I suffered losses in recent days, and I decided to stop trading for a while. While looking for capital to return to the market. Shut up to strategize and take compensation for recent losses. Have you ever lost continuously and lost enthusiasm? Thank U.

Sigh! I still can't find the trick to trading myself ,every time I trade I always end up losing my coins ,I've stop trading for a while as well

Yes and perhaps I assume you were a little eager to get in the trade and missed the support levels
But still, gather the experiences, note them down and learn

Was the loss because you got in too early ? Or was it because you didn’t sell sooner ?
Figure it out and be better

I compared trading to gambling, there are just some bad days where we lost in a streak and that is just normal in this world. That's a good thing that you stop for a while and review what is going wrong and plan a strategy on your comeback.

Is this post suppose to be in the section of the board? Well losses are part of cryptocurrency and also part of investment in general. You can only curtail your losses by being more observant and tactical in your investment plans and objectives

And laid out the reasons why you failed in those days. Review your actions and assess which of those actions might influenced the most of your failure. At least, next time you know what you need to watch out for. Evaluating the situation would greatly help on your next battle. Don't lose hope. It is not the end of the game yet.

Actually you will never lose if you do not sell coins that you bought before at a cheap price, if you wait and save the coin to a more expensive price then you never lose but you are too rushed to make decisions so you lose,  better before doing trade first understand how to trade well

You did the right thing to stop trading. Sometimes you need to rest from the market and just relax if interest is lost most likely it is fatigue and in such cases you can lose even more as the person tries to compensate for the loss and starts to rush, which leads to even bigger mistakes.

That is correct, the worst thing you can do now is get straight back into trading. You will just make more mistakes under pressure. Trading is not for everyone, you need an oasis of calmness and patience  ;D

You can stay involved in the crypto-scene by investing small amounts (say 100USD or whatever you can afford) per month, into promising altcoins. There are numerous benefits to this strategy, namely while researching your 'coin of the month' you can keep your knowledge up-to-date by researching the coins that are out there, and you will be ahead of the game when the bull market starts $$$  ::)

Yeah better to stop for a while until your emotions are gone, or ready to move on. I understand your situations, I've there too. Now, when the mind is all cleared up, learn from eperiences. Successful traders had losses too, but never give up.

How could you lose recently? The market has been great the past two months.  I'm honestly very curious.

If you are someone who jumped in early 2018, then I can understand the losses.
But if you jumped into crypto anytime in the past 7 months you should be making a lot of profit.
Perhaps you have been doing risky investments?

At this point, I would say that risky is not the way to go.
Altough the market has been doing good, it's not to the point where icos/ieos/low market alts are worth taking the risk.
If you stick with just three major coins, you should be good, like btc, bnb, and eth.

Buy low sell high, stick to fixed percentages and you will be good.

during 2018 I suffered very heavy losses but I did not lose my enthusiasm because I understand what a cryptocurrency market is.

I'm sorry for your loss. It is one of those ups and downs in life, it is good you sit back and restrategize before moving in to trading once again. It involves a lot of skills so that you will not make losses once again.

It's very stressfull for me to trading, I prefer to buy and hold until I'm comfortable to sell
It's to much stress, anxiety, time-consuming

Stop or relaxing is a better way for you to go. Anyway, that is not gambling that you are continuously losing, you can stop in trading and I think a huge loss there if the market is down, of course, the value of your coins will drop also. You can stop and hold your coins on the exchange which is much more easier. Temporarily stop is not regrettable especially when market price down too much and you can come back when the bullish market will come.

When I started trading, I lost a couple of times until I discovered the trading pattern that works best for me. I'm good with my TA and also trade with FA, but I'm not usually greedy sitting my trades, I cash out when I see reasonable gains depending on the market depth. Market depth should guide you a lot, that's if you can study it to understand market emotions.

Correct decision to stop trading, but do not stop totally. The market is still on the bullish period. Few days ago, there was a slight bearish trend that probably one of the causes of your losses. Better to regain your mentality to catch up.

I think it's wrong, if we have to stop trading when we suffer losses. I personally when I experience such things I study the trade history that I did before, so that I can determine the next step. so the point is we need to learn more about the current and previous market conditions.

Im never have that experience but i ever lost hope and dont want to check market. Those who lost big amount i think will traumatic but only the stronger will suffer. Dont give up. Temporarily stopped trading also good strategy,we need calm down our mind and find the wrong.

Crypto prices usually tend to swing a lot. A good piece of advise would be to buy low and sell high, then again when do you know when the price is actually "high" and "low". How much did you lose?

I am on the way to stop participating in the bounty, since over the past year I have received little benefit from cryptocurrency. The new year has begun and the situation has not changed.

Great decision if you are suffering loses need to take break to analyst your mistakes cause of lose of money, we should this week day bitcoin are quickly drops their price and of course the ither coins are affected of this minimal dumping of bitcoin.

Don't be greedy to take profit, that makes you experience losses continuously, when I am greedy I also like that to suffer a big loss, but I have understood now, a little profit every day to make consistent profits every day

Im not a pro trader but I just always go for the known coins like doge, eth, btc and other popular coins,Its like this when btc will be in hype doge will go down and that is the time when you will buy doge and after btc go down doge will go up now thats the time to sell your doge

I think it is okay to pause and relearn the things we need before we do trading. Trading is not just exchanging coins or tokens but we should know the right strategy. We need also to be updated on different news about the token or coins because it will significantly affect the price of the token or coins.

When trade fail we need to be calm to handle those errors in the most effective way. Earning profit doesn't need to be quick, but you need to have a new creation to be able to earn long-term profit. In my opinion, supplementing knowledge is essential during this time and if you can learn new things then you will definitely become a good trader so instead of earning profits then you should prepare yourself the best

+1, I'm also prefer buy and hold rather than trading, I've try it before, but everytime I buy then price drop, when I sold it then price up, I'm lose too much money in trading, it's too hard for me to analysis the market.

yes, the market is currently not in good condition for trading. it has been very volatile these past few days and I have experienced continuous losses and I have been forced to stop trading until now.

Good move, when you already not feeling comfortable with the results of your trades, taking some rest will helps you out to find the rhythm back, you don't need to push everything and rush it out,take some time and try to learn from those mistakes that brought loses to your trades.

Traders break is needed to avoid being completely burned out, relax and fine time for your self to unwind.

yes I personally have experienced something similar to what you feel right now, losing a lot of money in trading makes me frustrated but I don't stop doing it later. behind the failure there will be the best way for the future.

During my early days of crypto, I lost a lot of money in crypto but, those losses thought me few valuable lessons like always DYOR and never ever trade emotionally not doing those two things could get you REKT easily.

Many of the newbies in trading including me have suffered what you have experienced at this moment.

When I experienced this situation, I stopped trading too and find a way to recover my losses and when I recovered my losses I didn't trade anymore until one time that I felt that I want to trade :D. At this moment, I'm still trading but not that active already.

There is not necessarily good or bad times to join or invest in cryptocurrency. There is only relatively good or bad time for this. It is up to you to decide whether you want to cease joining cryptocurrency for a while. But in my view, you can look to alternative to recover your losses. Like engage in day to day trading or join bounty campaigns.

Once, at that time I also did the same thing as you did, stopped trading and collected while designing good trading strategies so as not to suffer the same losses

cyrpto trade is currently still profitable for me, but if I am in your current position it is better to pause and think about raising money or occasionally trading for a small fee. yes this is the risk of trading, but I still like this because it's more profitable

I have lost money on a number of smaller altcoins. But these losses never made me to quit the crypto sector. Losses and profits are part of any investment plan. I have faced losses from investing in other sectors as well (such as equities and mutual funds). The problem is that we think too much about the past losses and ignore the trades which gave us good profit.

It's no problem if you want to stop trading for a while and maybe that is a good decision for you, especially if you think that you are suffered from the losses in recent days. Sometimes, I stop trading too if I feel that the market is running somewhere and I cannot predicting the trend. But I never lost enthusiasm for trading, and I continue trading in the other days because trading is my way to make money. I hope that you can start trading again in the next day after you feel you are ready to trade.

I agree with your opinion, but I do not agree with this that not all traders can forget the losses in the past because that is a difficult thing even if you have experienced a large loss. but whatever it is in the form of investment or trade we must always remember the consequences too.

The risk of trading is huge, especially the bitcoin price is not stable yet before the market, but you can still earn with the strategy of buying long-term and potential altogether tokens or altcoins.

One important but often overlooked part of trading is patience. Many coins are cyclic in price vs BTC, so sometimes if a trade starts going the wrong way all you have to do is wait until the trend reverses. It doesn't always happen, and it requires some courage, but it is a strategy worth considering.

How much is your total loss? In the past few days the market has dumps but low levels of about 5-10%. I believe this is an acceptable risk. I wonder what did you do in the past day that made you stop all operations in Crypto?

That was unfortunately for you. I know it is because the market is red again in recent days.
Trading crypto coin is not easy as stocks, the market cannot be predicted easily.
I haven't lose my enthusiasm toward cryptocurrency because i believe crypto will bring profit.

I think that cryptocurrency is predictable for short-term trading.
As for losses. Yes, you need to stop and view your trades. I usually take screenshots with arrows, where the time and price of the trade are visible. This allows me to see mine mistakes, as well as rebuild my trading system.

I sell too slowly and the train has left. I will save experience as knowledge in trade, for now I choose to pause. But it does not stop at long-term investment. Investment and trade are very different right? Thanks.

I think you took the right decision to stop trading, all you need to do now is learn more, also attach yourself with people who you think are good, you could also learn one or two strategy from them. Also look at your trading pattern to see if you can detect what you have been doing wrongly, all these could help you be a better trader.

I think the crypto trade is different from gambling. About luck, doesn't everyone have luck? It's just about the strategy of when to sell and when to buy in the right time. I agreed to evaluate the losses I experienced, but did not agree with gambling. Thank you!

I don't think holding a crypto assets without trading it's advisable. You can still make higher profits from trading. Though not as much profits expected cos of the market instability.

I didn't stop trading, I only stopped visiting this site for a while. But looking at the market, why would you stop trading now that everything seems fine? The price rises and drops alternately which is a good profit points.

during decline in prices since 2018 I have suffered a lot of losses and since then I decided not to trade I only planned to save the assets that I have in ethereum and bitcoin and will return when the market stabilizes

that was good, a "revenge trade" was not a good thing to do when you desperate to have a profit after a serial of losses.

If I on your position definitely i will take a break for a while and just take a vacation or something until I in the mood again.

I think every investor and trader have this experience but many of them give up and not coming back to trade. Trade is not easy in market because the price always move with high fluctuation and i think we better learn technical skill first before start trading

Indeed, when i got loss on my trade, i am prefer stop and lear more about technical analysis and evaluate my trading style. Revenge and want returning our losses as soon as possible is very dangerous because we trade with our emotion and not based on analysis

It gets to a point when I think back and feel it's time to take a break. This usually happens when all seems to be going sideways, nothing forthcoming. But like they say, quitting is never an option when it comes to making profits.

yes, trading is risky and trading is simple word but need a high skills
and people should learn about how to be a good traders first before earn from their trading activity my friend
also don't be greedy and always cut your lost short,  ;)

Loss is one thing to expect in crypto. Its very evident. You don't have to beat yourself up for that and decide to quit. You get and determine to do much better and be more alert.

capital doesn't return to the market, it is already in the market and not going out. you just have to try and see where it is instead of just looking at one place (like the top altcoins) and then expect them to be the only thing that gets pumped and then complain when you lose money.

the fact is that traders in altcoin market will never stay in one altcoin, only bag holders will. they move to different coins to pump them and take the profit out as fast as possible to eventually go back to bitcoin with a much bigger capital.

I think everyone feels that way, especially in the bear market. I think that we should not give up the market is slowly but surely recovering. Bitcoin halving is coming soon. I think that bitcoin will start to grow very much and will pull the whole market of altcoins.

Always remember that loss is one thing to expect in cryptomarket and its very evident. You don't have to beat yourself up for that and decided to quit. As the market was so huge and has alot of project to trade with like the dencoin tokens which has a great factor of benefiting investors, if ever you are experiencing a lot of losses never hesitate and never feel bad about it. Cause in one loss, you can still have a lot of profit in return. Just try to look for a better project as I have said already about the dencoin tokens. This usually happens when all seems to be going sideways, nothing forthcoming. But like they say, quitting is never an option when it comes to making a profits. You just need to be patient and make more hardworks and you will see, all of it will be payed of in time.

But I think crypto trading will be easier than stocks trading because we have so many opportunities to make a profit and it's not only one or two sources that will help us to make money. Besides that, we can only learn one indicator or analysis, and we can use it for our daily trade, and if we can master the skills, we don't have a problem to determine when the right time to trade.

If you have a full-time job then taking a break from crypto trading will not affect so much to your trading activity in my opinion. Crypto traders should be emotionless due to the volatile conditions and taking a fresh start will be good for professional traders.

Thats a wise move though. If you feel you need to rest then you should than dealing with wrong decisions that can trigger more losses. As per what you do with the situation, i assume you are already in trading for years. Its harf to quit with a fixed mind and newbies lacks with it. You should rest and take back losses after.

Isn't stopping for you to breath and take some time to lose some steam because of your losses is one of the things a trader should do? If a person will be aiming to be a trader one should always know their limit, because if they will still try to make it up to their losses then the will lose more as their mind is clouded and the pressure will pile up.

There is no reason to stop trading. Everyone has experienced a loss. With that experience when returning to trading, never experienced a big loss and even made a profit. Because everyone has their respective strategies in trading. So nobody can forbid trading except ourselves.

To stop your daily trading is good when you get profit also when you get loss. It's necessary to make an evaluation when you have done with day trading, because it will make you learn how you get profit when the result your day trading is profit and otherwise. Sometimes I feel the theory of trading is not much, the lot is learn the reports when you have done a trade.

When I started trading I kept losing funds until I understood the best trading style for myself. Take profit when need be, don't always wait for 10x or 20x. Try to be good with TA, also work with FA

I remember sometime ago when I decided to venture into Cryptocurrencies trading and I chose to start with low cap coins because they have been known to perform miracles once in a while, it seems I selected all the bad coins in the market and I got rekt real good, since then I have abstained from trading.

Timing is important for traders. they must also have entertainment. not all the time is drained just to see the market. we can stress if we only focus on the market.

for daily traders I think they will focus on only about 1-2 hours. but they will choose the time that has the best moment to start their trade. because it is impossible for them to see the market at any time of the day.

That’s your privilege to stop crypto trading because you experienced the loss. But my suggestion is just stop it for a while and still monitoring about cryptocurrency. Because we don’t know when the market will raise and be profitable.

It's not bad taking a break if you really feel to pause. But always remember that being in the marketplace theres a chance that you may encounter losses, but never lost hope in trying  again to gain more profit into the other good and valuable projects like the dencoin tokens. Try and try, search and join as long as you can see a good possibilities of the project that may benefits you in the mere future investments.

I did lost but I still trust my coins up until now since I only invested on top coins and they are going to be worth it in long-term hold. Probably bitcoin is not yet skyrocketing like what happened in 2017 but I am still hoping for more in the next few months since I am hoping for another bull run. I just kept on looking for opportunities in different ways like ICOs, IEOs and bounties.

I have also lost in trading during the 2018 and now stop trading since Feb 2019 and waiting for market stabilization.As soon as market become stable i will again start trading.

I have done the time to trade. too focused on the market is also actually not good because we can actually be stressed due to seeing graphics
we will be mentally disturbed and we should be patient.

I have experienced it. the steps you take are correct and set other strategies so that you don't experience greater losses.

I did stop trading but not to let it go but to hold!
It is better to hold now and make sure to get the best profit in the near future as bullrun is getting done now.
Well, actually we are seeing great graph of the market now.

I lost my interest in trading when it disposed me of my time to for friends and family and rather resorted to investment and maybe bounty hunting some valuable projects

I HODL'd my bittrex account from the ATH in 2017 right through 2018 and still have it. It sucked big time to watch my savings get reduced by like 90%+ in value but it didn't stop me from continuing to trade. There's always another opportunity to make/lose money :)

It takes courage to lose continuously and still continue to trade, it's not in the nature of human to lose and still continue and behave as if nothing has happened.
I think you need a break just as you have done.

My friend trader often shares with me stories about trading. He told me that he never stops trading and continues even when he continuously loses money.

I am currently studying technical analysis to follow the path of trading with margin. If at any time my order is lost or liquidated, I will stop and wonder why I have encountered such a problem and make a change.

it already smells like some kind of dependence on cryptocurrency and trading.  As for me, this is really a profitable topic.  but you are also right very often and you can lose a lot in this game. Sometimes you need to take off rose-colored glasses and go out into reality and really assess your capabilities.

I you stopped your trading activities then you are not going to recover your losses,you are just conservative from further losses but as real trader these losses are just common so continue to concentrate on crypto trading then keep making more profits will actually nullifies your current loss.

well it really hard to trade when im still trading i loss a lot of time in some trade
sometime you need to accept it and look for better opportunity
trading give a lot of stress when you lose some money but it also fun when you gain some profit
 

I haven't lost during trading too much but I lost during the holding periods. For example I had a decent chunk of money during the 2017 peak and sold all my coins close to the all time high which was the best thing I have ever done in my life, after that I earned and got some more bitcoins during the bear market until summer as well and then the price started to drop, so from last years June to almost couple months ago I worked and earned and got bitcoins but since it went down in price I lost money from it.

It wasn't trading but it was still a huge loss since I didn't do anything to lose money, I was just holding my bitcoins doing nothing and just gathering more bitcoins yet even though I had more bitcoins I lost more dollars every week. Unfortunately I had some bad things and had to sell all my coins which meant I lost money and couldn't even recover.

I've been thinking about leaving cryptocurrency all 2018 and I had no interest in cryptoindustry. But I stayed and just watched the cryptocurrency. I ended up making a good profit now.

I almost quit crypto trading for permanently in 2q of 2018. I almost do nothing since then, just following the new projects and trends. Waiting for to bull season come. Because i can’t follow all day crypto due to my real life work.

This was happen me and i think we should thinking about building strategy. I am believe when people trading, they had losses experience and with that losses we knew our mistake and build new trading strategy

That has gone way past dependence and into addiction territory my friend,,, if you are really a friend it is time to tell him that you and others should intervene. Trading is not as easy and profitable as everyone claims. Get this into his head and make him accept it.

And then show him what the money can also buy. Good memories, experiences,,, buy a few crypto and forget about it and enjoy life.

yes when I was newbie that time I lost my money continuously in trading, but it's ok I've learned my mistake, just careful what you buying a crypto make sure it is a potential.

Trading strategy is key, you should decide your entry and exit and stick to the pattern while learning the market dynamics, the market is not favorable all the time that is why it is not good to stay in for too long, Making use of the charts is often helpful

I think you made the right decision, because if you only had losses in cryptocurrency trading, then you started doing something wrong, so it’s best to stop and think through all your actions that were done incorrectly and which led to the loss of money.

taking brake when made loss is good just dont do trading with that lost mind chill for some days observe for some days and start trading again 

As a rule, if people independently begin to understand their mistakes, they simply stop to be engaged in something forever. Better to talk to the professionals

I have felt it all, but we also have lots of friends who can deduce the argument we are suffering from being able to solve everything so that our problems are not sure that we have to look back to be as before
The point is that we are being tested right now

I loss big in trading by investing in the wrong coin, but am just buying low price coin now and hoping I hit big on them. I bought some BOMBs and sold too quickly and all of a sudden it shot up to $10 per coin. I will hit soon. Still buying low price coins.

I also suffered a lot of losses in 2016-2017. Most of the altcoins I buy end up scam and are of no value at all. I started again by trading at binance, buying IEO coins and starting little by little the profit I got.

If you have to stop, just try to at least hold the coins you see that is still keeping the price and development going. Stop trading will be a wise decision because there is no assurance yet where the market is going. It could actually go below $5k this time if they really will push those holders to sell.

A very good step by investing in IEO binance. With the losses you get in 2016-2017, it is certainly a very valuable experience when you want to do trading activities again. So if you want to trade in the future, of course you already understand good altcoin and scam. I might follow in your footsteps to invest in IEO at binance.

just a bad day for you man. when the market is unstable, many people are actually making money. maybe you are not patient in making decisions. try to take a little profit, don't be too greedy because miss a seconds the price can change instantly.

It's up to you on your tactic, however I consider crypto trading a brilliant way to make money. You lose on trades on a regular basis, this sort of experience would be extremely frustrating. A break may fulfill your lost enthusiasm. I do practice the same wahy as I had some awful history!

Each trader had such a situation when he lost on the purchase of certain tokens, but this is not a reason to give up trading, but on the contrary, there should be an incentive to work out their losses, so as to learn from mistakes.

therefore it is important for us to choose the right assets in trading. most people are trapped in daily trading. because of the wrong choice of assets. daily trading has a risk of loss, and we must take it and switch to another asset that is better. keep learning don't give up.

Looks like you are a day trader to incur these kind of loss even when the market is riding higher, there is nothing wrong in having enthusiasm, usually over confidence could drag you in a loss, if you are dealing as a day trader then you have to change on how to make use of the market and look for the long term rather than looking for small profits in a short period.

well everyone will overcome it, not giving up on everything is the most important thing. stay, try and don't give up.
indeed the market conditions are now unstable but still be sure if someday you will get it back.believe that

No.

If I lost, I'm planning well for my comeback and on how I should recover those losses. If there's no plan made during those times that when I'm in losses, I'm just going along with the cycle. Buying at dip, selling at profit and that's all. A cycle that never ends.

Don't get too emotional because if you do, you're dealt for more losses.

yes this is the right time to stop trading while looking at the chaotic market conditions. up and down so drastically and cannot be predicted at all. I better monitor market conditions and do bounties.

I think it is worth stopping the trade only when the market gets very strong fluctuations, but this is not a big period and even it gives you the opportunity to make money. And in a stable period, you just have to catch the price jumps and earn money on small volumes, not much, but for that it is stable ...

Look at things positively. You are not the only one who makes mistakes. There are people who have gone your way and now earn quite a lot of money. Think about how you are different from them? How do you become like them?

I think if indeed you are experiencing a loss and you are unable to continue it then you really should stop for a while. You can pause to stop the loss you have suffered. If indeed you have to find capital to return to the market then you should now develop the right strategy to return to the market and trade in a healthy manner. You have to learn from the crypto currency market movements and then just develop the right strategy and risk management to anticipate the negative things that happen in the crypto currency market.

The problem with trading is that everyone expects to profit out of it. But in order for you to get a positive return from trading, someone else has to lose his capital. So there is a 50/50 chance. You should always keep it in mind and be ready to bear the losses in case your trade goes wrong. Even experienced traders have only 55% or 60% success rate.

I've also experienced things like you and that can't make me give up but growing my curiosity, when I experience a loss, I have to pause to look for the right moment and keep learning from previous experiences,

first of all,I am sorry for your loss and I know that feeling. I have experienced it before and many times, I. Just want to quit but just can't and all I have to do is look for funds and get back to trading again. Don't loose hope everything will be fine before you know it

you choose the right choice, never rush and panic when you lose money. pause, and start thinking mistakes and learn from mistakes will give us experience. it will make the next trade we can receive profits or return the initial capital.

To realizing someone in order to he must have a patient when facing unstable market in cryptocurrency it's useless. Because the market cryptocurrencies are not stable, it's different with the other market such as forex or stock. You have to get used to dealing with markets like this every day and even more volatile than the market now. Agree to someone who says volatile markets are the most beautiful market for a trader, you only need a few minutes to make a profit.

I've made more money trading crypto than I have lost, so net net it has been very positive. A few times I have hit a huge loss, but that is kind of rare. In the long run you will most likely make money trading crypto.

I think you have chosen a bold step. I see no reason why you continue trading despite the fact that you have seriously lost some certain percentage of your coin. This decision actually differentiate you from a Gambler. A Gambler will continue irrespective of losing until he actually lose everything. I believe most traders have actually faced this at one point or the other. It has happened to me also and most time I pulse and wait until the market for the coin i am holding actually recovered. Most time it takes twice the time i have used to doubled the coin i am holding.

So how is this not trading going to help you recover your losses? You made a loss, that's not a big deal. People make losses when trading. You can't be making a profit forever. Instead of stopping trading for a while, why not just lower your capital and try covering your loss by making small, less risky trades? This way, you won't be wasting any time but will also be making profit.

It is better not to even start trading if you are not ready for the fact that you may lose some of your cryptocurrency investments. Trading in this respect is comparable to the casino, where they go, realizing the possibility of losing their money. Sometimes you need to stop and think. You need to be morally ready for this, otherwise, it will be very difficult to work.

I also suffered some loss in trading until i found Binance exchange . It was the exchange who redeem little of my loss . There are competitive trading on the Platform . Am not advertising the exchange but just sharing my experience .There are some better coins for trading on the exchange  which could fetch some profit. One only need to do their personal research before picking any coins or token for trading . I think that platform is still ok for a day trader willing to make profit.

I am not alone, who suffered heavy losses in trade, but you are one of them. Yes, but I remember this is a risk in this field, so the initial failure does not mean we are afraid to go forward / stop trading. but stop for a moment then learn from the first mistake. and I will do it again until I find my own strategy to benefit from this trade.

yeah i feel that too, i loss half of all my asset in cryptocurrency because i am noob trader.
i just want to learn to be trader without mentor and don't look signal market from community.
it happen and it is time to stop to trade for me, maybe i just want to hold for now.

Perhaps you suffer losses due to lack of experience in trading.  We need a full analysis of where the mistake was made so as not to repeat them in the future.  I consider the decision to suspend trading to be not the best idea, since it is necessary to accumulate experience, and this cannot be achieved without constant monitoring of the cryptocurrency market.

In my case something different happened. For several years I obtained very positive results, but this led me to become excessively overconfident, which gradually led me to take greater risks and suddenly I found that I had lost all my capital.

Only when I found myself with a zero balance, I decided to take a long break and only recently I have encouraged enough to return to trading, but now assuming a very conservative profile, strengthening my money management and setting realistic and achievable goals.

Shying away from trading because of your losses is not the solution. Had it been you took necessary precaution before investing in any coin, it would not have gotten to the extent of abruptly backing out. Invest only what you can afford to lose, even in trading. If you have $100 to invest, you can divide it into two places and invest the first part first, leaving the other for any unforeseen circumstance.

I always profit and lose trades in the market but I don't despair because I make this a lesson. I myself have lost almost 80% of my money at the beginning of my trade but I got up because I will get my money back

Yes, I experienced the same thing as you throughout 2018. And I realized that it is best to pause, if I continue to trade I will make many mistakes in the pressure of losses.

Not only one time. It was very difficult to look at my portfolio and to see that from 5k USD there are only 300 left. There was a lack of motivation in 2018, but it seems like the situation is slowly recovering and there are a lot of green days in front of us.

I do not stop trading permanently, but I am still waiting for capital from other places. You are right, the current conditions are indeed quite good, but for those who have great strategies in trading. Maybe next month I will start trading again from a small scale. And I have never felt tired of the loss, for me the loss is a reasonable right. Because I also ever experienced profits.

The last time I experienced  very huge lost was in Forex trading and since that time that I pulled out, I have really not gotten myself back together for trading, because that loss for me was really a huge one that crumble me financially. When the opportunity of cryptocurrency came, and after having a full understanding of how it works, I just decided to stick with holding, which to me is still the safest way to stay secured in this crypto investment.

The cryptocurrency market is too volatile now for us to be trading and sometimes, no matter the strategy we have, we will still lose out. So staying away is good but I think it is best you go into holding instead of resuming trade back.

Yes I also experienced that. In crypto, its actually unavoidable, specially in this time when the market is very down. The important thing is you learn from those losses and make better decisions next time. I never quit but I alwas make sure I will not make the same mistake again.

Gain always goes along with loss you can't be gaining and you should still be expecting loses but what matter most is how prepared is you for the loss ,

It's okay to take a break for a while, relaxation and peace of mind is needed to be in your corrected senses, trading is not easy and emotional control is necessary to avoid huge losses, but don't give up just take a little break then after that continue repeat the cycle then you will eventually become better

Compare others market like forex or stocks market, i think crypto market is more volatile. Doing trade in crypto market could be profitable if we have experience to analysis market movement but for people who dont understand technical analysis, its very high risk and this market still unregulated in many country

Crypto trading needs careful and complete understanding of the market. Since it's volatile in nature, monitoring the market and keeping yourself updated is one of the things you can do to avoid profit losses. Temporarily stopping your trading strategies might be beneficial for you to assess your trading mistakes. If you want to be a successful trader, you have to be patient and keep your cool even if you are on a verge of losing everything. Always keep in mind to invest money you can afford to lose and be smart in where to place your bets.

I think the author of the post just need to change the activity.If you can not trade at a profit,it is likely that You are doing something wrong.If you can not trade then start investing or engage in mining.

All of us have experienced this. I lost big money in 2018. But if we stop trading, it will be difficult for return capital to lose. It would be nice if you trade with the remaining capital, this will return your lost capital slowly.

 I did this alot as a newbie trader. It is why it's necessary to always have enough funds reserved in Stablecoin so that you can buy more cryptocurrency when there are big dips in price. 
When the price starts going up again, you gradually start building up your Stablecoin reserve

taking action to stop trading for a moment in conducting crypto trading is indeed highly recommended to avoid the risk of losses that continue because it is feared that it will be wrong to take action. I agree that experiencing losses in crypto trading is natural because not everyone can continue to benefit from trade in this field, surely there will be people who feel disadvantaged and benefit in conducting cryptocurrency trading.

On the contrary, I just want to get experience from trading. I think that we will be able to have a cryptocurrency trading profit, only after more than 2 years trading experience.

It is very difficult to stop practicing cryptocurrency.  because you need to gain strength to enter it, and also you need to have patience to get out of there because I think that if you have already taken the path to go with the cryptocurrency you need to go all the way and do not lose it.

I lost enthusiasm for trading some months ago, surprising the market has continued an uptrend movement since that time. In as much as I'd like to be back, I don't think I'm mentally up to it.

when everyone will lost their minds from btc.bitcoin will start jump.this is going to be happened.only real and strong enthusist of trader will gain and others will be loser :)

I believe that the cryptocurrency will not stop its existence, at least now because now it has just a period of growth and development in the world.

The incident reminded me to be more patient in taking action.  At that time I made a mistake when buying coins without thinking, and now from that incident is my experience to be more careful in being tempted to buy coins that are hot.  At the moment I'm just waiting for the price of ETH and BTC to rise, ensuring that the market will be safe and maybe with that experience to be more vigilant in trading.

Certainly, I used to lose both confidence and enthusiasm many times. It happens to everyone. It does not mean that you must quit trading.  take a break. Think over the mistakes that were already done not to repeat them.

of course I've experienced that too, but what I do when my coin goes down is hold until the price goes up again, because I never sold my coins when the price down and made me lose (panic sell) and my suggestion for you if you want to trading is when the price of coin you invest increases by 6% - 8% it is a good time to sell the coin (to minimize the risk you have), because when the price has increased by more than 8%, the coin price can down dramatically and of course it will make you lose if you haven't sold the coin and still hold it.

Think over and try to re assess everything in a much deeper understanding, not everyone really have the skills of becoming a good trader, but the
position of enhancing your skills is for everyone to be gained, you need to apply everything that you've learned, practice and execute if you get the
chance to trade even in a small capital.

Very often, sometimes we have to take a break in front of the monitor, so don't be too emotional if you experience a loss, always control and do good money management. When we experience a loss then compensate and lose again, that's when you have to rest calm your emotions and thoughts. I think you have made the right decision, don't trade when your mind starts to mess.

It happens to many people, and I think that is normal, but we can prevent that thing to not happens in the future. We need to learn how to prevent the losses so we can come back to make a profit. But if he wants to take a break for a while from trading, then it might be good for him because, with a break for a while, he can do another thing that will refresh his mind and that will help him when he wants to back to trading again in the next days.

Having technical skill is very necessary, with this people will learn to be able to read and interpreta chart which is still the best way to trade successfully in this volatile market. Technical skill is also not so easy to acquire, it requires lots of study and full understanding, and also the trader needs someone that will be able to break down the study into simplest form for the trader to understand how to use technical analysis.

I really do not have much strength for all this, which is why I would prefer to join people who believe in Holding, holding is just still the best offer the market has ever presented to those who cannot trade their coins.

yes if you have suffered a large loss in trade it would be nice to stop first in trading. You need to examine each coin you want to trade first and if you have found a coin that is worth it then you can do it again to cover the losses that you have experienced before.

I have experienced a big loss and sometimes I do get bored of involving in cryptocurrency. But I do not have any other option than recovering my losses from the crypto market itself. So my hope of recovering my losses and earning some money will always encourage me to keep going and going. So I want to ask all not to get fed up, but just move on.

Yes, we can always analyze our mistakes. We always have the opportunity to develop their skills or surrender to our losses.
I always take screenshots of my trades. This allows me to study my actions on the market, outside trade, in an abstract way.

most of the traders after experiencing big losses will definitely be stressed or lose their trust including me personally one of them. the more I get emotional, the more I lose money, so when we lose we need to rest and think of new strategies before returning to trading.

In reality, sometimes giving space and refraining from trading will give our self so much realizations. We can easily specify which areas are we lacking, what strategies are we going to improve and what weaknesses or emotions should we not to include in every trades. There is nothing wrong if we take some rest as long as we still manage to stand up again and do tradings again. Never give up.

If you are just learning trading, it is normal, it is impossible to learn immediately without making mistakes and without incurring losses. I also started with this and suffered losses, but over time I began to understand how to keep the existing funds and multiply them with the help of trading. I am sure you still have everything ahead.

I've also experienced the same thing, and I feel that all traders have experienced it, and at that time I also stopped to trade and take a vacation for a few days to get rid of boredom

Yes, at the beginning of this year my enthusiasm dried up, and the balance of my portfolio drove me even more discouraged. but with the arrival of bulls on the market, all this has passed and now I make a profit and look for additional opportunities to earn on cryptocurrency. So I wish you all profit and do not give up.

Due to the fact that I do not have the opportunity to risk large sums before trading, I analyzed the market for a long time and was engaged in training with an experienced trader. Therefore, when I started doing this, I was lucky and I only went into minus a few times, but later I was able to fix it and already increased the initial deposit by 60%.

Maybe it would be more appropriate if interpreted by resting in working hours, even the engine in the factory must also be stopped when it has experienced a target. I think this is not much different from the strategy of trading cryptocurrency, if we feel tired or loss it would be better if we stop while reading the market conditions.

Sorry about your experience in crypto trading, I think you need to seek strategies from protraders and also to master your technical analysis very well. You should know that FA helps a lot and to reduce risk, you must always set stop loss. Avoid greed too, sell when need be, don't wait for hyperbolic gains.

if you're not comfortable with the trading then forcing yourself into the training will not give any success for you so if you take a break then it will definitely a huge mind set giving time at the time can definitely do perform well after the rest.

the continuous losses makes everyone confidence to be reduced so we need to be make sure to leave sometimes like a vacation it will change your mind and give me directions to you after that the losses will continue to reduce and the profit is quickly came to you

I think you should set your objectives right. If you are not meeting them, it means something is wrong and you aren't doing it properly. It could mean that you still need to be properly grounded in trading. If that's the case, then you need to take some time and learn the system again and try to find what works for you. This way, you will be comfortable with your strategy and stick by it.

I agree with you, it is better if we are tired in trading both in a state of profit and loss, then the thing we need to do is stop to rest and not return in a short time because it can have a negative impact in taking action if we continue to continue

Very often, enthusiasm is lost against the background of constant losses.It happens to me too. But basically I find it later when I see how my friends start earning.

How did you come to suffer such losses? I wonder how it happened. I also lost money in trading, but not large amounts. Maybe you really did something wrong. Moreover, you can not trade all your capital, you should always have money in stock.

To avoid it I don't trade in the prolonged bear market. If I was lucky to sell I wait for satisfying levels to enter and just hold from there. If I did not sell i walk away not to feel frustrated and still keep holding the coin if my losses are too big. I know it can be called bagholding but when you're down 80% on a coin you might as well hold and hope that the bear market is coming to an end.

I got lucky and bought some coins low in this bear market and then sold last month when the price was good enough.

I'm not so good in trading and hence don't bother to venture in it. I wish I could learn and try to gain some profits from it but I don't have that time it requires. Just learn more strategy and come back

I have always knew how risky trading can be, though very profitable for the whales and expect in it. Please, don't blame yourself or regret so much about your loss, it will only make you stronger. Quitting shouldn't be an option if you want to succeed and perfect in trading, study the market more, learn the tricks and you will succeed.

stopping in trading is indeed not the right reason. if indeed we want to succeed we actually have to do something that makes us successful. so don't back down on reality and circumstances. because the current situation is very risky for us all.

Yes. You are not going to win back all your losses if you just suddenly quit in trading. Never stop trading but keep on learning new strategies and skills in trading that will eventually make you a good and profitable trader. Trading also needs patience since learning in trading takes time too.

I have never traded so I have never felt a loss from trading, but by looking like you say, you need more knowledge, because knowledge and experience are very helpful.

trading follows market movements and we may have to move quickly so we don't lose good moments.

I think most of us here encountered that, being loss is part in our journey in crypto. So once we hited on that losses that the time we also improve and betterat the same time. Some failure people are the one got the success because they take the risk to face it with all courage.

Don't lose enthusiasm, if you have been in losses for a week or two stopping will be the best option. Take time to think of something better that you can apply to your trading technique otherwise you can just buy and hold and wait until the value of that coin goes higher. You can stop trading for the moment but you can continue buying if you are long term with some coins that you think will bring fortune to you one day. Everyone experienced losses but it's up on how you will look at it, as positive or negative learning.

you lose continuously in this time, i think this a best time for trading short time, but yeah if you dont have money you can't do that.
im not surprise if you lose when trading in 2018, but for now, maybe you need change your strategy.

I think your decision is very good, if the loss becomes continuous, then you should really take a rest and ponder over it, think of the best way to come back or better still take some trading classes again and do some trading reading, that should also help.

Nice words .. Always learning and honing skills continuously is the most appropriate way to become an expert (Profesional Traders) :)

Yes I have also experienced such,  the best thing that you can do for your self is to stop day trading,  stop following lots of telegram group signal calls,  most of the guys there don't understand technical analysis TA,  all what they do is guess work with, they post a lots of signals On a  daily basis thereby you get confused by knowing the one to choose,  it's better to be a solid project HODL gang than day trading

trying something with learning is a good thing to add to your knowledge and experience.
trying to be patient even though the conditions are not good and live quietly, Crypto can move better and to fix it it takes time and process.
of course there are many risks here so we must be vigilant and must be prepared for whatever will happen, deal well.

Yes, many have stopped trading,in General, many traders have already left the market,but when the movement goes up,most likely they will start again to come,and will increase with each moment,it's like a growing wave will be,so we are waiting for the beginning of market growth,and everything will be great,and growth in any case will be

That is a good decision. When you lose too much, relax. then you come back will have more new look on the market

Gain and loss are common things in cryptocurrency trading, why did you stop trading already ?
If you weren't stop, you might gaining profits. In crypto trading, some peoples loss, and some peoples gain,
for example this guy : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5149840.0

Trading involves either making profit or loss and it can take all your money to lose or a little to gain from trading. That is why the exchanges have implemented a stop-loss feature to help people from losing all their assets. If you keep losing, the best thing to do is to stop trading for some time and come back late. Some may not come back again but it's in their own interest.

Taking a small break can be a lifesaver sometimes from my own experience. Crypto markets are volatile and every trader can give back all winnings in a single minute or even faster than the blink of an eye in case of big ban stream by G10 countries.

Suffering from financial losses in crypto trading also has some upside: it prepares you emotionally for new opportunities (unless you literally gambled away your house...).

Funny you should ask. Before I became a successful trader, I have lost... countless of times. However, each loss has helped me in improving my strategy. What I have realized in my 4 years of trading is that you will lose, eventually. However, your next step of action after every loss depends on how much percentage of your account you lost, which in turn depends on how much you risk per trade. a person who loses all of his accounts entirely is most probably over risking/overleveraging. I have heard of traders who risk over 30% of their accounts per leveraged trade on bitfinex. That's hilarious!

So, yes, I have made a lot of losses in the past. However, I have moved past that now. I still make little losses of course. But these losses are very minimal and take a very insignificant part of my account. however, when I do profit, I profit big.

the key is to find a strategy that allows you to win big in case of good trades and lose small in case of bad trades. that's what my strategy is all about. Also, i simply don't leverage anymore. that's because in the real sense, leveraging in crypto can stop you out in a matter of minutes because of the high level of volatility. Hence, with this volatility,  you don't really need leverage to make a lot of money.

I hope you get back to crypto-trading soon. however, this time, it may be better for you to use a broader approach and think long-term.

Yes and actually I owe money for some people. I am going to decrease my leverage and now I changed my mind, because I lose capital due to high leverage. Reducing leverage will help me. Also I am taking part in traders competition

Now it is better to transfer Bitcoin to stablecoins for a time, because strong market volatility is possible.
get out of altcoins and just do not trade for some time, or at least with maximum stop loss

If it is only temporary stop, then you are waiting for something to resume your trading activities.
When will you back trading in cryptocurrency ? The market start to going better and green for now.
Loss only small amount is not a problem, as long as you can afford it.

Indeed the market started to show a good standing at this moment, but possible crash is expected to happen. This was the history when btc price still aiming to hit that $9K period, and now we're probably going to experience it again. That's a normal occurrence to happen, specially when some longer term holders need to dump an asset which they thought could provide them quicker profit gains.

I think you should learn the very fundamentals of trading that you need to have an extreme patience to survive in this industry. Investing on cryptocurrencies can be tricky especially on trading we really need to study like day trading can be hard to do if we don't have enough knowledge on it so we end up loosing every investment we made.

I think everyone already knows that. crypto trading is not like trading other assets. this market is very fast moving. if we lose the moment we can lose money. crypto trading is actually interesting, I also did it. but I prefer to trade daily, because it becomes safer for me to keep my assets in profit even though a little.

No, the answer is much simpler. It is not like trading other assets because cryptos simply are not like other assets. You can't apply standard models to evaluate them. Psychology and speculation clearly take the lead here.

Trade for free on my site and learn.
Fondamentals are everywhere the same.

have fun.

Real traders never left the market, those who started trading and realized that they could not cope with this task. Having lost enough money on trading errors, people return to their usual activities.

if Crypto can still be profitable, even if it's small, use it instead of doing nothing.
even though market conditions are rising and it is possible to trade this situation is not right but we must be able to make a strategy.
difficult if we don't understand because it's not easy to make a profit.

Somewhere I read, an interesting commentary from a crypto investor, that you suffer losses only if you sell your crypto assets at a price lower than the price at which you bought the coin. So no one has canceled the hold of the coins.  ;)

This theory only applies to a few coins,you should also listening to some opinions that says 90% Altcoin is a scam
Be a smart, And hodl coins that make sense.
Otherwise you will get burned like most people...

Hello! Yes of course, it's one of the things you just have to accept and find the way to support yourself. Detect where the mistske was and carry on!

It seems to me that trading on the cryptocurrency market is practically the same as trading on Forex or on other trading exchanges, because the main thing is to understand the principle of trading, through which you can make a profit.  but nevertheless, it is always worth paying attention to reputable professionals in order not only to learn from their mistakes, but also to learn from the successes of others.

I don't think it is like Forex trading because there is not a new USD or EUR every other day. In crypto there are new coins everyday.

Trading in the crypto market is different from trading in Forex or other markets. The high volatility of the cryptocurrency, a lot of manipulations and other tools do not allow traders to use the traditional trading principles.

Cryptocurrency market is so much down at this time. Many people lost money for this trading. But you to wait for a right time. We also crypto market is grow up.

new coins, new projects and new markets that are still very fresh. it makes me happy to trade. especially on new coins with rapid project development. it will benefit us in trade.

One factor that this venue of investment is differ from forex, though some sort of principle can be followed just like what the post above you mentioned, you can check and study those people who already have good knowledge about this market and try to use their experienced as a basis, you can follow
if you think that it's beneficial to your investment.

I understand that, in a short time. When you constantly lose in the crypto trade, you will feel inadequate, not confident. However, in trade, it takes more patience, sometimes waiting for more. I think you are impatient in your decisions. Choose the time to come back. I saw the affirmation with a LTC trip with great rewards on Huobi on the 19th. If this could make you feel like it and come back. welcome

If you experience a loss in trading, of course it is your own decision and in the future you must think so that you do not experience any more losses when trading. That's one example of the risk that we will feel when we trade. Therefore, you must have a good trading strategy if someday you return to trading.

we are thirsty to learn from experience because it is a very important thing we must do.
as long as you still want to try and not despair, in my opinion you are a person who has the potential to succeed because there are many people out there who fail and eventually stop forever.

in condition market from few month ago is not just you are loss money when trade in market.
on this year i just much money in trading because altcoin are going down deeped than i expected

You are not in a loss unless you handover your assets to others. Buy low sale high. What if you bought at higher price? Try to buy at each dip to reduce the diffrence. But never invest all of your money into single asset. Trading is always risky. But you will gain/loss in %%. 5%loss or 10%gain, means same in bull and bear market.

Unwanted things often occur especially when trading in unstable market situations so they can suffer losses. Trying to stop or continue is our own choice but what is clear is that when you start emphasizing it is better to stop first and wait calm again, always paying attention to market trends and developments because it is very important especially the Altcoin project.

I tried 3commas bot and it made a good returns, but only for a while. Then I started to be in a loss and I stopped with that.
I am not okay if I am loosing my valuable coins because think about future, now you loss 100$, but these 100$ could be after few years 10 000$.  :D

if you got losses continuously then stop your trading for sometimes will be very very good for your mind and your health also because when you continuously see the losses only in anything it will definitely not give the confidence for doing the trading properly that's why we are taking the rest and continue after some time will be very very good and I agree that.

Now the cryptocurrency market is the most speculative and new market. It can be compared only with the stock market. Trade is a science, and excitement,and luck. And you must be morally prepared for the loss of funds if you are engaged in this business. No one is canceled the rule of trade: invest as much as you are not afraid of losing .

So i think that one should take a break if it is not very easy or comfortable to trade the coins. It is not something to fight and is something that needs to be understood. So take your time and understand more about trading crypto and try to learn from a crypto trader who has been in the industry and has been making money in the game. This is how things work. Mistakes would lead you to loss.

And it seems to me that now is the time to trade! I, on the contrary, gladly returned to trading.
Yes, of course, I also had to lose my enthusiasm. But a break, switching to something else perfectly helps.

Almost all traders suffered the same fate as yours but real traders never gives up and considered their losses as a challenges to strive more. I also suffered several losses when I'm still a newbie in trading but giving up is not on my mind and instead I educate myself on many tools that are used in trading and learn many ways on how to trade profitably. It is a good choice to temporarily stop from a trading because of losses but try also to learn more on trading and develop your plan and strategies before you start trading again. Your experiences in trading should be your teacher.

Quitting does not resolve your lossing streak. Maybe you need to do some more research on what strategy to use in order to regain momentum in trading. Sometimes frequent monitoring in the market unto which coins to buy and to sell will also help minimize losses.

that's why in trading we need to learn about market for make transaction and start trading, without basic skill for analyze market condition it's like trying go to the forest without know the way for going back and die.

Maybe I once felt what you experienced Now, I lost because of the enthusiasm that I had but in the end I was able to get back up and be able to take advantage again and even exceed the losses that I experienced at that time, and until now I still do cryptocurrency trading  the point is never to give up.

To rest your emotions and work the brain, it might be better to stop trading while waiting for prices to improve and eliminate the guilt that is in the heart if the trade done is a loss.
There was nothing wrong with taking a break from crypto trading, and Rilex with his family to see the world which turned out to be very beautiful. So trading losses can be closed again in the future, when prices rise high.

It happens to each trader from time to time. The moment when a person can lose his confidence can come when no one expected it. As for me, it is really better to take a small break, but then, return to trading.

Trade for free...so have the fun and not the risk.

But then you have to factor in that they are intelligent and might use their experience to manipulate you into buying they want to sell. You can't copy smart peoples' success because they don't let you.

yes I agree with you, every trader must have experienced a loss, feeling tired and not confident anymore if it happens, you should rest to regain confidence to return to trading, I have experienced the same thing a few months ago but when I saw the market gain again, there is a little confidence to come back, because we have to accept the risk of becoming a trader from begining.

I also thin that there is not a single trader in the whole world who hasn't made losses at some point of the trading career.

I agree traders every day loses a large amount of money But every day and some of them earn, I would not say that this is bad life and you need to accept it

Sometimes it is productive for you to stop trading for a while. Yesterday I suffered -80% loss and I had balls to compensate this loss to -50%, so now I have at least chances to remain my portfolio

Yes, I have lost many times during the early days of the trader life. I was very lucky to win and was always confident that I would always be profitable in every transaction.
I lost more than 3k6 $ in the first 5 transactions and it helped me realize many things.
I have learned how to manage risk and that is the factor that helps me to be successful in trading many times recently.

This is a very big loss. sympathize with you. I also lost big money on margin trading. but now I have practically restored my portfolio
