Still Trading When Red?

[Noelbetty12]

To sell bitcoins when it is dumping price ir when it is too low is not good because you are losing. But you can hold it and instead of selling you might want to opt for buying coins when it is low knowing it will eventually go up again as related history proved it again and again.

It is said that we can make money in trading when the market is up as well as when the market is down. Right now, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a big bloodbath (though there might have been bigger ones before) where some are estimating that we lost around 40% of the market value so far. Though I personally believe that this is just temporary and very historical (it happened in the past on the same period), it is still sad to see what we have already gained just wipe out in some hours and days. This is just the way with cryptocurrency market...

Under this dire situation, are you still trading or you are pausing for a while just waiting for the right timing when to buy coins and tokens again?

I think I will pause for the mean time because it can be also the time where I can rest? for some times. Then if the price is pretty good enough I will be back on the track even if it is n red because there still some buyers and willing to buy bitcoin even for its low price.

[engrlodi]

Of course, I still trade my coins. Actually, I am buying more coins when the days is in red. I think red days is my go signal to buy more coins because of this I can earn more coins and in the future I will earn more profits in the future. I don't sell my coins when it is in red days rather I buy more coins. If you have coins that is having a dip, just hold your coins and in the future you will profits. It will not dump forever rather let us wait that coins will pump in the future. Sometimes you need to be optimistic when it comes trading/

[MIZANUR5033]

The major system to get profit from trading is when coins price decreases then buy as you can and sell them when its price will be increased. Sometimes market goes desperate and up down price without limit.
That time you should just seeing and follow what is happening. If you buy coins with high price then you can not get any type of profits and if get then it will be so low which will not help you more.

Some people can not get profit because they takes decision with emotion. Don’t do anything like this, you should take any decision by knowing all the legal information about that thing. Only then you will have some benefit. If you feel it is not safe to invest money now then just hold up for a while and take decision after some days with your comfort.

For me, I will pause for a while because I know it to myself that it will be best if I will going to do tradings on the time of pump because I do not want to take it for granted to gain and earn larger amount as an opportunity if I am going to do trading at a low price. Right now, I am just quietly observing the price movement and seeking for opportunity in terms of deciding whether I am going to do trading or keep still on pausing for a while until my target amount show up in the price list of the virtual market.

When the red market I prefer to buy, because indirectly we open the positions pushed up market prices, and it will be very profitable for us who do buy

I don’t really think so that trading at time when the market is red will help you in having something profitable as at that time, you will only be losing your money and that’s not actually what you want. It is better to hold your money as well as your coins at time when the market is red to avoid any undesired scene. You just need to stay calm and patient and that trade only when the market has turned out green.

[swscowods]

I am not opening new positions but keep holding my portfolio when it is red. waiting is usually the only more or less safe way to be able to reduce losses. If i keep trading in bearish market i would loss much more comparingly.

Trading at the time when the market is read actually means that you are going to lose all your investment with your very own hands and this will not be something which you have in your mind.
Trading at time when the market is green is a profitable thing to do and that we need to hold all our coins by that time so that we may have something good in the future instead of suffering.

[BossMacko]

Red signals are the best time to buy just make sure that the red currency you are trying to buy has a potential to go green and can make you income just like Bitcoin, ETH, LTC, nano and some other coins even if they become red in a week or two they go up again recovering the price and once you sell it you profit. You will not buy and sell a crypto that has a stable price right?

[sirenmoon]

I personally don't trade in red. There were times when that red served me as a warning for something that is unavoidable and then I traded. I did the good calculation back then because the altcoin I had traded with was dropped at the very low value in a very short time. Trading in blood market is recommended only if your portfolio holds some suspicious coin with no certain future but if you have some stable coins that had already experienced the drops holding is recommended.

[JCO05]

Holding will be a better idea than to trade or sell when the market is in red because trading will just make the situation worse and will just contribute in the dump. Holding will help younto avoid losing money because when it turn into green, that is when you will earn profit and is a better time to trade if ever you are already wanting ti sell or trade your token. And I think this is what most of the traders are doing.

I do not trade when red I just buy a little btc to hold and I will sell when the price is expensive

[Altero]

If red days its good to buy some potential coin and wait for the green days. If atcoins dump it is good to investor they will buy more so that they will keep more coins.

That's the usual things they do for their chances to buy more. Basically, thing may change in different ways and may not sure when market goes into green again but still life continue in trading even without having profit at that time. People are keep on buying and hold for awhile as we believe it will turn into bright side any moment.

As it relates to crypto, people employing your strategy when it fell from $20,000 to $18,000 are still way down on their investment. Then when they bought more at $16,000 and $15,000 and $12,000 and so on are compounding losses with a stupid strategy that isn't guaranteed to pay off.  Many commodity bubbles that pop never retain their old high. If that ends up being the case here, I won't feel bad for people who sit on those losses. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I agree with you. Fundamental mistakes may be based on opinions from some who assume that prices will continue to skyrocket, while in reality we will not be able to resist market flows, if the price continues to decline then sell the assets with sell-loss aims to reduce losses is the choice best, then wait for the right time after the fall trend stops to buy again.

This is again making the same logic fail that I highlighted in my previous post. Your underlying assumption is that because something was once a higher price and is now a lower price, it must as a law eventually go back up to the previous price. So instead of recognizing this as a flaw in the logic, you're instead saying "my assumption isn't wrong, I just bought too early." When you say "wait for the right time after the fall trend stops to buy again" it's the same logical error in taking as a fact that if you just buy at the right time, the price is guaranteed to go up. Nothing in the world works like that; no price is guaranteed to go up from any specific price point.

Highly depends on each individual's actions. When the market crashes, it creates room for future investments (Either for long-term holding or trading). Most are afraid of making any significant moves during that time due to the instability of the prices (Price crashing even further after purchasing and so on).

I'm not a long-term holder nor a trader, however, I have traded in the "Reds" before, trying to take advantage of lower prices.

No its not good to trade when red,  during  these time, the best thing to do is hold your investment and buy coin because the amount or price is not that high. Having ups and down of the price is normal, as an investor or a member it is within you/us the decision what we want to do.

[waynechong1995]

Depending on your scale of losses obviously. For one that losses 50 % might not have any buying power unless new buyers are coming in. You see the nature of the pump of cryptocurrency recently resulted a swift amount of cash. Around 400 b to come in and exit slowly ever since. In simply terms some people had their profits and thats all. They had earned by nullifying our earnings as market are always fair someone win someone lost. What can we do was to simply have more capital for dips, selling loss for another speculation.... or simply HODL on your beliefs

[Kuchiyosenojutsu]

if you have a lot of capital then I would advise you to take advantage when the market is bleeding by buying coins that you think have a good future.
because you will get a price far in market price and hold it until the market recovers, it may take around a few months.
but when you have a coin and the market is bleeding then I suggest you to hold it, do not panic and stay calm because convince yourself that this will pass.
I have some coins at the moment, and I'll just wait until the market turns green.

I don't think it is a logical error in itself either. Of course, price is not guaranteed to go up from any specific price point but it is not about formal logic. I don't think that anyone in his right mind would claim that there is some cast in iron dependency or relationship between price fall and subsequent rise. So it is more about chances and statistics, expectations and hopes that there will be a massive rebound after a correction. I'm sorry to say that but you seem to be nitpicking here.

it is a good time for us to buy more but only if we have a big money to buy the coins. but if we are not sure about the conditions in the market maybe we can only watch and see what is going on in the market. sometimes I buy the coins if I think it will increase in a few days and of course, I only buy after I doing analysis with the coin and I'd prefer to wait for the low price to buy the coin. but at the other time, it is better to just see the price is moving from down to up and then down again too deep because sometimes the price will get down for more. so I think it is about how we are going to do when we see the market.

Trading while the market is red, surely is risky.  Much better if you will wait until the market recover or to turn green. In that way you will be able to make sure of the profit. Buying is more advisable as well as holding. That's obvious. Crashes are only temporary and after a couple of weeks, recovery will take place. It is a typical scenario with cryptocurrencies. So just buy at dips.
