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

[DefDope66]

There's obviously no way of knowing if those coins will bounce back. You probably understood the risk when you invested and you probably also understand that everything is in a slump lately. HODLING could result in bigger losses. Selling now would also be a loss. I would consider splitting the difference. Sell half, HODL the rest.

i am not doing anything now    i lost more than 50% in 2-3 months but still holding. i think best way is holding because if try return to profitability by trading i lost more because market is really awful last days.

[Barbarian]

Nothing! Just hold until the market recovers. The common mistake of many traders is selling at a lost during a dip. You will not lose anything if you won’t sell. So just be patient and wait for the recovery.                                                                                                                                                                           

The only exception to this is if you invested in a very bad coin because if you did the only thing you you can do to avoid losing even more money it is to start selling your coins if someone here in the forum did that let that be a lesson for you don't invest in projects that are not solid and that do not have a future.

You are not the only one who is so fortunate. I also lost half of my invested funds for this month. Most forum members say that you need to continue to keep coins. I think we should support the opinion of the majority. Moreover, many analysts predict a further recovery of the crypto market

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.

There is not a definite answer, I am in the same position, one of my investments has been down for months but I still think the development of the coin is going great and I still have faith in the project so I have decided to keep holding my coins and not sell, but if that is not the case and you do not trust the coin can recover at all then it may be a good idea to sell and cut your losses.

I will choose to keep waiting, the world of cryptocurrencies will always have huge fluctuations!
To be able to encrypt currency in such huge fluctuations, you can gain success!
Never sell your cryptocurrency at a loss!

[yesyes18]

Sorry for your loss buddy. Almost all of us have lost so much and in grievance with fellow members. What I have learnt is to start a little day trading- one of the most riskiest and tedious activity in crypto. It really helps in making little profits that can help cover up for some of your losses.

[crustycrab666]

50% loss? I think, I will rest for a while and refresh the mind. afterwards invite fellow traders to discuss, and determine strategic steps for recovery. just think of exercises to strengthen mentally.

[axiline]

If the asset that I hold is more than 50%, then I will keep it until full recovery. Experience shows that the market is cyclical, and after the fall, growth always follows.

Since the market dropped from 19K btc price to till now I am basically away from all sorts of trading LOL

Holy cow!!! Now it's -62.58%

[Phaphoo]

Once am in a situation like this, I will just forget about the market and my investment and move to something else, cuz I know the situation won't last for a long period of time. So I just take my mind out of it, but checking on maybe once a week for updates. Because I don't wanna have a heart attack, lol.

[emmaong12]

Much bigger loss now if you didn't sell lol.

[lobanoval]

You  need to spend money only on solid coins if you have a weak heart. At least try to balance it with coins like ETH and BTC to reduce possible loss.

[paisiifokin]

Juts wait for the prices to recover. I hope you do not need this money for some urgent situation.

[NaXxow]

right now I am more than 50% loss, but I am not selling it. I am a trader and at the same time hodler, I will gain more coins and tokens during bearish season, and take profit during Bull season. In short, I will take the risk of holding during this time of bearish.

[Vanshenz]

I will choose to hold it, because if I sell it then I lose 50% of my money, therefore I will hold it until I get a profit or at least my capital is not lost.

[booboom465]

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.

[FrankHilk9]

At this time, i not lost 50$ percent my money, because i lost about 80 precent man

[hunterWood]

I'm also at a probably more than 50% loss. There's not much you can do, I don't want to sell my holdings and give up.

[yohaneshs]

Take a rest and review my trading strategy. when i loss too much i think i will loss again if i dont introspection and try to recovery quickly.

We have to control emotional when loss in trading, take a time to review strategy business and recovery when you ready.
