Are you all in when trading?

[sallee2]

This would produce the most gains , but if you predict wrong you could be stuck waiting for the price to either come back up or down to get back in. I did this the other day. I sold and bought back in at what I had predicted was going to be the next upswing. However some last second sellers swooped in and dropped the price below my limit. Then it just continued to fall from there. Now I sit and wait for the price to come back up to my purchase price so I can get back at it. I hate waiting. I get antsy. I should have left some money in reserve so I could have at least bought in at the bottom. I got greedy. Now I wait. 

I think you should not put all your capital into trading, but distribute it to different channels. Let's trade a little, hold a little, and invest in more channels. You should not spend all your money in one place, you should clearly divide the percentage to avoid the worst case that can happen when the loss.
good luck

it is a very idiot way to use all the money you have to invest in cryptos, crypto market is very fluctuative all the time, so even a good trader must be affraid of choosing to trade all their money or not, because in cases the price of a crypto can makes trader become million in a night or loosing all if the price to the bottom, so that is why many traders give us advice to split into the money many parts to invest in many cryptos.

Trading is good because we can get a profit in just a day but we don't need to put all our money on it because at the first place we are not sure in the coin we have, we don't know if the coin will increase tomorrow or the price are going down, trading is risky that's why we need to be careful in putting our money.

Sometimes you can take x2, sometimes you can lose all of this, so try start at low positions.

Gambling and trading are the same, the most different thing from it is if you lose in trading, you will lose a bit not all. But with gambling, your money is all gone....

Yes, I was all in my investment in trading, but not in one coin only. I was divided it into different coins, I do this because if in case it fall down you have fall back in the future. Because I'm sure that not all coins are dropping down synchronize.

this is one of the best strategy that you may have for cause we cant even know what may really happen so not just putting all in just one make yourself to be more have knowledge that you are able to divide it.

[cheezcarls]

I don't think it's a good idea for us to all in. You know why? There is a chance that it will go down very hard once Bitcoin and other altcoins are dumping down the wire.

It is essential that you should diversify all of your investments by not relying on one digital asset only. When it comes to investments, one rule is that you should not put all of the eggs in a single basket.

If you want to sustain yourself, it's better to save a percentage of it to be used for cryptocurrency investments. 

[semarmesem195]

I never sell all that i have, i only sell 80% of what i have. The remaining 20% ​​is for savings and i can add value when have the funds and reinvested. That's the plan i do in crypto and in real life. Moreover we never know when the price will rise or fall so it would be nice to anticipate it first or we can be disappointed in the future.

[qiwoman2]

I don't have any other income except from crypto but as for day trading I only trade the coins I usually want to accumulate more of which at the moment is COSS and I also like the spread of SUBSTRATUM on COSS so I get the odd buy and sell there filled in around once or twice a week with a 255 margin between the buys and sells so have accumulated over 1.4k of Substratum. I don't have as much time to day trade but I am all in crypto as I don't earn any fiat. I only take out fiat for living expenses at the moment.

[Hypnosis00]

I don't go all in when i am trading because i know that it is a very risky move to do because when you go all in then the price of the coin does not goes on what you are thinking then it will be a huge loss for you and the best thing to do is to just put in trading the money that you can afford to lose so you will not have some problems when the market goes wrong.

[Altcoindealer]

Goin all in trading is maybe not the best idea. When your working all day an you trade with orders, and you cant watch the charts all day, this could go very bad. Thats why i wouldnt recommend anyone to trade all in. If your a daytrader, and watch the whole day the chart, you can do these, with less risk. And this will give you the most gains. But many trader recommend that you should split your portfolio in many altcoins.

I also experience like you, I buy at high prices and now the price is down in the added news that always tell bad bitcoin badness, so the price does not rise anymore, I hope this situation soon recovered.

I never go all in when trading. Some of my biggest trades are 5% of my portfolio position size. Going all in is emotionally straining.

[buwaytress]

I can totally relate to you mate when I first started trading. I am going all in because the more I put funds into it, the more profit I will have if it goes my way. I am having enormous profit but then as expected, my lesson came. Price is continuously going down and I could not do anything because I don't have any funds left and as what you said, I said to myself that I should have left some to buy at the dip but because I went all in, I have nothing left. Even if the price went up thereafter, it is below my buy price so I am still at a loss and if I would have funds left then I would have buy more at the dip and be in profit already. Nowadays, I only buy in portions and do not think of the profit much because profit is still profit no matter how big or small it is.

Surprised that actually some people would recommend going all in, that's just a recipe for eventual disaster.

The only all-in strategy that applies is when you are a holder, but that doesn't mean pouring all your life savings into Bitcoin. Like for me, after selling what I earn for expenses, I accumulate as much as I can, with no intention to sell any for years at minimum. So my monthly cycle for the past year hasn't changed. Not at 10k, not at 20k... In that sense yes, all in but for holding.

Op shouldn't feel bad. You sold high and got yourself more coins. Now play the holding game and relax. More time for yourself, less worry, and you already have more coins that you had.

[cat0ne0]

Never all in. I personnaly only invest 1 to 5% of my total capital on a trade. Risk management is essential with volatile assets.

Wow 5% , i doubt about how much you spend on trade? Because 5% of 100k$ is just 5k$ and the profit of 5k$ would be not much . So i guess you work on trading as a part-time work for extra income right ?

Well I guess not necessarily. The amounts you have supplied yourself might be misleading to what he actually meant. But I agree with his strategy to never go all in because you can never be too certain about what is going to happen.

I have a friend who tried trading and he won around 10 Bitcoins just because of a single try. Eventually, though, he got greedy. He did not cash out even when Bitcoin's price is already amounting to $19,750. Look where his greed took him -- of course, he is down to 3 Bitcoins because he lost in trading. What is more is that the price of Bitcoin has declined around the last week of 2017 up until present.  Currently he is holding, just like someone in this thread. The lesson to learn here is to never put all your eggs in one basket.

[mast3rm1nd]

sometimes, only I call that gambling lol. I usually invest no more than 20% of my holdings, I think I can afford to lose 20%

Can i ask how much your friend spend on trading ? 10 Bitcoins profits isn't a small number and in trading , the first rule is spending many to earn a little ( of course there are exceptions but it's very rarely). Greedy is the worst thing you can get in trading and gambling , remove it to protect your income would be lovely if that coin goes down.
