Hold or Sell

[x001tk]

In trading how do you know if it is time to still hold or is it the right time to sell? Do you go buy your profit margin  or actually wait for the highest possible peak?
For example if you're earning like 10% of your investment, would you just sell or would you be interested in waiting and seeing if it goes more up so you could earn more, in doing that its possible that it may go down and you then earn like 5-8%
But what is your process in this? How do you go about hold and sell timings?

I use a simple trading strategy. It has 3 technical indicators: MACD (12,26,9), RSI (7), Stoch (14,3,3). I use Daily bars

Im looking to buy  if MACD > signal and RSI > 50 and Stoch > 50. So, If it happened, I call that day (BAR) a signal bar. Next day I set the stop buy order on previous day (signal bar) HIGH.
I'm looking for a sell (close) when  TWO of THREE indicators become the opposite, if MACD< signal and RSI < 50 or rsi<50 and Stoch < 50 or MACD<signal and Stoch < 50

Now Im triyng it on 1H charts

That's my approach

And whats your story?

Its all depends! Sell when you already satisfied in the price then buy when the price is down. Thats trading in order to earn you need to have great strategies when it comes in your coins.

Some people have long term hodLings and have some cash for trading.

When tot sell is up to the traders timeframe. Day traders are looking at 5 minute charts and sell fairly quickly.

Swing traders will hold for several days and may look at the 1hr or 4 hr charts.

Position traders will hodL for weeks and typically look at the daily charts.

When to sell near the top is not easy and you need to make your best decision by looking at the chart. When the asset is way overbought on the Stochastics and RSI, there is a very good chance that it will be dropping. But it may rebound to new highs, you just never know which is wy trading is difficult.

For now, many possibilities can happen, you don’t need to sell if you don’t need money,  or sell it if you need some. Hold as the value is getting high, do some research on the trend and analyze if you're going to sell it.

[vanish9]

Wow, seriously? No one cares about what you do piece of spammer.

We all know that when the price goes up, we all have to sell, and when the opposite happens we all need to do the opposite, are you stupid?

It depends on Coinmarket cap and depends on your trading coin. buy low price and sell it the high price.

[Birin016]

It reallly depends on the coin the you are trading on,if you are trading in a promising coin and a huge coin then it  must be hold and not to be sell because its a long term project,if you will sell just buy some small altcoins with fast movement and sell at profit

[ramzhies]

depends on the coin you currently have. if you the coin u have would go farther based on its background, i would hold it.. make sure to have a specific time to hold, coz we dont knowwhat might happen.

sell for coins with no projects, and easily get played with

I just want to tell you that I’m just sharing my opinion and idea so if you don’t have any care about my post okay. But if you don’t understand what I'm just told, you most better read this again that many possibilities can happen, and why will you sell are your bitcoin if the price goes up if you don’t need money? We all know that bitcoin’s amount is fluctuating too much and it is hard to predict if bitcoin price will rise or fall after you sell it. What if after selling all your bitcoin, the bitcoin price still rapidly increasing? What will you do now? Just take note that you don’t need some cash. Like just I said many possibilities could happen, so do some research and analyze if you are going to sell it or not. Also, you can do both sides sell the 50% or above if you need it and hold the other percent.
Don’t tell me that I’m a stupid and spammer. Yes, I’m just a Jr. Member but I will not do your tactics that (when the price goes up, we all have to sell, and when the opposite happens, we all need to do the opposite). Sell all your bitcoin? And do the opposite if bitcoin price decrease? What if your profitable rate doesn’t reach it? So your gross income will be negative? Imagine that. Thank you for your comment but next time try to analyze if you truly can.

It depends on the market. Depending on the state of the market, I decide to sell or hold. Therefore, it is difficult to answer this question unambiguously.

True! The market value of any coin especially the one which you are having in your wallet really carries a very significant importance as this is something which will help you in making the decision of holding or selling of your crypto coins. In my opinion, holding is more beneficial than that of selling your coins. However, if you really want to sell your coins, then you need to make sure that you are getting the right amount of money in return.

By seeing the today price, I had decided to just hold the bitcoin. Because if I had hold my bitcoin and sell later a month means, l will get some more dollars in my hand.Which I will not get, if I had sell it know. Today price seems to be hold, but honestly it is your wish to hold or sell the bitcoin.

The best way to know this is to know your needs. Know yourself. If you don't the best possible path you should take is to earn as much coin as you can and hold it till its value increase. You should set a margin on how much profit you should gain in order for you to start selling it

Honestly, now they will be regretting about what they have done. Wait I shouldn't sell it right now. Right. Hold it a little more. Having patience and giving yourself a straight clear margin is the key in trading

Yet, it is also great if you hold your bitcoins especially if you have enough amount because there's a chance for you to get double you money.

Well i think it is depend on the present price holding for a long term is no use at all if we can really gain at present price because i believe that we are all here  for  good and for gaining a huge amount so then if we can gain today then sell it but if we need to hold then hold it bitcoin is really amazing we can really gain on it even in a verry short period of time.

It all depends on the way you analyze the market. As for me, most time I set a profit margin and if the price reach the targeted percentage I will see. But if from my analysis of candle stick show that the price has brake the support I will wait and see the next movement of about three candle stick before I will sell.

Yeah holding and selling is really important in the world of crypto currency. if you will hold there will be huge bug chance that price will be more than double of your investing amount.   It is right time to buy bitcoin because price of bitcoin is not very high but there are a lot of chances that price of bitcoin will go very high in coming couples of months. At very first I would love to suggest you that you should hold your bitcoin when you buy some of them.

Better hold good projects like apex wanchain telcoin and etc strong alts which will grown in 30-100x for 1-2 year then holding btc which will grown like 50-60% may be
its very hard to make bitcoin price 5-10x from now .

[Apes]

many possibilities that could happen. in the trading world, anything can change very quickly. you should think about is a proper analysis.
for now I think it did hold more profitable. for some time to come will be a trend of increase in the price of bitcoin.

According to me in the world of trading you should be able to predict it and besides it should be able to master in the world of trading .. if the price is not suitable or still below the low price better to hold it .. and if the price is up there is no harm you sell, because trading can just a flash makes us lose so do wisely so that your decision is not harmful .. learn first it is very important that we can analyze the progress of the future in order to produce appropriate results in want ..

[rhayot]

I’d rather hold it for a while than selling it in an instant. Because you can’t foresee the price of an altcoin, as day passed by , the value of some altcoins are getting high just like bitcoin and if you think it reaches its high value then that’s the time that you can sell it with high profit. So while the coins are still in a low price, try to invest on it.

[marqonah]

One way to earn bitcoin is by trading. Then the question is when you will going to hold or sell.. If you think the  profit you earned is not enough and you wanted to earn more so you have to hold it until the profit increased..then when you think 10-15% profit is well enough then sell it..

I think it's better to hold first, because we do not know the price of bitcoin in the future. if we want to get a lot of profit, I suggest do not be too hasty in making a decision to sell.
if you know the price soared, then there's your chance to sell.

[Franck23]

This two words really matters to us as trader you can choose hold or sell, you can hold the token for long time if you think there has a posibility to go to the moon or if the the total supply is small, and you can sell your holding if you think you have a profit atleast 40% or up.

Every man has different strategy in trading. Long term holding always positive every holders. Surely there make a chance get good profit at the end. About altcoin trding you should have experienced and skilled both of quality to hold it or sell it. Choose yourself, actually what you have want to done.

Both have good point of view. But I agree that the decision will always be based on how you perceive to earn. For instance, if you choose to hold coins and wait until its value becomes higher, then it is good as long as you have other coins invested that give you enough earnings for your daily needs. On the otherhand, if you choose to sell, then that will also be good because you will also earn but not that much.

Yeah try to choose what you are good at but mate I think everyone is now familiar to bitcoin and they are aware of bitcoin nature. Bitcoin use to increase in price at time when it goes so down, already market is saying bitcoin has low price so it will grow but will take time. It is good to keep patience and not to sell your bitcoin at any cost.  I will go for holding and wait for long time so that in bitcoin I will get a lot of profit.

[BCTBF]

It depends on how you get started, you can hodl and sell whenever, but it would be better to sell when the price is high and you will get a good profit, and keep hodl if it is dipped.

[gadimbrut]

I do not wait for the price of pump to sell bitcoin I have I sell bitcoin if it is getting profit, because too risky price will come down again if have to wait pump. now bitcoin prices tend to fall
