Yes thats what i want to know.
What i see sometimes its good to sell when it comes to exchange because the price go up.
After that the price go mostly down for months.

On the other side there is a way to wait 1-2 years and hope the project not die lol and it goes moon

so how do YOU handle ICO ?

Hodl untill it breaks out, could take days,weeks,months or even years. Or sell directly with aprofit and after it gets dumped (see Kyber) by back for a lower price :-).

But... only invest in solid ICO's of course ...

I dont sell I only HODL my coins like Stratis and NEBL.

They are like the partyhats in Runescape, they will only increase in price overtime....and remember there are always dips, its like rain..pure natural and sunshine will come.

Im with you on Neblio ... will make great profits !!

watching the k line, you may think you have missed so many opportunities to make a fortune, but if you really involved, you may feel if noly not come in, so there are two strategy, one is sell immediately after hitting on the exchange as profits exit, the other is to hold for a long time till the price rising you want

I usually separate the ico that provides short-term benefits and ico that provide long-term benefits.
If I feel the ico will not survive for a long time, when the market price is suitable or already give me a little profit, I will immediately sell it.
But for ICO like neblio and the newly finished kickico, I will keep the coins for years.

It all depends on the token that is being bought during the ICO, greatly relying on the roadmap that the development team has proposed. If there are short term, quick goals for the project to lift off, it could have a faster rise in price opposed to the projects which take longer time to implement their ideologies into action.

Same here, it depends on the coin. But if the developer is active and releasing updates and products then I am holding it for sometime. Also, if price is above the ICO price, then its good to sell it al;so and you can always buy back on its dip.

I hold my ICO coins as long i can. There's no exact time on how long you gonna hold it , becase there's no exact time when the price of ICO coin get higher.

I think selling very early is not that good as holding it for along time to ensure that the price is worth it. I mean there are so many strategies and so many ways in order for you to make a fortune out of it, so it is really depends on the person who's the coins, just give them some worth it advice, I mean don't tell him what to do it will not improve the person at all, just tell those tips and leave it be. That should be enough really.

There is no fixed time of selling your tokens and all of this depends upon the token itself. If the token is showing growth and the value of token is increasing then you should hold it.
Avoid investing in projects which do not seem progressive and don't have a solid team.

In my case, I hold coins depending on their potent. If I think a certain coin will have a higher price in the future, I will hols it for a long period of time. I am only basing on the market, and what kind of ICO that coin belong. If the ICO is timely, for sure that coin won't die in an instant, which also means that bigger profit to be earned in the future.

There's many factors that help determine this for me. I usually try to hold for the long term, particularly if i believe in the project and team. I usually take out my initial investment and just let profits ride if/when it goes 2-3x. The longest holds so far are stratis and lisk and this HODL has paid off very well. A few of my friends sold after they did a 2-3x and are obviously highly regretting that decision now. Pick projects you believe in and have faith through the dips.

Sell as soon as I can. Always. That is the basic rule of handling any ICO

all suggestion is great help to beginners like me i need to know what is the best step to preparing to buy coins and selling again. trading for me is the best way possible to have a experience to earn bitcoin.

I think it took me two months before making some decision to finally sell my ICO Coins. I just get 20-40% of earning. But for me, holding an ICO Coins depends on the coins you are holding of course.

all of that back again to yourself, do you think the coin will rise in the future, or even will fall, if you think it will fall, immediately sell it, but if not, hold it until the coin rise drastically

Just sell if you still got the profit. When i invest with big money, I always carefully thinking about the possibility which may come, I always think that if i could get the profit right now why waiting for thing that's uncertain, so I sell all of my invested ICO token.
but for small amount of investment, i just leave it , and check the market after few months.

My personal perspective is I would only buy into an ICO if I believed in the project.

If you don't believe in the project or don't know enough about it, then it is pure gambling, and in this case if for some reason I bought at an ICO I didn't believe in then I would sell immediately.

I always consider my ICO coins as long term investment so I didn't sell any of my coins that I got it with ICO. I'm not sad because of that.

Aventus, 1 week waiting time then sold all.

Monetha, has been waiting for 3 weeks. Still didn't sell them.

I keep humaniq and some different ico tokens now. I'll sell them when I get the profit.

When I noticed the trend that prices went up right after ICO before crashing, that was when I entered my first. Then of course, the trend became crashing right after ICO. I sold after climbing back a bit, but still in loss overall.

Now I think, buy after ICO and crash, profit from the climbing back. Then again. Maybe a new trend is coming.

I usually wait for at least 3 months to sell. I think if we keep calm and do not sell at cheap rates then you will surely make a profit when investing in ICO but there are still many ICOs that can not have the same price as SNM, STX.

I've participated in three ICO's recently and will wait a couple of years atleast for two of them. Hoping that the market will grow and give good returns.

It depends how much I like the project. Since my bankroll is currently pretty small, I will be capitalizing my initial investment at 2x-5x area, and keep the rest.

It depends on what you are holding. Bancor for example was an absolute disaster. If you bought the ICO, it would have been a short period of time to dump to make profit.

ICOs are a double edged sword. A lot of the coins are going to keep stagnating into the crypto-cementery, but a few can be long term holds.

If you just want to speculate with a project, anything above %10 gains is a good time to dump, but if you want to get rich you need to take higher risks. Doubling your money with an ICO would definitely be a success and I would jump ship at that point, but the few that go %1000 would be missed.

it may depend on the token that your receive during the ICO,they best way to do it is to relying to the roadmap of the development team that been served.there are quick goals for project that been easy to lift of, it could rise faster in price opposed to the projects and also it will take time to implement those ideologies in action

2 options: 1) sell it as the price goes up after ICO limiting your profit 1,5-2x. 2) or if you really trust the team, hold coins for at least a year for a product to be released.
Participating in ICO makes sense if team is trying to get very limited amount of money. Ifthey're asking for too much, price will drop to drop short after.

Maybe I have to wait until it shows on exchanges and sell it right after it made a pump or I might hold it for about 5 months and have to observe the market if it shows good performance in it's first, second and third months of existence on exchanges then I have hold depending on the situation or market flow. Actually I am new to this ICO thing because I am a bit hesitant due to scams happening in some other ICO's out there so just recently I decided to participate and give it a try.

I categorize my coins either for long term or short terms which the coins in short term i do usually sell them when they hit above the ICO price and i do see that this is only the possible high price of that coin and i can see any further updates or potentials but for those coins which i do keep for long term i do really expect on them to give 10x or even 50x but theres no assurance and always have a risk on holding them.

I always consider my ICO coins as long term investment so I didn't sell any of my coins that I got it with ICO

it all depends on the insight of the coin/project. if i see a future in a particular ICO, i can wait as long as it takes just to gain more profit. usually it not advisable to dump a coin immediately after ICO, so you dont end up eaten up your fingers at the long run,

What you said is pretty much thoughtful and one must know the risk involved in it. ICO work like that only, they will run for long period of time for there development and launch of the project. Considering that the price of their token will also fluctuate a lot after they get listed in the exchanger.


But to be honest it's not god way to earn profits like that. Just imagine tokens hitting the exchanger and they will put a initial price tag of x amount and everyone will just start panic selling. This actually kills the coin and the price drops but ICO managers are smart enough to not out the price tag way ahead. So those who still hold the coin will get a full benefit later on. My maximum time of holding the coin is two to three months and I think it's worth to do that.

It depends on the coin, the main reason for us to buy ICO is to get profit, usually after the ICO launched the price will go up and I usually sell it to cover the money I spend, then the rest of the coin I will keep it, in that situation I got nothing to lose, after few months I will see how is the coin improved if it got good improves then I keep it, if not I will sell it

depending on the project itself, if it looks promising then I'll save for 1 - 2 years, but sometimes it's better to be sold when entering the exchanger as long as profitable for me  ;D

If a coin enters a large exchanger then a good step is to hold it for a few months.
but if there is no official information related to the exchanger then it is better to sell it immediately.

I wait as long the market price of the coin hit my target. That could take one month or one year or years.

I've sold a couple relatively quickly, but I generally hold on to them if I believe in the project long term. I'll take some profits off the table if a coin moons though.

Sell when the value of the coin is higher than what you purchased it for. Or if the trend is consistently going up, you could consider holding on to them until such time you feel it’s the right time to sell. Or if in the long run you see that there is no hope of it going up, then you could sell it at the same price or sacrifice selling at a lower value..It’s really all up to you...

thanks for ur response guys

what i find out coin is not coin and ico not ico..i think everyone know this.

one of my ico was ETT because i like the idea behind its not a big team and its not listed on a big exchange now
its on Cryptopia.

so what i wanna say even if you want to sell ur ico coins its not so easy when the coin is not listed in a big exchange like bittrex or polo
i will hodl this coins and hope for a  bigger exchange release in the future

the problem is nobody know the requirement for exchange going to list a coin

wow long time also yes if waiting one to two years,
if I still just wait at least 2 months is my new sell

here there is my factor you have to know before selling ICO coins one bitcoin price , coin volume and change speed and the you can diced to sell your cryptocurrency without lose .

I divide my investment into short and long term. Short term is usually around 30% of initial investment. This means that I'm waiting for pump x3 and sell 30% of my tokens. In this way I return 100% of my contribution in btc. Other 70% of initial investment is long-term investment...

yes that was my plan but was not working in the past
but i plan this for the future

It really depends on how much I believe in the coin. Sometimes I got shaken out by the markets and sold easily because it was surface speculation. When I see a clear long term vision in the market I hodl no matter what.

Maybe you have to study a bit about trading then you can decide when to sell or hold you ICO.

I assured you that you will not regret if you study trading. There so much to learn to maximize profit in ICO.

actually if i join in the ico, if i see the price is increase so high then i will sell more than half amount and not selling all of the coins because i want to trying to be bagholder. and for waiting 1-2 years is enough for me to see the price is up too high. but sometimes, after the coins is launch in the market, the price is suddenly can increase and many of us can make big profit.

But there are several case that bounty dumpers hit the coins and it contributes the coins to fell down and by that way I'd rather choose to sell whenever the price of the coin reach for its ICO price and buy back whenever the price of it get dump for more. And i see it as profitable doings since I'm earning good profits since there are so many ICO has been undervalued and suddenly pump.

Its good to wait after 2 months of bounty distribution as soon as bounty distribution will start to sell the coins . Even some of the coins dead but initially it had very good value after waiting long time without tracking some coins are removed from exchanges.

I've noticed while reading the posts in forums the wisest thing to do is to sell your coins as fast as possible while its high value and then just buy back when its cheaper.

depend on project. Some very good ICO I will wait x2 or x3 profit. If it is just a good ICO. I will sale when it's list on exchange. 20% is good for me

My strategy is to always sell my initial investment when im in profit.

For me it depends on the project, if I think it has the potential right after the ICO and developers are working for the project to be more successful and doesn't stop just there when ICO ends then I usually hold the ICO coins for some time but if I think the project is a flunk and seems like the developers are only after the money they get after the ICO then I'll mostly sell them right away.

It depends on situation. Some tokens are buyed for quick profit and so I sell it when it begins to trade on a popular market. But some projects have really good ideas and their development is needed some more time, so I keep tokens and hope that their price will be higher in the future.

right now i am stuck in neo, bought it 2 days before china banned ico in its country and today neo goes up to 20% but i still hodl because i am sure this coin has prospect, almost about 1 month i hodl.

after hit market, if the price double i sell it, sometimes getting 20% is enough

It depends on the value of the coin after ICO. If its value is great after the ICO, I will immediately sell my coins. Maybe a minimum of 50% gain will do. If I feel that the coin is still undevalue after the ICO, I will jist hold it linger and wait till the price met my expectations.

It depends on the coin in question. But most times I usually hold and wait for that moment it gets extremely pumped and then I watch the trend before I sell. Once it gets dumped, I buy again, take my profit, keep it in a safe place for future, while I use the rest to repeat that cycle all over again.
Like you said, it depends as I have held a coin for months and you will really need to keep watch on the trend of the coin so you don't miss out.

I usually wait for the coins I have until the end of the year, because if I see or observe the prices that take place every year at the end of the year must have increased prices.

This, of course, will vary depending on the desired target value profit every investor and also the development of ICO's own coins. When it was in accordance with what is expected of course sell can be faster even if price rises exceed ICO at the time began to break into the market. but sometimes there is also valuation fell and didn't even go up again, it will take a long time to get up and get profit from this condition.

When the price is already profitable for me, I will sell the price of the ICO token.
Suppose I buy an ICO Token with 1 Ethereum and when the listing on my profit market becomes 2 Etehreum then I will sell directly.

What is dead may not really die! I have seen many coin left for dead staging a real come back in cryptocurrency market. It is important that you know what matters in the market and that the coin you are holding is considered to one of the valuable coin supported by those that matter in crypto space!

It mostly depends on the project if I can see the potential of the project and if it is obvious that team is going to continue work then I do not sell coins, but if I see some risks then I try to sell them ASAP

I generally hold my ICO coins for at least 6 months after being listed on an exchange and after that, I decide either hold or sell. Because investing in any ICO need too much of research and patience to know about the coin and after doing all this I don't sell them aj just of the beginning.
