheless, a successful trader should be disciplined and capable of risk management (knowing how to do it), which is a behavioral skill. An analyst might be correct on the direction the market will move but he or she makes a loss due to over leveraging, panicking during a slight downturn or not selling the losses.

Since their thorough analysis requires time to be proven correct a good analyst would also prefer swing trading or holding to the extreme psychological stress and noise of day trading and scalping. The legendary divide between brilliant academic theorists and floor traders is an ideal real world illustration of such divide.

The situation of the crypto market now has almost moved from technical analysis to fundamental analysis, whereby economic news and crisis around the world (mostly on top countries and institutions) has made the direction of the crypto market to be totally unstable and unpredictable for technical trading analysis. Traders relying solely on technical analysis will face losses if they don't pay close attention to fundamental analysis, cause a channel I follow on telegram gave an analysis that before the hit on $110k, we will see around $86k, which didn't happen, not because he wasn't good in his analysis, but because news and speculations around the world made his analysis go void.

No matter how skilled someone is at analyzing, it doesn't mean they can avoid losses. However, with good analytical skills, they can minimize risk, and when their analysis is off, they can quickly assess the error. Therefore, losses in trading are inevitable, even for those who are highly skilled at analyzing.
Losses and profits always coexist in trading; we can't eliminate either one. What we can do is minimize existing risks with knowledge, and of course, by implementing sound risk and financial management.

Markets have become very manipulable nowadays, and often they move against the expectations of the majority. This needs to be taken into account, but it is also difficult to predict. And if you are passionate about analysis, you can often face situations where the market implies an ambiguous outcome, making it very hard to understand where the movement will go next. Therefore, I agree with you that even good analysts will make mistakes, and sometimes even the best analysis can be ruined by manipulation, as we have seen recently with tariffs.

You have an extremely important point. The fact that a good analyst does not necessarily make a good trader, is because being able to read charts or market patterns is not enough to be a successful trader. It entails time management, discipline, emotional restraint and capacity to make decisions when the pressure is on. The global events can be met immediately by the markets and no analysis can keep them stable, in the event of unexpected volatility. This is the reason why most of the new traders whose expectations are in making a quick profit take unnecessary risks and end up making losses. To add to it, price variations may be stressful and result in bad decisions when one is always tracking the price changes. Ultimately, it takes a mixture of analysis and experience, risk management, and psychological stability to succeed as a trader and not analysis.

Analysis alone is not enough to guarantee profit in trading markets react to countless factors and not all of them can be predicted even the most accurate chart reader will face losses because news events regulations or sudden global shifts can change price directions instantly. Being a good trader means much more than being a good analyst it requires strong emotional control and the ability to stay calm when things don’t go as planned the biggest mistake new traders make is thinking that good analysis equals guaranteed profits they enter with high expectations of quick success and when the market moves against them they panic or double down on losing trades leading to even bigger losses.

Constant monitoring of price charts can also create mental exhaustion and stress which clouds judgment and results in impulsive decisions that break strategy this is why setting clear plans managing risks and taking breaks are vital components of trading discipline. In the end trading success depends on the balance between technical skill emotional discipline and patience without this balance even the best analysis will fail and turn into frustration rather than consistent growth.

There is no such thing as a person who is experienced only making profits in trading, the situation can change at any time so it is normal for that person to face losses. No matter how experienced you are in trading, you will still have a gap in your knowledge because you are blind to the future, but it is different in holding, because there is a huge gap between trading and holding. When I was new to trading, I faced losses repeatedly and I gained knowledge from the losses, but till now I have faced losses but relatively less. So it is normal for there to be losses in trading.

Even an expert cannot always profit from the positions they open. There will always be a chance of making a mistake in their analysis, especially as you said, the market does not move based on what traders analyze, but because there are parties who move it in the direction they want.
However, if you trade, you don't need to always monitor the screen to see the movements because there are features on the exchange that we can use, for example stop loss or notifications.
