How to overcome the fear of holding?

[grumpy619]

I was the one who sold to early   But i learned the lessons. Holding is a good opportunity to earn much more that by trading and if you have not time and experience for trading like me. But to avoid money losses you should always fix the profit by x5-10 (it will back your investment and give profit) and then keep other part for years, Then it can give you x50-x60 but already without the risks. Don't be greedy!

It depend on your needs Sir. Some of my profits are from low volume coins which has more good opportunity for x5 to x10. But we should also do our research to avoid our doubt of fear fo the coin that we are trading. Its still the best to have a understanding of what projects we are investing and its potential growth in the market which like i probably learn from XLM or Stellar

Some will say with good strategy other will say not to fear some will say sell now buy latter.

In any way if you hold some coins and you think its the right time then use it or just make sell of some amount and keep the rest its better like this. Maybe amount that you keep can be moved to another coin and hope for income. Patience is key in this if you can control yourself then it can be good for you at the end.

I agree with you . Patience is a decisive factor for you to be able to sell at a high price but it is difficult to achieve this because you will experience a lot of pain and anxiety because the price fluctuates constantly and this is really difficult.

Yes, the price fluctuates quite often and very few have the mind to accept the fact and lot simply switch to some other altcoins expecting bigger profit. Here few will be succeeding investing on the right thing, while the others end up losing the investment capital and tries to get back to bitcoin when the price has increased leaving the profit.

I've always been one who sells to earlier, either to minimize my losses or to realize my earnings ASAP and leave. I've seen in most of my investments, if not all that if I would've just left the coins there they would've been worth 10-50x what I put in before. This is upsetting as a person and trader, as I see how much money I'm missing out on.

How do you traders do it, hold and hold and hold. Waiting around for more and more money?

try to be more patient. Obviously, you lost a lot of money due to the fact that you was very worried about any jump in the market. you should learn better the trading, and become wisely dispose of the investments

Your heart not gonna let you there patience with the fucking dump from sharks or whales. It's better is don't look at the news, don't search the price just let it there.

Like they always say; if you cannot deal with it, then stay the heck away from it. It is tough ride, no doubt and there will always be some days where the market can go crazy on the negative side, so the best thing to always do is to try as much as possible to control one's emotion knowing that in the long term you will be making a lot of money or just abandon what you have somewhere and come back maybe in 5 years’ time.

You should have learn all of your mistakes because if you keep to continue like this you will lose a lot of money and it is too late for you to realize that soon. Why would you fear when you are just holding? If you are around on this forum you will likely to read every FUD and shills here but it doesn't matter just go on your instinct, believe it. It is only you can control your emotions and nothing else.

Your job has risks, and driving has risks. You reduce those risks by learning. If a particular stretch of roads attracts cops, you learn to watch your speed on that stretch. Likewise, you can reduce your investing risk significantly by understanding investing fundamentals. It's not cleaning tables, but it's not rocket science either. If millions can do it, you can too.

As long as you can much better to hold you're coin for more profit come, but all this thing will depends upon on you whether you sell it or not if you are thinking that you have earned enough or just you want more money why you should leave you coins being trade.
Yea! just hold and hold and hold until we have a big profit overcome specially on bitcoin that have potential, for me i did not spend my bitcoin unless if i have an urgent need. For me bitcoin hold for a long run to have a brighter future purposes.

One way is to simply cut the amount of times you check your investments, if you check them several times a day, change that to once a week, keep detailed notes, people most of the time sell on an impulse, so by tracking the price you will know where you stand and where you want to be.

[logicgate]

There always choices, as you consistent to your own choice. If you want to play you need to have opit target as how much % from capital financial. But if you hold it, draw it when you really need it.

This is the case, exactly when you are holding you need to see the price rates going high or low. Things can be in your account or may be against you but you don’t need to keep your eyes shut. No, if something is going bad again and again and you consider that holding can make your loss higher, don’t waste any time and go sell them. Now luck will determine the profit or loss for you in this.

Good technique, holding for long term requires you to be strong so you won't easily get panic, don't be too active in looking the value movement from time to time because that only shows you do not really trust it's future or you don't understand the price volatility.
Focus on the development and just leave the price as there are people who can manipulate but with real development price will definitely increase.

i have never hear of such fear, fear of holding? really? id fear losing on day trades but if you are holding you should not fear of this at all

[khalifa25]

For me Just forget about the market till new year ever and after you will have your gift in your wallet by the first of January in 2018.

[jacksonmark30]

Forgetting the market is a good way to get rid of fear, but if you have all your funds sitting in Bitcoin, I'd bet you;ll be very uneasy and will actually even check often. The best way is to spread out your funds into different assets to minimize risk and to help you get a good night's sleep.

I take your point above how to overcome the fear of holding such as consistent with decision, need have target in percentage so we can do it as a plan and not as greedy. I will add one more thing, confident with your choice is the way to overcome the fer too. How we can confident? Before making a decision, we need to do a research and make decision after every thing you want to buy is really best choice.

It is not such a weird thing lets suppose you invested 200k when bitcoin was 20k so you have 10BTC at some point bitcoin went as low as 10k which means you lost half of your investment in a few days, will you not be afraid of keep holding? I suppose the answer is yes.

cause they may not able to watch for what may real happen if they may still holding their coins to gain a lot of profit for then they may not able also to take the risk of holding it for a long time for we all know how may good it is to have for that you may have the belief on that coin for you to have for it.

My first month in trading was same as how you describe it, My investments comes from the savings of me and my wife. At first Im really scared when the price of the coins goes down to the point where I sell it to minimize my lose, just like you did. I was afraid our hard earn saving will be gone like a bubble, but as the day past by, i did learn from my mistake and come to point where my total balance reach about  150% of our initial investment. So i withdraw our initial investment and the only remaining balance was left was the 50%. It was only half amount from the initial investment, but the good thing is, i DONT FEEL FEAR ANYMORE either the price of the coins go down and just wait for it to high up again (just make sure youre doing research in youre chosen coin), because the investment that im using now does now hold its sentimental value anymore. FEAR in trading is really a great barrier and greatly affect youre performance. Now my total balance is about 400% in our initial investment.

Probably because you are constantly seeing the price of the coin you are holding, one of which you should try not to think about the coin you hold and if you have more trust in the coin you will not be easy to sell it, it also happens to me by taking profit as soon as possible and then leave.
