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

[sajjad.uc]

If that type of situation arrives, when you keep loosing, you should stop trading for that sessions. You have to calm down, cool your nerves. Trying to stay relax. Because when we loose, we become ferocious! We try to recover our loss. In that time more loss happens. So the best choice is to quit for a moment. Check out the market and make another plan. You can hold for a days and observe the market. Soon it will goes towards your target. So being patient is the main thing.

You have no other choice but to hold it. If you think the coin you are holding has a bright  future ahead, better  to hold and wait like waiting on investment in a stock market. Your patience will be paid someday.

Getting into similar situations is the norm, for such a playing market as crypto-currencies. Personally, I'm playing for the money that is ready to lose irrevocably, for this drawdown, even 50% of me do not worry. Practice shows that growth will be inevitable. Just need to wait ...

[CryptoDens]

just like a few weeks ago because of Korean and China issued regulation to banned all exchange trade cryptocurrency, all of trader have lose a lot. At that moment I watch the chart how I will take action Hold or Cut Off, after take some analysis, I decided to Cut Off some of my asset about 45% before it going down deep. Cause my analysis the rebound will take longer than usually, maybe more than a months to recover.

[coolcharacter]

Some solid replies on here. Speaking from experience, it is best you hold. Things will turnaround in due time and you will either get back your initial investement or some profits. Best you focus on other projects for the time being and completely forget about crypto for now. I know it isnt easy but you have to set your mind to something else and revisit your coins later on.

[DAOfan]

You are probably just trading with your gut instincts, which will get you slaughtered every time. You need to make smart predictions based on facts and sound investment strategy or you need to get very good at math and trust the math. Size your positions based on their risk. Don't tell yourself you are genius when things are going great or you will make mistakes.

[MonkeyBrain]

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

I would add - buy the dips. Once you get paid from job or w/e.

I agree. If you believe in the coins, buy on the dips and lower your average buy price.  Then when it rises, you'll be in the green much faster and calm your nerves.  Again only buy the dips if you like the coins. Don't blindly buy on the dips or you'll end up with bigger loses. This is your chance to DYOR if you didn't before since you got no more money to buy. I practrice what I preach by the way  . Good Luck

[Maluscoviski]

the only solution and you stop looking at the coins all the time, and forget about them, and wait for them to return, now invest in other currencies, and when your loss returns you sell it.

hmm you cant really influence your decisions a lot, because you can only think what you have learned.

you might have had opportunity costs, but those cannot be avoided.

secondly the market is not very rational in its evaluations and is quite volatile also in the long run.

[IloveDigibyte]

I think it is best of you stop thinking for a while. Do not check it every hour or even every day. Give yourself a little rest and let it grow. Log in in a week and see the difference, than do another week. Soon the correction will be over and the prices will move upward.

[avia]

This is a huge lose and its gonna be hard to just set it aside and not think about it. However, in this sotuation, i guess setting it aside and not thinking about it the best thing that you should do; get your mind off of it. As with your remaining coins, hodl them; give them about a year or two and just check on them every week or so. Eventually, those coins will grow in value. This situation is truly stressful but you have to remember that values won't keep on going down, it will also rise or imcrease. It is just a matter of time.

[Maxcrypto1990]

Best thing you can do is just forget about it.

Other option of you have more capital, buy at the lower price.

You are already ahead of the curve, if you are not panic selling your coins.

[kemet jr]

As for the recent value of those coins, I agree with most here which is to HOLD. Soon when developments are up on those coins, they will gain value. You now have the option top continue investing on other promising coins or not. As for me, I got thesame fate as yours. Now i stopped putting in me. I am now focusing on bounties to gain momentarily what i have lost.

[oginiimaoyani]

Hold your coins, the dip you see now is temporal the price will normalize and you will not regret for holding them.

[kamudd]

Im experiencing the same thing, just hold those coins and move onto some other ones. ones that have better gain potential. even dead coins sometimes surprises traders when they eventually pump to even up to x50 or more. crypto is a crazy world.

not only you friends, it also happened to me, when I lost more than 50% in trading I feel very desperate and try to decide to sell my coins because of limited funds. but what happens next is a deeper regret that after 24 hours I sold, the coin pumped up to more than 100% and it makes me very sorry, so from now on when I am already in a losing position in the trade then I will continue to hold coin me though in a long time.

[cryptopusa]

Holding it wont hurt your ass,but selling these coins in panic will give you a lot of headache,i personally holding a lot of coins because i am one of those people who got FOMO after some hype but then when i bought these coins the price were dropped down to 50% from the price where i bought these.We have no choice but to hold it for sometime unless you are stupid enough to sell them in panic,you can lose everything.

[lyons]

If you are trading with cryptocurrencies, you must be ready for every kind of results. You shouldn't trade with the amounts which can bring you economical crysis. Try to learn from your trade history and continue or just quit.

[iqrasalsabila]

Dare to invest means dare to take risks.
The situation you are experiencing now means you are having bad luck.
Your actions are right with keep in holding them, I will also do the same.
Wait until the value back up, at least exceeded a little of the amount of funds that you spend, after that it is up to you, whether to sell or re still hold if you want to get big profit.

[Maglaver]

You said it, just holding and not selling it when it's low.
You bought them when market was in very green color.

Go to work and forget about your investments for 2 months. After 2-3 months come back and if you are still in a loss then you can start to worry
