Worst year of trading for me damn

[meldrio1]

you are unlucky trader of the year lol, well we don't know when they will go up the prices of our cryptos, try your luck in the next year who knows you will be lucky trader in 2019.

[kamilah147]

You're really unlucky. If you had the chance, you could double your assets. But don't worry, everyone is in the same situation with you, most of the small investors in 2018 lose money. 

inevitably the current situation is the same. if indeed you don't want to be in this situation, it's better not to go into the world of bitcoin. because plunging in the world of bitcoin must be able to accept whatever situation occurs.

He's the worst for everyone,only a few whales are manipulations to make good money,and basically there is one sink,and minus and normal,so yeah totally agree,the year brought so many surprises to the negative,hoping that the 19th year will bring us much more prospects and long-awaited growth

[Negdan4ik]

have a little patience, this year, and especially its end is terrible,but I think we should wait and everything will be fine.

[bummm]

It seems to me that users of cryptocurrencies have already get used to the fact that the market of digital assets is not simple and very unstable. I hope we will see more options of strategies which have aim to minimizing losses from trading.

So after the bearish market came
I've been holding more alts than BTC/ETH

Coins like COSS, NANO, CND and etc
I been making loss and missing out most of the pump because i sell these coins and convert it to ICON (ICX) which i waited it to be move
So basically after everytime i sold my specific alts, few days later it went 100%   

NANO, bought at 0.011 ETH i sold at 0.005 ETH, 7 days later, it went up to 0.013 ETH. Hold for almost 6 months and sold, it went up after 7 days.
Same to NANO, COSS

Everytime i sold, within days to 1/2 week
It pumped like crazy

Just like COSS
Sold off 100k at 28 ETH last week
Today 100k COSS priced at 53 ETH

Holy i been making huge losses in 2018 

I always say to my friends that although trading is more profitable than holding. But it's a hard wasting psychological game! You need great experience and a strong nerve to win it! That's why I don't trade!

[bongbong2014]

Most people do not keep trading psychology in this market so they make wrong decisions. I think you need to redefine your target to have a reasonable hold time, so do not use emotions to trade.

[Femhab]

What if the same COSS dumped below the price you sold it? There shouldn't be regret in trading. Once you stand on your decision to sell or buy the best is to accept everything that comes after it. Sorry for the loss. Better time is coming.

[mastersay]

We are all experiencing worst year for trading this year. Because of bad market value and unstable pump and dumps. In that case you got to stop on what you are doing to avoid any more losses. Just wait for next year to calm the market until we have a good trading health.

[zikzag]

Yes, I also had such situations. This is a market and not always guess when to sell.

Bull markets can be very deceiving, if you invest when the market is about to skyrocket you may think that you are a genius and that is because you do not have to do anything to earn a huge amount of money, and the worst part is that you may believe it and think that you are some kind of genius when you are not and then when the market goes down you believe that you can still make money in it only to lose everything.

People are finally realizing that traditional technical analysis does not work. They all thought they were geniuses when they bought almost any coin last year, and made easy peasy 10x or 100x,,, and guys like me, I even just bought a few coins and flipped them twice even three times for x2 profits, I thought I was a genius.

Then this year, I used those profits to buy at what was supposed to be bargains. I bought again two even 3 more times as prices got lower. So now, I end up with many cheap coins that got even cheaper.

End result: total dollar value now is not even break even, but below initial dollar investment. But for me this is OK. 30% losses or so from start bankroll in super bear market is GOOD. Now if only things can recover by 2020 I will be fine.

There are more people here who loss more than you do. 30% is better compared to my losses which is more than 70% as of my rough estimate. See you on 2020, I will still be here and there should be a significant changes in the market.

I beg your pardon, but were you a really lucky trader this year? I suppose, at least 90% of the guys, who use this Forum will give a negative answer to this question. 2018 was a very difficult time for all.

that's right, almost everyone who is involved in cryptocurrency experienced the same thing because this year the decline was very large so it is certain to suffer losses if we sell our assets now, the choice is to keep holding to wait for the cryptocurrency back to good for cut losses and even take a profit.

But holding alone will do nothing. Sometimes, it's better to gamble more than just play safe. I suggest if you are holding a certain coin, at most half of it, you use for day trading. Just let the other half for holding. You may know this because you're older than me, but just in you miss it.

Trying to trade for the half amount will be good, but it's only if you have potential coins that could up and down in many times so you can buy at the lower price and sell at the higher price. Some coins have this movement in daily, but we need to analyze with carefully because sometimes we need to wait for longer than usual. As long as you can choose the right coins, you can try to increase your profit plus your coin balance.

[aprilnot]

You should be more patient to hold the altcoin you have. I've also felt the same way like that. maybe worse than this. I once held an altcoin for more than 6 months, because the price didn't go up I sold it. a few days later there was a large pump and the price rose more than 100%.

since then I prefer to be patient.

At least you learned your lesson and you are back at where you started but there are many that never learn their lesson and they keep trading and investing thinking they will recover their money only to find out too late that is not the case, armed with that knowledge you can now earn profits in the market that will last and not those fast profits that come and easily go as well.

Don't be too disappointed. Price movements are indeed very difficult to predict. Deep analysis is often missed. If there are people who can really predict prices accurately, he will get rich quickly. In 2018 it was quite bad, I was trapped several times by a fake wall so I lost quite a lot. Well, hopefully the green bar will come soon.

We should be more focus on that green bar than get upset on our wrong decision that leads to loses.
Crypto will stay, and we maybe have a bad year but we will come strong to recover and will bring that bull run again.
Mark my word, once there is a big news and price is bullish, people will FOMO and that's it.
