I know this often depens on the coin you hold but how long do you try to hold a coin on average?

I sell when it double its price, but I only take my investment back and than I hold coin for one year. I can reply this if price grow again.

I don't think it is good to use the same target for every coin you invest in.  Do your research, and then once you find the coin you want to invest in it is best to set a stop loss and then a couple of target prices.  When you have a price target that you sell at it will always be planned profit.

It depends on its market cap, if I think it can rise more, I hold it. ''I aim to hodl forever'' what a option?  So you are waiting those coins to die.  It is all about potential.

This would really be on case to case basis depending on the coin you would invest.Hodling is not always being suggested same as you said there are coins which do have really a big supply which we can already presumed that holding it for long term would be somehow pointless because pumping it would really be a rare case.

I generally sell coin after it gains around %10 to %25. But it depends to coin. Bitcoin or Ethereum are different than useless tokens. I directly dump useless tokends to ground right after I see profit.

If I were to hold a coin, I will usually hold until it becomes profitable. It doesn't matter if it gained 10%, 100% or more, as long as it is profitable, I'll sell. To achieve that, some things  must be considered. Patience and good decision is the key. But there are cases that are urgent, if that happens, I also sell to immediately respond to the urgent need.

In trading alternative coins, you should always be careful and attentive. I'm not afraid of temporary price changes. And I keep the coins until they bring me the planned profit. Sometimes it takes a very long time, but I'm ready to wait

Actually it depends I sell if I already gained profit, probably if it double the price. If the coin I invest is good project some of my coins I hold for a long term investment. Then, in case needed for a trading funds I sell my hodling the I buy back the cheaper price.

I invest my money on long term investment so im waiting when price reaches minimum 2x bigger price

As mentioned above, for me it depends on the coin, and why I am holding it.

For example ICO that I really believe in such as, Bitquence, I bought allot at 4 cents each in the ICO.

My first rule is that I sell 1/4 of the coins if they ever hit 4x the price. I had forgotten about Bitquence until I saw it around the $1.20 mark. This was far above my 1/4 sell point and as such I sold 3/4 of the coins and held 1/4 long term.

However normally, my aim is to sell 1/3 at 3x the bought price, and hold the rest until I think the profits are substantial enough to swap into the next coin.

For other coins, such as Bitcoin/ Ethereum/ Waves/ Ark etc I am holding long term and I don't have a sell price.

Yeah, no. It depends on what are you investing in, if you like trading shitcoins, better be out quickly, but if you aim at solid projects (nothing is risk free tho) you should always aim at that perma-hold.
I always buy coins that i could see myself holding in 1, 2, 3... years.

I agree, it depens on how you do trading and selling coins. If the coin has the potential to grow usually I hold it for a long term. But if on shitcoins, Im just gaining profit probably atleast 10% and if I already earn I sell my coins.

it can't be determined because the chart of the every coin is not same as other. Sometimes i got up to 30% profit from my investment and i just try to cash it out and try to put another buy back again in the lower price. You are talking about the unknown answer dude.

Ideally, we sell coins when they are in profit or, better yet, when they are in many folds already. However, in my case, i sold my Coins when i badly need some financial support and i got nothing but my coins; somehow a desperate move. Anyway, Holding on your coins depends on the coin itself. As for me, i hold on to them until they profit like two or three folds and when i see its value going down for a while, i tend to take on the profit and let the rest of the coin grow for some time,  say a year or two; unless i really, really need to sell them or find any viable reason to do so.

it depend on the potential of the coins if the hype is high or it is in top100 in coinmarketcap im going to Hodl it as long as i can. But if im am risking into a random shit coins atleast 15 % increase from my investment will do and start again another trade for another coin.

There is no certainty how long I hold a coin. But surely i learn from experience, I sell monaco MCO and a few months later its price rose drastically, I regret it too. So I keep hold some alt which I think in the future will be a valuable asset.

I plan to hold bitcoin for a longtime.

iam sell my coin if coin high price
this mean position coin price in resistance price, pivot resistance price

Depend on the future of that coin project and the price. Sometimes the altcoin price is fall down after they entered the exchange, that's why it's better to wait 1-2 months until it calm down, after that i'm looking any information and updates about that coin. IF there a good sign, i will hold more.

When the profit over 200%-300% , I will sell the coin. If not arrived, just hold the coin for myself.

I am not expecting a highest result. As long as I earn profit it is okay with me. I am contented to it. Expectations leads to disappointment. I don't want to be disappointed so I rather be contented on what I have.

according to my opinion and my ex prince i have a small tricks for my trading when ever the rate of coins is fall i start buying more and more coins and whenever the rate of coins increase from the present rate then i start selling my some coins while keep some of coins for an opportunity when the rate increased too much from present rate then i start selling all my coins. i have never face loss in my this trade and i am very happy with working with coins.

i sell once my target is reached or when shits about to go sideways ;D, then i buy back at the bottom and repeat :P

I normally sell my coins whenever it reaches my expected exchange. Normally, I set my expectation up to 10% ROI though it still depends on the capability of the coins. I'm not usually using 10% for my coins, why? Simply because not all coins have the same potential and My aim is not to get a lot from it but instead I'm satisfied on how much can that coin give. Most likely if I a lot minimal percentage on a coin, that coin is an experiment or part of my trial and error process. Which if it meets my expectation then I'll go, if I only get Breakeven or none at all then most likely I will drop it.

It depends on your target. I sell when it reach %80 or %100.
Find the right time and price is so hard... I can't get big risks :)

I chose hodling forever. But you are right, it generally depends on the specific coin. Holding forever is my way when it comes to the very new coins that are also very cheap. I believe this is a good strategy because they are still very determined to make happen whatever they indicate in their roadmaps. I also sell though especially when I have a target price for selling.

all depends on the coin, if I am sure on the coin, usually I will hold in the long term until get a profit 500%. But if in doubt and want to take fast advantage, usually only taking 10-50%.

I sell the coins as soon as they are in profit that my goal is achieved. If the coin doubles in price, I will not hesitate to sell it. You may think it will increase more but anything can happen.

It depends on the coin that I am holding and what price levels I have bought them.
If I have bought coins when they are getting heavely dumped than probably I will sell them once it will get atleast 100% profit.
If I have bought coins during ICO than I will look for 1000% atleast
If I am doing short term tradings than I will sell coins just after they will turn into profit.

I agree that it depends on the coin like by looking at their coin supply you can tell if you gonna dump it or not. If the coin has a finite supply then there's a chance that a coin can pump hard while if a coin has a infinite supply, yeah it will pump but it will be just definitely a hype, so don't expect a high profit. Therefore, by looking at this you can also tell if you gonna sell or just hold.

I use fibonacci to figure out when i want to sell a coin. I think having targets like 10, 25 or 100 percent is not a good rule beacuase you don't take into account the markets behaviour

i sell when 14% + or -
then i try next trade.

Usually around 30% profit, I will sell the coin, if the price fall down more thn 40%, i will also sell, alt coin is not a very good coin to used for long term, so whenever the price is good I usually sell it, holding too long could be very risky

As much as I often have a target in mind, it depends entirely from coin to coin, some I will aim for only 10% whereas others 300%+. I always sell some amount upon reaching my target so as to not regret not staying true to my expectations.

Yes that's the good idea if you want to get high profit for your bitcoin or altcoin.
Much better if you hold that, because i pretty sure the value of bitcoin was get to the highest value like $7000 or $8000 for this coming fork.

My friend suggested to hold a coin for 2weeks then when the price pumps we will immediately sell it. I earned my coins only in airdrops and I am waiting for my bounty for my two previous campaigns. I don't have any knowledge yet on trading that's why whenever we trade our coins we are sending it to him then he will trade in exchange sites.
