I have been investing in cryptos for some years now and i always have to fight a battle with myself whenever i sell some of my cryptos or close my positions in a trade and the price continues to go higher.

Sometimes i regret selling, while sometimes i just try not to look at the particular crypto anymore to avoid having regrets. 

Do you also encounter this? And how do you deal with it?

Obviously this happens especially in the bullish market like we have now. I needed some cash so i decided to withdraw one of the tokens i was holding for long though i was in profit but the price quickly doubled in a few days after i sold, this definitely makes us angry but it is part of the game my friend and we earn for our needs so no regrets.

How do I deal with this? Easily: just think about it.. Did you ever know it'd go higher? Would you regret if it went lower instead?

I sell a coin when I'm thankful of the price I'm cashing in. So why would I regret a choice I was happy about? No one can predict the future and, as soon as I'm on a profit, who cares?

Yes, it happens a lot. For not getting this feeling, we have to make correct analyses and always stick to the main trading plan. Making trades outside of the trading plan will not make us happy, traders have to disciplined in order not to miss a market trends. The price can go down too after my sell order, it depends on the market behavior.

Yes, most of us do.

The catch is that you need to set your mind to be happy with the gains and profits that you are cashing out. Don't ever look into it as if you regret selling because if you do, that will keep haunting you until you messed up with your emotion.

I'm dealing with it through selling a little by little if I want to take profit. At least leave a portion for that coin so if ever you see it pump, you still own some and you won't feel bad about it.

I do and just forget it, that means if you are not lucky enough to hodl your tokens or coins dude. I have been doing it so many times but that coin is not the only way to generate profit. You are still having another chance with another coin too. Don't be sad and try to invest in another coin that has the possibility to do the same as your old coin.
There are a bunch of coins in the market that has very big potential for growth.

I also often experience things like that and to deal with it is very easy, let's say you never owned the coin and never knew it so you won't regret it when you see the price of the coin is high.

This happens to most of us and also the best traders also struggle with this from time to time.
However, the only times that i regret selling off a coin too early is if i sell it before it meets my previously set profit objectives
If this happens then i may feel bad if the price eventually gets there
But the most important thing you need to learn as a traders is that, you cant always be right and as long as you're making some profit, you're still better off from when you invested.

Yea i think you make a lot of sense... no one gets mad if they sell a coin or token and the price dumps afterwards.

So i think its a matter of setting personal targets, and taking the desired profits when these targets are met and having no regrets because no one has a crystal ball to predict the future and it may most likely hurt a lot more if you refuse to take profits when you get to your price targets and the price dumps afterwards

Yeah it happened to everyone and still happening to most traders. There are only a few among us that are emotionally stable when it comes to trading.

This is probably the right mindset and one that I'm applying right now.

There are at least three coins/tokens I've sold that are now 2X my selling price but I'm still glad because most of the coins/tokens I've reinvested have also gone up.

Not neccesarily mad, more on disaoppointed. But of you are doing trading most of the time, this happens a lot. But if you gain some profit in trading, I think it is enough rather than sold the coin you have in a more lower value and have some loss.

This depends on the initial target you have set. Sometimes, we will be greedy enough with this point, selling it at a rate, and being regret of the price because the price is higher and higher.
I personally never regret the selling because initially, I made a target at first selling the coin at a certain rate.
After hitting the price and the price is still going up, never regret it. Just analyze the market of the coin and how the cycle of the coin (up and down). If the coin is good enough we can wait for the market correction and buy it again and sell it again at the targeted price.

everyone will face like that, sorry to want to be angry but all have already lost the first opportunity..
but it's all the flow like that,I want not to regret it and forget it and don't look for the assets that we have ever sold and to treat regrets about the assets we sold, we made another token investment.

Yes, this is a very normal reaction for anyone human but as what others are saying we have to move on from every transaction because it is just a big waste of time to be dwelling on our emotions. Had the coin dumped after the sell then am sure you will be celebrating in joy. Funny, isn't it? But this is a life of a trader and a holder. To really make a profit, we have to sell what we are investing into otherwise we can just look at our profits in numbers and maybe expect some good dreaming afterwards. And this is the reason why determining when to sell can really be so difficult especially when the market is still so rosy and climbing the hill...where is the peak of the hill is something we have to determine.

Encounters this so many time but there's nothing we can do right? the deed already done and we can't reverse time, just take it as some kind of lesson.
But if I'm being honest, this kind of things always happen to any traders or asset holders out there, not only in crypto and they always said that they were regretting selling early. Otherwise if there's a way to know that certain asset gonna go up in the future everyone would've been warren buffet.
Just stop regretting and move on I guess.

It happened to me a lot of times, I sometimes buy certain crypto and after selling or even cutting my losses, the price then recovers. That's why whenever I sell I don't look back at prices anymore to avoid any regrets or whatever. I learned that profit is profit no matter what, if you miss out on somethig there will be better opportunities.

faced lot of time . last i remember price was 3.5K i sold 4BTC . and right after one week price raised about 80% .

I have experienced this often, and to be honest this is very uncomfortable, feelings regret are always there but I don't mad.
I am trying to think what if the conditions are the opposite, prices continue to fall and have not sold the coin will definitely regret it even more, so just accept whatever results I get, and started trying to sell coins that I have partly to anticipate things like this.

Iam relate mate let me share it to you ipaid youc and amepay from bounty when i sold it after month the price is go up.
Then in my trading experience on binance when ill buy alts and hold omg they going down the price isold it in stop lose then when i buy a coin and nothing movement ill sell it with no profit after ill sell it omg they going up cyrpto hurting me so much 🥵

You can never time the market perfectly. The fact that you sold and could have sold for more money is psychological. You could make the argument that you are taking out your initial capital and only trading profits, which would be a very smart thing to do. I would never take out more than 10% of my crypto investments though, blockchain is the next internet.

If you are always regretting your fault and you will never forget it dude. Just move on and find another gem. Think about how to generate more and more money from the market.
There are lots of legit coins in the market and you can make it again. I think that a lot of people have ever regret their decision to sell their coins at the cheap price but it will not make you get another money if you are only remember it.

Remember to use the technique to sell your coins on the various price to avoid the pump and dump. That gives you a chance to counter the pump and dump that happened anytime.

Of course this is the hardest part seeing bitcoin or other coin being pump / not ever stop its bull run since i made up some mistake for selling all my bitcoins because for some reason well it really hurts but you need to make a decision for you to move forward there always sometimes that you need to reinvest but you need a time for coins to be dump again since there are more companies who are investing there income into bitcoin, Always say this never ever blame your self for selling why? because your setting your goal once you reach it then pull out and treat your self a good rest.

Did you make a profit after you have sold your coins? If yes, then why "fight a battle" with yourself? You reached your profit goals, be happy and start all over again with a new target. Maybe higher profit goal?
Like I said, move on. There is nothing to regret since in the long run the price will keep on increasing. It's inevitable. All you can do is reinvest your profits in bitcoin or other crypto currencies and make more profits. Don't sell when you are not ready. And keep repeating without regretting.

I have been selling and investing cryptocurrency for many years. And when I need to sell, I sell, so at this moment I need funds. And I never regret that I sold at the price that was at the moment. And then I see that the price has gone up, and I say to myself: I made a profit from the sale, but I may not get it if the price suddenly becomes unprofitable. And now, for me, it does not provide any difficulties in selling cryptocurrency, since the sale always makes a profit. I am not chasing more profits because you can lose what you have. And as a result, you can get a loss.

We all want to make more gains from our investments but it is not always possible that way. Most times the market beats us to this and make us feel sad. What you should do in order not to regret whenever price goes up is to make sure there is a concrete reason you sold for or what plans you have for the cash realized from the sale. Look at that part and be contended. This is a great strategy that I use.

I have no regrets. because every investment we already have a target. and if the increase occurs after we sell it is normal. The most important thing is that I have got the target I wanted.Maybe a trader will experience a little regret. especially if the increase occurred not long after he sold.  For this we should just act normal. this is something that often happens

I am not mad, but perhaps, I regret it a bit because I can't hold for long. It did happen to me many times, but I am trying to feel natural and not think much about that because I am sure that I can make another big profit from the other coins. Perhaps, the only thing that we can deal with it is by accepting that thing and not think much about that, so we can still have confidence and convince ourselves that we can make another profit for the other coins. But it is normal if you feel regret that you sold too early, and I think that is why you need to learn more to find a good time to sell your coin and make a big profit.

Regrets will always be there after selling at a much lower amount then seeing the token rise even more. Had that happen to me on ETH (https://trade.kucoin.com/ETH-BTC). I got greedy and sold at a decent amount. Should've hodled more lol volume still rising which is pretty good.

Of course, we cannot do without a feeling of regret about the sale at a relatively low price of our tokens. This happens periodically and this is normal. But you should always remember that none of us can always get the highest profits in cryptocurrency. After all, this market is very unpredictable and from time to time every participant in this market will lose lost profits all the same. So we must treat such losses as inevitable.
I also see how much the price of the token or coin I sold has grown. This is necessary to better understand this market.

This are one of the cruel things to happen to an individual lol; situations like this makes you doubt your research skills and analysis, but do not be detered. In as much as you have sold in profit; you made the right trading and investment call. Do not let emotions mislead you.

Yep I got mad because months ago I sold my BNBs while its price was $20. It was stuck on $20 be a very long time so my patience run out then I decide to sell for BTC.  its not something that I'm regretting but it should have made my money bigger. I will try to find some tokens that dip and then will keep on holding til it pumps. Everything seems to be pumping anyway, TRON is.

I think it's the same feeling we've had, happened like that often and just regret and a little disappointed with the actions we have done. I hope that an incident like this will be an experience in the future.

A coin bounces up after we sell it and moves down after we buy it, I have experienced that a lot.
I don't think we need to get mad, all we have to do is study the trade so it doesn't keep going like this.

One can only repent when seeing prices keep rising after he/she sold their coins. The majority of the people face this even I also face this many times but one should be satisfied if he/she achieves its desired target because we can not predict exactly where the market will stop.

Indeed, this market cannot be predicted by any other method, the value can spike but it also falls immediately, and the range for the up and down is not limited, so we want to sell at the highest level is impossible, we sometimes feel regretful when we sell too early but at some point we will thank for this action, I used to be very angry and regretful when I panicked selling but over time, I have become more mature and calmer with the crypto market. This market is a competition for survival, a moment of momentary glory will not be able to determine the end result

For sure, all of us like to think about missed profit. Its an important part of investing

Yeah this can happen to anybody, everybody wants to make profit and not just any profits, I'm talking about big profits and the thing is from my own side of my story I have lost more than I've make in crypto space so I'm not ready to keep taking some unnecessary risks instead I prefer to take my profit and never look back, it is that easy

Several times i have experience this, sometimes i feel the unseen crypto power is against me  ;D, i am annoyed when i see the project i have held for days suddenly go on a pumping spree after i have sold out of frustration, in fact it is un-explainable, but you have to accept it and invest on other upcoming ones that are yet to explode,
A project pumping after selling is an inevitable situation we can not avoid since nobody has a crystal ball to predict what will happen next.

I consider myself particularly unlucky in how my trade decisions had yield.
Thought things are not going great and sold my bitcoins for 18K+, it was a 50% price profit anyways but had no coins when the price ultimately rose. Similar thing happened with BNB, sold it for $64 for a x2 profit but the price is around $300 now. Similarly sold my KCS holding for $0.8 on a loss and now the price is getting near $3. I am bad luck.

Am just laughing when reading through op's post not because its funny but because this same thing happens to me most of the time and i always feel the same way, ive had this experience many times but ive learned to deal with it, what i normally do is after selling, i close that market entirely and will avoid looking at it, but sometimes , am always tempted to look at the market to see how that coin is doing, if in this case i find the coin going up, i just pretend and tell myself i never owned that coin in order to aviod any regrets, but if the coin is going down, i am happy cus i made the right decision of selling.

I experience this often especially with new coins pumping more than I thought, let's say my AME bought this coin for $ 0.0003 and sold it for $ 0.005 and the current price has hit $ 0.05. This is absolutely impossible as it hit their ICO price of $ 0.03. but yes, this is my bitter experience

you're not the only one who experienced that stagnant KCS whose price was stuck at $0.83 for weeks and then i tried to dump mine for wasting time. all of a sudden it feels like the traders are just waiting for my dumps to be filled before pumping it. when they say buy the dip, it should solemnly be followed but hold it for a long time until you reach the profitable trade.

You should do that so you won't feel regret if you've sold and the price keeps rising for that token. You need to accept the fact that you've made a profit for that particular price whether it's going to be low in the future or higher in the future.

Forget it once you've sold.

And once you've already the money or profit you've made for that sale.

It is common to see that the price of a coin you sell usually rallies and there is nothing you can do about it and there is no point in getting mad as i always sell my investment at a profit and i always have a target price before investment in them and then i will determine my selling price and usually sell them in slots and there were times when i completely sold all my coins the price rallied 100% in the past but you just move on and look for another opportunity.

It happens with everyone of us and its natural. It is similar to having regrets of not taking education more seriously as a student, because we know how useful it was but that is why hindsight is such a wonderful thing.

We all sell and buy coins which we could have hold for little longer and earned much more, my recent such experience was with BNB as they got pumped but I had sold all my BNB I held since quite sometime like months ago.

I just let the frustration and emotions go through me because it gives me strength to hold in times when everyone is panicking. Just forget about it if possible and move on with other trades. The best way to deal is let it sink into your mind but don't let it affect your current trades.

I experienced this so many times, I even have one experienced where the gap is just one hour after I sold it the price jumped 10% highrer, my biggest regret was UNI I could have relaxed,  I have two claims if only I retain the amount I claimed in one wallet I could have relaxed now with the current price, but that's life in trading you really never know what's going to come.

This have happened many times already, the lastest is amepay project, sold some tokens for 4cents and today amepay token reach 12cents per token, the thing is I feel satisfied for telling at 4cents but looking at how much I would have make If I'm selling right now really got me good but there is a saying that goes this way, a half bread is better than one

That is exactly what I do but I also learn from them as well, there is nothing you can do about a loss, or loss of profit at least, because it's done and it is too late, hell I could had tens of millions of dollars if I went all-in to bitcoin when I first learned about it and still hold it today, think about it, tens of millions of dollars, if I keep thinking about the past I could go mad.

However if you take that, learn from it, and build a better future, you could actually make a decent amount of return, and that is what I am working on, I am building a decent portfolio, that I own a lot of coins, and I am planning on putting more and more money into it, and eventually I should have like 20+ coins with 1k+ invested in each of them at least. That way I will not have to focus on "what do I do now?" type of potentially missing profits because I will just own them all and wait for each of them to go up instead of selling them.

Looking back, and thinking what should have been or what could have been, you will really go crazy if you do that. You have to remember, you don't have the coins anymore, so what good it will do to you if you change your mind? Of course, we have moments like remembering holding this coin, and now it has gone up, wondering if we hold longer. But honestly, it will not give you anything but headache. So yeah, move on and just make your future plans. At least, you can still change your future but you can't change your past.

You are not alone my friend. The regret is obvious when the price of sold token increases.
For me, I always keep myself firm on the decision to sell, looking at the situations at that point of time. So probability of feeling regret is reduced to a great extent.

In a bull market, everything you sell will in any case be lower at the price that will be in the future. Therefore, you need to be prepared for the fact that when you sell a coin, you limit yourself in the growth of profits. In this case, you need to forget about this lost profit and focus on new deals.

Sometime yes, but I always learning for all that I have done. If I make positive decision preserve it but when I made a negative decision either the decision gave me a loss or didn't give me a maximal profit I'll learn it. I mean, I'll find all understanding about it, I'll learn how to deal with the situation and I'll read everything against it.

That is just a proccess, indeed sometime a human must feel everything so as he will be aware with what has been done. And I have a strategy to fix the situation, when I've sold the coin and its price is more increasing then I'll buy back, I don't care if I bought at the high price. I've known the characteristic of crypto currency prices, if the previous all time high (high time frame/low time frame) usually the movement price will be more volatile.

Common thing and this doesnt only experienced by you but all of people who do get involved with trades and investment on the time they do sell out where
the price had risen up even more which do really leave out that kind of regretful feeling and i do have the same behavior on getting mad just because if i
had able to held up a bit more then i do make more money which can be used on buying out my needs and wants.Controlling ones self in times like
this will vary on experience, if you get used to into this situation then this will turn out to be a normal or casual day when time comes.

for me nothing to get mad, if you already got profit its good, if you will think about it, it will only change your mood and make wrong decission from then on, we can't predict the price so there is nothing to get mad about, jump to another project that is promising, and take profit , thats the crypto strategy that is best to do.

If the price of the crypto goes up, we get happy. However it is observed that more often we buy the altcoin and its price goes down. That is the actual situation where most of people get mad and frustrated.
Being in profit is always good but how you control the emotion while in a loss is a real test for a trader and investor.

This is another question " Are You Getting Mad when the price of the coins you have sold Turns another way ? I mean Fell Down Badly"? Better answer that then understand what does it mean.
We are getting mad when the price suddenly Goes up after selling when we must have be thankful because at least we earn because only Few coins Got Pumped after selling while majority fell down .
So the more safer your funds is the more thankful you must be.

When I sell a coin and the price goes up afterwards, I don't get mad.  I get FUCKING PISSED!!!!!!!!!

when i decide to sell my token . i know it the best price for me . however if the token price getting up after the sale . i still gratefull, at least i got sufficient number for my needs .

This has happened to me many times before. It sometimes hurt me a lot in the beginning. It often happened that the prices went up after the tokens were sold, so I was very upset on the situation, But that's when I started working in crypto. But now I understand that this is a market and prices fluctuate in the market.There is nothing wrong if you sell them first and then the price goes up because you took advantage of it religiously.

I don't regret this kind of scenario because I didn't do wrong and I didn't spend all the money I got from cryptocurrencies which I sold for a lower price for nothing. I mean, maybe the market won't pump if I haven't sold my altcoins that's what I'm thinking. I remove negative thoughts on my mind if I got this kind of situation. You just need to take it as lessons because such things sometimes happen without us getting involved. Maybe next time if we practice enough patience to hold for long, we can have the same celebration as the others who managed to sell their altcoins at their peak price. Right now, we just need to move on and hope that everything will be good the next time we sold our altcoins.

The majority of everyone who is here has experienced it, including me and of course you have to forget what happened and most importantly you sold it at a profitable position.
and such occurrences are common and if you feel dissatisfied with regret, you can learn from your mistakes and devise new strategies, especially be able to analyze and find the best information about the coins you hold according to your target and not regret what has happened, forget about and make new plans so that regrets don't happen again

Ever since I started investing and doing bounty campaign, I have encountered this so many times, the latest one is Amepay I traded it for only $60 if I only waited for 25 days I could have traded it for $200 or more, these things really happen, even if you did research, circumstances beyond your control do happen.

It's a normal human reaction to feel cheated out of a deal, especially when it comes to trading. However, we have to understand that trading is a profession (it isn't just buying and selling). It's a profession like accountancy, mathematics, teaching, medicine, engineering, automedics, programming just to mention but seven. As such, it should be treated without bias of emotion. OP, I used to feel worse leaving a trade only to discover the trade continued in my direction/prediction when I started out as a noob. In fact, it was like someone was stalking me online, monitoring all my trading moves and making me take the wrong route. Until I realized that was a part of me which never wanted to admit failure playing that trick on me. I have since learnt to move on once I'm out of a trade.

Well, it still hurts till date that I sold off my BNB when it was just $3+.

i know crypto in 2015 but im get in to crypto at 2017, im trading and because i get a job i just bought some prospective coin in the future after i do some research and just hold until the end of 2020 and i give up in january
i sold all of my coin such as doge, BTG, JUST AND ETH and february 2021 boom all coin explode to the moon especially doge
you must be feel what i feel
and how i deal with it ? i just let it go i believe someday i will get more than yesterday and take that as as experience and knowledge for tommorrow i will not do that again

A recommended way to trade is like that, to set your own goal rather than just following along the bullrun or bearish because there's just too much of deceit by the market chart.
I'm myself have experienced that like so many times it feels really sucks at first but then we get used to it because the market is definitely out of our control. No point in regretting I guess, if we made profit despite the market keep going up I guess thats fine.

Dealing with it exponentially becoming easy as time and your experience progress. You becoming stable and stable on how would you put your mind in-case something happen, and you would not be surprise cause you already experienced it.

But by personal experience, the first trades is disappointments and blame for myself, as I feel I can do so much better, but I always made up my mind after 1 hour of dealing with it and simply move with another trade. Cause I know myself that I followed my plan and execute it the way I hope it.

That is natural response and everyone feels this but personally i feel more depressed when we get continuosly red days in the market like we are seeing these days but hopefully the bulls will continue after this short term correction.

It can't be avoided. It's frustrating every times and there will be moments that you may not want to sell anymore but that's the lesson. Of course you should learn the next time, and don't try panic selling just because the price is not looking good. It's really good to have a plan and stick to it, no matter what. If you have no goals then surely you look like wandering and you don't have a track to go to.

It happened to me twice this very year, first was around 6000$ and the second was 4000$, I sold the first for 500$ when it seems like the dump will keep going on and the project will never recovers and the second project was sold at 1000$ and later pumped too, I would have been in a more happy mood right now but can't turn back the hands of time the deal is already done

Same happen with me most of the time. The question is why does it happen with most of the traders ?  Either its that we trade without doing the TA and FA analysis or its just bad luck. That's another reason i do not prefer future trading and happy with the spot trading.

Not really because when taking profit we all know that market can go up or down later so if goes up there should be no hard feelings because it could have gone down as well and secondly why regret if you have sold in profit from your purchase price.

It's pretty much the same for me here. I only invest small amounts of FIAT into crypto in the hope of a real life changing moonshot. So i haven't really sold anything of my positions yet because i still hope they go higher.
I recently sold all my coins of a small project who was at 18 dollars at it's ATH during the 2017 bullrun and now i sold it for 0,14 $. In that case of course i regret that i didn't sell back then  :)

Anything is possible in cryptocurrency. There is nothing mad about it. It is wise to accept everything. This is what happens to me most of the time, the point you mentioned. The price of the coin I hold goes down and the price of what I sell goes up. So I now resort to the new method, and that is to cash out whenever some crypto is deposited.

this happens to almost everyone, its a fact that no one can predict a top clearly or bottom clearly. you just have to pick a take profit point and move on. just as you wish you sold higher you could have sold lower also. its a mix, no exact solution to it. you can sell in batches , and always be sure your capital and little profit is out.

Everyone has experienced something like that, but there are some people who can go through it. if that happens to me, I will improve my trading plan, I will see the chart and the moving average price at that time. and looking for news about crypto. I am looking for momentum to buy, and determine at what price I should sell

get mad?? hmm before do trading i must know where to get in and where the target i must achieved if the target come i will close my position even the price go higher thats alright
its better to get $10 than loss $10 right??? so before all of that we have to learn more and more so we dont have to loss our money

This can't go on forever, it's possible that you don't have enough experience yet to make decisions like opening or closing a trade. There will definitely come a time when after you sell your coins, the market will fall and vice versa, after you buy, the market will start to grow.

Trading can be a emotional rollercoaster. When you buy it’s best you buy in something you really stand behind and believe in. Make a plan when to sell or until when to hold. What your exit strategy is instead of checking other coins/tokens that are performing better and you sell to buy something else and FOMO trade into something else. When it’s good it will make you profits eventually.

Because no one had made a perfect prediction when it comes to cryptocurrency. At the same time, there is no reason for us to get mad when after we have sold that crypto coin the price gets higher than the price when we have sold it because we have a reason why at that price we sold our crypto coin. And i guess it was enough to justify why at that certain value we decided to sold it, sometimes it is due to the call of necessity and so on.

The problem is such pump that happens after we sell is totally out of our control, you just can't know whether the coin will go beyond the price when you were selling or instead dumping and trading plan honestly have a very little to do with it except you want to spread your sell order across many price point then maybe that could minimize the risk of selling to early.

Never encountered that because I don't go all-in and all-out.
Why can't people see that it is a bit draining to see zero balance even if you got your profit?
Like my experiences in various coins like ETH and BTC, they were never left out zero and I just sold some bits of it then continue holding.

If there's anything I regret, it would be not learning crypto earlier pre-2017.

It's something that you cannot avoid, and will never avoid, always prepared to encounter this, I myself encounter this so many times I even had a coin where it gets pumped three hours after I sold that coin, things like this happen and sometimes, there's a circumstance where you bought a coin and it gets pumped hours after you bought.

I often experience this incident when I sell a token that I get from the bounty the token price actually went up very high for example AME and YOUC
at that time i was selling cheaply when a few months later the pump price was high, I think I get annoyed and quite disappointed

I don’t bother much about it, the only time I have to worry about it is when I sell with loss and then the price starts going up. But if I sold with enough profit and the price still continues going up, I don’t worry much about it because I got something , so there is nothing to worry about there.

It is just something that you need to deal with, stop bothering yourself so much about it, once you sell your coins just take it that you have sold them and there is no regretting or whatsoever. Another thing you can do is to set a target that you believe if you reach that level you will be satisfied, then once you are there, sell and not look back at all.

Well i'm not bothering myself too whenever i made a transaction or selling my cryptocurrency then after the price of my crypto gets higher. It's all done, and I can't brought my crypto back. But one thing that i made sure to myself everytime i made a decision to sell my crypto was i see to it that i can make out profit of it. Sometimes i made a profit not just high profit but atleast the price i sold my crypto was as higher than my bought price.

Seeing the higher  price of crypto after it sold doesn't matter or doesn't make me mad. Gaining profit by selling is the most important because it makes you Contented in your earnings. It is so much to worry after seeing the value becomes low where you have the chance to sold it in the amount you preferred. We know also the fact that the value is unstable, so the price is normal being on high or sometimes low.

I think it was a natural reaction or just a regret feeling triggered by selling your crypto holdings early and not trying to wait a little more time. I believe many people in this industry usually felt that way especially when you are involved in cryptocurrency trading in which I think a very common due to the volatility of the crypto prices so it was natural and can be avoided if you learned in your previous experiences. 

to be angry I thought not. but for the feeling of being a little disappointed I'm sure some people must have felt it. especially if the increase that occurs in the assets we sell occurs very far from the price when we sold them.
now I am more regular in investing. such as determining the planning from the beginning of the investment.
price, time, and profit were planned from the start. even though there was a higher increase after we sold I think there will still be satisfied because our target has been achieved.

i still hold 2500 credit of token as expecting to transfer to binance exchange to trade with the market, but due to higher network fee the transmission effort takes a very long time it is almost 1 week.

Yes, I know this feeling, it was with BNB, although I managed to make money because I sold for $ 100 by buying for $ 40, but seeing that BNB grew to $ 300 from this is hard on my soul. Over time, everything goes away and I feel fine.

I used to feel upset whenever the prices of my holdings strike high right after I sold mine. However, I realized that it doesn't help so I learned how to deal with it. Profit is still profit no matter how small it is so I learned how to be contented. Setting a certain goal and sell when you have reached it is a wise decision for me.

There are situation where you'll regret your immidiate action, but profits still profits and taking twice  or more with your initial investment, that's already a good trade out there.
Things really hard at first when you see that you blown out your opportunities, seeing how huge the assets went after you release
everything inside your wallet, though there's nothing you can do but just to look at it and take a deep breath.

Then move forward and look for another potential asset to work on, there are always good project that can bring the same level or
much better with the last one that got away from you.

It really hurtful whenever I sold BTC thereafter it price pumped, attimes I would go as far as calculating what I should have if hodl on  and there are also a few occasions after selling the price dumped massively due to high volatility in the price of btc invariably the buyer will bear the risk. I had gotten accustomed and used to that now whenever I sell btc I forget and move on I never care or bother about any sudden increase or decrease of the it price.

Definitely, yes and it was a common feeling that we had and sometimes we blame ourselves. But I also realized that I was all unpredictable and I ask also to myself, what if it dumps and I never sold it? That be the same and I think we never have to regret because it pumps right after the dump coz as long as we are in profit when we sold it, isn't a problem and that we are thankful enough for at least we have got some profit, not a lose.

Not every altcoin your gonna experience that pump most of the time most of the altcoin is dumping because it is just an altcoin. As long as you have a good profit in the coin it would make sense to sell it because if you have been in the cryptocurrency market you already know the risk and know how much a token could go down easily and how easily you could lose a profit in a token. If a token is increasing its market price you could already expect a price dump in that token. You just need to analyze the chart of that token and you could clearly see it no token has a perfect chart that just increases its market price continuesly there is always a drop.

Not that mad but sad and regrets of doing so. But that's the market, it's a continuous market that whether you sell or buy, the opposite might really occur. So when you sell, don't look back at the price if it goes on high again but just accept that you've sold already and took the money with you.
But if you can't then wait for the dip and take those sold coins you've got.

I have always felt the smae thing until i told myself the hard truth, whatever you sell off is gone and there i no need whatsoever, looking at the market price except you intend to get back in but for reasons of risk management, just take your profit and forget about the price.

Everyone must have felt it and what distinguishes it is only a little higher or very high after making a sale, and things like that are only natural although there will be a sense of regret.
and the most important thing is to sell in a profitable situation even though sometimes I feel dissatisfied after seeing the price continue to rise after selling, and that will all be a lesson but sometimes everything is beyond expectations and the most important thing for me is to sell in a profitable situation.

There is no need to be angry or regret when the coins that have been sold have gone up in price,  as long as we have gotten a profit it is a good
thing and must be grateful. Because we will never know the coin price movement accurately, so after buying coins immediately determine the sell
target we want. If it turns out that the sell target we specified has been achieved, and the coin price continues to rise, you don't need to be annoyed.
That's common in the crypto world, don't be too greedy when investing in crypto.

That's just the way trading is, its no different with stock market back then people regretting of selling many stocks that turns out to be a really huge and really valuable but the most important thing is that they just did what they need to do and there's simply no point in regretting over something that have happened, we sell at that certain point of price for a reason and we can't control our circumstances.

like many times. I frequently face the same thing over and over dude and it's really frustrating. I come to the conclusion that I'm not that good with trading. But then, I thought why should I waste my energy and sanity?. I just let it go. That's why I prefer investing and only buying or selling when a particular MOMENT exists. By the particular moment I mean when there is big news or rumors regarding the project. It happened once a time and it's more sure than just daily trading. Sometimes I thought, I was sacrificed so the price would go much higher lol.

Its good when you just want to liquidate it and not expecting to buyback. The people who do that are short-term investors or bounty hunters who just want to get BTC out of it. But then if its a good project token, its naturally going to go up when the team developed further. you'd gonna get mad when suddenly the price doubled right after few weeks after you sold.

In crypto problem is, you will sell now and next hour it pumps and you are starting hating on it. I've never been confident this is the time to take my profits, every time after sold out then my shit coins set on fire. Lmao, wrong again and I wonder how much money I've lost.

Frankly If you put resources into crypto, you should not sell. If you sell, you deserve to lose money.

Wow, this is amazing, when did you sell 1.87 btc of Bitcoin? because if you sold it this month in the past few days, it seems that it is not only a motorbike that you can buy, but a car that is more luxurious than a motorcycle.

Not really mad but regret actually I get it alot and sometimes I even wish that it would go down after I sold it,
But there are times that I really regret selling my crypto but there is nothing that I could do I need to sell it in order to survive.

it seems like what you experience that almost all traders experience it, it is due to a lack of understanding in reading market charts and of course also has the same feeling. In recent days the movement of altcoins has also gotten out of hand, so many traders have experienced the same thing.

Its depend on the situation because sometimes no matter how the coin will go higher after you sold, you profits was already satisfying..the situation that always make me in total rage is when i sold a coin after a long time of sterile patience the price started to growing up...thats the moment when you feel that you are cursed or somthing like that 😂

I really afraid of missed profits. Thats why im hodling for already several years

Even professional traders have experienced it, disappointment is sure to exist and this reaction is perfectly normal because we have just wasted a golden opportunity. This is the real cryptocurrency, bullish and bearish always side by side decorating market movements, and we will never know when it will happen. Don't be too sorry for what happened, You still have the chance to get the most out of other coins that have huge growth potential.

You should reconsider your strategy, because holding is not always a way out. There are great number of altcoins which value drops down everyday and it never recovers back. For example recently I could have sold Tozex tokens at the price of $1.31 and now they cost $0.7. What is the point of holding it? That is your case - "afraid of missing profits". I have missed my profit. Your strategy works only with Bitcoin. Yet again, to resist FOMO, I advice from time to time sell a little part of holdings.

In general, I'm already used to situation that price goes up after I sold Bitcoin or altcoins. Also I'm already used to not selling with highest price and keep holding till altcoins is almost worthless. That is all because you cant earn all the money in the world.

No one is exempted, not everytime you make a right call from your trade.

There's still some time that your anticipation exceeded behind your knowledge.


Affected also by too much volatility, we should live with this kind of situation,

accept and don't relied with the past, instead, work more to find new opportunities.


There are still available asset, just need to work and continue the chase.

not really mad, but just felt a bit regret ...

Yeah,,, right. All you guys talk about so many Bitcoins but here you are posting about a nonsense topic with all those losses. Can you prove you own the addresses that had those 4 BTC and 1.87 BTC?

I mean if you sold them at a low, then you took on a lot of losses. Who would do that after waiting so long? Does not make sense at all.

Yes! That is the irony known as unlucky.  I kept ETH in 2018 from $ 800 until the market was hit by a lot of bans and triggered an extremely pessimistic sentiment.  In the end, when I couldn't curb the thirst of anger, I sold all my ETH for $ 150.  It is a lesson in perseverance.  You can keep choosing HOLD the "right time" but at the right time is completely different!

I think everyone suffers for this condition. We have nothing to do after selling our valuable asset. We can't predict exact the price so it is not a worthy to get mad when price goes higher after selling.

Very well gesture, don't look back after you made your call. if everything is according to your plan then so be it.

Most of the time regrets happened when you are looking back and you keep following the asset that you already let go, it's understandable
to feel that you made a stupid decision losing the full potential but things won't change anymore.

What's done is  done! keep it that way and move forward.

Predict on Crypto market is so much tough. No one can surely tell that how much a coin Price will increase. Sometimes we sold some coin and after that this price increase more than 2x, 3x, 4x and more. Even sometimes we hold some coin for getting its Price higher but those coin price getting low. This is happening all the time. Personally i am not getting mad when i see some coin i sold and its price go to moon. Sometimes i sold 75% coin with profit and hold 25% for the future. If price decrease then i have no loss. Or if price increase i am being satisfied with that. This is my trick.

yes man, now i learn from my experience and i didn't sell all my coins,
for example: i have about 1000 cardano in my wallet, then i will sell about 600 cardano in $0.8 , and the rest i will keep it for long term

Well, It is just your choice to hold it for a long-time coz even we don't ask, you have the feeling that this coin Cardano will increase its value in a perfect time and it gives you a chance to multifold your investment. Strong hands are the only ones that can do this, weak-hands could never take that long and they will sell it immediately once they are good already with the profit.

I also do the sell in batches but sometimes, were not so lucky to have a good chance to get in timing and sometimes, the prices drop more and we feel regrets then and blame ourselves why I never sold it all while the price is high? Luck will sometimes occur here and we are lucky when we got on time.

The thing is you never know the dip and the top. You only know it after it happened. So don't worry about dips and tops, just set a price target and when it hit the target take action. Otherwise you can complain every day about price, nobody can see the future. Sometimes I feel same, especially if the coin is one of my favorites and I sell early. If you trust a coin in long term then you better stay away from daytrading. That's the best advice I can give to you.

Indeed we cant certainly say if the price already reach the top. Thats why having a set target price is better unless if you're planning to hold for long period and disregard the value even its already good to sell.

On the other side if ever you sell your coins early, then the price started to increase further, my advice is dont feel bad. Dont check on the price if you already sell because it can cause you a hard feeling of selling early. Move on or wait for another dip to buy back again.

Wow! You're every right to be mad but I'm still surprised though you sold your investment at lost price when the cryptocurrency profitable investment advice was not to sell at lost price cause the price of the market will always reach another ATH after Bitcoin halving.

If he is just holding for shitcoins, more likely he still got nothing as we mostly experience for these coins. Too bad we wasted a lot of time holding and get nothing in the end and I was hopeless then to think that there is a chance to get some profit with them.

I just hope that he got a few dollars enough to repay him for how many years keeping his coins. It is gonna be like a game of luck that someday he will be a lucky person and won the jackpot. Because reality, only a few coins that have been long-dead manage to create hype but the majority are still staying in the dark.

Despite the fact that some write that it is possible to calculate the price movements of a cryptocurrency, I think that this can not be done in all cases, which means that from time to time we will still regret selling the cryptocurrency when it starts to rise in price after that. This should be treated as normal work situations that will inevitably repeat itself. But we are human and have emotions, so regret is okay too.

Of course we get mad, when i start trading crypto and investing to new project i get mad if i sold it too early. But now after many years i have been did it i know that early selling coin is not too bad, because there are always new opportunities every day or every year. There are always new good project to invest. For example : i was unbeliever to ethlend project, especially when the token dump to almost trash. But look at the project now. Its AAVE now. And i believe some of these new project will gives good return too for next 3-4 years. Maybe its student coin, maybe other..

This happens to me all the time. Imagine let say you sell at a pretty decent amount and then the price continues to grow, I'd say everyone will felt remorse on selling early but you know what I think it is good enough as long as you get a profit in it. First of all, you don't know how the market will behave if you let your greed overcome you and ask for more this could cause a loss because it could go dip down instead of going up. What matters are you have your profit, you could still enter though if you think the growth will continue. We will all have regret but we must move on because there's a lot of opportunities ahead of us so why not focus on them.

There is not one person on this forum or probably in the entire crypto-space who trades perfectly & sells at the top every time. I think it’s always important to never sell all your stash. That way if/when the price goes up you always have some left. At the end of the day any decent profit is good & better than anything you get in fiat banks now due to their awfully low interest rates.

I doubt that people would be selling out on partially behavior because when taking off profits then most of the time it would be a full scale or all in type of selling and then
consider on buying back if there's some opportunity.People cant really just accept or do easily regret when the time they do saw the price had shoot up even more after selling
out their coins but it doesnt really matter actually or such an issue because as long you do make out profits then thats the most important.
People are really just not really making themselves on being contented on what they had gained.

of course I experienced it too, but I always think positively, such as :
1. I have made a profit, so I don't lose anything
2. How if I continue to hold and don't sell when the price has increased or reached my target and what happens is the price doesn't increase but instead goes down

therefore, as long as you get a profit, then you must still be grateful for the profit you get ;D.

I think your reaction to the change in price of a token after selling it will depend on the reasons for selling it for example if a token or a coin goes higher after you sell it but you only sold it because of the fear of a dip then he may feel bad but if you sold it at your profit objective then there is no reason why you should feel bad because they will always be more opportunities to invest into the crisis and you should have an orbit of taking profit along the way

I like your mindset. I also think so, if it's profitable why should I regret it? after all, we cannot read the future, the predictions from the analysis can be in accordance with or inversely proportional to reality. if we realize this, we will not easily regret and grieve in case of cases like the op mentioned.
we just need to wait for the good chance to enter again, it's that simple. if stuck with regret, it can affect mental health whether in trading or investing. just enjoy, and get used to doing analysis.

It is true that no one is perfect in the market who always sells at the top. This time around i sold some of the coins i was holding for years when the value started to rise simply because i was a bag holder for multiple failed projects and during the last rally i had the opportunity to cash them out for a big profit but i kept on holding them and ended up holding all of those shit tokens and when the price started to rally this time i sold everything i was holding because i do not want to hold them again when the price goes down.

Nope, its very sad to see that whenever I sold my crypto in a much lesser value I still feel grateful that I managed to earn a good profit because I know that in this crypto world it is really hard to predict when will a crypto reach the peak and when it will burst down to the bottom so always be happy in every profit you get.

Selling crypto early is definitely experienced by everyone, because crypto prices are very difficult to predict. So there is no need to be annoyed
if indeed after you sell coins, then after that the price of the coins goes even higher. The most important thing is that you managed to get a profit
even though it was small, so my advice is not to be too greedy to get maximum profit. If you invest like that, you will tire yourself, therefore
controlling emotions when investing is very important. So that you can always be grateful for whatever profit you get.

I'm not angry, only disappointed to have sold it. this often happens to me like yesterday DOT, BNB, and ADA I'm sold it. I might have made a profit, but if only I was more patient I might get more profit. I thought the price had reached its peak, but in fact it could even go higher.

To be honest yes  ;D ;D ;D it happen many times or we usually call "Trader Emotions"

there's other thing that usually happen when you trade perpetual futures

the red candle touch your stop losses but after that it goes to moon  ;D
or when you open position market dump but when you not market pump  ;D

This often happens, but I don't really think too much about it because I definitely have my own target to sell altcoins. When the market is like today no one knows when it will be as strong as it is now. some of my altcoins have experienced high increases but I have already sold them. regrets do exist but that doesn't change anything. I am a doge holder and now I should have made a lot of money but .... already sold it :'(

This is a really good question, but this one happens to resonate personally with me. Over the years there were several projects didn't practice my due diligence on and ended up selling super early before the coins or tokens mooned. In fact it I'm still beating myself up over it till this day, I just can't seem to let some things go, even though it is unhealthy!     :-\

Things like this are commonplace and now I am more receptive to this if in a sell state I have taken profit. Being someone who is greedy is of course very profitable, but when the profit target has been met, then our next task is to do another analysis to make and target new profits again.
Honestly, I really regret it when after selling, it turns out that the price goes up. But thinking logically with the brain will make our assets safer than we lose.

Well for me, it is not really anger but rather see it in a funny way. There is one thing that we do not know in this world, one thing we all don't know, even those who don't do investments. That thing that we don't know is the future. We don't know the future and in cryptocurrency we don't know when the good prices will happen. It is either you follow what you instinct tells you, or HODL, or hold a little more time before you sell the coins. And most will just use their emotions at that time to decide that they will sell, not knowing that there is still an upward trend for the coin. So I do not get angry I do not regret my decision. I just know that it is what it is and move on from there.

Mad is an understatement. I get pissed off. It's really heartbreaking especially after it have dipped so much that you start hoping it recovers to a certain point so you see without possibly lossing everything only for it to recover well and skyrocket

There is no need to be angry when there is insanity or to be said to be crazy by other people, because usually such people do not fully understand the direction of the market so they always expect a good point in the price of any coin in the market so they forget about the sudden downturn.

This is the nightmare of any trader. Imagine holding a coin for a very long time without any serious gain, and after you finally decide to take your money back, the price now moons. You will feel very bad and frustrated, but you have to move on and look for the next coin to profit from.

I almost never sell everything together, so I'm hardly getting mad. Max I'm going to sell each time is 50% so I'm always glad if prices go higher.
Maybe try not to sell everything at once, but hold something behind for the chances are you can't sell at the top. Same as when buying you DCA, when you sell you select prices, watch the market sentiment and only sell everything if you are feeling you have achieved above your targets.

There is no need to get angry if you still got a profit. Yes, it could have been better but remember: being greedy is a sin and won't get you very far in life. So as long as you're in profit (even a small one), let it be and move on. Good times are waiting you around the corner.

All traders experience this so there is no need to blame yourself or others, you have to implement every experience in crypto activities for the purpose of not being repeated in the future, true traders never give up and be patient under any circumstances to reach a new ATH.

Every crypto trader, investor and holder must have had this same experience of selling then later it pumps, have been in the same situation alot times, and what I normally do is to exit their telegram group and try to forget I ever had such coin and move on, cause no matter how long we hold unto a coin we will definitely dump it someday, everyone has a price that they can't resist to sell, we can't always  have it all you know.

It is regrettable but mad, no.  Why would I get mad for the things that I decided to do?  No one force me to sell my coins and it is a decision I made myself.  If it goes up or down,  I have to accept it.  Getting mad will get us no where and might be harmful to our health and social relationship since it will affect our interaction towards our friends and family.

I also experienced the same thing, even worse I tried to buy at a high price and ended up experiencing a loss. of course very sorry. it was an unbearable emotion. until now I myself could not control myself for a regret. trying not to look at the crypto market is good but very difficult. I think trying to find new coins is the best way so that there is no regret seeing the coins we have sold grow at high prices.

the verdict of profit taking is very very dicey and you cant really blame yourself on it. what if price dumps after you sell. ? this is also part of it. its just a luck to sell at the top but its imminent we are satisfied with our profit. but when selling your tokens , always leave out some portion as moonbag for future sake.

Yes, just to vent my disappointment with the decision I made and it doesn't make me any luckier than my friends. When the price reaches the target, I always sell it with a profit of between 10% and 30%, but at this time which is still the best moment for altcoins, there are lots of tokens and coins that fly high, even reaching 2x the usual price.

Everyone will definitely regret having sold DOGE at the price of 50 satoshis, and I am sure to regret that it must be a ghost who always looms over us and always insults us who are so stupid about doing the transaction.

It's pretty normal, I have been through that stuff like a lot. I mean, we don't know what does the market reaction after we make the action, since literally the market could be manipulated by only just one person. If you are not that type of guy and then you just face the fact and move on. But still tho, you can avoid that by reading the analysis and technical chart to predict the outcome.

I have experienced such incidents very often and my way of dealing with it is not to see the coin anymore and I assume that I never have it
forget about it and focus on the next coin

we know that the crypto market goes up and down and it will continue. Of course, many have experienced all of that including me, therefore it is important for us to continue to learn so that we can analyze the market to get the best price. the most important thing when the price goes down is not to panic because if we panic sells it will be detrimental to us. be a good holder to get the desired profit

It's normal.
What i usually do is set a reasonable price where i sell, and once it's sold, i don't look back. Otherwise it's sleepless nights and regrets :D

I mean as long as you make a good profit in your sale it wouldn't really that stressful when the price is still pumping since you already made a good profit, not really mad I guess it just kinda stressful not making the best move in your investment and a little frustrating.

The best move that you can do here is selling just a small percentage every time the market price is pumping, with that strategy could make a profit at the same time you could still make more when the price continues to pump and you could also hold when the price Is dipping.

It's kinda impossible to sell at the peak of the market and only a small percentage could take profit and your lucky if you did predict and sell at the peak of the market.

I've been through times like that.
This is the fun of investing with cryptocurrencies, sometimes we panic and sell them but it turns out that the price of coins is getting better in the future.
Sometimes we are often convinced that the coin we hold will have a good price but the result is quite the opposite.
Investing in crypto does need proper research and learning from experience to succeed.

If after I make a sale on my kirpto money investment, if it continues to rise, it really affects my psychology very badly and I wish I had not sold it. my mind is always busy saying that if I hadn't sold it, my gain would have been like this. this is very false. We shouldn't behave that way. gain is always pocket-sized. Being greedy after taking our gain affects us badly.

In crypto the price increases many times after we are sold is normal, we don't know how far the price will go up, I often experience this, but don't be regret, we can buy new coins that have a chance to go up.

I a gree with you. when I invest in one of the coins / tokens in the crypto market I feel comfortable when the coin / token I choose to pump, but when I dump I only have two choices, namely selling with a little profit or holding out at risk. I once sold a coin / token when it was dumped and after that the coin / token was pumped back and has a high price value. but it's okay I'm not angry because it's true that everything is luck.

Yeah it is normal, unless we know some bad news on the project earlier than other people.
When FUD come, people usually sell their coin and others will follow. If this is the case, then we won't regret our action for selling.
But if the project is solid, we should become the diamond hand that able to hold the coin, not the paper hand because diamond hand always get much more profit later.

Back in 2015, I sold some of my BTC for $200 per coin. I was facing some financial crunch at that time, so I thought it will be a good decision to sell some of my coins. I thought for a while. I had three options - selling the coins, selling some of my mutual funds or taking a loan. Finally I decided to sell the coins, as the prices were continuously sliding for almost two years. 6 years have passed and the current exchange rates are around 30,000% higher than the level at which I sold my coins.  ;D

I have a crypto mindset that "you cannot predict and dictate the market" so I always take into consideration that whenever I saw a good profit I take it immediately regardless on how big or small it is because for me profit is profit. I feel sad to see sometimes when the price pumps higher but I still look on the brighter side that I still get a good amount of profit.

Crypto market unpredictable.  My prediction is mostly wrong here.  For example, when I sell a crypto, its price goes up. Again, when i hold a crypto, its price goes down.  So after selling any crypto I think that was my destiny. So I don't get upset about that anymore.

Well, I feel anger and regret at first. Asking myself, why didn't I waited longer for the coins price to increase further before I sold them. That always has been my initial reaction. But for me, those emotions only lasted for an hour and nothing worse will come out of it after. Eventually I would calm myself down and think to myself that we do not know the future so we really don't need to be regretful always. What I do from That point is to sell little by little until I am satisfied with the performance.

I can see you are a optimistic person, i am not so optimistic like you. Sometimes i would depress very much that the token i have sold and its price pump soon, unless i dont know.. So generally i am not to notice about the coin i have sold.

After this Saturday, the number of people who bought dogecoin at a higher price has increased. I would have been one of them, but I'm already resistant to being mad after such price drops. Because I know that the price will roll back anyway. Cryptocurrency is all about being calm and have patience. If a person is smart enough, he could always exchange this "low prices" cryptocurrency which is on hype and growth and not only return his losses, but also earn.

I always think about how much profit I made in the long run and how much I could have lost if I hadn't sold and the price fell. It always helps

if angry it seems not, if disappointed and sad it is certain. no matter the slightest frustration there will always be because of our wrong decisions. the world of crypto & trading in particular cannot be far from the decisions taken. it all depends on each of us. the important thing is not to give up easily, let alone give up.

Without such anger, we do not always predict correctly. When I first invested, so did I. But slowly I calmed down with my decision. When you've made a decision to sell, there's nothing to regret.
Human beings have bottomless greed, always wanting more. Once you've reached your goal, you ×2×3 accounts. So set clear goals.

To solve this situation I will remember and write down the last price I sold, when the price was below my selling price. it's the perfect time to reinvest or trade. to wait for the price same with our target, better if we look at another coin or token project. But we still have to check the progress of the price of the coins that we have marked. no need mad or regret it

Calming down and making the right decisions is the key to success. What we need is to analyze carefully before making a decision to buy and sell. Once you've made a decision, there's no regret. Practice accepting.
Maybe then it will go up very high, thinking we're unlucky. Set goals for the things that you invest in, when you have achieved it, stop, . No regrets

I think its a normal feelings to become lonely or mad or angry when we sold our crypto and it goes higher after. The best way to deal with it is acceptance and moving on because if we continue  regretting nothing help and remember that time can never be regained. Also in this industry we need to learn how to control our emotions and to become always cool in every situation.

It is an integral part of a trader's life. If you trade on a daily basis, there will always be a better time to get in or out. The most important thing is to realize that UNREALIZED PROFIT IS NOT A LOSS. Don't count the money you don't have, you can go crazy with it :)

Nope! I don't get mad in the first place, because it is my decision to sell it, and that's part of being a trader here in cryptocurrency.
And I experienced this several times every time I do day trade in some of the exchange site platforms. That's why as individual traders
we really have an understanding about in trading here that's the truth.

I agree with this, because our assets including coins are things that are beyond our control, if I sell coins in an urgent situation, of course I have no right to be angry because this is urgent, unless I sell coins to improve my lifestyle, of course I will regret it in the future. the day the coins I sold were priced higher than the previous phase.

I sold DOGE 35,000 coins about half a year ago. And how can I be angry with myself now or not? Before that, I held them for a whole year, and they cost less than I bought them. And when the price went up, I sold them twice from the purchase price. It seems to be not bad, but now it is an abyss) But I do not reproach myself for this, at that moment, I believe, I made the right decision. And if you made a decision, then there is no need to regret, whatever it may be.

Risk is trading and it is commonplace. This concerns a person's physiology and time, this is what we should know when we position ourselves as traders. meaning that our initial studies and technical analysis are fundamental in my opinion.

It happens and its a common thing with most of the investors/traders and you know we can not exit always at the peak point so sometimes we regret later that we sell earlier and we can not do anything on this. So we should chill and move on and consider this as a learning. Even sometimes we are lucky that we sell at the right time.

You simply have to let it go and move on, the alternative is letting it eat you up with regret - nobody should want that. I've made plenty of investing mistakes in the past and one key point that has been missed: Don't be afraid to cut your losses either. I've bought company shares in the past, figured out it was a bad decision and then decided to sell after losing half my money (only a few hundred) but the share continued to drop until it was worth 10% of my original purchase amount. I was actually happy to only lose 50% instead of 90% of my investment and that itself is a good lesson to learn. Keep emotions out of it and accept that everyone is able to make wrong decisions, it is what you do after re-evaluating the information that truly makes a long term great investor.

The main thing that must be in a trader besides capital is his foresight and diligence in seeing and reading all the latest crypto news even though some of it is not related to trading, which however will have a big influence on the market.

Nope. That's what we call "emotional discipline", besides before you will sell your holdings, make sure first if you are fully aware of the possible outcome. Set first your TP amount wherein you will satisfied and fullfilled with that amount you have set up so that you are mentally and emotionally prepared if the amount will increase after you sold.

Going mad is an understatement. I go really crazy it felt like a curse. I sold CAKE at $0.69 only for it to pump to as high as $45 few days ago. I also sold over 100 B SAFEMARS for around $300 just to discover what I sold was later worth $73,000 just 1½ months after. One can now see that mad is an understatement. I'm even still crazy about everything now.

I have been in your shoes and have had this experience over and over again, after selling my holding the coin will start mooning and I feel really bad about it, but it's just how it's always going to be, we can't keep holding forever someday we would likely dump our holdings and take profit when we see one, so whenever I sell my holdings, I just move on and look for another gem to invest in rather than look back and regret.

Almost everyone experiences such kind of regrets and frustration. It is actually a risk right the moment you enter crypto, you may end up selling too early and see the value increasing more and more afterwards. You may end up selling at the right time where the value suddenly goes down right after you sold your coins. That's why you should always observe the price movement of bitcoin or other coins you are investing so that you can find the right timing on when to sell or when to buy. You can gain the most benefits from it if you will be like that for certain.

This is an excellent question, but one that strikes a personal chord with me. Several ventures that I didn't do my due diligence on over the years resulted in me selling super early before the coins or tokens mooned. In reality, I'm always berating myself about it to this day because I just can't seem to let go of those stuff, despite the fact that it's unhealthy!

As soon as cryptocurrency market recovers from current loss, this topic is going to be filled with new rage comments.
The longer people do panic sale, the longer this price decline would continue, the sooner bearish market would start. And that is something only traders are interested in.
Just hold. Dont let other earn on your loss.

If the price rises too much right after I sell, then I get really mad to be honest. But I know also that I shouldn't be angry about it. Because if I had a goal and reached it, then the best thing to do is selling some of the investment.

I have been in this situation so many times and I get used to it, no use crying over spilled milk, we are in a highly volatile market where things can happen so fast, my biggest regret was the Uniswap airdrop I should have waited a few more weeks before it pumps up and made 10 times profit from the initial airdrop price like I don't look at the price of the coin I sold and just move on.

Of course there will be that element of disappointment for not holding for a little longer, but you know what they say let bygones be bygones or is it its water under the bridge move on and catch the next bull run!

But honestly speaking I think when it comes to selling some of your coins it would mean its the best price and you comfortable with it best price is constantly moving so it could go either way.

already experience it many times, and never fail to make me laugh. sometime, it happen in a short time, like they dont have any sign and the price just jump through obstacle.
never regret when you decide where you want to sell, if you want to regret, just put that thing before you sell your coin.

I'm not really the greedy type, I'm always happy with selling at any price I feel is decent, cause if I regret selling it at that time, how would I have felt if the price dropped lower? We can't predict what the future holds so whatever price we sell we should always see that as the best price at that moment, no point regretting after selling, you will only disturb your mental health cause you can't back the coins you have sold out so no point crying over it.

Well, I was quite stressed out selling all the Ethereum I owned at the end of 2020, and right now the prices from Ethereum are really high. I held my assets long enough, but I sold them too quickly. however, I don't think it's just me who feels it. it taught me to be patient until your target is reached.

Not really mad, but really disappointed about myself and how dumb am I. Something like that. But the thing is that I very well know that this is something I'm prepare for when I started to enter trading. So after like a day or 2 of griefing and lamenting, I am able to get back on my track.

A very good mindset when investing, profits are always better than losing your money, whatever the value you sell your
assets as long as you have little to  decent profits, it's okay even the price pumped high the moment

you let it go. If you have that mentality you'll be able to increase chances of your success, small but continuous profits
each time you place your entry.

It's your decision-making, be contented with any amount as long as you benefits from your investment.

I don't blame myself of get mad if I sell in lower price. I didn't know that the price will become higher and I'm just satisfied with my profit. In that case, TA is very important from the right entry and exits in every trades. Being satisfied with the your target especially if have plans how many percentage are you going to get. Being too greedy is bad in crypto space, and it happened to me most of the time that I cannot take my profit resulting to much lower profit sometimes being lose. I just need to get back and accepted the profit that I gained.

Or it is much better to say that once you've decided to sell your crypto at that certain amount or value then it must have only means that you have earned the amount that you think is enough for you to be the value of your crypto, or else you're in need which makes you to feel the eagerness to sell it and settle for that certain value of your crypto. Disappointments and regrets will probably be there, you would be feel also down or freaked out about this but it is already ddone, the best thing that we can do is to move on and learn from this.

I used to kinda, but not anymore, as you will gain more experience, when prices are going up, it's a total gamble on how much profit you are going to make, because you never know the point at which it will start to plummet all the way down and you will regret not selling at that highest of the peaks, but if you sell, and even if they prices moves forward up, a little sadness will follow but yeah, atleast it's positive and a profit no?! Because even if less, but still a profit, not loss!

- Anger is a pretty meager existence in this case, just think about acting so bad, it's really very sad thing, a lot of regrets and longing for a second chance but just experience it a few times, we can understand the problem and get rid of a bad mood in just a few days. Because we are not gods or prophets who can see into the future, our instinct is to feel satisfied with the price and think it is correct, we will sell on such terms, even if we're wrong, few other opportunities will appear in such a way and we just need to finish the unfinished things, no regrets too much

That's another approach but I just feel like holding long term is not greed, it is being totally uncaring about the price but sometimes it looks like we are greedy.

Yes, I bought bitcoin when it was much lower, and yes I didn't sell at 64k and yes I hope for it to go even higher but none of those comes from greedy point of view, I want to just hold it as much as I can and keep buying as much as possible, that is just how it works when you are a long term holder, it can fall and I do not mind as long as in 3 years it is back again, and then can fall again, all I care is long term and I am not in a rush, a greedy person would want money right now, I do not care about it right now, I can wait. So, is it greedy being a long term holder? Maybe? I mean I wouldn't call myself greedy but no greedy person calls themselves greedy so that is why I am not sure how this would work.

Yes, when you sold on uptrend u must face this issue, but the purpose of your sell decision is to avoid any possibility that market will turn back to downtrend, so the answer for this issue is just forget it and remember what is the purpose of your decission.

This happen with me so many time. As soon as I sell the coin it starts going up and vice versa. In my opinion it's because the normal investor can wait for a certain period of time or bear up to a certain loss. He sells when price and duration are beyond his loss. Wise man said "market does not go anywhere, only your money goes"

Past is past，consider more not advantageous. Since the coin has been sold, why bother, the opportunity of making money in crypto market is many，if you just can grasp one or two chance i think it is would be a lot money.

I still often fall into the situation that OP mentioned. I lost a lot of the benefits that I should have received. Maybe now I've become numb to that feeling and then I just told myself to be more patient with my decision.
Newcomers to the cryptocurrency market often make mistakes. Many people left the market before the market made a profit for them.

Regret is not an emotion that should guide you. I think this is another lesson for you to move on. Yes, I understand that the project is promising and it has potential. But sometimes when you need money you have to make a choice.

Of course in fact I have one I HODL for two years and sold it and coin pump up after a few months, I am very mad to myself that I should have waited for a few months that coin is Doge, every time I think of my heartache I lose over a thousand dollars selling at the wrong time I should have extended my patient.

Can’t really answer the question in the OP because I’ve mostly only been HODLING since 2014, i rarely sell. What I would suggest though is never sell everything, always HODL some. Also don’t convert anything to fiat unless it’s productive like money towards a home or paying off debt or something. Basically don’t sell your crypto to go partying.

I think everyone will definitely experience events like this but for me personally I never regret something that I have done because it was a decision that I have made, besides regret that I will not get anything

I agree with you and I take my hat off to you. You are holding since 2014, I think you are already a billionaire. I strongly agree that there is no need to cash out all of your coins into fiat unless you exchange them for urgent needs and transfer them to more promising investments such as buying land or real estate. But also keep in mind what coins you are holding because not all coins are valuable, you need observation and the right decision to choose.

Yep, I used to have a very bitter experience because it was too early to sell my token, but that's in the past and for sure we will never be able to repeat it. it's what it's, as long as we get the profit that we want, I'll be happy with it

Selling faster because you have reached your profit target will always be better than having to wait for a bigger profit and in the end you will be greedy so you don't get anything, because current market conditions are very difficult to predict.

I have had several encounter on been unable to decide wether to sell or hold! I believe this scenerio will always play out as long as you are trading cryptocurrency! Setting a target price for your trade exit in advance usually work for me. I try to speculate on how much my intial holding could worth in a full fledge bull market. And when the price target is reach, I sell without looking back!

No? The essential point is that I've already made a profit and that my investment has already proven to be worthwhile because it was doubled by investing rather than being saved in a bank with a poor annual percentage yield. It's preferable than regret not selling because you were expecting or greedy on the market; sometimes investors' investments are still stuck since they did not take profit. If you're a short-term trader better sell if you've already earned but if you're a long-term trader, I think this isn't a problem to you.

Ok. Here this calculated only for those investors who think that they were losers after a good pump. We are all helping to price up and you are one of them. After a certain level you were stopped, someone did before you and the rest of the investors were still forcing you to pump more. We won't be losers if we think that we need profit as others need. That's it.

Almost everyone who's been in crypto has experienced this, but I personally won't regret the decision I made. because at the time I thought that was the best thing to do.
Don't push your luck too much because everyone has their share.

Nothing is gonna change thinking of it, because it is our fate to sell low. I've thought in such a way. I've experienced it. I sold on of my holding at 5X profit from the investment. This is truly good, but on the next few weeks it marked 30X profit. What to do, just watched it and got mad of buying to experience the project, and somehow I didn't buy at the top. Till now it hasn't fallen low. Waiting for an opportunity to invest at the low bottom.

True, if we still get profit we should be grateful even if the price keep going up, no one know whats gonna happen in the future so its always 50/50 when it comes to that kind of chance.
Also if instead the price going down we gonna regret it as well, the most important thing is that we get profit and not losing, we can find another opportunity next time if we still have the chance to invest using our money again.
Regretting over thing that is cant controlled like that will just add more and more burden and thats not good.

Yes i do and I think it's a normal stuff to get angry after selling for few bucks, I could remember selling my uniswap airdrop at $2+, now look at where uniswap is today, despite the fact that its a free money, I still get pissed off selling for peanut, likewise couple lots of other trades, the best thing I've learned from it is to just move on, profit is profit no matter how small it is

I'm the type that loves holding on to coins until they become useless for me so I escape this prison the day I started selling once profits are available, so the answer to your question is NO I don't get mad when I sell my coins as far as their is profits to be made on them, if they pump more later well I've already made some profits so im good

If it is not for a reason, I will not sell my coins, but if you trade frequently, this kind of thing is very common. There is no need to be angry. Everyone will sell their coins and they will go up. Regret, but we have to learn to look forward to adjust our emotions. Because the market is like this, no one can judge the trend of the next second, yes, you can also take a look at other coins, maybe you can seize other opportunities,

There is a strategy to avoid such a problem, you just shouldn't sell all the coins straightaway. It is better to sell in parts. Especially if you are not sure if it is a peak of this currency. I think that everybody had such regrets some day when you sold and then it increased again. But what can we do? It is a crypto market, so it is good when you don't lose, let's be grateful just for it.

This drive me nuts any time this happens, but you gotta move on. I still had similar experience about three weeks ago. I was holding on to a coin for some while, after tolerating the dip for a while, I couldn't take any more and sold off. Lol, three days later , it went on a bull spree, I was dumbfounded. It s just normal, in life yu gotta win and lose some.

something that is very disappointing for traders I think if this happens, but it mostly happens only to those who do not have patience and do not have market analysis. I usually see that most people who experience things like that are bounty hunters who panic when the price of the coins they get drops so that they have to give up everything they have.

Although we might pretend to be tough at such scenarios but I must tell you, it happens to everyone, whether you bought the coin or whether it is from airdrop, you will surly feel that regret. During the bull run, many people who sold some coins at a price and later saw it pumping very hard, and even if you refuse to check your wallet or trading history for that coin, in one way or the other, you will get some info about it from other sources and that will bring back the regrets.
However, it is one of those things about humans and about crypto, so the best way is trying your best to overlook it and this can be strengthened through avoiding anything that will lead you to it, or checking that coin again, because most times you might be forced to buy back which doesn't end well. Another way is through not selling everything, always try to leave some no matter how small. So accept you have sold and move on, use that energy into looking for other coins which will profit you.

For 4 years, I have experienced this many times already.

At first, there are times where I'm feeling a bit of regret when selling too early but a few minutes I will realize that "Hey, I didn't know that Coin X will move even higher. What's important is I got some profits right now. I will just find another coin, buy it and then sell". That is what I'm feeling that is why I don't feel any regret or madness for a long time.

After all, we don't know what will be the movement of the market or where will it go reverse. What is important whenever you are holding a coin is that when you sell it, you got some profits. There are some investors out there who ended up losing a portion of their capital because of wrong decisions. Just be happy with the profit that you have. There are many opportunities out there. Find it, buy it and sell at a higher price.

It is a common occurrence to increase the price after selling tokens, this has happened dozens of times in my life.I have no regrets at all because the virtual currency market is not always stable. Even if the market for a coin goes down today, it is difficult to say that it will not go up tomorrow.So there is nothing to regret about those who increase after selling tokens.

Obviously, this happens approximately with everyone. When I sell any crypto that goes immediately up and when I buy any crypto it immediately goes down. Now for this problem, I use to sell my crypto in parts and also buy any crypto in parts. So I suggest you do the same.

Yes.

It is part of cryptocurrencies because they're highly volatile and we can't also blame ourselves if we're already satisfied with the price and eventually we're going to sell.

I agree that when you sell, better move on and get on your new trades and hold.

Whatever happened has happened and we will only waste time regretting it. Even though it is heavy and blocks our minds but it has happened and there is nothing that can be done except to make it a lesson. Selling the coins we have is our own decision so whatever the result we must also accept it. That's why I say that we must also be mentally prepared before deciding to invest in crypto. Learning from experiences that we experience ourselves will be better than regretting it for the rest of our lives because experience is the best teacher where we ourselves know what mistakes to avoid and what to do.

It is quite natural human reaction to get mad  but if you are professional Investors/trader  you won't repend on your decision if you had booked  profit when you sold it and be content with what profit you made. It is not realstic thinking that you will always  buy at lowest and sell at hgihest because It is next to impossible to predict correctly the price of any asset over a period of time, no matter how good  Technical analyst you are, prediction with 60% accuracy is considered very good.

I feel regreting it when i see the price goes high after i sell the crypto that i have, but its only normal for a cryptocurrencies to goes high and low in their value. The best thing you must do if you do not want to regrit something that you have done in crypto investments is to wait for the chance that you could have possibly gain more profits from your investments before selling it.

I am a long-term holder, but occasionally I do short-term,
It’s normal for the price to rise after the coin is sold, and sometimes I regret it.
I believe that everyone will have this situation. Everyone knows that the market will not know whether the next time is going up or down every time. There will be errors in analysis.
Don't invest emotionally, control your emotions.

We must remember that the price of crypto assets is very volatile, where prices can change significantly from time to time even suddenly and unexpectedly, so we must use extra consideration in making decisions to buy or sell crypto assets.
and the incident that the OP mentioned almost everyone experienced it and the feeling of regret is definitely there but it won't change the situation unless you buy it again and it's not that easy, the most important thing is that you make a sale in a profitable situation even though it's not much.
and sometimes we are also lucky when we sell it suddenly the price drops drastically, the most important thing is to be grateful for whatever profit we get.
what should be regretted is to make a sale in a state of no profit or loss then the price goes up. ;D

Thats true, the price of coins are high volatile thus we cant predict accurately the next movement after we sell. It can increase further which is really disappointing or suddenly plunged and a good decision for us to sell before it happened. If we can only know how far the price will increase before we sell then probably we are all rich by now, but unfortunately its not the case.

Having regrets are quite normal but what important is we already gain from it and didnt sell at loss. Gaining from our investment is the purpose why we're investing in the first place right?

It used to be like this but now it is too late. Every trade is now up to 70% correct in crypto and even if the price goes up, I am sure the price at which it is sold will not be higher than here. It has to do with the fact that as time goes on trading, you slowly move towards profit.

we can't be mad at something like that. I have also experienced when I sold my ethereum, and the price became very high. it is a very common thing, when we sell the assets we have, the price always goes up after that. well, maybe we're disappointed, but the only thing we can do back is to collect assets again or try to collect other altcoins. .

Cryptocurrency is very unpredictable in its price movements, so everyone who works with it makes mistakes anyway and sells it before its price rise. A person is so arranged that he will always regret his premature actions that led to the loss of possible income, even if he claims that he does not regret it at all. It just needs to be treated as inevitable. You cannot foresee everything in cryptocurrency. Therefore, we need to focus more on our real profits, and not on the loss of lost profits.

When you sell, in most cases, you think that the price may fall at this stage, or you have reached the take-profit position. There is no absolute certainty about the after-sales trend, and the price will not fluctuate according to our thoughts, but if the after-sales price increases, I will definitely feel a pity in my heart. It would be a pity after all, but regret is useless.

I think it's the same feeling we've had, happened like that often and just regret and a little disappointed with the actions we have done. I hope that an incident like this will be an experience in the future.

Making exchanges outside of the exchanging plan won't fulfill brokers need to trained all together not to miss a market patterns. I have been doing it so often yet that coin isn't the best way to create benefit. You are as yet getting another opportunity with another coin as well. We need to sell what we are putting into else we can simply take a gander at our benefits in numbers and possibly expect some great dreaming subsequently.

every trader must have experienced something like what you have experienced. and in my opinion there are 2 factors why we can experience this. First, we were worried that the altcoin we were holding would experience a decline in price and it turned out that the altcoin had increased. second, we already have an initial target that we will sell at the price we have set. So even though we are a little sorry, we have benefited from it and we can start looking for our next target.

I can say, most of us experienced that kind of situation and will still be experiencing that again and again. Even long time traders like us can still experience the same but what can you do if you need to trade the coin you have. You can't forever hold the coin. So at some point, you will decide to sell it especially if you need some cash. What I do to deal with this scenario, is not look back after I trade. Because I know, once I executed the trade, that's it. You can't reverse the process unless you want to buy again at a higher price.

It is normal, all people experience it. Seeing the price continues to skyrocket after selling all of, probably makes us regret it. But it is better than forget to sell your coin at a good price before it is dumped severely. However, as long as we already gain profits, we must be grateful to God. There is no need to think too much of regreeting it since we can have a chance to gain bigger profits on the next attempts. Just forget it and focus on the remaining coins!
