How do you fair in trading so far? have you been losing or winning money ?

Overall I'm up.  But I don't like to actively trade.  I pick alts with a potential future and then hodl.  Sell a little as they go up, to recoupe my investment.  Then I either hold the remaining free coins, or sell them.  But right now I'm stuck in about 4 coins just waiting.

But yes, to answer your question, even though I don't actively day trade, I am up significantly.

Lost a lot recently.
I thought bitcoin will go up and will go way up high until 5000 dollars but I did it wrong.
Maybe I should be waiting for the price to calm down for 3-5 days until it goes high.
For now, I wont be moving my bitcoins until it goes to the price that I want.
What might be happening with bitcoin I still dont know.

I'm still up and on the plus side of my trading so far. Although I have limited time to do day trading as before, I calculate that if I continue to do so in last couple of months I could be up by a good 10% only. But I will take it any day. I totally stop trading altcoins as well but focus more on bitcoin. The Aug 1 split and the China's negative news are the things that I have missed because of my busy schedule. Just imagine during the Aug 1 split, the price fluctuates from $1900 to $2900 in 24 hours, so do the math for how much you can profit who have bought it at floor price and sold it at the peak.

This month has been great for me and I am up a little over 100% on my investment  (invested less than 1000 Euro though, so nothing serious).

I'm down with my alts those I hold are still in red but its okay I'm always looking for long term and not really worried about any downfall as I understand that things will bounce back after several days or months I just keep doing my daily routine and check if there's some movement coming from those coins, we needed to remember that trading is not an easy access to become rich but a way to have a better financial stability in the long run.

All my blockfolio's alts are red. Until China's position stabilices I will avoid any trading.

I haven't done that well in trading, until I developed patience to be able to make one simple trade at the right time and just keep building on that.

Losing and winning is normal in trading and it is always part of it but a fair losses is not good as it indicates that a trader must have to improve his skills or analysis and for continues winning will be the result of it.

I'm still up too until now. Mixed some of myself speculation and following a trading signal group.
Unfortunatelly for me because almost all of my altcoins are falling now, due to some bad news (yea you know, it's from china), but i'm still believe with these altcoins

I am a newbie trader. My trading result is not that good. I have 60% wins 40% loss. I learned a lesson that, I should not trade an altcoin during the bitcoin retracement. Look for the final dip and there you can buy your altcoin of your choice.

In terms of fiat I am sitting with huge profit by just holding my bitcoin which I have bought at under $1k. In terms of daily trading, I am now able to make quite good profit everyday by playing with every price swings but I have also lost so much when I was in learning phase few months back.

You should loss something in start to learn from your mistakes.

It looks like the wait may be over. If we continue above $3400 for a couple more hours and manage to close above the 200 day moving average for the rest of the weekend we may gain traction to test a new pop all the way up to $4100. If we beat this resistance, I don't see how we aren't going to get past the last ATH. There isn't many relevant resistance points after $4100.

If the Amazon news turn out to be real, that could change everything and we may not even take a stop at $4100 and we'll blast through $5000 on the first try.

I used to lose when I first started back in 2013. But that was because I was trading new alts, which got pumped, dumped, and never recovered.

Once I switched to trading only the top ten by marketcap, things improved. The coins don't die, and each one has a particular rhythm, that you get to learn.

Also, it took a while to learn that pumps are always done to coincide with some sort of news, because they know that noob investors like there to be a "reason" the coin is going up, rather than "it's just going up because someone is manipulating the market". So if you can spot the news-cycle for a coin, you can front-run the pumps.

I am still learning though but in my short stint, I have lost and have won as well but that does not mean I would give up on trading. The coins are trade are fairly known ones and not available on all sites due to me being careful and wanting to minimise my losses but soon and very soon will join the big league after I have finish my learning process which I am sure the story will change from managing to making money.

I've been winning since I started, I never loss some don't even know why but as far as thing go on my favor then there should be no problem at all. I've been winning so far but I don't have a huge capital to start to so every profit I get is always not enough for everything I'm handling now. I will try everything just to raise my capital so I've been joining some campaigns lately. I don't have any strategies though I just trust everything in my guts.

For the recent week where a crazy ride just happened, I managed to get 15% of my initial bank roll after losing 23% thanks to Jamie Dimon shitting on BTC yet again. Always thought that in bitcoin, the one who holds long enough is the one who always wins but apparently, shorting is waaay better if you have a lot of time in your hands for a day.

Looking forward to an easy week this coming Monday. Proud of myself because I just learned shorting very recently but still managed to hit some profits albeit having a bad mistake at first.

For now on my current situation i would say that im on positive side which i do see on my folio that im on profits which is really good indication that im improving on making trading everytime. Loses cant really be avoided but still the important thing that you would end up on profits on the end of the day. Sometimes there are days which i do lose money but on the other day i can able to break even with that loss.

Today of course we're losing money but im confident that it will go high by the end of the month and year.

Winning just a small amount resulted from the surging of BTC, otherwise it just some lucky pump I ride on, so far my portfolio are frozen now since there are no movement.

many times i've losing my money but its not stop me for doing trading because i know i can learn something from my loss. so far, i can handle my emotion if somehow i've got loss. but in the other time, i can make profit too and i considering that for daily trading, we can not always make profit and its depend with how good we analyze each coins and how good we pick the right coins and how patience we are to see the price is increase or decrease.

I got out of the cryptomarket temporary a month or so ago with a profit of around 900% in a timespan of roughly 8 months. Good, but it could have been better as I made some pretty dumb mistakes in that timeframe and the market was extremely bullish. Biggest mistakes were buying QRL right at the peak (FOMO) and selling a bunch of Lisk too soon; in last July for around $2 while we're now looking at values around $6.

I use to trade in altcoins on exchange. To be honest i lost in the last 2weeks,that my be because the price of btc has fallen to 3k around from 4.7k and also i got stuck in scam coins. If that happens to you dont panic just set your order to profit and forget that coin.

In reality every open position is right decision depending on time frame.Sooner or later price will bounce back to level which you opened that order.It can take years,months,weeks..That is why timing is important factor for traders..

So far I'm gaining, I used to buy coins when they are low and sell high. I think the only way you can lose money is when you buy on a bad trade then sell after.

I honestly have bad memories in trading, I always lose. so far how many USD I have lost, so therefore i will now try to be more patient and not too active in trading.
