When is the best time of investing into ICO?

Is it during the launch of the token trading on an exchange after the ICO? For instance, by waiting for aftermarket trading to begin, you can remove the liquidity/exchange risk.

If you really believe in this project, then the best time for investing in ISO is pre-sale. It is in pre-sale you can get bonuses up to 50% !!! This is a big risk but also an opportunity to get an amazing profit ...

Pre-sale is great if you really believe in the project and can get you big discounts. Generally the earlier you invest you can a better deal.

Investing right near the end of the ICO or after a few days can allow you to gauge how successful it will be and make better informed decisions.

Investing post ICO can reduce the risk of getting scammed and sometimes allow you to pick up cheaper coins, conversely you can miss the opportunity to profit as most of the best ICOs will trade at a premium when launching on an exchange compared to the ICO price.

You are right we should dare to take risks when we find ico that interest to us because the opportunity will not twice, pre sale is the best way to get bomb of profit

For me the best thing to invest in ICO is when ethereum's price surged up so you can buy a lot of tokens from these pre-sale or crowdsales because if ethereum's price dropped the hardcap of these ICO projects would be bigger and viceversa.You just need to pick those good projects over these bunch of trashy projects so you can be sure that your investment wouldnt be wasted,because most of the ICOs today are created just to raise funds and then will run away from investors.

While I do agree, if you think the project is worthwhile getting in 1st can be very profitable. That said, I would either get in 1st in crowd sale or pick up on exchanges. Getting involved in between there is tough and think it is a recipe for disaster in general.

Safest time to invest with these ICOs is when the project would have reached its softcap so you can be sure that the project will push thru,joining pre-sale has more risk than joining the main crowsale because if an ICO has reached atleast the soft cap it only means that the project has potentials to grow in the future.

Indeed, to buy coins during the pre-sale of ICO this is the most profitable.
But at the same time, this is a very big risk that the crowdsale may be a failure.
I usually fear very large discounts.

If I missed both the pre-sale and ICO, but they haven't listed on an exchange yet, is there anyway to buy the tokens? Also, is there a way to check the price or value without that exchange? TIA!

The best time is absolutely at the earliest time you can - which would mean the pre-sale. Earliest means biggest bonuses, because you are taking a bigger risk as you don't know whether or not the coin will sell well.
A lot of projects have a descending scale of bonuses, with some offering a huge % bonus at pre-sale.

If it's not on an exchange, then it doesn't have a price, other than whatever the ICO price was.
The price on exchange or coinmarketcap is simply the current trading rate - the price can't change unless it is being traded.

I personally buy from ico if the project 100% suits my requirements otherwise i prefer buying from the exchanges as mostly the coins dump after listing.

[EricExxo]

The best time to invest in ICO's is during presale. If you are an early adopter and supporter you know where the project is heading before the rest of the world does.

[renes]

It is clearly pre-sale, the best time to invest in ico, but for most ico's the best thing one can do is not investing at all in the first place, but in good projects pre-ico is good opportunity for investors.

[Blas]

The best time to invest in ICO is during the presale period, because very often the bonus given is significant. But this is only working if you really have faith in the project. Otherwise I prefer to wait a little and see how much interest is in the project.

The hype around some ICO projects is very high, so it's good to determine such projects in advance and take part in ICO. Nowadays many projects make a whitelisting and KYC, which could be over in just a few minutes. So if you are not in the whitelist you won't be able to participate in ICO. As I saw before such projects made not less than x2-x5 after the listing.

The most appropriate time to invest in anything technology related is immediately after your due diligence unless while being diligent you discovered a strong reason to wait (known obstacles to be overcome etc). If there is anything that holds you back from investing after your due diligence you should keep a very close eye on whatever that was so you can act (or not) as quickly as possible when the appropriate time comes.

Token sale would be more profitable but if the ICO has failed you could lose a lot of money,i personally recommended most of the people to wait until an ICO has reached the soft cap because it only means people are interested on the project.If an ICO has reached the soft capt i will surely join because it has more chance to achieve success in its ICO sales,probably  sold out will happen when,the logic is the earlier you buy tokens the more risk you are taking but you will receive more profits if the ICO succeed.

[poketis22]

Of course, it's better to invest in ICO at the beginning, since at the start the tokens cost a penny, and by the end of ico the price grows, but when you invest in the midst of ico then it is easier to assess all the risks. Everyone chooses by himself, it all depends on the choice experience !

After the completion of the ICO there is no guarantee for it's further rapid growth. You need to carefully analyze the projects and you can invest during crowdsale, if there are good bonuses.

I think pre ICO is the right time if we want to invest in an ICO project. because at the time of pre ICO usually we will to get a bonus price so we will get a coin with a little cheaper and we will get more profit when the team has started running the roadmap that is planned after the ICO ..
