What do you do when you are over 50% lose on your trades?

[ovcijisir]

just forget about the coins and hold until they hit back your price, focus on other coins and ico and do other stuffs.

I agree, sometimes it is best not to trade and hodl. I lost a lot while trading by making rash decisions, and at one point decided it is better so stay low and don't stir things much. Now I am hodling and not worrying very much. Price can go higher and can go lower. It is important not to invest too much in it.

[hildacitra]

the only thing I do if it happens is just keep and wait until the coins I have reach high price, so I can pick the profit instead. nobody wants to lose.

[iconoclast]

You need to treat each investment separately, if the reasons you bought them still hold true then consider adding to your position to lower your average cost. If circumstances have changed then reassess your investment. I only sell coins when they reach my target or when the circumstances change.

[arunakiran]

Once you lose heavy % of your investment you have no choice just HODL, If you want you can average at these prices and will have a pump later.
Don't make losses by selling at these prices, just hodl and wait for the time.

[Treshkilling]

just wait for the market to recover your coins will give a plus , I also have about the same situation and it is very unstable , you need to understand it. Good luck.

[coolcountry]

Hopefully the market will turn soon.

The question is when the market will turn. It has to turn.

The market won't be turning until 6-8 months from now, maybe even much longer. The last time this occurred lasted for 2-2.5 years

Buckle in or gtfo asap

Thank you for the realistic approach. Every time the price dipped in the last two months, people have been commenting "now the price will start to increase" or "there is no way but up", without giving any reasons at all. The market shows no signs of real recovery and it looks like it is going to be like this for the foreseeable future.

[BobBoulder]

Actually, at this moment, we're all in a double-digit minus situation.
You need to wait for the market to recover and You're still not in loss.
You would be if you sold you coins now below the price you bought it.
If you HODL, eventually you could be in the winning position again.

It's so pessimistic forecast I've ever heard. I was hoping for a recovery at the beginning of this year 
But I quess you are right. It is better to hope for the best and expect the worst.

At this moment I am losing more than 60% of what I had invested in the month of December, so at this moment I no longer find it a good viable option to sell my altcoins at a price as low as the current one. At least from the statistical point of view at this moment it seems much more likely that the price of the altcoins will experience an upward correction that will continue to fall as strongly as it has hitherto. Therefore "hold" is my only option at this time.

Most of the users who made their investment by the end days of December will be experiencing a massive loss. This is possible to be gained only when the market grows, as a part now the market has been growing slowly. On the whole holding is the only way, else need to involve into continued buying and selling making use of the small marginal growth.

[altercreed]

Trading is not an easy task especially if you're a day trader. Anything can happen anytime of the day and you may miss a big profit or end up seeing your cryptos in a losing price. If i am already losing over 50% of my trades, then i think, i have to stop and hodl for a while and see it back if needed.

If you notice in all these coins I am in HUGE lose. I am holding this of course. Coz I would never sell my coins in lose. I did in past but learnt my lessons.

How do you handle when you are in my situation.

Usually in these cases when we have lost nearly 50% of your money, we don't have much choice but keep holding until its rise again. however there are many chances that those coins will rise back in the future, so holding will be a much safer way. But if you don't know exactly what will happen to the future of your coins then selling some coins to cut loss may be a better idea.

[Ailmand]

be patient. don't rush you take a decision, if the price is still down 50% from the beginning you buy, maybe now you must hold it for the time being. because it is at the beginning of the year often a decline in prices.

I agree. I think this is happening because you're hyped, and you want a short cut to get your losses back. I am not saying that trading is gambling, but just to show the context, when you gamble and you lose, you enter a state that you want to play more to get your loses back, on the other hand, if you win, you would want to play more to extend your winnings. Either way, the effact is the same, you want to play more for different, and wholly opposite reasons. Similar with losing in trades, you would normally want to get it back quickly, so the best move is to stay away from it, breathe, and check why you are losing, and do the necessary measures to avoid them.

[Onestepinhell]

the last time we saw how the coins just went up the hill and there was no drawdown from them. So this is a normal phenomenon that they all sagged and bitcoin the same way.
I think everything will go up

[Laodungchun]

Such a situation is especially difficult if you invest only a little and you can not afford to invest again. My only advice to you is that when it does not really hope that it will increase it must decide to release it. Or give it a little more time. Like love, If you can not wait for , you lose.

[tannerchum]

Cutting a 50% loss is too much.. Instead, just forget about that trade and focus on another opportunity for now.. You can check on it from time to time in case price has improved.

That is true, 50% is too much but their is no too much to a business minded person. In bitcoin and when you are trading you don't even look for the lose but instead look forward for what you are going to get from it. When you are trading you must be ready to take a risk because it is realistic. 

[akihiro101117]

"Hold your horses!" --   WAIT for your success. There's always a rainbow after the rain. There was a sharp decline now, BUT it will go up again in the future. So, don't worry and be happy. Try to divert your attention to other things. Make some alternative way to earn money and go back to your Altcoin when the price is high already.

At such times, you need to temporarily stop trading. If you sell your coins in a panic, then you will regret it later. The best option is HODL.

[Lare linglung]

the main course you must be patient, because crypto has a very significant and rapid change of value. so you do not have to worry, hold up until your coin is up.
