[BingoDog]

Trading bitcoins os also kind of investment and like any other investment it's risky. Basicly in trading you buy low and sell high or in arbitrage trading you count on the price difference but in practice there is always possibility of wrong judgement or unpredicted behaviour of bitcoin market so instead of profit you can lose your coins.

Trading is all about 99% luck and 1% skill trading is not a job. you can earn a lot from trading if you have a trading team to control the market price of the certain coin. the law of supply and demand is use in trading so better look for trading team to start trading. because if you are the only one it is too risky!

bitcoin trading is entrust the majority of investment you have to buy be some bitcoin, then you sell it back. such that is rotation of bitcoin. while the risk is you will get a reduced amount of bitcoin as a prediction in the buying and selling bitcoin.

In essence, that's it, but to give a more complete answer to the OP, we have to say why it is so risky. The risk lies in the fact that the BTC market does not have very high liquidity when compared to the most common currencies. This brings some instability to the market, and it is one of the main causes of high volatility. This problem requires time to be resolved, since it is not yet common to see people buying and selling things using Bitcoin.

volatility depends on a lot of factors and not just the liquidity of the market for example the trust that people may have on a particular currency is very important, that is why when you see an economic crisis in a country you will also see a evaluation of their currency.

But, overall due to volatility people are calling bitcoin trading is so risky. But I never find like that. Because whenever I am finding my decisions are going against myself, I will just leave off that position opened and I will be waiting for the reversal of price movements, most of the time I do get profits after some waiting.

And you are never get lost from trading bitcoin? your method may work for those people aren't need a short profit(long term investment)
It can be opposite if those people need an instant profit at the time. And all of the people must feel it be an ordinary thing.

profit and loss indeed things that have become commonplace not only in trade but also in all businesses. no name is always profitable, surely no harm though little

And if can we stay away from it and why not? The trading is a choice, like choice your way, if you have chosen the right way and I think you will get a right result too. and otherwise. You're true about the loss but we have a chance for stay away from it. totally depend on the person.

is common, normal, so get used in any trade

Its definitely a trading because you bought bitcoin into a cheaper price and you will sell it for a higher price so that you could able to make profits.You are right theres a risk involve on doing trading because of moving prices and you wont know on which way it will go. If you decide to be a long term trader then you will hold for how many months and years before you sell off but there are some short traders which do make profits.Those are the types of traders.

Trading is all about 99% luck and 1% skill trading is not a job. you can earn a lot from trading if you have a trading team to control the market price of the certain coin. the law of supply and demand is use in trading so better look for trading team to start trading. because if you are the only one it is too risky!

How can you make sure that trading is 99% luck and only 1% of skill that you will need because in my opinion those numbers of percentage are for gambling because in trading if you have great percentage of skill then you will win the game. You can start studying about trading from basics to complicated lessons and all of that can help you to understand the market more than you know and you can always make a conclusion which can benefit for you to earn higher amount of income .

[bravehearth0319]

In my assessment, if you are well versed or knowledgeable in trading surely it will never be risky to you. Because you are wise by doing trading. Though in the first place that bitcoin trading is the place where all the altcoins,usd$,bitcoin can be tradeable in any exchange sites.

Absolutely its not totally luck factor to trade. Yeah there is some point where luck also occurs and works.Blind assumptions requires 99% luck. But most time knowledge, skills are required to flourish in trading. Also daily information about global economy and things taking place around the world is also necessary to keep in mind while you trade.

trading requires precision. we should be able to do a proper analysis. for people who can do the analysis of the trading is an easy job. we should really focus on trading system if we want to benefit.

It is very difficult to be precise in this market, especially because it is very volatile and still has limited liquidity compared to other markets, such as the stock market or the forex market. I think the important thing is to work with good odds, but striving to reduce the margins of error, of course.

to me if you are expert in trading still there is risk in trading, because even in trading your luck play an important part in trading. although your experience and our skill can also help you in trading but still we mostly depend on our luck in trading.

although luck is one of the most important factor in trading that effect the trading result. but still i will say that if you have good experience in trading then you can even change your luck, with your good experience and hard work.

Hello folks!

I'm thinking about starting to trade with Bitcoin, but I see people saying that It's risky & almost like gambling.

I think that I mis-understand the meaning of trading.

For me trading Is for EXAMPLE, buying Bitcoin when It's at 550$ and selling It when It's at 670$. This Isn't risky because If Its value doesn't Increase, you'll just have to keep It until It gets higher enough, Is this trading?

I would really appreciate If people clarified more! Thankx

Bitcoin trading gets risky because of the value of it you dont know when it goes up or down but you're right you just have to keep it until it gets higher enough it gets some risk because of the value for me you better take some tips for an expert in trading or good in trading before you do it

Trading is gambling: you work with odds, not certainties.

Markets are almost random. Now, a truly "efficient" market would be completely random, because prices would reflect objective value; winning and losing would be purely by chance, and nobody could make money. However, the markets are somewhat inefficient: news don't get incorporated into the price right away, and market participants are neither rational nor perfect computing machines; everybody has their own idea about the "perfect price" right now, and it is always different from the "true" price, which can never be actually known.

Trading is not about luck. It is coming from the above: if the markets are not completely random, then we may find a way to do better than luck.

Trading is about finding a mathematical edge: to win a little more (not necessarily more often!*) than lose, on average. The one who can guess what most of the other players think has exactly such an edge; if he exploits it well, he can win on the long run.    (*) in fact, winning too often is usually a sign of a left-tailed return distribution: a few huge losses hiding in your future

Crypto v.s. the rest. The difference between crypto trading and the "real" markets (such as equities, futures, forex, etc) lies in that crypto is an immature market, so there are a lot more inefficiencies left to still exploit.

Here's my post in another thread with sources of good info where you can learn about trading in general. Trading crypto is not fundamentally different from trading anything else, though it's like the Wild Wild West: tread carefully.

I dissagree with you. Although more than 90% of trader is  trading like gambling but there still less than 10% of trader is really have good skill and earn money more than  manager in company. Keep learn so you can get a lot of money in trading.

[ethereumhunter]

bitcoin trading is same as the other trading, as long as its called trading then we can learned it and its not the same as gambling. to do bitcoin trading, we need to analyze the trend of the coins, from the analysis, we can predict the market, i believe that if we are have a good knowledge and experience in trading, then we can take the profit. but the risk is always there and we can not deny, because sometimes our prediction is wrong and nothing we can do except waiting for the increasing price.

I think that more than 10% trader are treating trading as gambling because as you can see they will easily getting trolled by fuders and buying altcoins without even analyzing the latest news or data but based on their feeling, it's the same as gambling indeed but there's something that make it different,if the altcoin just decreasing its price they can just holding it

How can you attribute 99% of success in traidng to luck, trading is not gambling for Christ sake. 99% of success in BTC trading is knowledge, the level of education you have will help your decision making then 1% to luck.

Bitcoin trading in my opinion is an exchange platform where we can freely trade the coins we wanna buy or sell whether bitcoins/altcoins. It is a place of the traders were they like to grow their coins in fastest way. That's all I know about it, that's its too risky.
