Absolutely, all of your points are responsible; mostly unrealistic trading targets.

Traders generally loose because of their silly mistakes. Some of the basic reasons which causes loss to traders are given below :-

Never do the homework:- Most of the times traders blindly follow anyone's advice instead do proper research and study the industry trends before investing heavily.

Lack of patience:- As it is said: "Patience is a Virtue". You need to have patience, buying and selling without proper planning is not the way it has to be. You need to plan accurately before trading in cryptocurrency.

Have insufficient knowledge:- People invest big without knowing exactly how cryptocurrency works. It is necessary to get complete knowledge of what bitcoin is and how it works. People need to have an up to date information so that they can take a wise decision during trading in bitcoins.

I have mentioned few points which I thought cause losses to the traders, rest of the other points are already covered in other answers.

I don’t want to mark any mistake as silly mistake in Forex; because any mistake is enough to face you MC if you are not following the trading rules.

last week i did huge losses because of not using Stop Loss,
actually manually cutting loss is really tough particularly during news.
so, i suggest to all, don't trade without stop loss.

according toe me, devoid of using stop loss ,
trading condition as like a ship in an deep ocean without a rudder,

so never trader without this technique at all.

Stop losses can be helpful cutting the losses earlier as one bad trade can kill up to entire account.

Trading without SL is very dangerous! Basically, traders need to set their SL according to the market demand! Having a fixed target on SL isn’t useful.

no way to deny the importance of stop loss and most of the traders always use this technique when trading in practical , but the main problem is , stop loss not works in a proper way most of the time , because we dont know how to use this technique.

No doubt; it’s one of the most common issues! I see, new traders have a tendency to judge their trading skill too early.

Sure it is. SL is a part of money and risk management after all.
