1  Economy / Trading Discussion / General noob BTC/Altcoin buying question on: May 17, 2021, 12:41:50 AM
I want to make sure I am am understanding this correctly so here goes.

Is there ever an instance where a crypto is being sold at a certain price even though the market price for the crypto never falls to the set price? Say you want to sell for 0.50 USDT but the market price never falls below 0.52 USDT but your Order is filled because someone bought at the 0.50 USDT Order Book price. Does this mean that you've lost money? Since the Market Price never went down to 0.50? I am a little confused on this.

Thanks for all the help as usual, I really like all of your insight.

Ok so I am fairly new to trading but all I'm trying to do is buy certain Crypto at certain prices. The trouble that I am having is basically the volatility of Bitcoin! One moment I'll put the Bitcoin equivalent of $2.00 USD as a Limit order on an exchange and go to bed then wake up the next morning to find it was bough at that Bitcoin price but not equivalent to $2.00 but more like $2.50 or $3.00 or sometimes $1.00. Am I doing something wrong or does everyone just deal with the inaccuracy of Bitcoin?
It must be with how you're setting your buy order. If not, you're getting unlucky on the market orders moving too quickly or just people playing around with the market leaving you in this position.

Usually, a stop-order to buy in always executes perfectly, just need to ensure the values are not too different from each other, which might be why your slippage is so high entering you at the wrong price.

Yes you are correct, I was meaning buying with Tether instead of BTC.
3  Economy / Exchanges / Best way to cash out? on: April 29, 2021, 12:14:52 AM
Hey guys,

I have only been using Kucoin for a few months now and I wanted to know what the best method to cash out my crypto to USD would be? Should I trade it all to Tether then transfer to a USD exchange like Bittrex or something else?


Any help is appreciated.

Thank you all! I decided to just start trading with Tether. It made things A LOT easier since it's not nearly as volatile as BTC.

Thank you all for the replies and help. I trade on KuCoin, I have included an image below. So in this case I'm trying to buy DOGE at the highlighted BTC price. If we assume that that BTC price is $1 (i want to buy the coin once it hits $1) BUT the VALUE of Bitcoin maybe goes down so my $100 that I had strictly in Bitcoin maybe goes down to $90 would I still get the value of $1 for the DOGE or would I be buying it at a higher price than original since the value of Bitcoin went down?

I'm not sure if I'm not understanding you or if you're not understanding me. I predict the price will drop and it does drop, but because Bitcoin is constantly on the move sometimes I don't buy the crypto for the price that I really wanted.

8  Economy / Exchanges / Alternative to Coinbase? on: April 20, 2021, 02:03:34 AM
Hey everybody,

Does anyone happen to know a good alternative to cash out BTC into USD? Coinbase just has way too many security things and wait times where you have to wait 3-5 days for a deposit and such.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you
