l start trading Cryptocurrency in the year 2015 as novice, l read lot of books on forex trading such as "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques author by Steve Nison" which l integrate the knowledge l got from those books into Cryptocurrency.  l was mentor by great minds knowing when to buy and sell any Crypto Asset  and hodl Crypto Asset that have high future potentials. Cryptocurrency trading is divide into two analysis which are briefly discussed below

1.Technical analysis: this are time frame price action movement of a Crypto Asset base on history. chart are study carefully to know  how a Crypto asset have been trending within  a period of time.This chart can be in form of a candle stick  chart , line chart , bar chart . the chart i use is candle stick chart which helps me to know if the bears or the bulls are dominant in the market which is pointer . In technical analysis there are indicators that enhances my interpretation of the candle stick which are list below
i. RSI: this is the relative strength index . is the oldest of all indicators . this helps me to know when a coin is over bought or over sold
ii MA: this is the moving average that helps me to double check the average price movement of the coins/token
iii MACD: this is moving average convergence and divergence, this is the last indicator i used to test if a coin is at the support level or resistance level
 outside this indicator there are others  could help to enhance my trading such as  Bollinger Bands,stochastic ,Ichimoku Kinko Hyo etc .

2 Fundamental Analysis:these are factors that might influence the price movement of any Crypto Asset such factors are frequent announcement and update of the Crypto Asset in social media , political influence  ,economical influence.this is  the first analysis l do before trading to find out from news channel such as Coincheck, CNN, Cointelegraph about negative and positive news with respect to any Crypto Asset.This help me to no when coin is about to be pump or dump.

laws l use in trading
1. The coin must have a big market size before trading
2.  l trade only with what l can afford to lose
3.  l don't use emotions to trade
4.  l trade with Big exchanges
5   l use the stop loss features for trading

crypto asset l traded
1. NEO
2. BTC
3. XRP

Winning Strategy
i use three strategy that have make to increase my pofolio
1. volume : after my fundamental analysis l look for coins or token that have accumulate volumes and gathering momemtum
2. trending ; the trend is my friend after the laws of technical analysis have been broken .  
3. scalping : when i see that number 1 and 2 strategy is fulfilled i scalp .

Trading Time frame
l use the 30mins time frame to scalp

My Risk management
risk management enable me to manage my portfolio and control how much am willing to lose or gain per trade,  that is why l use stop loss . am ready to risk 10% of my porfolio to increase my portfolio by 25%. the risk ratio is 2:5 with respect to loss/gain.

Exchanges l have traded
l trade with big exchanges because of their features .
1. poloniex
2. binance
3. Bittrex

In conclusion my experience as crypto trader is that never be too anxious for price movement. Greed and Fear is the key factor that result to lost of Crypto Asset in trading .

Please kindly share your experience in trading so far  to improve a member of the forum skills in trading Crypto Asset

I agree that announcement might drive the price higher, but right now the market is highly ustable therefore I don't think it's the same as before. Granted, it will be higher, but even with binance listing the highest gain right now is approximately +-10% unlike before which was 50%+.

The same goes for cryptocurrency trading. Back then, all you need to do was just hodl, and you were guaranteed to profit (especially in 2017). But right now, if you hodl then you are guaranteed to loss (especially in 2018).

 In my opinion luck plays a game here. As long as you have a great timing it would be great definitely. The problem is, how to do the timing?

My experience is focused on one or two altcoins. Use TA to analyze their graphs, notice on buy volume weekly and supporting buy zone and read new information as soon as possible.

My rule is always put stop loss point, and profit target from 3% to 20% depend on pair and market. Stop loss on time and take the profit when i get the target, not greedy.

I don't think we can really study the trading trend in the encrypted market. Because the encryption market is very unstable. The price change per minute is very huge. We must integrate all kinds of intelligence to make buy and sell decisions. So encrypting intelligence information becomes very important.

Nice submissions, though you were not quite explicit about your trade strategies and risk management, It is well known that crypto most times do not obey TA and the stop loss feature can be a blessing and curse at the same time. Most of what you posted are well known terms by an average trader.

The theme is good, but where is the trading experience? I agree, of course, that greed and fear will never give profit and profit, but only losses. by myself I know this. And this year one technical analysis can not be based, it often contains punctures

If you read very well you see  that l do not base my decision placing an order only on technical analysis , also include fundamental analysis , this analysis have work for me,and thats why l share it for every one to learn and also contribute their experience on the trend for others to avoid further loses.

If you want to learn how to trade, I recommend first of all to the study of the book Jack Schwager Technical analysis

Thank you for sharing useful for newcomers to the market, wondering and wanting to learn more about it. I think you should list some more information about the ICO statistics sites and the events of the crypto

Why not focus on bitcoin itself?you do marginal trading and it is more easy because you wont need to check a lot of charts just one and its bitcoin's price action.TA and FA are the key to sucess,you wont succeed without these two important factors i agree with your statement except the last part..trading XRP because i do believe XRP isnt a cryptocurrency it is the worst investment that you will have,its like USDT which are being backed up by the banks which isnt acceptable.

I think that you have done quite well, so congratulations. My experience in trading is limited, but I concentrate mostly in coins or tokens that have been listed recently and have plenty of volatility. It went really well in the up market, but it became less interesting with time. The strategy also requires to be ready at the time of listing and trading quite a bit during the first days, thus it can only be done if you want to be on it 100%.

I choosed ICOs that had been oversubscribed and got into the train in the first moments of trading if I saw that it was going to go well.

Hahaa... everyone is always expert when markets rise and most of them loose when crash comes. I prefer to hear from those who have been making good profit this year

I thought that he's not talking about his trading experience but it looks like he was giving a suggestion based on his trade experience. TA and FA is really important thing but remember to enter the market when the price was very low will be very important to determine the best time to buy more coin.

technical analysis works perfectly all the depends on what strategy that works for you .my vericoin, xrp etc have double in this bear market .my experience have taught me to feed on people's  fears  and greed because that when they sell or buy very fast .

Thanks for your comment mate.you can use aggressive trading strategy  by using the trailing stop features this helps to control your  risk reward ratio although not all crypto exchanges have this features . l believe complaining about when the bull run we start will not grow ones portfolio but divine and aggressive  strategy will do.

This are the very basic rules to trade I agree. Rather than big exchanges, I would say that you need to have good liquidity. Some coins have decent liquidity in small exchanges. Also, the exchange must support the stop loss and take profit orders for sure.

I'm curious how do you pick the "winning" coin? I have done my research, I already know what the coins stand for and that they are active, from a dev standpoint, but when you want to speculate on the price to make a quick buck, how do you do it?

I find it increasing difficult to find the right moment when to jump in and "pull the trigger". Normally after I buy, the coin devalues and make me hold it to avoid transforming the transaction in a loss by selling cheaper.

Do you look for specific patterns in the trading history to know if it's a good time to get in or not?

This thread has a very nice subject for traders specially to those that are planning to do tradings. I agree to the above mentioned statement that trading is the key to increase the portfolio in the bear market. It is also good that you shared your strategies so that out there, may people doing the trading will increase their knowledge. I hope that many trader will bring down their strategies and advice on how we can maximize and earn more from trading. Good luck!

Greed and Fear is the key factor that result to lost of Crypto Asset in trading - very well said. Also it is the main reason why people enter trading)

Well, so far I agree with you. Knowledge, money combine with practice will makes perfect. In many cases most people start trading with wrong mindset , they believe trading is simple but not. Second thing is no practice, direct into crypto market with real money will make them loss. Last one, they still believe bot and people opinion. That's my experience about trading, keep learning market moving and trust no one.

Yes, we cannot lie that greed and fear are attitudes possessed by some traders and often make traders panic and trapped in their trades which results in cutting losses and even losing assets, sadly.

Not so simple for me, sometimes it is possible to increase the volume of the portfolio, but often I'm wrong. Need more experience.

Wow that was long. I thought I will just be reading a few sentences but yet ended up reading it all.

Fear and Greed. This two are the main keys just like you said. You are winning then you want more.
Then, a sudden fall happen. Fesr came in and panic happens. It all goes back to that moment if you cannot control those emotions.

This is what I've noticed too and have been advised by someone I respect in the space. The days of hodling for profits might just be over and  the only sure way to survive in the crypto space at the moment is by active trading. This could be;

1. Scalping
2. Day Trading
3. Swing Trading
4. Position Trading

In all in all, greed and fear must be tames in order to be successful in trading just as you've pointed out.

The possibility of gaining profits by trading high-volume coins is high. But sometimes, even those not-so-high volume coins can still give good profits. Although it's much riskier and not advisable, I put some of my fund in this coin. So far, I can say it's not time yet to exit.

Trading gives you the opportunity to earn on any market. I mean both bullish and bearish. But to trade in plus, you need to learn a lot

No matter the trading strategy you intend to use , you must learnt risk management and emotions management .

thanks alot mate l really appreciate your comment . My strategy for trading that has resulted to increase in my portfolio has been updated on the post . This post was done so that  every one we see  "Bitcointalk" as "learning center" . any further observation please do not hesitate to drop your comment and as we make profit lets remember to donate to the forum to support  everyone who make this forum for us

Thanks for sharing this valuable information, as a newbie in trading I keep myself reading any sources that would enhance my knowledge and skills specially when applying the best techniques and strategies in trading cryptocurrency, your method is superb, and id like to use some of this methods. As a newbie, it is my goal to earn more, and limit myself from emotions, because it drives me a momentum of trading more, without thinking the real purpose, and it results to a loss.

I am thankful enough that I read your statement, which can help me a lot in determining which method should need to be applied. I also have long term portfolio and all of those coins are performing well and have a future,  so my goal this time is to generate more and in efficient method.

Have a great day

Trading is always profitable if you know the drill even when it is a bear market. Day trading is not for everybody so if anyone intend to do this thing then you should focus on how to deal with the risk.

I think fundamental analysis will be the main deciding factor that will determine the outcome of the trade on technical analysis. When can learn from the various fundamental aspects that exist then just stay play and hone techniques to be able to make more of this could produce. but when this fundamental cannot yet fully mastered then just like entering into the trade without having a base and also a clear source.

as people travel but don't have a clear purpose. Maybe that will happen if the trade without mastering fundamental analysis.  :D :D :D
as powerful as any analysis technique that had been owned will be able to do much when fundamental analysis which belonged to weak. at least this should be balanced in order to be better in trade.

In bear market it is very hard to earn profit from trading. Only trading experts can do it. I think the best choice for us in bear market is only keep USD or hold the coins we have to secure our funds.

Yes everyone are here only to make good profit but the prediction of the market is entirely different. No one can say what will happen in upcoming days. Definitely it is better to invest in bearish market because you will get double your money oneday for sure. All you need is to stay calm and wait for bullish run.

I think that is a good way but it is not stable if the trader is a newcomer and does not have much knowledge of graph analysis or information search.

That's true, being a bitcoin or cryptocurtency trader is different from being a conventional trader. Becoming a crypto currency trader urgently require a broad understanding of price movements, technical analysts or fundamental must be truly understood by someone. And maybe, a newbie doesn't know about this yet.

So basically you saying apply all the possible strategy to come up with the good trades. Nice write up but things wont be same all the time in the trading market. Every time the crypto situation will be different and thus you have to be very keen at your trading strategy.

The only way to increase your portfolio is to do the compounding of your investment. This can be done on the basis of profits that you earn. You must be wiling to put those profits back again in the crypto trading and keep repeating this process until you get huge bag of it.  :P

Yes, but trade does not work now, investing in ICO also brings only disappointment. There remains a short-term, risky trade that does not suit ordinary investors, which requires a lot of time and effort.

Yes but we must focus on a coin that has a potential as well especially day trading to ensure there's a profits on it.  Which is in my opinion probably trading with 2  different altcoin is the best choice to increase our portfolio even the market is red. 

Trading is good for those that have the deep understanding of how the system works, can read the chart very well, use news feed effectively to their advantage, very discipline and also note that it could be a very boring task sitting infront of system unless you install high frequency algorithm to trade for you

Thanks mate . l really appreciate your comment but trading can be fun when you know what you are doing per time .even people are employ in  banks to trade for them in the Forex market . the market is control by humans and not Bot . the whales are human not Bot . make the trading trend your friend you make profit .never use Bot. the Bot dont understand fundamental analysis for example when india ban crypto there will be a sudden drop of crypto asset .the BOT can't see this coming .

The bear market trading is the same as the bull market trading , even the expert still loose money in the bull market. The bull market does not mean is all about gain , everything still goes down to trading. Hodl is lazy way of trading and is more dangerous . Just learn your FA And TA , develop your own strategy that works for you.never be too greedy or fearful enter and exist a trade. You need boldness

This a very nice read. Your insights and explanations is so helpful for me also as a trader and a crypto enthusiast. I also use RSI, and MA's but I'm not really good and accurate about it. I still have some bad trades. For me trading in the Bear Market test your ability to control your emotions on when,and what to sell. Timing and trends are some of the factors I considered to gain profits.

very appropriate, but if implemented is very difficult, big trade is the key to getting quick profits. greed is a failure I agree with that

if you understand the market and can make a good analysis then you need to engage in trade because you can earn good money, but if you don’t know anything, it’s better not to climb because you lose everything

We experience failure in trading so the best for that learn from your mistakes. Always learn and apply to become successful in trading. Trading increases our portfolio since you are active from buying and selling.

OP, your heading speaks a lot about it. For those who have lost a lot. Perhaps those who invested during the last bull run and are still holding, can easily go into trading and recover all. I am even sure that some would want to bearish market to continue, because they are making their money.
Although, no one knows when the bull run will commence. That not withstanding, profit at this time is very essential.

But it can be also very dangerous . I was doing that and I got burned couple of times .One was big burn with Revain token . I had 9500 and I sold them when it was 0.60cents . But after that Revain jumped to 4 $ . It was just in few weeks time . Crazy to think how much money I lost for being inpatient

Yes trading is the very good option during bear market. Because we can earn good money with trading surely using technical analysis. In bear market i earned more than 800 dollar with trading. and i will continue do that. Sometimes it is risky little bit but 800 dollar is really good money.

I did just what you said and honestly it is very risky doing this. Be sure that if we are trading in this bearish market we should be ready to lose that money we are trading.

If we have trading skill, we can selling at high price and buying again at lower price. But not many people having this skill because we should knowing market movement and having technical skill

I am also a trader and I also did it for a long time, I think there are many cars for us to get the benefits of crypto besides joining a number of promising ICOs. some ICOs treat investors like someone very important, so when the tokens they sell are listed on market exchange, the price is better than the ICO, but choosing an ICO for investment must be careful, look at the development teams and see their history, if they don't have a history if they have a bad history in the crypto world then avoid it. for traders must also remain cautious even though the trader becomes a very important thing when being bearish we still have to be able to choose the potential of a coin or token that we want to trade, lest we choose coins or tokens that are almost no meaningful development, for a comfortable trading place there are several places that might be interesting and easy to understand. I often trade in the existing Decentralis exchange, besides that I also trade in Binance, Kucoin, Poloniex.

Pretty decent components you have there as trader, stopping loss is certainly critical but knowing to short or long crypto is the best, I think its nothing different than forex when trading big altcoin pairs.

right, need enough experience to succeed in getting satisfactory results. indeed we cannot become greedy in the crypto world, because the results will be very disappointing and will be far from what we think.

i often trade, initially i always lose because i hope it will be even higher and in the end i lose some of my assets. we really have to target and be good at analyzing especially not feeling panic when prices will rise or prices will go down.

must be like that in order to succeed, because with a lot of knowledge will be very helpful in solving problems and can make decisions correctly. without knowledge, you can fall into ignorance that can lead to losses.

Honestly, this strategy is very applicable to the STOCK market, but to the cryptocurrency market, there is a lesser percentage of reading the charts to pinpoint the next market movement. On the early days of crypto, I used to read the charts but maybe I was so lucky that it was on a massive bull run and candle sticks are much easier to predict during bull runs.
But during bear markets on the crypto market, there is no guarantee that the next tick will be a bounce, some may even be the next massive drop candle.

Yes, Trading fastest way to get profit if we good at it. To become good in trading, we need to research a lot about the market as well as analysis technical. I have no time for that. I have a stable job and just join crypto to get an extra income by doing bounty and investing in some coins.

Yes, maybe what you say is right, trading is the key to increasing your success in crypto, but you must be able to learn more in detail when you enter trading, of course with trading will make your income increase, start learning to trade from now on

Trading especially the day trading brings profits on daily basis irrespective of the ruling status of the market condition, whether bull or bear. However, this is not achieved very simply. It requires deep knowledge on the trend of the market and which coin is favorable at a point in time to trade with. Other day traders prefer to use bots because it demands a lot of time when done manually.

You must sell all of your portfolios when the chart has been increasing a lot. There was no guarantee the price of your token will always increase. basically in this market you are playing in the short term. Never try to trade for long term or make it to be your long term investment. This is a wrong decision. so many people have experienced this.

I will probably change the the subject of the thread, because trading is not the key, trading is the only way to increase the size of your cryptocurrencies portfolio anything else is going to make you lose money, however while trading may seem like the perfect way to do this we must also recognize the risks, most people that try to trade become losers in the long term and most lose all their capital in less than a year.

In the event that we now have buying and selling ability, we are able to promote from higher cost and purchasing once again from discounted. Although not lots of people getting this particular ability simply because we ought to understand marketplace motion as well as getting the specialized ability.

generally people try to trade to incease the number of the coins that they have. they sell that coin when it increases and buy it back, they do not earn but they get much more coins till the bulls come.

Always work out a trading plan and trade and execute according to it. Profit taking is very important, you always has to lock up the gains after you have achieved your profit target.

Trading has always been and remains one of the most effective ways to profit from cryptocurrency, but the problem has always been that trading is also very risky.

You don't have to have deep knowledge if you are trading, you just need to have basic knowledge in trading, experience and risk appetite.

Increasing your portfolio during the bear market is advisable and everyone should really do this why you can see. Why is it advisable? most of the coins are being dump and that's how you become greedy by buying those coins at the lowest that you can get. And when the market's up it is the start of selling.

Right, bearish is very risky. if you don't play fast, maybe you will lose because prices are very fast turning red, actually trading when bearish is a high risk, but that doesn't mean you can't use it, prices sometimes go up but only in a short time, and I agree not to hold on too long while trading in bearish

Yes, it might be true that trading is one way for us to benefit from crypto, but we must really understand what trading works like so that we can get maximum results but of course there are risks.

I think ita depend not all have funds to do trading on a beariah market. Im a trader and even though I have enough knowledge about trading isnt enough to totally ripped somw profit from the market. Still always on a case to case basis. Some alts right now are hard to understand. Whales, manipulating the market about your prospect coin to trade really affects the depth analysis when it comes to technical analysis. Id win some 10 to 20% from scalping but sometime loss is inevitable when the marlet moves fast.

In trading we also not allowed to get carried away if the market is keep on increasing, we need to put a stop on the profit gaining, since there will be time that the increase will stop and it comes down again. Cause if we are late to take that chance, there will be a big possibilities we'll loose our fortune, there.

Indeed when only dwells and holding saw price increases every day is not that profitable. trade is the way that at least can afford to cover the value of the loss and can increase the results every time. Although this is quite a risky yet when can master this aspect of trade with both certain trade is going to be the thing that at least always give you results.

Having been in forex trading for quite some few times ago I tried to switch my trading strategy to Crypto trading however while demoing I had been experiencing consistent losses due to the instability in the price of Cryptos which in most cases doesn't obeys TA but  obeys fundamental analysis due to FUDs.

Whales manipulating or not, if the market goes high we aren't even blaming them but if the market goes on dip we're throwing all the blame to them so remove that mindset.

Why would you stay to those alts that you can't understand? stay only on those coins that you know how to trade and you are familiar with its market. Loss is really inevitable if you are scalping, there's no guaranteed profit in trading but as I've said those factors are what you need.

of course Trading can be a key to increase your portfolio and does not matter there is bull or bear market right now. Only one important point - you need to  have a huge experience with trading)

l  believe you will agree with me that the  market is full of Fear and Greed . Despite your fundamental and technical analysis you do that works for you ,you need Self Discipline in trading Crypto asset knowing fully well that the market is full of sentiment either economic or political sentiment which have affected Cryptocurrency trading instrument positively as we experience in late 2017  and also  negatively as we are now experiencing all throughout 2018 .Self Discipline is what helps to control your emotions since your emotions are divide into two which are Fear and Greed

Having a plan before you begin to trade is crucial if you plan to become a successful trader, many times I see people trading not knowing what they are going to do if a particular set of circumstances present themselves and then they try to figure out what to do when they are trading, which is one of the most difficult things to do, so unless you have a plan do not trade.

at least if dare to trade would be better than just waiting for the market to recover. market moves up and down though not great worth to be utilized to bring in profit every day even though it's also not too large. but at the very least need to be many aspects that must be considered in the trade if you want to always be able to receive profit from this field.

I agree with you, in trading ups and downs are part of the game. We need to be very cautious about the project and how it works in future. Obviously it is risky but you we have to research on our own for our betterment.

To be engaged in trading on the cryptocurrency market you need a lot of knowledge, experience and time. In addition, not everyone has the ability to do this. Trading on the stock exchange, of course, can make a person rich in a very short time, but it can also make him a beggar. Therefore, whoever feels that he is ripe for trade, let him deal with it. This is a very risky activity.

I do like your post, alot of people are making it big in this current market trend because they are good with technical analysis unlike most of us in the space, but one thing you missed out is discipline, most people would have been a good trader if they have the virtue of been disciplined to there strategy

I agree with you that in crypto we need knowledge about it and researching on our own is the best thing to safeguard ourself. At the same time I feel some sort of strange thing you have mentioned like beggars and trading is a tough concept. Mate those who took risk before few years are millionaires today, patience and time plays a key role here all you need to do is wait for your day. This is the wonderful opportunity to invest in crypto market make use of it. I strongly believe the market will gear up slowly and bounce back again.

mastery of fundamental analysis will be important things that should take precedence and own for crypto. When the base is not so understood or mastered then technically owned will not able to help much.  technically it can be processed and need time, but fundamentals are the basis of what is happening in the technical.  trading will need both of these to be able to continue to profit each time.

Discipline is a very important in trading, emotion and discipline really affecting the result of the trading, one thing that I learned from my experience is that it need a lot of time to be successful in trading, indicators need to be paired with experience to get the maximum result, and dont expect to win in all trade, for professional traders , there is always chances to make profit in bear or bull market, so you can earn limitless profit from trading

A very informative post, and I understand that with this knowledge you can increase your capital and increase the number of coins in your wallet, but personally I am not ready to trade and I still need to improve my skills in this.

Thanks allot mate . You will need a demo account to start trading so you can learn how to control your greed and fear and taking crusial decisions per time with cryptocurrency pairs in the forex exchanges or cryptocurrency exchanges . This will make you not to play with your real money that you have work for years. Through this medium you will learn how to discipline your self.and also you will need to read lot of books on the internet with regards to forex trading which you can integrate the strategy in cryptocurrency exchange trading.

Trading is still remain the vital key outside many options you have to increase your portfolio. You can attest to this that many hodler who bought btc at 20k who refuse to trade but hoping that btc gets to 30k are now regretting the risk they did not take to sell.you need risk management and self discipine to be successful in the world of trading currecny pairs.is more risky if you don't take a risk to trade.

i think taht it is really true and you jeed to find a lot of thinys that can bring ypu to ypurdream income

trading is good and i think tjat this is a good way to earn money and ypu will need some time to find what you can really do

This topic is very informative and helpful for small-time and starting traders. Last October was great because prices were very stable, expecting the same thing this November. Its very good for starters to trade as the prices experience ni huge mivements.

Very awesome sharing. So far in trading, I only focus on how to choose the coins with high volume and circulation. I always buy and sell in the right time. Your information is actually very important in order to improve our experience and skill in cryptocurrency, especially trading. Deciding to sell the coins in the portfolio during this bear market may be risky, but of course there are some considerations that make it true.

If you are not a good trader it is an amazing way to lose all your money. Trading is a great way to increase your portfolio but if you are not doing it the right way than it is a very risky method specially during a bear market

I mean if a person is good enough to make money trading during a bear market this means they probably already don't need our help anyway. There are very few people who can really make a profit during a bear market and this topic is not for them. The best way to make a better portfolio is to work for your crypto and use that money to buy more of the coin that dropped and average it down to something that is possible.

That is what a lot of my friends have done so far and one of them who got in during 18 thousand dollars bitcoin price now has a profitable exit price of 8.4 thousand dollars which is not that big, if this market goes on another couple months he will probably average it down to $7.4k and that would make it a lot easier to get out. That's the best method I know of.

yes, I did it several times with the assets that I had. indeed if you just wait and give a very slow value. now the market looks sluggish.
But by trading is to increase the value of assets that we have, but all of them require capability and analysis.

I've been trying to venture in this field for some time,  but there are many contradicting resources that confuse more than instruct.  Would you recommend some other books and maybe tutorials?

Undoubtedly, in any field of activity, if you have your own capital, you need to put it into circulation, thereby increasing your profit, but the key aspect is that you need to know what to invest in, otherwise you can completely lose your capital

Sometimes from some trading strategies it cannot determine success, because actually the one who gives the trade success is our way of thinking and action (patient or emotional). many people suffer losses because of their actions who cannot wait to face the future

I did another thing but it also helps me.
I sell my bounty tokens for example for 700 satoshi, then buy them for 600 satoshi, after that I increase my bounty tokens x3 or x4 depends of how much time I spent

I think that trading at a time when the market is bearish or bullish brings a good profit, but now that the market is in place and almost nothing happens, trading will not give you great results.

Mate the market is full of profit every day . there are still proof that people are still making out profit and increasing their portfolio daily. from my personal  experience l found out that holding of a coin or token is not  profitable and you may loose all your hard earn money use to purchase these crypto asset . what you need to be successful is to apply a new strategy that will work for you or learn from other people strategy . to my own opinion there is always bull run almost every day but all depends on the rate of measurement  of the bull run you are waiting for .

I fully agree with you and you need to take into account the fact that the trading will always be relevant, even with a falling market, you can trade CFD contracts and earn money  ::)

No, technical and fundamental analysis are completely different, fundamental analysis cares about every single aspect of the asset that you are studying and then tries to determine if the asset is undervalued or overvalued, technical analysis is completely different traders do not care about anything else except the price of the asset and what it is doing.

the information in this thread is very useful but even better if you add some solutions to trading altcoin with low volume and small market cap because it seems that all the things mentioned above no have affect to altcoin with low volume and small market cap

Well... Is it not easy to train on bitcoin simulators? Or you can start with simple and easy-to-use exchanges like CEX – I started from there. And it was more helpful when I saw with my own eyes how it works and should work. I didn't face some problems 'cause trading there is quite convenient. Now I exchange eth for btc there (https://cex.io/eth-btc).

This is not the only strategy of how to increase your portfolio on the falling market. For sure, margin trading is very good for earning money on the falling market, but you can also take part in bounties and collect a lot of new perspective tokens.

Yes, I agree with you. In this bear market, Increasing portfolio is a very hard job! People are still holding tight their coins because they afraid about losing money in trading! Where they already lost more than 50% money by holding! I think things need to change. As we don't know when will end this bad condition of the crypto market, So, People should start trading because only trading can increase the money portfolio in this bear market.

I have witnessed many investors losing all their property because of greed and anxiety. The long-term bear market also makes us lose confidence. I also started to be disappointed with the market!

   We have different style in crypto market investment, some are just Traders, some are doing DODL, and some are on either long term or short term investment, but with what is going on now in the crypto market, everybody is crazy thinking on how to handle the market dive anew? as per some expert opinion no one is an expert with the very Volatile market, it is unpredictable, anything can happen with out our expert knowledge.. let's keep monitoring the crypto market and make a sound decision to protect our investment.

I also agree with this post basically about trading as a means to increase or accumulate your volume in this type of market. I've mentioned this in some of my previous comments in other post and I believe traders should actually understand some TA and I think your pointers are some good steps to note while trying to get into crypto trading.

In TRADING you must have knowledge and more experience to know all the possibilities that you may encounter here in crypto. Because lack of knowledge in TRADING it can brings a lot of risk and it can gives a loss of capital.

Trading can give profit at any market.
On bear trading harder then on bull market.

Knowledge is very important but when it comes to such a difficult market in which every coin is going down and in which we are registering record losses experience is even more important, those that have experimented something like this before know how to act and what to do in these circumstances, while many that only invested during the last year are completely lost about what to do.

little tips for all of us, that is when we obey our emotions in trading, then what we will get is cut loss, yes in the trading world we must always prioritize our mathematical skills, decision making must also be accompanied by logical reasons, no people who buys bitcoin for no reason then he suddenly gets rich, except for being lucky. And if he continues, he will lose in the near future
so in my opinion the most important thing is, emotional control

too blame market not good things to do. and too greedy, too will be brought to fruition that's bad enough. but when could not master the fundamental and technical aspects of this issue. Although the market is in a bad state but still there are opportunities for results and blame the market isn't too wise.

Thank you so much for sharing. Trading is indeed the best way to get profit in bear market. I know a guy who still managed to get profit from daytrading in this bearish market. I wanted to enrich my knowledge and experience in trading but my part-time job takes a lot of my time.

It could be but you need to also understand that it is one of the things that could lose you the remaining amount of money that you have left from this bloodbath, in a bear, coins have a tendency to go down rather than go up so you have to know the kind of trading that you are doing to make sure that you do not end up having more losses than profit

My own experience is not that bad. Although I didnt read any book about learning to trade. Most of the thing I learn before trading are those I find here on the bitcointalk forum. Although I have been a crowdworker for many years on platform such as crowdflower, Clixsense and NeoBux so I am not actually a novice to making money online. I started trading on binance and Cryptopia. I study chart history of many crypto with solid project background. I make few bucks daily and sometime I lose my interest back as well but the owe story get worst when I started following so many pump and dump group on telegram. It was too late before I realized I am being used as pawn.
Lesson learnt: Believe and do your own research. Avoid pump and dump group.

I do daily trading, my crypto portfolio increase but USD value decrease. I don't care too much about this because in bad conditions of market now, i want to trade to have more experience in this market, i'm learning more about trading so that i can gain a lot of money when bullish comes.

Your trading tactics are impressive, however I  have lost 80% of my portfolio value and I think I would be wrong to trade now. Probably just wait till the whole thing pick up

Well I have tried trading in the past, it didn't really work out for me maybe because i am too emotional type of person, but i have pick some few tips from your text, I will go and read some more book on trading and analysis.

Yes, trading during this period allows you to experience this moment in your life, but you must remember that you need to be able to trade, that is, you need to develop skills. Otherwise, you will just lose your money.

I agree with the statement that by trading you can increase your portfolio even on a bear market, but you
have to be an experienced one not to lose in value. Personally I have increased my portfolio much more
by shorting the coins and buying back much cheaper than by scalping. So for me, sometimes it is better
to stay out of the game and still win.

the OP already mentioned he only trading on big volumes market, means he simply ignored if the coins still has low volume/small caps.
Since the bigger you had on your portfolio you need to make sure as well one of your portfolio can be liquidated if you want manage to sell it

I like this information as it's a useful one to those who really want to make this bear market as a means to increasing one's portfolio. But, I'm really scared of trading, as it hasn't been working well for me. I, most of the tie, lose anytime I trade.

a good submission on trade. This could be an idea for many people to remain productive in the condition of the bear market like this time. Although it is indeed risky but avoid the greed and panic could be the key to the trade to be able to produce. When only relying on wait that is just a waste of time.

The most important here is that I think the psychology of trading, most of the time when the price increases, they think it will increase further, seeing prices fall, then it will increase again. Therefore need absolute control of greed in this market.

thanks for all the trading tips. so far, i had no success with trading crypto, but i will try the tips from this thread. maybe it will help me to become better at trading crypto.

It really turns out in a falling market, to increase the number of coins in a portfolio, it reminds a guessing game, whether you guess where the price will go, according to indicators and patterns it is difficult to trade

You are right, when you have lost so much money to trade is not the right thing to do, you need to find what you did wrong but in this market losing 80% since the last all time high is not really surprising and the only thing that could have prevented that is if we had sold our coins when the market began to went down, but I have the policy of not selling my bitcoins unless they hit my target price.

Indeed, we need to keep on moving every time. Cause if we don't do that and just wait for the market to be better without anyone including us doing something, I believe nothing will happen if everyone is stop doing thing and just wait for miracle.

Trading is helping to increase the number of your coins during the bear market, but it coin decrease like x 10
you have to be a very good trader to offset that. In those market conditions it is wise to short your coins as well.

I am an ardent opponent of trading because because of it a lot of money is lost in a cryptocurrency market

yeah on the bear market, doing a shorting is a best way to do if you still want to trade with that kind of situation. Entry the market and leave it (hold) will likely make another lose on your portfolio since you don't know where is the last dip before it changed the trend

holding lossing any opporunity to add our coins stock.in short term we could take advantages from daily movement.buy and sell several times could make our coins amount increase alot.but we have to be master in technical analisys.

Entering trading world indeed need a lot of source of information, and also a never ending learn.
Cause even a slight news can cause the crypto trading to turn over instantly, so information is the key to crypto trading.

You can trade in any market, but it is better to open deals according to the trend. And he is bullish, even now and drawdowns. I prefer to hold positions.
The main thing is to believe in the best. Learn to candle analysis. You can make a deposit of 10% per year, and the market will give another 1000%

Of course I agree that trading is better in the bear market, of course it is still worth selling at the best time when there is a rapid growth in the future not to panic and not to remain in the red , and of course you need to learn new trading indicators !

I agree. There is no other efficient way of increasing the portfolio than trading especially on the bear market.  Relying on bounties is not that productive anymore because of the number of scam ICO's that has happened. There won't be a problem if all of the bounties were legit but its the opposite way around. Trading could be the answer on the drought. However, if you have limited capital, it could be very hard to start but when you get the hang of it, its very productive.

This is also the key to reducing your deposit if you do not have enough skills. Trading in any market is hard work, especially in a falling one. You should follow the market 24/7, only in this case you have a chance.

i always thought the other wise until i see with my bare eyes how i close friend of mine made almost 50 dollars daily on just one coin but to be honest you need to be good in trading you should now how to read charts in order to lose because the risk is high to be honest.

I know a few people involved in arbitration on the stock exchanges. So they all say that it is more profitable to trade in a worthwhile market or in a market that has a slight drop. Is it true?

Trading is so risky but if you what you are doing, then you are good. 50 dollars daily is achievable but i think it would not be daily i think with this kind of market where everything is going down. The important thing in trading is you got to be very patient and remember that being a millionaire in just days in trading crypto is a myth.

Trading is a really good way to increase the number of your coins during bear market. Traders can make short term gains with daily trading but you have to be a very experienced trader to make profit under these bearish market conditions.

Anyone who wants to trade perfectly must always leave their emotions out of it. And by the way, trading doesn’t work for everyone so there are still other ways anyone can increase what they have without having to trade, but don’t even go for poor methods such paid-to-click or Faucets and things that are similar to all that, they are just a waste of time.

Yes, it is true but it won't happen all the time. There will only be few instances that the prices from different exchanges differ from each other significantly. So, it would be beneficial if you were aware on that moment. The worst thing to happen is that when you are too late to successfully transfer your fund to another exchange because of network traffic.

I am not so sure about the trading in bear market. You can lose more that you can gain. Be careful

I think you have a good point. However, to be successful as a trader, there are a lot of things you need to learn. Jumping into the waters of trading without proper knowledge will be like jumping into a sea full of sharks. You will get bitten to pieces. One has to be careful by being properly grounded and tutored on all basics as well as advanced trading principles. The bear market offers one of the most risky patches to trade on, in order to succeed in this market, one has to be thought effectively. One has to learn how to interpret the markets and make winning trades. If this is done, then one can actually make some good funds.

If a person knows how to trade and complies with all the risks that will be able to earn even in the bear market , but beginners certainly better not to trade.

Beginners can also try to trade, but that person needs to know the right time to buy at a low price and sell the coin when it increases. And if he cannot make a big profit, small profit will be good as an income. I see some of my friends who are new in the trading and don't have much knowledge about trading can make a nice profit, and in every month they can keep making a nice income from trading although the money is not too big. But for sure, they can increase the portfolio and also raise the money they had.

Good read indeed, I agree that trading will be a safe play in this kind of market because of easy pumps and dumps recently. Risky things such as these will help us gain knowledge that helps us grown in this industry. I never read any book or articles about trading and I only decide based on historicals of graphs and volume as well.

With the market condition like this, we can't just rely on holding a coins and wait, we still need to act and those act can also to trade in the market.
Use the fluctuation of the price to generate some profit for us.

Indeed this is better done than just silent. but the problem is, in the trade will be able to give you a loss if it is not able to run it. This risk must be addressed when want to trade to get the desired results. at least in studying trade nor in quick time and need a process.

The portfolio will increase exclusively to Bitcoin. Trying to increase it against the dollar is quite difficult in the bear market.

We need a proper way to shortsell cryptos, especially shitcoins ! A proper way would be if we had an ETF of course.

Yes, just like I hold and wait, although not a new person, but I think you still need to sit still and wait, do not act to lead to lose more money. It will happen if you make another mistake from the transaction. Your money will disappear with it ::).

Or in this way it is possible to increase your volume of any other altcoins, in any case it is better than to suffer losses and to deny losses without doing anything. Many have increased their bitcoin number almost doubled over the bear market.

In this bear market, increasing the portfolio is very hard work. People keep their coins because they are afraid of losing money at the auctions, and then in a panic they sell their coins for nothing. I think everything should change. However, people have to start trading, because only trading can save and increase the portfolio in this bear market.

When you make intense recovery on your loss in the bear market. Make sure to set aside your emotions. Because emotions are common to become us weak and produce much loss. And good to know also that you use stop loss on this strategy.

About trading, I use CoinBundle (https://app.coinbundle.com/signup?ref=GbilASc06z9MvDBxOoBlc4iDCT3uw2odDfb157vwFMN3GHFGvr9JHCU0tfIjGDd7%2B%2BZh6JWGaICw%2FTDG68Y5Sku2Ch8h4QNka6BLCSOm4hs%3D), where there are 20 top coins (they have a big market size), and I personally think it is a big exchange, since CoinBase has inspiration on the bundles feature.

But it doesn't haves only NEO, BTC and XRP, but 20 other and soon users will be able to sell their own crypto bundles with the coins/tokens they want

Trading could be the way to increase your wealth but it also can decrease your wealth, and trading in bear market is a dangerous situation,but I agree that there is no other way to make quick profit in the bear market, however don't think of trading as the easy way to make money,you will encountered so many things that can make you lose money,so be prepared

Bullish market or Bearish ones isn't really different at all specially when you are an active trader. Your profitability wont matter on whats the current market condition but you do earn on how prices would move out.
Even it do goes down generally you can scalp even on the slightest movement upwards and if you do know how to utilize those movements and making such good decisions you can eventually make money
inspite of this hardship.

I don't know that scalping thing but I guess I'm doing it. And yes, market situation should not greatly matter when you're trading daily just like forex trading.  But, with day trading, you really need good amounts of focus.

Trading is a zero sum game. So if you want to profit someone has to lose. What makes you think you are smarter or luckier then others?

I suggest you to research coins and projects. And invest in those you belie will be here 10 years from now and widely used. Think of things that cant be done on Bitcoin. If none, just have Bitcoin.

Lol, can i say that i must believe in my self?  ::)
It's a good option rather than put our money on scammer's wallet. As far as i know there was a major platform that the CEO has become a dishonest person. Even the major crypto can't be trusted.

I agree if trading is the key to increases the portfolio when the market is bearish. But I will not to do this, because even if the portfolio increases but the altcoin exchange rate continues to decline it means nothing (in other words inflation has occurred). So, when the market is bearish I would prefer to exchange all crypto assets to fiat and not trade for a while.

I would not say that greed can negatively affect the situation, most likely fear prevents us from doing the desired things!

For sure trading is a great opportunity to multiply your funds even on the falling market, but you need to mention that you need to learn a lot about trading before you start. Just remember not to start trading without enough knowledge.

It is most profitable to engage in arbitration between the exchanges at a time when the market falls slightly in price or stands still. This is the best time to trade.

If you are expecting to earn a stable amount of money when you are trading then you still have a lot to learn, when it comes to trading you cannot really expect the market to give you stable profits, you can only get whatever the market gives you and that is if you are very skilled at trading, if the whole market is going down how are you going to make those 50 dollars every day?

Thank you for all your inputs. I also realized that I can't just keep selling my token I earned from bounty. I need to learn trading too and you mentioned some things here, I did not realize that were important. Trading with no emotion is really hard and I don;t know how to teach myself that. I'm kind of practicing with  WES token on Latoken exchange but volume is close to nothing. maybe I should go to binance and do one of the tokens that you mentioned here.

Trading can definitely be a big help in a bear market - but I think often the easiest way is to just trade your coins for USDT and then watch the market fall before buying back in later. If the market is dropping quickly, you don't really need deep knowledge and technical analysis skills, you just need to be confident that the stablecoin will hold its value as the other cryptos drop. If you're not confident of that, you can just trade back to fiat and then buy back in later - although obviously this tends to incur some fees.

With the market being totally unpredictable at the moment and most of the altcoins feeling the pressure from Bitcoin, unless you are closely analysing Bitcoin you may miss some key moves with your alt trading coin and be left losing out. For those that do not have the time to sit watching trading screens then an alternative is just to buy more of the coins you favour and reduce your cost averages.

Trading is actually a key to increase our portfolio in the bear market but we need to do our analysis very well to be able to use trading as a tool to our advantage in this bear market.

You might be disappointed with your trust in yourself and you might miss the great opportunity Bitcoin is giving you by the greatest redistribution of wealth that ever happened on earth.  By simply buy Bitcoin and securely store it you could gain huge gains in last 5 years. Same if not identical it will happen in next 5 years. By trading you might, and in many cases that happens, ruin this once in a lifetime opportunity.  Risk that for a chance to be twice as rich is so silly to me.

That is right, the only way to earn during the bear-market is to day-trade. Some traders are earning and increasing their portfolio during the bear-market. Prices are still unstable, that is why it is profitable if you can watch the market closely.

I have seen coins traded on small exchanges and still performed well. This situation though is rare and it depends on the strategy the team deploys, as well as the nature of the project. Then some coins are first traded on smaller ones, before targeting the bigger ones.

Trading could be used as a strategy for bear survival/profit but in my mind this can only be performed by those who can  and have all day access to the market info which in turn means you must dedicated your time to it. So for me personally, I know this won't work

100 percent true.
If you will just hold your tokens at the bear market you will lose amount continuously.
You should be smarter than that and do buy and sell.
, market might be red but there are some who will gain the increase.

I am happy by being good in dealing with the current market conditions carefully and calmly. Patience is indeed needed in this regard and accuracy in seeing opportunities

I am very grateful to you for this topic. After all, I could find here a lot of useful information for work and the right decisions. I very much hope that in the future you will also post information about the rules and features of trading coins with a small market capitalization.

You can trade in any market. Just strategies change. But as for me, it is harder to trade in a bear market.

Indeed, trading now brings at least some benefit, unlike long positions, whose strategy turned out to be a complete collapse.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's so useful for new traders those who like me. Could you please give me an advice where to learn about TA? Exclude coins/ tokens you mentioned, do you trade any other altcoins and how many trading orders per day to improve your profit? 

I don't think it will be applicable in all situations. Just like now. Even though how many times you trade your coins I don't think your portfolio will increase to the point where it will become profitable. And even sustain it's price during the green market.

OP is giving you the best possible advice on the forum.
I've started scalping - 50 trades a day AT LEAST.
Yesterday got from 0.01 BTC to 0.12 on a test account.
This should tell you all you need to know about the possibilities in an uncertain market.

Trading is only better when market is stable but right now its so unstable ,one wrong call its gone for good ,for me I'm not so good at trading and I'm not ready to lose my coins ,go for it if the out are good at it

Been here for a while but you are greater than me (though comparison is not important) in terms of your trading skills, whether it's from your religious analysis or pure luck. 120% in just one day is so rare considering the current state of the market. But since you were playing on a test account, maybe you should now try the real one.

if you are not ready to accept lose, better to quit from market as soon as possible.this is not too late if you want to save your money.actually unstable market give us huge opportunity.

50 trades a day, that's a lot. I'm sure you have a lot of money. but for me who has limited money is very difficult to trade by scalping.

I prefer to experience until the market recovers, just start trading again.

Trading is indeed the way to make profits in any kind of market. But when you have come to the conclusion that you really want to get into this whole trading game, you really should do your homework and do it thoroughly.

Trading is a mix of luck and intuition + attention and your ability to see what is going on in the bigger picture.

Trading is an awesome instrument of increasing your savings, but do not forget that not every trader is successful. There are so much stories from people that have lost all their money just within several days by starting trading without any knowledge.

yes, but this is not so simple and come with a high potential risk i want to trade but i'm only experienced in the long-term trading and discovering hidden gems good luck for all traders

Trading has a big factor here for us to earn anyhow in crypto's or bitcoinBTC.  Without this concepts, for sure majority that most community now are not here anymore. And for me, traders is the heart of this business. Whether bearish or bullish we can still both had a chance to earn Bitcoin or Cryptos.

You still need knowledge about technical analysis if you want to do that because if you do not have that knowledge and skill you could sell your coins for a stable coin just before it skyrockets and while you will still hold the same value in fiat the amount of coins that you are holding will go down since you decided to sell at the worst possible time.

I am also fully convinced that trading during this period becomes an excellent opportunity to generate income and valuable experience for successful work in the crypto market. But I want to warn many newbies - before starting trading, it is imperative to obtain the appropriate knowledge and skills to minimize the possible risks.

Of course, but keep in mund that margin trading is something what will stress your portfolio to the high risk!
You should be carefull with margin trading, this is my advice!

I still do not understand people that are trading in manipulated market. If I want to trade, I will go to classic stock market and trade here, where trading indicators, analysis have sense. But here not, pumps and dumps when you do not expect it.

All because in the classical markets it is more and more stable, which means that the potential profit is less. In the crypto market, the risks are higher, but the profits too.

Then why you are here wearing that signature of fork coin?

For now, trading has been keeping afloat in this bearish crypto situation. If I wait for my investments to go up, I would have gone bankrupt now. When I realized the middle of the year that the market won't be going up soon as predicted by many, I decided to trade portion of my assets and it has somehow sustained me.

Perhaps the best case trading in a bear market is thru margin trading? Though its mostly focused on Poloniex (there is margin trading), Binance and Bittrex. The guy probably included ETH now or it's a big regret not riding the big news and upgrades to come.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, this is very useful for me. I often split my investments, 30% in USDT and 70% in BTC. And the most important thing is to restrain your greed and fear.

It can also serve as a key to the loss of your deposit if you are not well able to trade or are not ready for the unpredictability of the crypto market. Trading is best in more stable markets.

Excluding trading the best way to increase ones portfolio in bear market is to keep buying the dips,I know nothing about trading and last time I tried I ended up losing all my coins

of course, trading crypto must indeed have its own expertise which can specifically be applied to trading techniques. because with market conditions like now trading crypto assets must have good calculations. I myself have not returned to the crypto trade, I will wait until later it will improve and I think it is good to start trading again.

Trading is a great opportunity to increase your number of coins during the bear market but this will not
insure automatically profitability. It can happen that you increase the number of your coins significantly
but in value you still remain in loss with your portfolio. In bear market sometimes it is more profitable to
short your coins instead of trading.

This thread actually has the basics of trading, well thanks for the information but what do you think will be the best platform to do some trading? Binance? bitfinex? bittrex? May you recommend some?

You have named good exchanges. But if to pick one, I would choose binance because it's so user-friendly aside from having big volumes and lesser shitcoins listed.

Trading is the best option to increase the portfolio if any body know about the formula to trade in the bearish market other it may stuck your investment at any wrong time entry in any trade. So buy at bottom and wait for right time to sell.

Trading is the only thing left for us because today we no longer have the opportunity to start real investments in projects, because there are simply not as many of them as we would like. I think that today cryptocurrency is only trading.

Lots of people are actually waiting for the next bull run although it we come this year  but right now is still under probability. You are very right when you say only trading is left and this is just the basic and we all have to accept it . There are altcoins been listed as top gainers, if we actively take profit from those ones no body will fill the impact of the bear market . Trading is simply the key right now.

Just hodling your coins during the bear market is very dangerous as your portfolio can melt down. Trading is the key to keep your portfolio alive during a declining market by day trading, scalping or simply shorting your coins and rebuying it cheaper.

I believe that trading is a very difficult and demanding job, requiring a lot of time, effort and knowledge. But it is precisely this direction that becomes a profitable solution for earning income in the short term. Part of the money received through trading, I invest in coins at a cheap price, and some I use for my everyday tasks.

Very impressive but actually trading is not for everybody, at certain points during trading emotions will set in. One do not have to be a trader to make in Cryptocurrency, though some knowledge about trading and the market dynamics is essential. Day trading is tasking and very demanding. The best for anyone who do not want to the headache is to analyze any he wished to invest in and make a good entry for short to medium term gain. A stop loss can equally be employed in medium term

In my own personal opinion, trading will be difficult to help you to increase your portfolio in the bear market because there is a chance for you to a big loss in buying bad coins. But today i am glad that the bear market had stop since this year of 2019 and the bull market is starting rise up again that makes bitcoin and other cryptocurrency increase their price again, that is why i am starting to trade again and i am now looking for the best trading platform that has great security that can protect all of my assets and it can avoid hackers, until I found Darb (https://darbfinance.com/?=crowd) where it is wallet and at the same time a exchange where you can easily convert all your fiat into cryptocurrency.

Yes, I think trading is a way to protect your portfolio from this decline and even increase your portfolio at the time when the market is fall. But I don't like taking too much risk. That's why I buy and sell with daily low percentages. My only purpose in the bear season was to protect the value of my portfolio on a dollar basis. And I was partly successful because of this daily trading.

A small growth and stability does not say. The fact is that the market can unfold at any moment. And we always need to be vigilant.

Slow and steady wins the race, most people want to have their portfolio X10 in a short time, but what trading offers is a steady income and with right strategy and compounding you can make huge return on your investment in a short period of time. Everyone should try as much as possible to sharpen their trading skill

For sure it is, but do not forget that more than 90 percent of all traders are likely to lose their whole money, instead of getting profit. If you want to trade, you need to learn a lot about the industry in general and a lot of trading strategies. Be careful and do not trade blindly.

For most of traders is hard to make a profit on bear market if the coins they trade go down and down, i think only some small % of traders make money on bear market.

This is absolutely good advice because it is because of greed and fear, many can not follow their trading strategy.Greed and fear and intolerance is the most evil enemy of any trader.

Trading is the main key in order to increase your portfolio and your knowledge as well. If you are currently trading it is good because of that you are gaining knowledge and experience as well so continue to trade and make some money and profit.

Yes for me doing day trading and earning a profit in darb (https://darbfinance.com/?=crowd) to earn enough experience and profit from other people who are a good trader is a lesson that we must keep so that we can use it into our other transactions that are going to do.

Not every person is given the opportunity to engage in cryptocurrency or trading. You also need to understand that cryptocurrency is a really dangerous sector, which today has big problems with interest.

That's true trading is the way to increase our portfolio but it was to risky to trade if we do not know the flow of token that we need to trade on the market. But we can make easy if we have some knowledge in trading, And we have mistake sometimes if the token we trade is potential and trade to shitcoins.

Cryptocurrency industry is like emerging countries and crypto markets are volatile for this reason. The trading of crypto markets can give a huge profit in a short time but the risks are bigger than reward. You can lose the balance on the opposite side of the trade.

Yes trading is the best way to do so but if only you know how to read charts and trade without emotion. As for me, trading is not that good for me may I don't take my time to learn more about how to go about it. I prefer buying coins and selling them later that doing short-term trading.

Kudos for this post, it offers good details for those wishing to start trading. One thing about trading is going for knowledge first or if possible getting a good mentor who is more than capable to lead and teach. With good training on trading, only then can someone make good profits during bear market.

Trading in this bearish market requires high level of conscientiousness in other to avoid big loss, I trade on coin/tokens that have good prospect either on big exchange or not, the big coins we have today like btc and ETH started small too so I trade on coin that is backed with great idea with a real time use value such example is contents protocol token

It is when there are lots of fluctuations in the price of coins in the market, that makes it so easy to move in, buy when there is a plunge and sell when there is a surge.
This is the period we get to know that almost all coins are pump and dump.
During this time, some coins dump and never rise again. Or the price of some never remained the same again.

Unfortunately there is not much options to make money in the bear market. Trading might be risky sometimes but sometimes it’s the only way to get some profit.

Thanks for the post. Trading in bear market I must say it requires very high level of expertise backed with patience. Because most times even top traders still get stuck. So anyone wishing to trade in bear market must be sure he is duly equipped with the neccessry knowledge and how to be patient all the same.

Actually, the three strategies above are strategies that have been commonly carried out by investors but the problems in crypto trading are the right timing to make decisions in trading on an exchange. Not many people can get the right timing.

Sure, even bear maurket can geve us profit if we are traders with patience. But sometimes still we see a projects from ICO which still gives a good profit. Don't give up, never. The lucky loves the brave one.

Yep, you are right about being undecided. But the crypto market always gives us a new opportunity. So it always opens a new window for making profit. You should do some research before you make your choice.

During the bear market holding is not a profitable option. Trading can help to increase the number of your coins and  to offset the loss price. Otherwise, you will be just looking your portfolio declining and declining.

Trading is the main key tools here for us to earn a huge amount in the future. Just make sure as a trader You will choose to buy coins that has a good potentials and high volume in the market. Then, the coins must also listed at the top exchange at the coinmarketcap due to it is an advantage and high chances for us to have an additional portfolio and I think this bear market was a good chance for us to do it.

yes, fear and anxiety only make us fail more. I tried to trade two years ago, although the market was good but I was still worried when its value went down by 2%. It made my day worse and I was indecisive in trading.
But now it is different, I have given myself a clear investment plan every quarter. I followed it and every month I had a profit of 7-15%. It is a happy thing.

Day trading is surely not for all guys. It needs much time and a lot of concentration. If you make a mistake here, you lose very fast, although the chances that you will get a lot fast, also exist. And smart traders use them.

You are right and i am glad you have shared your experience with all the pros and cons of trading i will just add here that trading is not that simple as it may seem i have personally seen losses and even price action, fundamental and technical analysis are not hundred percent the way you expect even if you are sure of a trade it still can go against you so trading is complex business.

Sure! Trading is the key to increase your portfolio in the Bear Market. Market in the declining period!

Day tradijg in a bear market helps alot to increase holdings in your portfolio. Trading in a bear market needs expertise and total concentration so as not to loose ur portfolio since the market is not healthy at that moment. One need to follow every news related to the coin you trading so as to minimize unnecessary loss

Unfortunately not everyone can trade, so if you find yourself in the category of non traders you have no choice than to hodl, although am not a trader but i do hear when some will say that day trading is very risky and if not careful, it is possible to loss money so this is mostly beneficial to those who are very good in trading, the bear market has not been easy on all bag hodlers and none bag hodlers i would say, but it is nice to see something that look like a bounce back.

I also agree with you that it is necessary to carefully analyze the possible steps in the future and the right decision is indispensable to success. I prioritize the issue of updating information and considering them  ;D

Not always our expectations are met. It often happens that good news does not have a positive effect on the price of an asset. We are still at the stage of hype. Even the most disgusting coin can become more expensive only with proper marketing ...

I think I fancy the strategies you listed out in this post. Especially the use of the stop-loss feature which by now I thought would be available on majority of the cryptocurrencies. It's difficult to properly safeguard ones assets without instituting stop loss

  Mistakes will happen in trading because nobody can learn trading within days everyone will have to wait and will have to struggle only then they will be able to become good traders, in trading one should have fine skills and good command over the market, it is important to know when is the time to buy and when it is the time to sell some coins, at starting better if you trade for long term.

I fully agree that trading in a falling market period becomes the most efficient and profitable strategy for working in order to earn income in a falling market. But I think that one should not be limited to trading only. You can also participate in prospective bounty and invest in reliable coins, while prices remain at a minimum.

Not really that great to make profit during bear season, the chances of losing at this time will at the highest level and not the good time to trade. May this is the time to have a buying strategies for the future trades. But if you are an expert in trading, it couldn't be a big problem but for us who are still learning, it could be the hard time and not suited for us as a beginners.

That is true but to be honest, I do not trade during the bear market because it is way too difficult to get your portfolio increased when the market is off. I prefer to hodl and I do so because loss of value in the bear market is in the average less than gain of value in the bull market. One good strategy I love to follow about the bear market is to accumulate by speculating in coins with good potential and low market value.

I completely agree, as long as the cryptocurrency market stays in one place or falls, you can earn by trading, but you need to spend a lot of time on this and constantly study everything completely to know when you need to buy or sell something.

Stable price will not earn trader money is when the price fluctuate maybe rise and fall will make trading effective , buy doing the low and sell when it rise.

Even expert traders make mistakes. Every time scenario is different. You don’t know future, you don’t know how market will trend after your decision. Better is to have grip on your knowledge set, this will engage you as better trader? And if mistake happened, don’t cry on it. Just take it as opportunity to learn and make sure it doesn’t happen again. This will purify your work and enhance the results.

I completely agree with you that today it is very difficult to implement any ideas.  But we really have no other way. How to get a reward for Bounty companies to invest in cryptocurrency that will undoubtedly show good results in the future.  Over the past year, I have hardly seen any promising projects that have just begun to develop.  Thus, I remove new projects from my field of view for an indefinite period.

If you can follow coins that's good with this strategy then you have a good chance to grow your assets, trading with high knowledge brings good success, you just need to be optimistic and very keen to find ways for your investment, always be positive and follow how the sway will favors your position.

Trade is definitely the best way. But it is not as easy as it is written.
Long-term experience is required for day trading, even if the obscurity remains as it is now.

it is true that long-term trading is more effective than short-term trading because the profits you get can be maximized and certainly you are not too scared when the movement goes down because you have to believe that prices can be expensive again someday.

Good for you to start your profit and confidently enough to trade on cryptocurrency. I have tried trading before but it seems I am.not good in predicting market price especially from the time that market has fallen. I can't raise even the crypto to.which I am trading. So, this is why I stop trading and just holding some good.coins. I do like to hold ETH, BCH AND BITCOIN.

Trading does not necessarily increase ones portfolio during because you can trade with just a single coin to increase ones profit or run at a loss. What can actually increase or diversify ones portfolio is to buy more during bear market - buy at relatively low prices. Gain extra knowledge by performing personal studies into trading and doing researches on the coins of interest before buying.

I always been trying to experience in this field for some time,  but there are many obstacle resources that confuse more than instruction.  Would any recommend some other guidelines or maybe a tutorials that can help me a lot?

To improve the portfolio, I think we must be able to take advantage of every opportunity that exists. When we are more bear market conditions it's better to buy coins. But you also have to be careful when buying coins. And if you sell with current market conditions, I think you will get a lot of profits.

The bear market will provide an opportunity for investors to add portfolios, of course they are very selective about coins that have the potential to rise in the near future.
Investors see and analyze certain coins based on parameters that are understood so that in making a decision is not wrong, and profit in the short term can be obtained. For now, many of the collected altcoins are ETH, LTC and BNB.

I am agree, its depend on our perspective. In bear market, when others people afraid to invest and the price keep falling, its our opportunity collecting more legit coin at cheap price. Crypto market will survive and growing more bigger and i think if we believe market will survive, we can gain big profits in the long term

We had our own way to grow our portfolio, and to make that happen Trading is the main tools for us to increase our altcoins.
One more thing TA is easy to say but difficult to apply in the actual trade. Because of the feelings to have a quick profit, most of the
traders are relying to their luck instead of skills, that's the problems. Though, it is true crypto trading will always resulted to have a new coins into our wallet in the every platform.

I'm a king of greed that's why trading won't work for me ,I tried but always lose my money so I've stop trading ,if there is any other way I will appreciate,thanks for the info though ,this will help many on this forun

I won't advice this point on anyone except of course the person has a reasonable knowledge trading cryptocurrencies. This is because, the bear season presents one of the most unstable situations in cryptocurrency trading. An intermediate trader or beginner or possibly professional trader could lose his/her entire portfolio trading during this period due to the high volatility. The best form of practice during the bearish season is either swing trading or hodling your positions.
