Bitcoin Forum

I'm looking to understand how people decide how to trade? Do you do any analysis, and what exactly? How ofter do you trade and why?

Here's the example of how I invest/trade: I've done a lot of research on 2 coins: ETH and NEU (Neufund). Both have solid use. My team uses Ethereum for software development so I follow closely it's network usage, and I know pretty well how many companies use it for various purposes. Neufund is the first Equity Token platform, it's economics are clear to grow and generate income, I follow it's channels closely and know what's happening. Besides these I also own Bitcoin for diversification and cashing out. Besides these that I know well and follow closely I do not buy any other coins, I only earn tokens of my clients through work. When any of my holdings get to gains of over 50% I start selling them slowly, to USDT or to other tokens if they did not grow as fast. For example I sold ETH for BTC when it reached 0.1. Then if the coins drop over 60% of the peak, I start buying them. I never sell on the downturn or buy after token is over 80% of it's historical high.

This indeed is a good strategy. My strategy are similar while buying with fiat.
I select a number of coins which I believe do have a future. I buy when they are going low or high and are below 50% of their peak value, I keep on buying the coin if it keeps decreasing in a decreasing amount while stops buying when it keeps increasing and I set 50% of the coins on sell order above x2 of my buying price hence bringing back my investment in any time in future.

I learned about technical analysis and fundamental analysis, but i more focus to learn technical analysis because this is more helpfull. Now i trade on crypto that paired with USDT or fiat so when any bad news come, i can sell ASAP all my digital asset to the that fiat. Because i was trade on pair altcoin with BTC but more difficult  how to manage the digital asset from high fluctuacion.

It really varies on the situation. For example I did anticipate a dip in the market when bitcoin reached 20k and even my grandmother wanted to invest into crypto, so that is when I sold bitcoin. Along with fundamentals and TA one needs to keep an eye on the general opinion of the cummunity as whole to know when to sell and when to buy. I have be observing that almost everyone has been saying to buy the dip when bitcoin went to 7k recently, however I do not think that we have witnessed the real bear yet, which can make bitcoin to dip to under 3k, this is just my opinion.

When I do see them on some ads and this forum signature promotions, I am only eying for them and wait when they bump on coin exchanges and coinmarketcap.com because I don't usually trust ICOs except they bump on coin exchanges and coinmarketcap.com .
and of course, my intuition. If I really do like the coin, I invest them 50% of research and 50% from my intuition.

If im looking to trade then i personally like to follow long charts like daily or weekly charts, they clearly tell you about the trend and you can make long term trades based on those charts but you have to remain patient for decent profit.

Analysis is more than just technical, it is everything. You should always make well informed decisions and take your time. If you are trading frequently you have to factor in the fact that your trades won't be as well informed as if you take your time and this could effect your profitability.

I take the amount, you'll never guess. And this strategy justified itself, for example, I took half a year ago xvg and rdd when they were at the bottom and nobody needed.

There are a lot of good info out there for free.
I do bad trade which becomes an investment :)
Are you a trader or are you an investor?

Seems like a good plan for me:
1. DYOR
2. Risk management
3. Buy slowly/sell slowly/hold till MOON
 

It looks like we almost have the same strategy, the only difference is that I have more coins that I can diversify like Monero, NEO , Bitcoin, Ethereum and NEM. Other tokens that I own are came from campaigns.

I think in this thread will write a lot of tips and techniques for identifying the ideal projects for investment. I would like to suggest only to rely more often on my intuition and experience. In the end, these are the most reliable tools.

For trading you have to be very active and skillful as trading is very risky.Always trade in those coins which undergoes high fluctuations because you can get more profit in this way.I use my BTC on daily trading and earning enough profit on daily basis.I have analyzed BTC in all respect,research on its crash history,parabolic charts,moving average for last 3 years,so i know when is the good time to trade.Trading is basically done for benefit.

For trading purpose you have to be very active and agile and you should be very proficient.Trading is risky but also carries high return.Many people do day trading you can say short term trading.Before trading in any coin its history,project,ICO is very compulsory to study otherwise you may lose your investment.I often engage in short term and long term trading.I do short term trading with my BTC on bitfinex.I am earning very sound profit.For day trading you have to monitor constantly market and have to be very quick,when price is high sell it,when price is low buy it.Its really very tricky.

Lately since everything has been very cheap, I have been buying more of my current holding and increasing my stacks.  It is a lot of work to research new projects and it's not a guarantee that you'll even make money.  Buying what you already believe in is a good strategy right now.

I'm only interested in the idea of ​​the project, and of course if the project has an alpha version that gives the whole idea of ​​the project, then it seems to me that this is a very promising project that I will consider as an investment opportunity.

A lot of ways like follow the trading signal, follow the news, follow their analysis :)). It's really difficult to know exactly way people make their trade. But I think trading signal and price chart analysis are the most popular way traders make their trade. Although maybe you already know that there are so many trading signal groups but it's not easy to find out a legit one and of course analyze price chart is not easy to learn :)). I don't analyze any price chart cause I'm not a trader, I lost a lot of money in trading that why I decided to quit trading and focus on bounty campaign in this forum only.

Every person creates a kind of stratgy depending on the amount he has. Some people buy coins under 1usd and hold them in hope of a major rise. Others buy more stable and expensive ones and operate with larger amounts with minor price changes. it is individual and you should find what is good for you.

I watch the news background, what is the road map, what in the world is happening on this subject!

I make crypto investment decision because i feel save by investing in it and it will help to secure my future.
Cryptocurrency is one of the best thing I've ever done by investing in it.  It's cool and reliable. My future is unique by investing in crypto.  8)

There is not much to think about, the difference between small, medium and large investors is the ability to adapt and also the ability to recognize their limits. So the only way to make decisions is to study and practice all the time, until you get a considerable level just to hit the eye and know what is happening or what to invest.

Basically the principle is that, you should buy when its at dip and sell when its high. I would suggests you to decide doing long term investment, since most coin shows its full potential in the long run. Instead selling, decide to buy as much you could and as much as you could afford.  Ive been trading not too long ago but I realized that a year is not long period of time in cryptosystem.

Firstly I line up all assets that I think are of prospect then start researching them to rank in terms of largest portion of funds to invest in them.

If it's a project already on exchange,  I can consider it's market cap n price n circulating supply. Then I check out the road map to see where it is going to.

If it's an ICO, I employ the above but very much detail. A total and thorough review is important to avoid falling for scam

Consideration should be given to whether you want a long term investment or just a shorter one. So if you decide just to hold coins long enough and sell when its really profitable then there is not much to analyze or decide, it's just about waiting. But for short term trading you should follow the market analyze the graphs read current events and do a lot of predictions and study. It's really complicated but in time you will learn it if you are into it.

I am more interested in long term investment than daily trading. Though I do shirt term trade often too. I learnt basic technical analysis myself like use of trendlines, support and resistance horizontal lines and few simple indicators

Don't confuse trading and investment. They are "slightly" different things  ;)
If you mean long-term investing, first learn the idea of coin - is it a game changer? is it real? Learn the market cap, the lower the better, because low market cap means more chances to sky rocket. Learn the product, team, marketing efforts, previous price history, everything.

I will invest in altcoin that has a bright future. I would rather invest in ETH, BCH and LTC, these coins are widely used by people and have the potential to rise very high in the future. I will buy when the price is down and sell it when the price goes up.

just looking a project that's i like, search for some sentiment on Twitter, visit their's community/GitHub, if I find the project was good i just buy -hodl for life.

I analyze MVP and market. If for my opinion all ok - I invest.

for myself I trade by buying coin when the price is down and holding it for profit if the price returns to normal.

basically a very simple strategy that traders often do is buy when prices go down and sell when prices go up. I think this is a very simple strategy and it is certain that this strategy will always be profitable. so I think the most important thing a trader should do is to keep monitoring the price movement of crypto in order to read up and down prices in the crypto market.

So fat the impression I got is that most people do a little bit of research on the project background, a little on technical analysis and then rely on intuition for the rest. I'm wondering if anyone will find it important to know how many transactions are on some blockchain (this shows how popular it is today), how is the project doing on their roadmap, things like that? Some analysis that would resemble stock analysis.

In fact, everything is very, very difficult. The very first thing I do, I see what kind of idea the project carries and what this project can offer to people, I think that this kind of thing can not be exactly overrated, because now the idea is the most precious thing that is

In my strategy one target I wait strong fall of market then trying buy anything with real pontetial to growth.

to learn how to trade read books abot technical analysis. Try to understand what graphics are and how to work with them. Levels of support, resistance and etc. Now is very popular swing-trading. Day trading is very hard for most people.

The most important things are frequent analysis. I am choosing coins which price falled under 50%, and they guarantee me sure profit ( based on analysis ). But i do not doing this usually

I think that the best time to sell your cryptocurrency coins is when you are possibly profit of your coins without any great if it is not possible due to an agent that then you have to wait until your cryptocurrency coins are up at the same amount of investment as you first and rested and saw that you were not in any losses.

 I do follow the market trends and follow the news of financial world. Also I have my own investment strategies.

Before I invest, I watch the team. I look whether they are following their roadmap. Do they keep their promises. I look at what partnerships were concluded, what kind of capitalization of their coin, etc. And only then do I decide to invest or not.

Well, if you are asking about the investment, you should read whitepaper of the project you are investing in, check their background, check background of its development team and advisors and see what utility it serves in the current market and real world. For trading purpose, you must also be updated on the news of the coins you are planning to trade in because good news usually pump coins high and bad news dump them bad. Also study the movement chart of the coin and check its support level and the level of resistance to analyse the entry point and exit point and trade effectively.

And that difficult, here explain it is possible now to trade when price in falling and unknown at what level she will be tomorrow. And if it was said you that in a week she will be in 3 times anymore, then took chance. All for us on prognoses, successes. An all market tendency is clear, simply separate coins behave on anything.

If you want to trade then you should focus on your technical analysis and it's enough to do basic fundamental analysis to make sure the coin won't be delisted. You should learn how to identify support line, resistance and other patterns including bull and bear pattern and what they means. It's not necessary to trade often as i prefer to find something good to trade rather than doing a lot of random trade.

Doesn’t matter whether you do day trading, short term investment or long term investment, you won’t gain profit unless you have enough patience. Doesn’t matter how much analysis you do, number of charts you study and research you do, if you don’t have patience then you aren’t fit to invest or trade in crypto market or any other stock market.

Patience can said to be the key for success in crypto trading. Although one can earn significant profit if he/she understands the market trend and trades accordingly.

Trading crypto currencies in fiat money is always a good idea. It can save your money in time and as well as help to increase the number of your holdings in time. If the market is going under correction, you must convert all you’re holding to fiat money in order to stop your loss and buy back later when the market is at its lowest point and is on the verge of recovering.

In this way you can increase the number of coins you hold and gain significant profit when the market recovers and goes bullish again. The movement of altcoins is usually related to the movement of BTC, therefore trading in fiat money proves more effective and helps gain more profit and increase one’s portfolio.

Indeed. Trading requires much more attention and skill to gain profit in short amount of time than investing and holding for gaining long term benefits. Trading is basically done to increase the numbers of coin holding that one has by selling the coins when the market is about to go bearish and enter correction and then buying again when the market is low and is about to recover and see bullish trend. By doing so, one can increase the number of coins her has and gain significant profit and much more than before when market goes for a bull run.

I make crypto investment decision when am guaranteed that the project am investing in will assist me in securing my future. Crypto investment is reliable and cool to invest in.
