Buying the dip has its bad side and that's unable to predict market movement You buy the dip, it goes dipper. You buy the high, it goes dipper, you convert to usdt, it starts surging ....I quit buying low selling high for now

Guess no one saw the dip coming  ;D same thing happens when Bitcoin hit 19k in 2017, analysts and co are always wrong, like 60% if they are professionals, you need to start making decisions yourself, who knows? Might just favour you more than relying on analyst, crypto is unpredictable and USDT owners will be smiling right now

It seems difficult to guess the movement of bitcoin at this time it is better to stop since and see its progress until it will completely recover, at times like this I always secure it in USDT for more stable conditions compared to be left on certain coins because it will be difficult to grow back.
Short term will be better and see the movement every minute.

If you don't know how to read charts its better to invest in Bitcoin for long term holding not trading, it's risky for those who don't know how to handle the pressure and disappointments along the way, this will make you to make the wrong decisions, if you are still with your Bitcoin then be patience, this time will pass again

Actually that's inevitable event. What is hard about buying low is the fact that the bottom cannot be distinguish well especially when btc is always volatile. With this current market, I think many got rekt since all thinks that bull run is approaching while it still at 10.5k price then boom it go down easily to 8.5k and could go lower than what we expected.

It's very few persons who will follow this principle very many others do not gain anything. A greater number buy low and sell lower even so the principle of buy low sell high favours only few disciplined ones.

Most don't want to see themselves in loss which is not possible, I don't see anything to cry about here, if you are stuck with bitcoin then hold, Bitcoin will surge again sooner or later and if you have usdt just buy some Bitcoin, there is time for everything

Its easy when its not really going to spike after the dip so maybe considering that the dip they are saying here is the bottom of the market trend. Day trading is a lot harder than just waiting for the mega price pump. But this is if you prefer to just wait. Leverage Trading should just be the one you wanna do if you want to profit even if the price dips.

Til date I don't like trading, you get rekt easily either leverage or not trading is for the pros, if you ain't one then learn if your heart desires, as for myself I prefer holding my coins till they surge and I pull off my gains

Agree, Because the world of trading is not just a buy low sell high, we are also required to be able to read charts by technical analysis and it's not easy, it takes a long time so that we can master it. For that reasons, people prefer saving BTC as a long-term investment.

It personally feels like 90% of "analysts" in social media are wrong even tho they refer to charts and patterns.
It definitely is more effective to make your own decisions at least for better understanding of the market.
If I buy at the dip I feel pretty comfortable to see currency falling further because I've seen a bunch of times when currency is falling compared to USD, but its growing compared to btc (btc wasn't falling at the moment).
So I can exchange my currency to btc in order to prevent loss and it works just fine.

Simply because the market is really unpredictable. No one really knows when the prices will go high or when will the dip approaches. Even reading the charts and listening to crypto professionals won't give us the guarantee and assurance of 100% accuracy of the future prices. The best thing that we can do is just to have patience and be hopeful of our holdings.

You're probably doing it the wrong way.
It's better to reserve some reasonable amount in stablecoin, and use that for buying dips. If you are monitoring a coin and the price of the coin dips, you buy the dip....if it dips again, you buy another dip... if it dips 3rd, 4th, 5th times you buy the dips. Better to just focus on major dips especially if you are not day trading. 
When price starts moving up again, you can then decide to sell or hold. I usually reverse sell the exact amounts of dips I bought as price goes up gradually

It is also advised that you leave some amount of coin for long-term holding, so you don't miss out when there are serious bull run

You are not alone my friend sometimes I also feel that way and this situation reminds of this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5NE2nAjnlo).
There is always a risk in investment so we should always be prepared for it and always make some back up plans because it wouldn't always go as we plan it.
It is hard to predict what would happen next in crypto market it could always continue to go down or bounce back so we should always remember to invest only what we could afford to lose, Don't put everything on it.

Buying low and selling high works for me most times but sometimes you can't just predict right and the solution is having patience, the best coin for trading is Bitcoin, it always recovers, you aren't actually in loss unless you sell

Does that mean you will give up trading? because what we always do in trading is always to buy at low prices to sell at high prices or to sell at high prices and to buy at low prices. The truth is that the method is always right only the way we do it is wrong.

Buying low and selling high will not always work, especially if the market like this. It will be difficult to know when to buy and when to sell because the market can not be predicted. Maybe we can buy at a low price, but no one can guarantee that the price will not go down for more, and at this moment, I think we need to trade with care if we want to reduce the risk. But I think there is a chance for us to make a profit although not much, but it is worth to try so be careful.

First of all you have to make the target, if you have intention for short term pariode you should have more understanding how trading work, it means you have to know the startegy either technical analyst or fundamental analyst. If you just buy right now and you don't have target profit then you will not be profitable. Like this time, a few days ago the market cryptocurrencies are really promissing but right now it is really different, most of their price are decreasing a lot and you will be lose a lot of your money.

There is something called support and resistance levels. I am sure you have learnt about those but have not been able to apply them in real time trading which is not uncommon. When such things happen. You have to buy again at the next dip if you have money at hand and ready to use. Once you run out of your stored capital for such purposes, you can stop. Note the different buying levels and then sell those lots at the corresponding selling level of your wish and when such levels are reached. Thats how you make money from this.

You should never buy the rise. You are using a flawed logic here. Read what I have explained.

Sometimes you end up losing more satoshis In the hope of making your Bitcoin grow in numbers, trading is dangerous and profitable at the same time, in which ever state you find yourself do not give up

For the time being it is not good to make purchases on all altcoins even at the lowest prices, because the condition of falling prices on many altcoins is still happening today, and that makes some traders just monitor the market without doing anything.

That's one of the bad sides because there is no such thing as a sure investment, but the formula has been buying low and selling high and this will not change, it will just go wrong if you are not doing analysis and the market goes to the opposite and did not go to what you've expect to happen, but this has been the formula it will only go wrong to the investor who nade the decision.

Unfortunately, there is such a thing, so you need to wait for the best moments when any cryptocurrency will fall and then already you need to invest in those cryptocurrencies in which you want, for example, when bitcoin was 3k$, in that time was great chance for investing, and now of course it's already scary to invest in bitcoin, because bitcoin could fall again in price.

If you are going to do the buy low and sell high principle, I would suggest that you better do it on the coins that is one the rankings since those coins has the ability to rise up or cope up after the price drop of it. Unlike those coin that is not on the rank, they will have a hard time to do an comeback since they do not have that much supporters.

I guess you just made a wrong action by just letting the time passed without knowing what happens next. If you are buying in a dip and your order was filled, you should not let the time passed by, without any update on the market situation in the next couple of hours, you should have a notification in your phone regarding the price fluctuation particularly the crypto that you hold, I don't believe that the market continued to dive without interval. the lesson to learn from my own mistakes is don't after on a big profit it may affect your decision as a trader.

If you want to trade choose top coins like Bitcoin or EOS so that when you choose the wrong path like buying low and price keeps getting lower your mind will be at rest because later the price will surely recover

That is what is called risk in a trade, because any coins and tokens traded by someone always have a risk of loss, even more so in conditions like now, where the market is still not so stable on some altcoin top and bitcoin.

It is true as you say in the world of trading we are not always profitable, when the price starts to go down then do not directly buy it we need a good analysis if it is suitable to buy it then we take tundakan not until we Stuck with a price change, because it is very risky if we do not analyze well, and do not happen as you say.

Many people there which is same with you including me, a few day ago when the most altcoin were increasing I collect some altcoins as much as I can especially on TRON, at least I have spent $500 to buy Tron and till now I was late to sell them because its price has decreased. Now, I'm deciding to hold them for at least to avoid a lot of lose, I will sell them when I got profit although it is small.

You may need to have more patience when you find this situation. If you can't control it I believe you won't be benefited even you will always lose when you try start buying some coins. So, don't make any stupid decision because hold is more important when you are losing some money. And you can take this situation as a learning in the future, because the cryptocurrency movement price will be a little same.

The unstable market conditions give us the opportunities for making gain but I agree,sometimes *hit happens and we have no choice except accepting the failure. That is the reason why I never go in a single trade more than I can afford to lose. The dip is not rational and then there is a chance of going dipper than the current dip. This is a wild market and everyone should cover his back.

This market needs a lot of knowledge to survive because you may not always be able to make a good profit from this market. In addition, the constant volatility of the market often causes a lot of investors to lose money and that is why you should only choose to invest when altcoin season appears. For me, this is a very good time for you to consider because a lot of cheap coins for you to invest in this time.

But sometimes, it will difficult to predict when bitcoin will go down and go up. And like what we see now, bitcoin price is down, and many people not expected to see the bitcoin price reach under $9k but the truth, the price still going down and we see the price touch $8700 level price. So even if you buy bitcoin at a low price, it doesn't mean bitcoin can go down because we don't know what will happen to bitcoin. We can only hope and expect to see bitcoin will increase.

The issue about buying the dip is that you can never know how long the dip will be so if care is not taken , it can lead to frustration but with patience you won't lose. But the scope is to set different levels of buying a dip and it requires a good capital and it's management.

Buying the deep is a part of the invstment and not necessarily trading. Most people are actually awaiting this privilege for them to take advantage of and "fill up their bags". Supple investors consider dips as a perfect time to take a dive in as their assurance is that someday in the near future, they will  have their investments paying off even more than %100 on their investment.

And you forgot about the being patience part to make profits,you can't expect the buy low and sell high strategy work for everyday it needs a complete cycle to make the real profits so buy the dip and just forgot your coins then comeback when you are seeing huge bullish trend on cryptomarket to make money.

You don't expect to always have success all the time in market, and even buying low and selling high will not always grantee success, because there is a tendency that the price will go even lower than when you bought, in this case you need to wait it out for price to come back to the point where you can sell,

this is why it is not easy to be a trader, it requires lot of patience and determination to succeed,
just yesterday i saw btc was low, i contemplate on buying, this morning i work up to see it even lower, so you can't always get it right, best thing is hodl for market to recover.

The concept is easy, buy low, sell high, but how to know when is low and high?  :D

What I do here, and most of the times I can succeed is:
When BTC reached 10,200 for example, I sold some of my coins because I know that when reaches some round price (10k) or a price that we are not seeing for some time, a dip will come for sure, and then I buy again in the 9,600 USD, so I won some satoshis
But nothing is 100% certain

You will need to get used by those events.
What coin are we talking about here? Ethereum maybe?
Because it is one of the coins out there which recently dropped for a lot.

But there is more heart breaking that this.
I have been following one of my tokens under ERC20 by now and it had been looking good. But, I said to myself when Ethereum goes down then my ERC20 token will need to rise.
Guess what? Nothing happened and  it goes deeper too.

Shit happens. We need to swallow the truth or we will be left with so much regrets.

Sure, how do you know the exact market situation? How do you know when the price is right to buy? All is theoretical for buying low and selling high. But when you put it into practice, it is very difficult to apply. So giving up such investment is an entirely accurate plan. You should have a better and clearer investment strategy

That's why you're advice to develop an investing strategy that has to do with buying your coins in section or fraction as the case may be. Assuming you intended Investing $10,000 when the next correction occurs, you don't go all in immediately instead divide your capital into fraction like 4 places (that's $2,500 each) as this will present an opportunity to buy at any new all time low the market achieve until you exhaust your capital.

I don't see any bad side of buying the dip unless you're the type that isn't patience enough to wait for the market to yield you profit. If you do your research well you won't get caught in bear trap.

Indeed, the rule for profitability in this market, even for many other markets, it will be to buy low and sell high but buy how is low and sell how is high, perhaps no one can answer this question for us because this market is a combination of many mathematical examples, from simple to complex, the actual recipe is available but everyone's application and conversion are different. Sometimes our thinking is good and applied correctly, profits will come but sometimes our minds have flaws and losses are normal, only can try and constantly improve to maintain high success rate

This is really the fact in crypto that price is unpredictable. We don't know when prices could be in favor of our plan that we could at least earn a profit. When buying in dip the best thing to do is being patient in order to gain since the price has its unpredictable movement. It may become unsuccessful actually when trading crypto so at least invest in what you can afford to lose.

It always depends on the coin for talking that you are buying because sometimes there are cards and tokens that have a low price or low value but sometimes it pumps up or increase its value of time. So the thing is you must research on how the market is going and what is the probability of the coin or token that you are holding or buying to increase or pump up.
Don't stop on buying low coins just because you have experience a huge loss but make it a lesson on how you will be able to get or recover on the losses that you have done. Sometimes proper research is the key on success.

yes for now it is still very difficult to predict whether this has become the lowest point of the price decline.
because if you buy now maybe the price will still go down again.
it's better to wait until market conditions show an upward movement.
yes, you must routinely see market conditions so as not to miss a moment.

The market is very unpredictable and you won't know if today's dip price will be much dipper tomorrow. Or the high price you think today will be much higher the next day. So it takes more patience to understand the market and if you don't want to lose, just prefer long term holding until its price surges high rather than short term trading.

We need to be skillful and knowledgeable before we do trading. Buying Low and Selling High is just the basic principle that we need to follow but if we wanted to really earn that much. We need to master the art of trading. Learn to perform technical analysis and forecasting. After mastering that, I think we are ready to go.

That may be because you did sell it in a wrong time, and in addition man, just once you bought a coin that doesn't mean it will go higher after. You have to wait though, and tell you, imo, buy low and sell high is the most recommended approach here, well there are some complex one but this is the most safe, and the most used by people. Indeed, irritating when you buy then suddenly it goes lower than before but just wait and sooner or later it will pump even a little and when it goes higher over the point when you bought it then don't be afraid to sell it. Your may be a still a new one, keep going man, explore.

Buying low and selling high is the most successful trading strategy if it's done correctly! What people do is buying at the wrong moment and instead price to grow it drops, what people do is try to cut losses and sell, it's the moment they lose. Sometimes when you buy and the price goes down you need to hold until it bounces back.

Buying the dip usually only works for digital assets that are long term bullish.

The vast majority of ICO-derived coins and cryptocurrencies that have been on a downtrend for much of their existence definitely don't fall into this category.

As you said, there is no such thing as a dip for these coins, since the dip is actually just part of a longer term downtrend.

it's important to recognize the difference between a dip and a gradual sell-off.

I know the feels man and you arent the only one who do experience such hardship or mistake.Yes, "Buying low and selling high"
might easy as it sounds but actually the hardest thing when you are already into the actual situation on where you do choose
either to buy or sell on a particular price level.The thing here is that you shouldnt really get easily be discourage into your mistakes
and just stick with the rules.What matters here is that you do analyze and do learn from trial and error.

Actually, when successfully buying at a dip price, the market continues to decline we only need to wait patiently the market will rise again.
Most of us will panic by becoming panicked sell when the market continues to fall. That should be avoided, because we do not need to be afraid
if you choose the correct coins if the price goes down it will not be long the price will go up again. The next mistake when buying a dip price,
most people use all the capital they have, this should not be done. We need to divide the capital we have into some parts depend on the amount.
Thus when buying at dip prices, prices continue to fall we can buy it again at that price cheaper.

yes the rule is always valid but alone it is not enough to produce profit if one buys low while the graph is still going down and it is obvious that it will go at a loss, you have to follow the wake of the graph / candles while it is going up buy and resell on the fly do scalping in short...

buying low selling high (buy and sale) before you proceed this you have to know the strategy settings to build up,i think in the middle you can be rich on this .this trade is very risk and may loosing capital

Buying the dip does not apply to all projects especially altcoin with short period of launch, few exchange listing, low volume trade and low marketcap, even when you buy bitcoin when it is going down your choice will still give profit in the long run, it may be 4-5 year but it will. A scam coin may have only a pump in its life time before going to 0. Buying low and selling high is still the top strategy in the space.

Things has changed for some time now, buying low and selling High was seen not working for safety. I was unlucky type during early weeks in this year 2020 and that has taught me a serious lesson. Self research is the best option for any trader to follow and not to just buy low and sell high. This sharp fall that just happened few weeks ago also affected me, I bought some Levl tokens and till now still holding because the market disappointed me on buy low and sell high.

Buying low and selling high is everyone's philosophy, everyone wants that. The only problem is that no body knows when that low before it all goes high is.
As such some people buy in while others not, and it is quite understandably, this is a high risk.

Many people I know don't trust themselves when to buy or sell as serendipitous experience showed them that these were the moments when they lost it all - so they instead prefer to go in when the wave is more readable of where it may lead to.

buying at high is risky and not really recomended  because when the price is high a big chance itll drop because some are gonna start selling .
buying at dip is okay and its normal if the value goes dipper but that chance is also low because once the value is on dip , everyone is buying so the value should increase now . whats bad is that you the value rises just before you start buying . lastly itl also depend on the coin because not all coins are active on up and down phase

What the OP has to stop is buying randomly without prior calculations and analysis. It was a fatal mistake. Buy at a low price and sell at a high price is a raw theory, it must be processed using maximum analysis, then can determine where the intended low position, so that will provide a better opportunity. low or not is relative, depending on each cryptocurrency with patterns and factors that influence each. So do not use it raw, can provide a big risk.

This is the risk with trading of any sort. You have no guarantee that you're buying at the deep and it won't go lower further. But one way to reduce the risk is to buy at different points in the bottom.

This what most traders (casual and some expert) do and it looks effective by then. The only reason why some of them suffer such tragic losses when they buy coins is that because they are impatient and they also think that their bought coins will rise after the day they buy it. They start getting worried after seeing the market into red color, instead of holding their coins but they sell because of its negative mind.

Then, I could say that these kinds of investors or traders will surely never grow and be comfortable within the market. Keeping themselves in crypto with full of doubts will never give them a way to improve but rather to see these people being troubled and lose.

You're right. I've been caught doing this a few times, too. I bought a coin when it was very low, but it fell even more. Just in such situations, you should consider many factors before buying. I made a mistake because I only looked at the chart.

You will definitely recover if you can be patience enough, it might be in days or weeks or even months but the time will definitely come again, and since it's Bitcoin we are talking about here there is nothing to worry about

market conditions are very unstable for now, you can see from the last 7 days the market continues to decline, and only today has increased.
so we can only take advantage if we always pay attention to market conditions, only those who pay attention will get the biggest benefit from rapid price changes.

I guess many of us still trying to recover from the last year because they already buy any coin at a higher price. Yes, we can recover the loss, and it's only about time that will answer. You will have the opportunity to recover the losses in bitcoin if you keep trying to trade, and no matter how much your profit, if you can trade over and over and make a profit, it will cover the losses. We need to be patient while we are trying to recover because that will not happen in a short time, except if the bull run is coming with fast.

For everone highs and lows are different, there only two things that we can do in the markets to make money is, buy low and sell high. What else you can do? I think no one would be interested in buying something high or selling at lower prices. Don't get frustrated just trade without any emotional attachment with your trades then highs and lows will make sense.

Yes it's true that not all the time that buying low and selling high successful, sometimes we stack from behind and what we buy for a low cost would definitely be lower in the long run which gives us no profit.

Its always working strategy if you know there the dip actually. Easy to lear, hard to master

Buying altcoin dips carry the most risk because they can easily fall further but it's not entirely true with Bitcoin, there are chances that Bitcoin can fall further after buying your so called 'bottom' but bitcoin will always recover

in my opinion it all depends on our speed and accuracy when reading the market and deciding to take action. when the market goes down we should make a purchase then it would be nice to save it for some time, because when we save we can continue to monitor market prices to make sure when is the best time to sell it. appreciate the benefits even though it's small.

I've already come across this technique many times. And what happened yesterday was also another trick. Yesterday I bought Bitcoin for 8800 when it fell by almost $ 1,000, but today we see 8400 and most likely it will cost 8,200. This is a problem. I lost a lot of money

Then you will not succeed as a trader.

Man, that is a very effective strategy, the only problem is that you don't do it at the right timing.
It's easy to say that we buy at dip and sell at peak or sell high but in reality, it will take time and experience to master and make the right analysis.

I suggest you evaluate your strategy, don't quit.
By looking at the thread title and not reading your experience, it could be assume that this thread is senseless.  :)

its very difficult to determine which is valid low , every one have different way to set their low. as you said above, it will take long time and experience to have best result in analizing low and high.
trading journey should not finished when we make mistake and failed in this strategy, we still have alot of time to improve our skill. this market really provide us many opportunity to earn money and we have to keep our spirit to learn everything.

That is one strategy for trading, the main key is the fluctuating activity of market prices. If the key is not used you can profit, but it is better to always update the market price so you can minimize the risks faced later.

yes that's the crypto market, up and down and difficult to predict. sometimes it's down but a few weeks or even months later it hasn't gone up significantly. or it could also be the opposite. but in my opinion that's precisely what makes trading and crypto investment more challenging and with the opportunity of market fluctuations, there is an opportunity to get very much profit or even a big loss.

in the last 2 years, people receive only losses. Well, maybe professionals in their field make a profit, but for this, you need to understand the cryptocurrency market and trading very well. the last months have brought a little profit, but the last 3 days returned everything on their places

Yes, the problem is that you can't exactly predict the trend, you can only reduce the risk. Many newcommers think that they can do it, that they can buy the dip and sell the high, the problem is that they still think that situation gets better and they are waiting and waiting and at the end they do not buy anything, in most cases they miss the best opportunity to buy cheap cryptocurrencies.

I see on of your problem here and that is patience and lack of information with regards your holding.  As a trader, it is really hard to implement buying low and selling high if we lack the patience to wait for the right time to sell.  Aside from that, for the method to be effective, we need to have enough knowledge about the stuff we are buying and know when the entry and exit point is.

If you do this thoughtlessly, then of course it will not make a profit. It is possible to trade successfully. The main thing is to have some knowledge of technical analysis and the market.

Trading does seem like an easy, buy at a low price and sell it when it rises. Sometimes this saying is indeed profitable if the market can be predicted, but when the market fluctuates any prediction is not one hundred percent accurate. We must be patient in trading and continue to carry out other strategies.

So what is your strategy then, lol? :) Buying high, selling low? :)
I think the main mistake is trying to buy the deepest dip and to sell the highest high. If you are not trying to do this, it's usually ok.

The knowledge about the market can be used to determine how deep the bottom level of the altcoin. The problem is if people are taking it randomly and this strategy will not bring a successful trade. Im even doing very deep research to determine how deep the bottom level that can be achieved by the coin. This is a really difficult task as when you are getting too late for a few seconds and the market will always get bump again after that. This is not something that can be done easily.

I wouldn't say it is not successful as long as you can find a good entry point.
There are several traders who use the strategy of buying low and selling hight.

But to do that, you need to do your own research, select the coins, make the proper shot, get in the trade earlier.
Avoid buying the bottom price of altcoins.

Trading is not the easiest thing to do. Especially altcoin trading. I think it's best to start with bitcoin. This will bring more benefit and profit.

Buying low and selling high for me always work.

The problem is did you really buy your cryptocurrency in a low price? I think you are just losing your hope. You will never lose if you will never sell works in Bitcoin and some popular altcoins in the market.

Just don't invest in dead coins in the market since I don't think it might be profitable even for the long term the price could go down.

true, we also have to read the market movement and determine the point where the lowest price, do not buy it because of course you will experience a loss, be patient first wait for the price to really go down then we buy it and don't forget to check the latest news about the coins you want to buy

Trade requires knowledge, experience and analysis. Determining when the right time to buy and determining when the right time to sell is one of the things that must be owned by a trader. In trading, a trader must have knowledge about price analysis through charts, have a profit target to be achieved and minimize risk through cutlose when prices dump.

Support and resistance are two things that are just as important for achieving success in trading. Without knowing these two things, traders only rely on expectations because of other factors such as the rise in the price of bitcoin or other. Price analysis techniques use support and resistance it will make traders able to determine the right time to buy and sell their trading assets in my opinion, there is a profit target when the price approaches resistance and cutoss if the price falls near the support or break-down past the specified support limit.

That's how the thing on market. Actually that's normal, you just need to figure out the timing in order to benefit with the buy low sell high. Also, you must be patience when it comes to this, since not all the time we can know how the market will respond. Sometime it can crash anytime the least we expect it.

Well this depends on the coin you are trading, if you trade in sat, it's going to definitely affect the price because of bitcoin correction, well I have been trading WRX, Hbar and Stellar on binance, I am not ready to cash out yet but just to increase my bag, I buy low and sell high, repeat the same again. This takes patience and discipline as trade may not easily hit target. Just do what works for you. Trading is way better than bounty.

It's part of the game but the formula will not change it's the inverstor's fault why it won't work, market is unpredictable you never know after you bought on what direction it would go next but one thing I'm sure of is the market will eventually recover and all the top coins will have another all time high.

Indeed, it takes patience and discipline to be able to do this effectively. Buying low and selling high is still the best strategy to gain profit in crypto but this depends on the coins that you're going to buy. So if this not works for you it doesnt mean its not effective for other traders because we have different strategy when it comes to the coins to buy, how long you will hold and your set price to sell.

If only it is as easy as it sounds, Most of the people when you ask them how to trade the only answer that you would get is buy low sell high,
I am also one of those who give that answer since I don't really have much time and it is hard to explain.
And it isn't always that way there are some crypto that you could buy at a high price but would also continue to go up.

I hope this come too. I have some altcoins at my disposal which doesnt have value and when the bull run season arrive I do hope that I can see again another all time high price for some altcoins. Trading is really pain in the ass and not everybody have patient with it, more importantly when the market becomes an up and down pattern like whats happening today.

I think you select only one coin in top exchange like Binance, Okex, etc and watch its weekly trend and set the lowest and its highest value then always make Sell/Buy order on those values, I am sure you will get a good return but time-space is required.

You know, what makes sense, blockchain solutions are developing more and more and getting to some industries that used to work without it. I am pretty impressed with the value that certain worthwhile blockchain solutions are bringing to the table. Of course, analysis is required here to evaluate every particular solution

Hello. I absolutely agree with you on that. From my point of view, strategy that helps - getting deeper into the niche you are pretty experienced in. Because it makes it easier to analyze the found solution and understand its real value

That sounds interesting. Cause yeah, the industry is traditional. And have you found any truly advanced one? Can you share? Very curious to know

Talking about me, the most advanced discovery is GET protocol. In few words, GET Protocol offers a blockchain-based smart ticketing solution that can be used by anybody who wants to sell tickets in an honest and transparent way. And just imagine how large market is and how solution can help here. Also, for example, GET team announced that they are moving into the Korean market. On top of that, GET Protocol will be the first BApp in the ticketing vertical to partner with Klaytn, the blockchain subsidiary of Kakao (look that name up if you don't know it..). And around 300k tickets are sold already via GET. This is the amazing example of real solution that brings real benefits. Also interested in your opinion. Of course, I also recommend you to have a closer look at their website to have a deeper understanding of unique features guys are coming with

Sounds very attractive from your words, thanks for the recommendation. Let me have a closer look and share my thoughts

Yep, share, curious to know. Cause I haven't found any alternatives of same high level

If you do things like this, buying bitcoin at low price and selling bitcoin in high price, you need to have more patience. Patience is the one that will help to make that technique be effective. If you are really tempted to spend your money and can't wait, well, buy low sell high technique will surely not be effective as you'd think.

Buying low and selling high is an ages old strategy and it does not work in modern markets especially if you are an active day trader, the stretegy does work in longer time frames to some extent but then again you have to be sure of reversals.

this is one of the main rules in trading.buying low and selling high.but no one know that what is the low price or what will be the low price.If you don't know how to read the charts then it is difficult to know the dip even who knows how to read the charts they also failed to predict the dip.For you I have one suggestion don't buy any coin or token when crypto market is bleeding and pumping.Try to buy if you think that market is stable, maybe it will be helpful for you.
I want to ask you one thing,If Re: Buying low selling high ain't always successful then which is successful? would you please tell me? because I am not agree with your statement.

For me, it's not easy by selling coins to get profit. I bought a high-priced coin, but Bitcoin has always declined. It also impacted altcoins, so I had a disadvantage. Bitcoin price changes in a few months are very difficult to predict. So you should also keep analyzing and buying coins when the price is completely below. And sell coins when you've got a profit.

That was supposed to be happening, but it is quite different from reality where weak hands will sell their coins especially when they saw declines and bad news. It actually dragging them down and can't think the right thing to do but to sacrifice and lose their money. It was so sad thinking how these people easily give up without considering the minds of others who would like to help them become strong and help them not to lose.

If we are a smart person, we must have to know also a word satisfaction and not being greedy always. If I could see I'm already profiting even just 1%, I sell my coins that time then buys back again when the market shows declines. That's all we need.

Actually this situation is totally matching to new coin which are listed in any exchange. For old coin still you have chance to buy any coin, only purpose is they are all in dip price. And you lost interest for new coin, if you can mention we could research on it. By keep doing from dipper to surge, you could make good profits.

It is not always easy to determine the entry point. I agree with you on this. But nothing is impossible. If you constantly study trading and improve your level, then your trade will bring you profit.

Getting profit really depends on your entry and exit points. And yes, it is hard to determine such vital points. But if the OP will give up easily, he will not learn his personal tricks to attack crypto trading. And also, if you are into trading of a specific coin, he should do some studying of that coin, check their social media channels, because you'll never know, you can get hints from the developers if they are selling or buying. Trading is not an easy task. It requires patience, time , and resources. So you should be ready to face these troubles when you are into trading.

Studying the trend for most altcoins might not be that easier as you think. When dealing with such, you should think of some risks that you might encounter. This is why my preferences is always with bitcoin and some other well established altcoins, because i know that no matter how much they dump, they will one day still come up and i will get back my money, if not additional profit.

Well, there are two ways to this thing and the first is intent.

Do you buy a coin because it is low in price  ?? so you can buy and keep and then start hoping for a higher price than your buying price?

Do you buy a coin because it once mooned and could later moon ? hoping, waiting and holding for a future price ?

If yes, then you are wrong.

You cannot buy every altcoin at the bottom and suddenly expect a boom.

You need to arrive at a conclusive pattern, research works that drives a chart and gives you what to expect about certain altcoins in few months, weeks, etc.
Only then can you buy low, and sell high conveniently.

Mere suggestion from me, kindly do your own research and make your decisions.

The personal preference is the light on the dark trading rooms but everyone doesn't have the same ROI at the end of the day. The ROI and risk tolerance level is the main determinants in the low market cap altcoins but as you said it can take months to catch the pump. Even executing the order is not guaranteed in the possible pump, so sticking to the plan is the one-way road for inexperienced traders.

It's not the wrong technique, but I think those of you who don't understand the market analysis technique well, and don't understand the risk that cryptocurrency is very volatile. Prices can change at any time, analysis can be missed, not everything can go as we expect. So you are mentally trained, your technique needs to be sharpened again, so don't give up, difficult circumstances will make you stronger.

People are getting confused to determine mine what will be the real strategy to buy low and sell high in the market. I do agree if that will always give a result in the successful progress. It's not only working in the long time frame but it's also working in the short time frame as we must be a smart trader to see any opportunity that gives by the market. It's still working right now and what you need to know to get all of the fundamental regarding the coin and be a smart person to use your stop-loss feature to determine the best bottom price to buy.

In my trade, both long and short term, I do this technique, buy at low prices and sell at high prices. This is very beneficial for me, and I profit a lot from this technique. It's just that in doing this technique you have to be patient with time. Because it could be that the price of a coin will be high after months. So don't sell if the price is still low.

It's easy to say buy at a low price and sell at a high price but I don't think anyone can afford it. Only people with long experience in reading market movements can do it and I think cryptocurrency is not the same as other investment markets because it's fundamentally different

 ;D ;D sir nothing to worry here. Actually this is volatile market and those who are lover of crypto mrket are use to this market and we can not get rid of it. So i think you should more cool about this market and wait for better options that will come in near future.

Best of luck.

That could be possible unsuccessful if you chose buy cryptocurrencies that are not strong in the market.  Personally,  I always prefer to buy alternative coins like ethereum and ripple. Nowadays,  there are a lot of altcoins that are running in the market, some of them are good to start buying and selling,  but most are not.  If you buy those kind of coins,  the possibility that your trade to lose is high,  even you bought it on a cheap price,  you still cannot guarantee that you can sell that on a higher price that you prefer.

I had the time to watch an interview with a stock market trader for 3 decades already and he said this.
"In my 3 decades in the stock market trading, I didn't bought the dip even once because nobody knows when a stock is at its dip."

This is a sign that nobody knows the dip. Even the professional traders doesn't know when the dip. That is why there are indicators that can help you in trading although it is not 100% sure that you will win in every trade if you use them. "Buy low, sell high" strategy doesn't work in trading because if it is that easy then there must be no losers in trading right now. Technical and Fundamental analysis will help you and not that shit strategy.

From my perpective buying low selling high is a good option to make some money on crypto. Maybe you pick the wrong coin to invest in. Change to other coin like ETH maybe you can gain some money from there.

All ingenious is simple.

But in fact, so many people forget about this rule and in search of quick profit lose everything ...

yes very well said crypto market is different kind of a beast.   You can't compare it with traditional market. Most of the Quotes and strategies from stock market doesn't work well here. Talking about RSI its not that simple ...even the pro traders suffer one of my friends was in gold trading and he had setup a portfolio with a pro trader in the beginning (earlier this year) he was enjoying steady gains for about 3-5 months but then market conditions changed and  now he is out with some losses.

Well that's the exact strategy of the market, buying in dip and selling in its peak is one of the best way to earn quick profit, but you need to be really active and update yourself with all the current affairs which has a direct impact on crypto. Only your knowledge and research will lead you to make the right moves.

It is better that you hold the coin until the price will go up. Just don't expect that you will gain profit in just a short time you know the prices are unpredictable.

I have been in to cryptocurrencies for more than 3 years now, and I would agree with this statement. This strategy may work for investments in equities and mutual funds, but not in cryptocurrency market. The reason is that it is very difficult to calculate the fair valuation of a particular cryptocurrency, unlike the case with stock market or the real estate market.

That point you regarded as dip might be the highest price for a while. I have been there also. It is frustrating and you can become undecided on what to do but I think it is always better to allow the price to recover to the dip price before you make a further decisions on trading. If you continue to trade, you might discover that you start losing little by little. Sometimes it is better to stay and convert to USDT and watch closely the flow of the chart

And are there many advanced solutions form the ones you follow? How do you choose ones? Because I am fond of ThreeFold Network. In few words, Threefold network is the biggest decentralized grid of self-managing Internet capacity in the world that is being built collectively by an inclusive ecosystem and owned by everyone. The mission is to expand the current Internet to all areas of the world and to allow everyone to use this Internet at a fraction of its current price

It wasn't noticeable when we have a lot of coins to trade and that few sats have just been ignored. I've been experiencing this before and supposedly I used to gain when I sell it at high but the market turns frustrating and makes no choice but to sell and save some ( I belonged to the group of weak hands)...lol

And I realize that everything won't work that easy and all our goal meant achievable if we are a weak hand and is not strong enough to risk and have patience inside. Because surely it easily changes our mindset and commits mistakes.

How long you will hold your token when another coin was doing better than your coin? this is not a good idea to always hold your money. We must be more closely to see about the fact that if so many people are always jumping from one to the another coin for profit. I expect if this happens anytime. I'm thinking about isn't it better to cutloss and invest in a better coin?

So what is your trading strategy now, usually everyone looks to buy low and sell higher but since you made some terrible blunders you want to take a break then it is a good proposition for your savings. If you entered the market when the market went down then there is nothing to worry because all you need to do is hold for the market to recover as you cannot expect the market to give you profit everyday. So the idea is to be smart and trade according to the market situation.

Well, you do have a point on that because cryptocurrency do really possess such characteristic of being able to change over time in an unpredictable manner which is because cryptocurrency is volatile. Well, being unable to predict price movement is just common with the industry we are all currently into because no one literally knows when, why and how will things be going even after a couple of seconds because price might go up or down even without our notice. Buying low and selling high is the most common strategy being done by I think almost all here in the crypto space because it is the simplest yet effective way on how you can earn profit. Although it doesn't work all the time, still people do use this strategy with a belief that market will regain from its loss over a span of time. It will be best to not expect too much that just because you have bought it at a low price is that you will expect a profit that easy because it does not work that way because price movement of the cryptocurrencies are really unpredictable.

The only way you can identify a dip is in hindsight, and there's a very slim chance that things could just go to zero overnight. Buying low and selling high is also a massive oversimplification of a part of what many traders do, though that doesn't mean it's an unviable strategy. You also need to consider factors outside of just successful trades but also risk management while trading.

The market's very unpredictable and it's true that technical analysis doesn't always work as expected, but you should always have a system in place to minimize losses in case things do go south.

Yeah if you don't have any indicators buy low sell high does not always in your favor but with the help of those indicators on charts, it will increase your chances to have a better decision on which button to push. But it is not always right trading is a very risky thing so make sure you know what you are doing. Some coins are base on news it really affects its price and some are purely unpredictable.

Isn't a cryptocurrency like that? the volatility is high so the price is easy to go up and down. That is why there are indicators that you can use as instruments in analyzing price movements. Provide a systematic picture when the right time to buy and sell. So it is not only based on the price of "low rate" but also other factors that allow the trend to rise, that is what is utilized. I am not a professional in this matter, but I continue to learn, despite several losses, this requires a strong mentality.

Charts say all. If you can't read it, go for long term.

The mistake in a low buy and sell high strategy is normal when volatility in this market is a question every day, our judgment only calculates the probable circumstances, calculate safe bottom levels that we can accumulate and hope for a recovery from that but choose the bottom as a small lottery, too many bottoms and ranges can fluctuate, mistakes a few times are inevitable. And to have the right bottom and safe, qualifications and extensive experience in the market are needed, the most important is to capture the movement of the market.

sometimes, the crypto market moves intermittently and it requires a good analyst to predict what is likely going to happen, although, the prediction might not be 100% correct. You do not also have to be a good analyst to trade good coins like BTC because come what may if you are patient enough, you will still make your fortune out of it. The entire crypto market is now more of community-based. If the community supports the project and if such project has so much community, then it might be good enough to venture into.

The bias in the market can be observed with logic and naked eyes if the trader has enough trading experience and market skills. The emotions drive the crypto market like other financial markets and finding the edge in market is harder than previous years due to the developing emerging market conditions. Maybe focusing on single crypto project or altcoin will help the OP to survive in bloody bear market circumstances.

If it ain't successful then no one's going to profit. The time that you have bought is what matters, you should buy when you are decided and you see it as the bottom of that correction. And if that's already enough, BTFD.
I have that worse experience as well and I fairly understand the feeling when everyone says it's the dip and we're all buying but it keeps falling.

In fact, people trend to choose new coins because these are more profitable coins and people will be very interested when a new news comes out. However, in investment I often consider very carefully before deciding because not all new coins can increase prices well during this time and depend a lot on this market. Of course, if it were me, I would sell the old coin and choose a new coin because if the old coin cannot rise, you will continue to live in misery.

You need timing when you really want to buy at dip and also patient when the coins you bought dump deeper because thats the only thing you need when buying coins. Because if you don't have patience in waiting for price increase you will be lose.

Compare it to the IPOs of stock market. They attract value from venture capitalists who will buy them at premium and then sell once they get listed. Its profitable but thing is that IPOs get listed at a specific time and there is no discussion of having to look out for an exchange to list them. ICOs get some bad points here if you compare.

You should not think that a new coin is going to b big in future in this sector. This is because already the sectors are saturated and not being able to develop something that has an inherent market is common. It takes time to make a system popular enough for common people to use everyday and this wont happen in a 2year scheme.

Hence if you want to trade, do it with the older well established coins. Buying low and selling high is always going to work provided you are doing it properly.

It's difficult to buy the dip because no one can say for sure where the dip is. The goal is to buy at a point that is cheap enough so that when the market starts recovering you will make some profit.

For now there is no cheapest point, because the average coin has increased in price from the previous one, if you dare to make a risk, then immediately buy at this time, because current market conditions are good, and obviously profits will also we get.

Well of course! Predicting market movements is almost impossible, especially if you do not have serious technical analysis skills. You can really buy low, but when to sell is a big question.
Most often, we wait until the last, as a result, we hold on to coins for too long, expecting maximum growth from coins, which subsequently fall in price, and we, realizing the mistake, wait for the coins to grow up again. Thus we fall into the trap.

Trading has never been an easy task as it fully requires predicting the market movement which is almost impossible. With the downtrend perculiar to the crypto market lately, even the people with technical great analysis skills find it difficult making successful trades. Most people see it as more of gambling as you can loose your entire entering capital when things goes wrong and at thesame time, you can make huge money when it favours you. The whole thing is always easier and more profitable when there is bull run as every coin you purchase will increase in value.

doing that kind of thing is now very risky because the charts now are very difficult to predict so everyone now doesn't want to take much risk to lose a lot of money so in my opinion long term investment is a very good choice until the market really recovers

you need to understand that their is no amount of deep market could be the last. the token might deep until it value turn to something meaningless. you should not spend your entire funds while buying the deeps because there will be a lots of market deep and also do not sell everything during bull market because the market might move even higher. you will definitely regret if you buy everything or Sell off everything.

You have to check the market flow form time to time if you wanna game some profits as you mentioned market flow is as not as stable prior to corona outbreak which had seen more stable. As now you if you buy in dip, the goes dipper only way to gain your HODL the coin and wait for the big surge from the market or switch to stable coin where you can not loss as much as big when you ate holding your ALTS assets.

We cannot predict the situation in this market, so it will be difficult for you to determine the price you want to buy or sell. Like a few days ago, my friend was happy to buy bitcoin at $ 7000. But only a few days later, the price of bitcoin continued to drop to $ 3500, which caused him to lose 50% in a short time. So in this market, we should watch and move with it. Do not try to buy low sell high or DCA

Not only based on the dip, we must analyze the price chart before we want to buying.
The Technical analysis method is one of the way to determine whether it safe to buy the dip or not.
Buying low and selling high is not simple as it sounds.

Yes you're right. It's only in theory not in practice as few persons benefit from this in real life. When people buy high they end up selling low when there's a market reversal from their buy point.

Continue to buy according to the existing direction or look at the chart and analysis I know the many advantages from before that has been bought at a price of $ 5,000 and now rises to $ 6500 + I think this is a very good profit because it does not have to wait a long time to wait for his profits.
Now we have to look at the graph of what's happening in the future, it's likely that my opinion bitcoin will hit $ 7,000.

That’s just how it is, and there’s really nothing you can do about it. That’s why it’s best to always use an amount that you’re comfortable with when you’re investing in cryptocurrency, the price fluctuates a lot. The importance investing an amount that you can afford is so that if the price should fall you will not be bothered and you will continue to hold for as long as it takes for the price to recover.

There are people who don’t understand Bitcoin and they are mainly newbies, who think that Bitcoin is just a means to double their money, so they invest all their money and regret later. Don’t be like such people, understand the risk and do what you’re supposed to do. You’re not even a newbie.

and that is what is called the cryptoqurrency market, there is no guarantee about the rise & fall in the price of a coin. but generally buying low then selling when high is a way to get short profits but sometimes vice versa. It is important for anyone before taking such steps to always monitor your assets and always be prepared to accept the risk in every decision you have made.

yes all depends on the placement or entry when you will take action.
if it is right then you will profit if not, will lose.
when market conditions look stable like this it will indeed be difficult to find profits, because price movements are relatively stable and there is no significant increase and decrease.

Buying low and selling high can often come off as a myth. Because this is a strategy that is very difficult to pull off for the average trader.
The reason lies in the reality of the cryptocurrency market which is highly volatile and unpredictable.
So its best to do some day trading or bot trading to make profits

This is really good in viewing but when one enter the picture you will understand that it's really true, one would buy low and sell high, next entry you would think you have entered at low, next thing that happens is constant dipping you have no other choice than to sell low after buying high
 It's just how it is. Trading isn't and easy one.

It's really difficult predicting the trend of the crypto market you know. You can't Always be right but one thing that I have learnt these days is to be patience when trading. That's one of the important thing you need to have when engaged in daily trading because you only lose when you sell your holdings.

It needs depth of analysis in determining when we buy or when we sell. When prices are falling, it is difficult to predict the lowest prices because there is a possibility that prices can fall deeper and this can also occur when the market is bullish. We better provide a target price when we sell or buy so we can be more calm

But holding on to a coin for too long can make you feel more anxious, so instead of hoping, you should accept and look for another coin to make a profit. I used to make a lot of mistakes in investing and really this strategy can not bring good results because altcoins tend to decrease more. Of course, there will still be some coins that can help you do this but the ratio will be very low because you are not always lucky to have this opportunity.

That's how the market moves. Market, here is price movement, is always true, we predict price wrong and lose, so we are wrong, remember that the market never wrong. In this case we must revise our trading plan and make a new better trading plan. Don't blame the market in any situation.

If you really think that you make a profit from price spreads on exchanges, it's really wrong.
There are a lot of trading pairs on exchanges, except for the highly liquid currencies, most of which are automatically traded by bots. For example, the difference of the A / B trading pair is 5pip, if you place the bid close to the price it will have the bot pushing the price up.

as we already know that investing in the short term or long term does not always guarantee profits for you. in this case I will only conclude that if you want to play with crypto then you must be prepared to take risks and also always monitor the assets that you have so as not to lose the opportunity to sell.

Of course it does not always successful because sometimes the dip continues even the market started to grow and that is the risk of investing.
no one can tell us which are pumping and which to dump so there is noway we can find the best to invest.

not unless we are making our own research and studies ,become knowledgeable and then success will be yours but as long as you are only relying in which is falling?the risk is always there.

Yes buying the low and selling high doesn't always go well. You may follow the market trend and buy a coin, only for the coin to begin to go dipper. A lot of traders have been caught severally in this trend. So it's not always an easy task to buy low and sell high

First, I think at this point in the crypto space, doing such might not really work out as the market is influenced by many things of which one is panic, all caused by the current virus still spreading fast. Also, doing such or reading charts now requires high level of expertise and patience so as to do the right although there might be few lapses. Therefore, for someone who don't know how to read charts, it better to stick to long term coins like Bitcoin or USDT so you can be calm.

Well, that is the nature of the bitcoin or the market, we cannot predict the movement of the market so it is really hard for us to win on trading method unless we have so much knowledge and skills that we may use when we do trading.

But for me, buying low and selling when its high is really a good thing, there is no problem that I can see with that because it is really a good earning strategy, it is a really sure that you may make money if you do that, there is no problem if you buy bitcoin with low price then it still goes down because you may not lose from doing that, you only need to wait for the price to gets high again so you may earn money if you sell it to others.

This time has been one hell of a time, predictions seem not to work,or sometimes one fundamental analysis will just disrupt the way technical analysis has been plotted, this period has indeed been full with instability, I think this isn't the time for trading especially as it concerns newbies. Just look for a good point,buy your coins and hold and then wait for moon.

Well, buying low and selling high is a basic knowledge when we want to make a lot of profit through investing but this basic answer contains a complex series of processes when what we're predicting is a whole market, special customer needs and market information, which are the factors that can come at any time, so failure is quite often with low buying and high selling. But remember that it is a failure in prediction and it is temporary, at a certain time, we will succeed, predictions are hard to instant success, low buying and high selling take time to succeed

It depends on the cryptocurrency you have invested in. There are times wherein the market prices are low but not all cryptos would be able to go along with the price increase when such thing happen, only those who are 'strong' enough would get through so you better choose the best crypto in order to make profit from buying low selling at high peaks. Also, since the recovery times cannot be predicted, there will be instances wherein profit would be dull, but patience is the only answer with regards to this.
This is the reason why holding is more advisable than investing at this moment. No one knows when will the market increase and no one knows what coins would be profitable to invest when that period come to existence. But investing is not a bad thing still. If you are that eager to take the risk and proper someday, you better choose the best investment at this moment. I would say Bitcoin is pretty a good shot to try, its price is still low, giving opportunity to investors.

You just have to keep trying and master the trade. You don't win by quitting. You can always win every trade but you should win more to make profit. The market sometimes behave funny , and you should not trade everytime. Follow these steps and you will get back on track.

It's not that easy buying low and selling high,but then,you could keep trying,when you buy low,you sell high,the next time you want to buy,the price must have gone up,so this time around,your buying low would get you less amount of the token you bought earlier,them you sell higher,buy so doing,you increase the satoshi or dollar value if your capital

If you are not a quitter then trying your best to learn the right strategy in order to win against the market, buying low and selling high depends from how your timing will take place, you can earned from this strategy once you understand the market behaviors the more you engaged yourself the more you'll be able to catch the right position for both buying and selling targets.

Maybe it doesn't work for you but it is really different from me and it was meant to be good all the time. I don't know how you work on it or you are just impatient and can't wait for the market to recover.

I believe and I know that the life of a trader isn't really easy but I don't think that this basic and genuine strategy is not effective. In fact, a lot of people are using this one because they believe that it works. Anyway, no matter what strategy that you are using if you are not passionate about using that one, it is simply you'll be ended nothing.

It's really easy to say but executing that very desire is harder than you could ever imagine I remember when I venture into this space earlier 2016 my mentor then was always giving signal and then he said buy low and sell high but I always buy low and sell lower lol

when buying cheap and selling at high prices then you must use the long-term trading method because if you use the short-term trading method it will not be possible, for long-term trading at least you should be able to control patience which in my opinion is the main factor to be able to get profit.

It has been working for me anyway but not always . It's good for one to monitor market before failing victims and it's best to take your profits without being greedy. You can sell and set order to buy at dip just relax and give it sometimes than selling and buying immidiately. Trading requires patience and wiseness. Know when to join and when to wait till price drops. Every projects pumps.and goes up, you can buy and sell and buy from another project that dipped . But truth is its never an easy thing and not always successful.

Well your so called "Mentor" was a scammer then. No hard feelings but you cannot trust anybody in this sector unless the person is known to you in real life or a close relative. Because there are scammers everywhere crypto being a non regulated asset class.

We have seen so many scammers use signals groups to scam newbies and there is nothing that can be done legally against them. Because they didnt force you to trade, you did so on your free will. It is better to do your own research and make decisions based on that. Getting rich does not happen by someone telling you how to get rich.

This happens usually since no one can really predict what will be the deepest dip and what would be the peak. However, if you are buying the dip and aiming for a long-term hold, such loss can be avoided. This is sustainable if you are rich and has excess money for investment. The market is indeed omplicated, that is also the reason why it is profitable.

You need to reconsider before doing this, I mean when the price is high then you sell as soon as possible because the opportunity does not come 2 times unless you hold or trade BTC then you don't need to worry when you see the price go down. It is important to always remember that if you trade, to always monitor the assets you are trading so as not to lose the moment to sell.

it will only work when the market is stable and it stays between in a range. It is a very good and effective strategy though you can not use this strategy in such a market condition when the market is moving only one direction. But still, its the best way to make money but you need to predict the market right. People just buy high and sell low in fear to lose the best entry.

When you buy coins do analyze and use a good strategy. A trader sometimes they can't wait to see the low price. And hurry to decide to buy coins. However, once the coins are bought, the price does not rise but the prices decline. You don't panic but analyze and study the sales charts.

It would be better to buy top coins like Ethereum and Bitcoin. Bitcoin after collapsing now prices continue to experience growth. I recommend buying Bitcoin, but you are not greedy. When the price has climbed and given you a profit, the coin should be your sell. It is better to get a bit of profit than you have to take risks.

Only if you buy the wrong coin I guess, let's say you have the chance to buy btc at dip and hold for it to recover, definitely that will be successful to me, thus, I believe if you are lucky to buy a good coin at low price and exercise patience for it to increase again then you have gain from it,
It all depends on what you buy actually, if it is shit coin, then only a miracle will help.

There are several strategies to this, you can't just buy low because a project dipped in price.
You need to do more researches and also understand the trade charts.

Engaging in more researches equalling helps.

That mistake occurred probably because you bought a total shitcoin. buying low and selling high is very possible, particularly when you are dealing with a top coin. there are top altcoins that you can deal with, successfully, even while still practising how to buy low and sell high. Also, you thought you had bought low, but you never waited to see the price stabilized before buying.. A coin might be low and in the next few minutes or seconds, you see it going lower further. It means going into that might be a grave mistake. Wait to let it stabilize around a particular price, but not when it has really gon uptrend.

it's also a good step before making a short trade. as we know that trading is a way to get quick profits but it is very risky for those who do not have basic knowledge or cannot observe crypto price movements. if someone only relies on basic techniques or is still a beginner it is better to start with small capital, coins have a price development, and are not greedy.

There is no such thing as stable or moving between in a range, otherwise people would not complain as they can make easy money.
the fact that the market is very volatile, a high risk, that would tell it's hard to predict, and a trader needs to be smart enough to be able to do the right timing.

For a trader to be successful, he needs to know how to make a good decision, regardless of the market condition, as long as the price is moving, he should be able to find a way to enter and exit at a good timing.

How funny that sound! Serious how many traders, investors do more research when there is a dip in the market? Tell me, will you do more research when eth price dip, or bnb, bch, ltc btc, link, dash.... nobody actually have time to do any research again before buying, this are very easy to say, people hardly ever put them into practice,
In fact,  it is because we are still partly on bear market,  during the time of bull run, will you do research before jumping into any available dip, the price is not waiting for you, once you miss that opportunity it is gone, I miss opportunity to rebuy bch at $167 and now am hoping it will come back, just hope.

That method of trading seem to work for the years back when the cryptocurrency market was very fresh and bullish like no other but we'll know how different the cryptocurrency market looks now as it is not easily be match any longer. The get quick rich has gone to exit. Before you can actually make some decent gains in trading you must understand how to exploit opportunities around the world of cryptocurrency and not just buying low and sell high. Don't be deceive that buy low and sell high is all about trade be warn.

This is still the same volatile market, be specific on the year because if you are referring about year 2017, then of course trading is easy as most coins are very predictable, in fact I made great profit that time.

But, if that was before 2017, market is still volatile, its unpredictable and we can compare the same market now.
The thing is, we should not think that trading is easy at any situation as that would make us very unrealistic, we need to study the market and familiarize its movement, and it should be a continues study.

The market price indeed fell lower than what is expected proving how unpredictable the market is. Another problem aside from not knowing how low will it fall and also when will the uprise occur. It would be a matter of waiting game and also, speculation. Investing would include having a dead profit but what would be more important is the moment profit will take place and that is also the actual moment that the market will recover.

With regards to OP's decision to stop buying during the 'low' periods, well, that is not a bad thing to do. It would be worse if one would push things to go with his own likings because in the first place, that would be impossible. Frustration is more likely to be the outcome. But there are still people who believe that much. It seems like they are making their own opportunity from investing on coins in which will have a comeback, and doing so for them, is worthy. We just do all have our own methodsin this market.

Dont just buy and buy low prices . Just read the news about them. Join the telegram group of the coin your investing on it might help you .
And if youre buying on known coin its okay to have a long term when you bought it on low price. Because it will rise up soon. Cryptocurrency will take over the world because of technology

I don't think so? The way I think was if you buy coins or tokens on a very low price or value then there is a high chance that you may be able to
earn more because when it pumps up you can sell it more or much higher in which you can just earn money and profit by just doing that.

buying on average will be the right solution, if you can read the indicators, then you can know when the right time to collect them, but if not, then you will as you have done so far, focus and stay calm that is the key

Your strategy is not out of the ordinary, such a business policy is capable of delivering good results and there is great potential for greater profitability. However, it is doubtful whether the same policy will work repeatedly. Therefore, if you do not walk in the same direction, sometimes changing the way of the walk, you will not be able to eat the hatch.

yes, buy low then sell when prices are high sometimes it doesn't always work. but from there you can find out how to manage capital and get profits when investing in the short term. important for a trader, must be mentally prepared, can manage financial management well, not greedy, and always monitor the coins you trade.

No trader will always be 100% correct with their trade analysis and trades. You just have to accept whatever the market gives you and bow out. Losing a trade doesn't mean the end.

How do you know the average price of a coin? I will way everyone must look at the fact when we have bought bitcoin at the dipping price less than 4k and this time we are doubling our money.
The average price is something that can't be determined easily and we must try to take various level of price to anticipate the bottom but buy the bottom price always become the best decision.

I was caught in this few days back when I bought neo at 7$ but I have to wait for weeks and now neo is at 8$ per one, I guess the real trick is waiting for the right time, crypto trading requires one thing that's patience

everyone has different strategies and methods before making short-term trading or investing in the long term. but generally to get profit is to buy low and sell when prices are high. this is relatively easy but sometimes it doesn't work because people are too naive or want to get more profit without them knowing.

OP probably cannot decide what to do. You either day trade and if the price goes lower after your purchase you sell at a loss and buy again to start a next trade lower, or you go for swing trades and if it goes a bit lower you keep holding waiting for it to bounce back up. If it bounces back lower than you bought you still sell at a loss and this is your failed trade but if it goes higher you profit.

If you buy like a day trader but get discouraged by every small loss and don't buy back lower out of fear of repeating the loss you will lose the money anyway but also the chance to get back on track.

people are naive in that they invest and want to make huge profits in a short time, but in order to make a profit in the short term you need to have a lot of experience as a professional trader or you should have some information which no one has

It will only not be successful if you get in the haste to sell your holdings once you realize that the coin is not rising anymore after you bought the dip. first of all, before you ever go into such purchase you should have observed the coin's market trend over the time to know its high and low so that when you buy you have some assurance that once the crypto market start to boom all over again it will surely rise to that price.

If you pass more time in cryptocurrency, you will more experience. From me I would advise you to passed at least 4 years then you will know what is coming pump or dump. In 2018 everyone was felling frustrated for crypto situation, some investor didn't believe that it will turn back. But who has experience, surly he knows that price will turn back. Still altcoins price is flat, you shouldn't miss it.

That's not really the truth even veteran traders still have hard time accurately predicting what's gonna happen in the future. There's no certainty when pump and dump gonna occur even if you have traded for many years and know all the trading pattern but that doesn't guarantee anything will go as planned.

It is painful when you buy the dip and it just keeps getting dipper or you take profit and convert to usdt only to see that the coin you sold keeps pushing up in price. The best thing is to swing trade frequently and utilize stop-loss too.

You are moving in the right direction. There is no guarantee that anyone will be tricked into buying if they are tricked into buying. However, if someone buys a win at the time of purchase, he will never fall into the loss of God. Because he was awarded of the subject and went towards it.

The volatility of cryptocurrency makes it very unpredictable, there is no times as the best to buy because you don't know what happens the next minute. About 3yrs back I bought Powr token when it dip, shit went dipper for like 1 year it never came back to the price I bought. If you buy in dip or in bull and still made profit you should count yourself as a lucky person. Cryptocurrency market is a hard task even to those that can study the graph 📊

Might as well convert on investing to stocks right now. Big companies going to the dip right now and we all know that when the crisis is over they'll go up again. Did I just state the obvious? haha

The market is really unpredicted, we cant say if we made the right decision for buying or selling because we never know the next movement of the price. Thats why its better to only invest a spare money or a money you can afford to lose so whatever happens with your investment you're prepared because its not a money meant for important things.

This is what volatility means mate and also this market characteristic is why we are Earning here(of course losing as well) and also this is same reason why we love investing inside but like what you said we must put the money that we are carry to risk or gone if we cannot afford to wait longer time from the time we invested.

i have seen many people put their money and expect to grow even in 24 hours cycle,the problem is if the currency they bought suddenly fall down right after he purchase and the shit thing is will blame to the market though they have no idea about the volatile.

They like to play the volatility, some expect to increase their money significantly even in just 24 hours especially if the market is bullish, but it will not happen most of the time, they'll be lucky if it happen and it normally happen on coin with less trading volume as those coins could easily get pump compared to the coins which are trading in big market.

It's more easier to long instead of day-trading. You have to be either a great expert or extremely lucky to day-trade and always gain profits. That's definitely hard to execute.

but such pumps will not be balanced with sufficient demand to grow investments or trade. I trade daily every day with assets that have high trade-in large markets. it helps me to get profits easier than I trade with assets that do not have a large trade.

Cryptocurrency includes investments with high risk, because the price is difficult to predict. It is true sometimes when prices
already low, then we decide to buy. After that the price is not going up, but it's going down. Here the ability and experience
we are tested, we must be able to make the right decisions. We analyze carefully later we will get the answer, whether coins
that we have bought should be hold or stopped loss.

I second to this one but let's still think that doing long also has its own risk so better do some research before investing.  ;)

tanx for the laugh OP , it was like i was reading my own story , i tryed many times to buy in dip's and sell high but i also learned the hard way that trading is more difficult then it seems , whatever i do , buying low or selling high is always going wrong , in the end i stopped trading and keep what i have for the long run

Very true... Most times you buy low, it goes even lower and making you to wait endless for it to rise again before selling. If you are lucky, you might get to wait for a short time, if you aren't, then you wait a longer time or simply sell at a loss and move on. I have seen cases where prices never rise again and some of the projects disappear or die a natural death leaving you with whole bag of shit and dead tokens. It isn't always an advisable way of trading. If you must, then only buy or trade the top 10 to 20 coins on CoinMarketCap.

yeah some people just think when it deep they buy that token/coin and when it up they sell it.
that the basic of trading and all people tof course think like that, but the trading system is not so simple like that.
we must doing some research before we start to buy some coin in deep.
'cause we don't know whta that coin will grow after we buy it.

you could make a low purchase to sell it back when prices rise. but that requires quite a long time. you better buy a price that is not too far from the current price alone, so that your funds will continue to spin

Cryptocurrency is one of the most risky yet rewarding investments in our current era.

All kinds of people having made huge amounts of money by investing into cryptocurrency.

It does not take a paid group or being a genius to profit from investing in cryptocurrency.
“profit from cryptocurrency does not mean you will become a millionaire overnight by investing $100 and going to sleep. That is not how investing works.

Real investing is persistent and it takes having knowledge about the projects you invest in.
Success in any business is profit and the way it goes buy low in a right project or coin and sell high after considering necessary analysis is the way oo.

Yes, especially it will work less in crypto markets, it works better in other financial markets for crypto due to high volatility you can either go deep into loss or have risk of missing out on parabolic gains so perhaps hodling is the best strategy for crypto unless you are very sure about both the peak and the bottom.

It is not always end up a successful trading when we ought to buy low and sell high. It happens to other traders of not earning during trading. It reminds us that market is unpredictable we do not know at what price it will keeps going down and what price we’re ready in selling point.

It is almost impossible, I think that 90% of traders didn´t predict that Bitcoin will attack the 9000USD resistance line, all of them are waiting for new lows, but again, Bitcoin showed that it can´t be predicted by trading analysis.

The problem is that you do not have enough money to set the low or set the high, so you can only predict that, but again, it is gambling. You can reduce the risk, like when you know a lot of about football, but are all bettors in profit? Not!

of course if you trade without knowing how you will not succeed, as you say buying below is not always successful right? but if you know the knowledge of trading such as support, resistance, and indicator analysis even reading candles I think you can succeed

of course it's a very difficult prediction that sometimes we already predict it has gone down then we buy it turns out the price goes down and sometimes we wait for the price to go down but the price gets more expensive

I can relate, this happens mostly when you are not a pro in TA or when you don't enter a coin early when there is FA. However, sometimes general crypto FUD can dump a coin you are optimistic on, best way to always reduce loss is to set stop limit or stop loss. Trading involves gaining and losing if the trade goes south, if you win 70% of your trades, then you are good.
