Trading with btc - eth, I buy too high ( 0,082 ) and today I sell all on 0,077. Before that trade btc - ripple ( xrp ), make mistake buy 0,0002150 so today I sell with price 0,0001200. I decide to sell all because my patience is finish. I have loss almost 40% from my money, my question is simple ................. stop or continue?
For your case it is better to pause and look for activities that can make you more relaxed, it also happened to me, take a decision in haste and fury was not good, trading is not entirely profitable sometimes we have to accept loss.

I will advise you give it a try again, for you currently leaning   a lesson of what to do and what not to do in trading crypto currency. I lost about 45% of my money yesterday as a result of inpatient and wrong technical analysis of the candle stick before buying the currency. And that doesn't mean I should stop trading crypto currency. Am currently in the market and is moving in my favor. Trading is the best in making it big in crypto currency only if you follow your strategy and not your emotion.

This is why you shouldn't trade what you don't know or don't understand. Ripple has been pumping a lot from 3k satoshi until 20++ and it's never been a good idea to buy when there's pump happening. You should research an alt which you like, not jumping to the one which been pumped. You should stop and study about alt first before trying to trade again.

i think you need to control your self in trading because i see you are too rush to sell your coins before you see the price is back to the price before. its normal for us to make mistake but we need to learn from our mistake so in future, our skill will be increase and the important thing from this is we can control our self to not to be panic when the price is suddenly down too deep. i think you can continue for doing trading but you need to have a strong mind to control your self and waiting for the price. i think its still a worth lesson for you from this mistake and i hope you don't have to make the same mistake in future.

The hype got you. Well, in investments there is always the risk of loss. So it really would depend on you if you think you can't handle the pressure, then stop. But if you are a dreamer, believer you got to be a survivor too. Good luck.

You should read a lot and learn more like many have said. But you never know what will happen, it can go in your favour or you can fall hard. I sold 4000 waves 45 days ago, just before the btc pump and waves pump after holding for almost a year. So shit happens. So i could have had 3100% profit but i have to do with 1100%. I put in an amount of money to trade with and not a cent more.

Buy on the dip.  People who bought on the last high doubled their money last week.  No end in sight.

Don't be the population be an individual! If the herd zigs you zag. When they panic you buy, when they hype you sell.

It actually becomes easier and a walkover when you are equipped with the right knowledge and skills, because knowledge dymystifies mysteries, but until then a lot of things are not all said and done. Essentially the first thing first, get some good grounding in whatever you set out to do and every other thing would starts to fall into place. Finally, be reminded that quitter never win.

If you will stop then how will you recover the loss? The change from BTC0.082 to BTC0.077 only took less period so how come you didn't control your patience. If in such cases that you buy on a certain price then it drops afterwards, don't sell but rather hold as there is a big chance that ETH will comeback again to surpass your buying rate. Then while it dipping, acquired again another round.

Take that mistakes as part of your trading experience and used that thing to fully enhanced your trading skills. There are altcoin that is fit for long term trades and ETH is one of it so control your temper and patience. Out of your frustration, you did a wrong move. Patience is they key as trading is not a piece of candy.

No you must continue trading altcoins, if you stop trading altcoins you are really losing 40% of your money
but if you stay trading altcoins there are chance to getting back your money and the profit from trading
you just needs to fix the ways of trading altcoins up to getting constant profit from trading
 you must be more patient when trading altcoins.

All risks are definitely there, so when we don't want to get ahead or get many advantages it is better we keep silent and don't ever think something's a bad thing. Because there will never be, a thing that can give us the advantage is always obtained. Because of the nature of life in the world is definitely there will be a time when we are down and the period in which we have above. Long time it all depends on what we are now doing or working on. If indeed we have a good working level and have good prospects in the future then the result will surely be fun

stop what? you weren't actually trading before, you were gambling.
you should now start trading instead.
there are certain simple strategies to follow or keep in mind:

1- never buy into the pump:
when price of an altcoin has gone up too much too fast, that should be a red flag for you not to buy it anymore. but if you decided to buy, keep an open eye, keep rule #2 in mind, and sell fast with the rise to make profit and get out quick

2- stop loss is your friend:
you can do this with some automation like using the feature the exchanges offer you or use a bot. or even do it manually. it means have a negative percentage in mind that you sell no matter what. in altcoins it can be -5 to -10% drop and you dump and get out. i usually do it at -1% and my profit targets are usually 5% to 15% that means safe profit and always successful trading.

3- never fall for a hype in altcoins:
know that altcoins are mostly pump and dump and for that people will hype them up with lies. and the bigger the altcoin the bigger and more spread the lies. so just get your profit and get out fast. and only invest in bitcoin for long term.

This is true although im new in trading but im patiently observing paths and statistics. Don't treat trade as gambling always use strategy and always disregard emotions.

There are people that actually giving up after experience loses in trading that they didn't realize that its part of trading experience..
And no professional are become pro if they not experience the same experience as yours..
So that experience can help your for your future trading.. that you can think that ow this time i never fell again with this way so you know what will you do next time..

Patience is the key element of success. As you have broken the first rule of trading is that not having any patience. If you want to be a good trader, you must have to be patient. And remember another thing is that failure is the pillar of success. So as you have failed first time, you should not be dissappointed.

So, keep trading. Don't quit. Just follow the rules and you can also get the money back later.

You need to stop and start to learn more about trading before joining this cryptoworld. As I say, you need to know some basic things about trading so that you can reduce the possibility to lose your money. Moreover, you need to be more patient so that you can earn more profit from trading

I recommend that for the time being you stop trading, adjust your strategy, read some books about the subject, try to determine at what point you will like to enter in the market, but don’t do it, see if you are making profits in these imaginary trades, and most importantly do some soul searching and see if trading is really an activity for you, since you need to be cold when it comes to make deals that are favorable to you.

You should continue mate, why you would sell at the price that you know you'll be losing that percentage? You should train yourself on how to become more patient. Because in trading, patience is the most important thing especially when you are holding bitcoin. You need to make your heart stronger so that you won't panic sell.

If you give a quit on experiencing a loss, then anymore you cannot make a better earning and learning through trading. If you find the value of the concern coin that you have bought is declining in value go for a sell at the earliest and if not when the value generates a huge loss on calculation, don't go for a selling. But just try to hold and wait for the next pumping.

If you will not change then better stop before losing more.

If you will change then better continue.

I could tell that you are a beginner in trading so what you ought to do is test a small amount first but I do not know if that's a small or big amount for you. Judging from your rank then that is a great amount. You should have tried it first by doing some small amount and gain experience from it before throwing a big capital on it.

Nevertheless, you can do it since great traders have gone as beginners and fall many time. You can earn a lot of experience by mistakes you have made then strive to know what you lack then fill it up. Also you should know first what is the average price of that particular coin and look up with its developments or updates circulating with some coins where you might want to invest.

In trading, the profit amount depends on our capital amount. And one more important thing you want to become a pro trader and want to make money in trading you should have patience. Yes, trading will test our patience. Some people will get good profit in short time, but sometimes our bad luck we have to wait for a long time to make a profit. So if you don't have the patience to wait for a long time then stop BTC trading. And trade some altcoins it will give good profit in short time.
