Title: What are the most popular mistakes in Altcoin trading?
Post by: Ifeakinola on August 16, 2018, 07:54:57 PM
If you’re trading and you come across a nice uptrend, your instinct is probably to go full-in on this amazing uptrend. Why? Look closely: good movement, great moving average indicators - and it’s curving almost exponentially, which means a massive & rapid increase in price. What could go wrong? Okay, a few minutes later! So lesson #1, never, ever buy a vertical uptrend, there’s ALWAYS a reversal. BUY THE DIPS, NOT THE SHOOTING STARS. Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.

The answer to your question is in your post already, in other words we can say that the simple trick is to never get trapped in fomo and likewise never panic sell infact both of these situations are asking opposite action that is sell high buy low.

The biggest mistake in trading Altcoins is panic.

Now Altcoins are very much cheaper, but the growth will be even more rapid.
 It's worth a while to wait

I think it is incredibly unreasonable to risk too much to lose as I think it is, even in the simplest trade. I will have to take the risk, but I always think I need a plan B.

Another mistake people do is buying altcoins  when they see the price of bitcoin rising. They hope that the price of altcoin will also go up, but actually the total opposite thing happens. We see the price of altcoin actually falling when the price of bitcoin starts to rise. This is because people starts to "dump" their altcoin and rush into investing on bitcoin which causes the price of altcoin to drop and the price of bitcoin to rise.

buying the altcoins at pump and selling those coins at dump and feeling panic every now and then when the market crashes market patience is needed

That's exactly my investment strategy, I don't buy coins when the price is going up quickly, I always wait and buy the coins at dip and wait for the price to go up so high for me to sell off again.

A nice trading advice would be: "Buy when everyone else is selling and sell when everyone else is buying". But hey, I'm not a trader per se, so what do I know. I red that somewhere and it seemed like an interesting strategy to hold on to.

Coins bought at the wrong time can lead to big money losses. A third or four weeks ago, a friend invested heavily in a coin that had risen in price too much and lost 80% of his money.

I think, the most popular mistakes is they are buying if the price of one crypto is starting to increase, or means by increase by some sort of hype and demand. but it is really risky which means that its price might dump anytime.

The OP is right to an extent and it is most times applicable to trading, but i hgave seen instances where investing in uptrend can still be profitable, most especially for pump and dump coins.
