On 10th I bought these coins...

QLC             665.39235960        spent 0.04669735 BTC now value 0.02208817                     
DBC           3489.01913490        spent 0.11399558 BTC    now value 0.04789097                     
UTK             999.14623990          spent 0.07351075 BTC now value 0.04367548
TRX         11704.11100000        spent  0.11480700 BTC now value 0.07415842
VTC              43.46405229          spent 0.01995629 BTC now value 0.01713204
MUSIC      6321.99316783          spent 0.04531524 BTC now value 0.02180519

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.

Be happy be at peace. Looking forward to BTC at $1M

You log off your PC, and enjoy your life without crypto.

Seriously.

Maybe check CMC once a week and you will eventually be in the green - it could take a week or a year.

Once you are losing more percentage of your investment you have no choice what to do but to HODL, every dip of the coin will have a pump later.
Once a future development comes an improvement on the project are visible the price will surely pump more than the expected amount. don't make losses just hodl and wait for the time it pumps.

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.

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.

Consider your investments as lost but DONT liquidate. "Move on with life" find new money and start again and get back some confidence, this time buy top 20 coins to preserve and increase value slowly.

Stop looking for moon coins for now.

You cant go wrong with ETH, NEO, Walton, Power Ledge, Steller

there Is only 1 way from that you can recover your amount that when ever price will decrease more than you should buy more and if you have a little profit sell it. Or another way is if 1 of your trade will rise and will complete your loss than you can sell other token and keep only the profit making one.

Thanks for sharing your link in Telegram channel. I can give you one advise. Just HODL. If you are not strong in trading and will make decisions now, you can lose even more. But it is just my opinion.

Bouncing back from 50% loss is not impossible in crypto market trading world, you can clearly see that some coins rebat with 100% gain on its price based on my little experience on trading, I'm not that good or expert with this kind of trading but I manage to witness some coins pumps over 100+ percent like bitcoin and eth over a short period of time. Holding the right coin is the key for you to cover all the loss of 50% because if you manage to hold some useless coins from PD and scammer groups then you may have to shift to another genuine crypto.

What do I do when I'm in loss ?

Playing a game on my laptop  Wink Try to find an activity which will interest you and will force you to forget about everything (don't consider tabacco, alcohol and etc). Or you can search for some potential ICOs and try to do their bounty program. And remember to have an additional second plan in such loss cases. My advice for future: send a small part of your profits to a wallet and use it only when your coins go bearish.

It is a good question! Sometimes sell all coins you have is better, sometimes you need to hold. All depends of situation. As for me if we are talking about curently moment, I prefer hold all and do not sell.

Nothing new there, happens lots of times to lots of traders. It just means you are checking your portfolio at the wrong time, try again in a few weeks and you'll be in profit again. That is the way to go with crypto, it rises and falls rapidly, just need to hodl and wait out the storm. Unless you got really unlucky and invested in several scam coins!

The max loss I experienced was 30% and I had no choice but to cut rather than hope and wait for price to rise.. I have been hoping since my loss was 5% until it got to -30%..  Cry

You should read some sources, you should try to analyze a coin you will buy, whether the coin is potential or not to be invested, if I see capital that you spend big enough and you currently lose up to it. Crypto is very cruel to beginners. So there are two options that is, continue if you dare to try it and second you close and take all your treasure, and run life away from crypto. If you want to continue. Start reading and researching crypto, so you do not lose any more! Wink

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.

PS: I regularly invest (taken it seriously recently) in ICOs and keep record of my Invested ICOs. I also made a list of the upcoming ICOs
that I am awaiting to invest. Everyone needs someone's support and so do I. Sharing my ICO SpreedSheet with ICO enthusiasts
help me to improve my knowledge and minimise the risk of my investment. You might also get the same from it.
Feel free to access my SpreedSheet from my Telegram Channel https://t.me/FilteredICOs.    

  

You already give the answer holding on or let go.
Lets say if those "money" i use to invest is earn through bitcoin i will just hold it as trading on whatever instrument there is definitely winning "trade" and losing trade and the money involve in the first place is not mine is what i earn from the BTC and i am just giving a portion back to the BTC and lets say if the "trade" rise back everything goes well i take back profit. The best thing that i will do is to pray that the price will go back although it is not a very "clever" thing to do, but is the only thing i will do.

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