The most that I've made was around $2,000 when I bought a whole lot of Ethereum and sold them when the price hit $370. The most that I've lost is $500 cause I bought into a hype and then panic sold after my balance started plummeting before my eyes.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

The most I've made in a single trade was probably the IPO of Nutanix (NTNX) which I invested in pretty heavily minutes after their shares became available. I bought in at like $27 and sold the following morning around $40, and made somewhere around $5k or so.

Most I've lost is probably holding Twilio (TWLO) from around $38 down to $32 ish, lost around $2,000.

In trading crypto currency I have made significant improvement in my trading strategies and made up to 50% profit from my trading investment. And recently I have lost about 400,000 Satoshi in just one trade on DGB. I think this is the greatest lost I have ever made in the history of my trading life.

If the most you've lost is only 400,000 satoshi, it's not like you're a particularly serious trader, is it?

I lost around 0.05 BTC on Synereo, due to getting caught up in the hype of the beta release.  I set my stop losses nice and high though, so it all worked out.

Largely I've done well on GBYTE and a few others, with much higher stakes involved.

Biggest loss on me trading is only $50 as I am very careful about my trades and I usually play safe. It was on ethereum. Ibthought the dip would stop at 340. Well guess what. Were on the $260 range lol. Thankfully I only managed to buy a small amount that day.

The highest I have made was on BlueCoin or something when the price was around 16 satoshis with all the funds I have then I just went in and buying as much as over 7000+ and in about five days after the amount rose to above 100 satoshis and I sold immediately without even thinking twice whether it will further increase or not because I have learnt my lessons from past experience of never to get too greedy in trading.

That's a really good profit and you will not be the only one who made this much profit because whem the price was 10$ the market cap was in millions so a lot of people like you will have surely benefited a lot from this. For me the most profit i have made is 0.2 btc which isn't bad for me

One thing you must understand is the trading law, where if you don't understand the science will definitely take an action or decision based on lust. Please note that trading using excessive appetite will bring harm. you better start now to understand the science of trading, self control, and analysis. all of that is important to you, enjoy the process that you are living then later you will find the right way to lead you towards success

I've experienced a loss that to me is huge. I lost 400USD of the assets I have, the coin that I have turned out to be destroyed and lost investors so the price dropped by 50%. This is the most regrettable thing because I focus only on the coin. Just a little time we do not see the market then we can lose a lot of money.

i also experienced those type of buying like the OP said about hype buying, but it never came to mind about panic selling. I always consider and imagine my self that i would lose money that is why i hold it and just wait until the price will get higher maybe not in a short period of time.

The most I've earned in a day is 0.5 btc and most I've lost is 0.2 btc and that is during the pumps of blackcoin. Mintpal was still alive and in operation when I completed that trade and boy,after that scenarios I swore that I will never play fire in pumps again. Good thing there are two rounds of he blackcoin pump which made me profit 0.3 btc in the end still.

The most stupid thing I've ever done was last week. I bought a considerable amount of EOS tokens first day it become available but instead of sell it after 24h that was my initial plan (it was at that point +400%) I bought even more and didn't sell when it crashed. I still have them though so no loss yet but WTF! The greed took over my intelligence like a damn virus..

 Lol. Good thing you were able to take advantage of that eth crash for a short time. I wasn't really paying much attention then so i wasn't able to jump in. Right now, i can't really say that i've earned or lost that much since i'm into long term holding but the highest i was able to get was with an ico last year that shot my earnings to more than 1000x. If i'd have known it would be that way i would've invested more than the small amount i did for it

Since i am a newbie to trading, i invested a very little amount into it. To try it out if it  works well for me and quiet suprisingly it did. The most i have made is from the coin TELL which i bought on yobit at the price of 8 satoshi. I bought 10000 coins and sold them at 36 satoshi which is four times the price i bought for. So i got a return of four times the investment i made into it. I once lost around 75% of my investment in a coin which i dont remember. Since that day i had decided to not to sell at a loss and i never broke that rule nor i ever will.

Well, I've bought approximately 4 BTC at an average price of 700 dollars a piece
when I was just a few months in buying at Paxful.

So yeah, they've pretty much doubled.
