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.

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.

Yes, I also stop trading in similar situations. You can temporarily focus on something else. It has been scientifically proven that the best rest for the brain is to start another occupation. The crypto currency market will necessarily recover to the previous positions and you can again trade.

Turn off your phone, your laptop, your desktop, your blockfolio
Start painting, do meditation.
Come back 2 months later, everything is gonna be just fine.

If as a result of your trading activities you lost 50% of your funds it is a signal that you do not know how to trade in this market. You need to get serious training or become a long-term investor.

[kemet jr]

If you believe that these coins are not just shitcoins but are really of good projects, then just hold on it. You could have exited on your hold when you lose less than 5% If you will sell it, you definitely  lose your money.

Losing more than half of the money we hold at hand does not mean that We do not know this market. Because this market does not have the usual valid economic theories.

[ShadyMash]

only best thing you can do is HODL until that coins give you profits.seems like you invest in good coins so one day they will rise.but you must be patient .that is the most wanted quality of any trader.if you are afraid for loss you can use STOP LOSS feature.it may cut your loss little bit.But don't sell in 50% loss.

[nitin8263]

Some time we get a huge lose so its result that you don't know how to trade in crypto and you can't tolerate and you can't hold your coins the best option to hold your coins.

[horner35]

Put your sell orders in for break even and hodl.  While your waiting to get your money back in one STUDY STUDY STUDY.  Once cash free up place it into your best pick and start to rebound your portfolio.  We all go through this from time to time.

[MartiniBlanco]

I just do nothing and I relax because -50% is nothing in crypto guys! And it is not good to cut losses from projects that still have potential to grow up in the future. I just wait until the market goes bullish again.

Didn't you just answer your own question?
Selling now would be the stupidest thing to do.
More than that, why did you choose these coins?
Well, whatever the case is, the crypto market is still in it's infancy and the market will rise.  Just be patient.

Even coins that seem to be completely dead, some of these have been know to rise from the grave through new developers.
Not to mention if your dead coin gets targeted for a pump and dump.
This happened to me before.
I was doing day trading and say some movement potential in a shitcoin called eddiecoin.  My timing was off and and I ended up with a bunch of eddiecoin just sitting on the exchange.  I left it there with an open sell order for a hefty profit for 5 months and forgot about it.

Well, last novemberish I was suddenly suprised to see that my eddie had sold off!
I saw the trade history and it spiked in value 1800% in an hour and a half!
Then it dropped down to it's dismally low prices again haha.
So I was able to get rid of them for a decent profit.
Now, this is extremely rare though, so I wouldn't count on it.

the best thing that we can do is close the computer, take a deep breath, do another thing that will make our minds is not thinking about the coin for all day long. and if we still have money, maybe we can buy more for each coin so we can reduce our average buy price and we can expect and wait for the price increase back. sometimes I buying the coins again if the price is down and I think that the coin has a good chance to increase in short time and I am willing to add another amount to my wallet.

If you are losing so much money then you are not a trader but an investor, if you bought those coins thinking as a trader and are in 50% loss then the only thing I can tell you is that you need to learn how to use the stop loss function in your favorite exchange and put a range at which you will sell.

[grchina]

Not a lot that you can do in this kind of situation,either sell them with loss and invest in coin that you thing have a bright future or just hodl them and hope that price will ever go up.This is why there are options like stop loss in trading that prevents you from making this big mistake and losing over 50%

[Prodigan786]

I am not checking portfolio  frequently I may check once when whole market go it’s advisable to have a patience atleast you get 2x profit of your btc investment. Out of your investment trx may give huge profit.

[gohan21]

I think you need to stop trading because you have nothing to do with your strategy and you do not have anything to do with Crypto's just use your money in a good way.

[Fergus Lewis]

Let be more happy . Please believe in a bright tomorrow. No one can say anything. Maybe someday in the sky someday everything will be better. Enjoy your life and do not look at the computer all day. Good luck

[cpoer2011]

Just hodl your all your crypto that you have bought (portfolio) for long term because the market is down right now. Just give the market some time to recover and your portfolio will recover also. I have a situation just like you and I HODL my portfolio as my long term investment. Just enjoy your day. We hope the market will be better. Thanks

[Bonus777]

I try to avoid such situations. But if this has already happened, then only wait. Wait until the market begins to grow and prices will recover. Use a risk management strategy. If the market enters a bearish phase, then sell with a loss of 5-10% and then buy at the bottom.

Right now what I do is to do trading on Binance, day trading needs skill so you can learn from experience to be a day trader. You can also do bounties while waiting. Junior members already can join different bounties. Try it.
