Panic selling and postpone from trading, which one is the worse one?

[shesheboy]

We can't compare one with another generally because which one is worse will be decided based on the market situation.Sometimes panic selling can save us from huge dump or it may eat our profits by taking the steps too early and other think keep postponing the trades might also make us to be in loss in this uncertain market unless you are a confident long term holder.

postponing your trades isnt bad and wont make you loss rather that can save you from from getting tempted of selling  .  you can earn more if you wait  . panic selling on the other hand is not also bad but sometimes it can be beneficial  . let say the price pump unexpectedly and then you did panic selling , you can earn instantly but if you wait and insist to hodl your coins  , the price can possibly dump after several minutes  .  imo there is no worst from the both of them  .  it only depend on the person if how can he use these two methods in here trades  .

In my opinion, it's better to postpone trade than to trade but in a state of panic. Because panic will only add to the problem. And only regrets will be obtained.

It's a though question.All the people that HODLing for the long term (or postponing trading,like you wrote) have faith that bitcoin price will eventually go to the moon.All the panic sellers have lost their faith in btc and are very insecure about everything related to the crypto market.In the end it's all about what will happen to bitcoin.Will it skyrocket,or will it fade away?Nobody knows,so there's no winning strategy.

if you trade postpone to avoid losses, maybe that is a very reasonable thing, but some people cannot think clearly when prices fall and they are more interested in selling them immediately.

IMO, I think panic selling even better than postpone trading. When any team behind any cryptocurrency postpone all trading activity related to their cryptocurrency for a while so that mean their crypto trading volume will decrease to 0 so it'll easily make their crypto forgotten if it's not a really good cryptocurrency. Although panic selling is not good as well but it'll keep trading volume the same as before or maybe just a little bit lower.

Holding is always the best option, everything will experience price drips on the way up.  Panic sellers are the emotional type that can't stomach price drops so they act foolish and sell off only to watch the price rise up after they sell. 

Both of them is worst than hodling. You have to have the tendency to deal with the market fluctuations and not panic not postpone trading when the price of the coins you are holding crashes. This is considered an abnormality in the business.
One should rather hodl the coins regardless of the fall. However, cashing a part of your coins is the best step during Bull Run.

In order to stand out among all, one of the most critical and important thing a bear market investor can do is to keep away from being frenzy. Panic selling is virtually an emotional response to fear and rarely involves proper reasoned and patient analysis.

The market might be down without a doubt, however to the forward reasonable people, a bear market can be the purchasing chance of a lifetime. Most times, panic selling will definitely get out of hand that exchanges halt trading until the individual gets his or her heads together. You really tend to gain more when you don’t engage in panic selling.

In my opinion, panic selling will be much worse, this is because when we do panic selling we will not be able to think clearly. This is what will make us experience losses because we sell coins that we have are much cheaper than when we buy them. Things like this must be avoided, so try to be able to make the best decision possible by having good emotional control when a situation occurs such as dumping prices in the market.

Without doubts, a trader must avoid panic selling. It is kind of improper trading. Instead of collapsing our own trading plans by emotional failures, it would be always better to quit for the day so that new opportunities may rise up in next days. Delaying will not hurt in crypto markets unlike most other markets. Hence, I strongly believe, a trader must opt for postponing rather than closing orders out of panic. This cannot be a general solution for all the situations but it will definitely handful for most of the situations.

I guess it depends on what percentage you are going to lose. Like if you panic sold something and you lost 80%, that's bad. Maybe a dump happened or just plain unlucky.  Postpone from trading could either make yourself in a better position or even worse, it just depends on the timing that you have. I think it only has a trading strategy would be better like Reversal Trading or Dollar Cost Averaging it. Automating it is also a dream, and that's why I use Gunbot to be emotionless.

I definitely agree that your emotions shouldn't be triggering you to panic sell, but even the best traders end up panic selling, but that's because of how the market sentiment shifted, and not so much because of emotions. Traders need to cut their losses asap some times, because if you keep sticking to your plan, but ignore the changed sentiment, you'll lose big time.

People strongly believe that sticking to their trading plan is necessary, but it's no longer that when the market signals that the sentiment is changing. I have had to deal with this too a few times. I really believed that no matter what, I had to stick to my plan, but that turned out to be a failure. It works as long as the sentiment plays out in your favor, but as soon as you notice that it's changing, you should follow. It's that simple.

[gabbie2010]

Some traders panic-sell to cut their massive losses which is a very risky and dangerous behavior why not postpone trading for a while and relax? rather than to resort to emotional and uncontrollable form of trading that might lead to more losses, of course panic selling is worse than postponed trading judging by advises I obtained from professional traders.

Panic selling for me is the worst. You never think that we can still patiently hodl for the sake of profits. If we panic sell our own tokens we will be deficit and our goal here is to have profit, not the other way around. It is okay to hodl it longer as long as you still follow your target profit. Sadly, when they see a big red candles, many traders are panicking and will FOMO.

[Bagaji]

One cannot say this particular option is the worst decision since no one is hundred percent sure of what will be the out come at the end of each decision you take.

The dynamic situation of cryptocurrency these days in general responded by three ways: selling panicly with the risk of cut-loss in order to save the remaining assets from more fallen, hold the assets and playing save by not doing any trading activities, and view the phenomenon as a diamond chance then buying coins in huge amounts of investments while the prices are low. Of course, those three ways are logically humane and each has their own pluses and minuses.

I am intrigued upon the first two: panic selling and postponing from trading.

On doing panic selling, ones tend to sell their assets in the price lower than in the actual price. The main goal is to sell their coins faster to save themselves from the worse situation, without consideration upon the impact of their behaviour towards the market in general.

Meanwhile, ones could also hold their assests and postpone from doing any trading activities, in order to keep their assets safe and even maybe went on hiatus from digital assets bussiness while waiting for the bullish days to be back. They don't want to sell their assets in low price, but the act of not doing any trading is logically also has impact in general. At least, it is contributing on slower the trading traffic.

In your opinion, which one is the worse way among the two?

The worst among the two? Then its clear that panic selling is the worst yet losses cant really be turned back once your assets had been sold out in the market unlike on that
postponing from trading where you do still holding up with your coins.It cant still be considered as loss as long you arent selling those since it do still have the chance of recovery even though it is on
negative floating but atleast the chance of recovery is still there.

Yes because if we will sell our coin at panic it will be full of lose by our own hands so panic selling is worst according to me, as clear it is if you buy something to make money and then suddenly price falls more than the price you bought it, so selling at that price is really foolish decision and infect you know price will rise very soon, so in such situation you should hold with patience.

[guoyu78]

I think panic selling is the worst way Because this movement puts the investor in harm and destroys his profits. In such cases, panic selling should never be done 2. way much more profitable and reliable. Just follow the market and don't take any action. When you are sure then do it.

Both of them are worst from the point of view of a potential investor. I think that one should be not go for panic selling when the price is falling. The market is very much exposed to fluctuation. Those people who loose value in recession gain values again in boom. About postponing, I would say that there should be no good byes to the technology. This is worth investing in and can be extremely instrumental in future to maximize your value.

By far panic selling is the worse of the two options, the ones that delay selling their coins at least are taking more time to try to consider their options and during that time they can make a better choice, those that panic sell are not really thinking, they are just reacting emotionally to what is happening in the market and that is never a good thing.

[barbara44]

Yes, better to let go trading than to trade in a state of chaos but never let go the coins. Just stop and do not trade your coins if the price is low or the trading volume is falling sharply due to loss in value. Better hodl, for hodling is one way to avoid loss but not trading until the price is up and high again. Many people do that so you can also go with the same strategy.

[arifteguhr]

I was better off as delaying trade rather than selling panic because it could avoid losses, because there were already many panicked sellers who eventually suffered losses because they did not believe that the market would rise again
