Selling strategy

[hatshepsut93]

People talk about investing in Bitcoin all the time, and by investing they mean buying, but selling is another part of investing, and just as important one. There are many strategies for buying, like buying dips, cost-averaging, buying once in few years and so on - but what about selling?

What's a good selling strategy that maximizes profits and minimizes risks? How to sell as close to ATH as possible?

Its inevitable that when you do trade, selling is another significant part

What I usually do is check on Technicals, one I mostly use is RSI

when it losses strength I go sell

Mostly we need luck to sell at the most possible all time high but my strategy it to sell after a huge bump on the price but many times the prices will bump even more after I sold it but still get satisfied with what I made and that is important think for a trader as well.

minimizing risk depends on your preference---minimizing fiat losses vs coin losses. erring on the side of caution to preserve fiat capital often means losing coins. personally, i'm more worried about losing coins.

it's impossible to know where the top of the bubble will be. from my perspective, the best you can do is take some profit off the table (i never sell everything) during the bubble, knowing that there will probably always be a painful bear market that follows. it seems sensible to start setting some sells at 5x-10x the previous ATH and going from there......

I depend on my target value most of the times when I will put specific percentage of profit before buying a coins or tokens so it mean I don’t really rely on the ATH thing because for me the more you desired higher profit is the higher the risk put on it also,so in some occasions people become greedy also by expecting higher income

So for us to have enough but winnable strategy,then put the selling target the moment you decide to buy

You can take the risk of selling when the price of bitcoin reach all time high, but the down side of it, is that you need to acquire bitcoin again due to the fact that it'll rise further. So, you're set to buy again at a price that is only slightly lower than the selling price which might not happen since the price is going up. Thus, what is the point of selling them. Why not hold them.

the least risky strategy to sell in order to maximize the profit is to sell inside bubbles, the bigger the bubble the lower the risk. for example the bubble of 2 years ago at $20k was the excellent time to sell. the problem is in detecting the bubbles.

it is hard but there are many indicators for them. the obvious one is the fast rise in the shortest amount of time. if you look at the 2017 bubble, the rise from $10k to $20k took less than a month. and a 100% rise in such a short time after a whole year of bull runs is a guaranteed bubble. the "after" part is important because there are other times that we have nearly the same rise (like this year) but since it is not after any bull run and it is instead after a huge bear market and a gigantic drop, the 100%+ rise is considered small!

the choice of the "number" you sell at is also hard too. this is where lack of greed can help a lot. greedy people keep waiting for more profit no matter how much profit they are in. but someone who is putting his greed aside can make better decisions. take a certain % profit and be satisfied with that.

also just like buying, selling doesn't have to be a one time thing with all the coins in one order pressing the big red button saying "dump". it can be incremental too.

You can never predict the all time high so don't beat yourself about it when you continue to hold as the price drops.  All depends on your risk tolerance I guess.  It can be a high mental barrier to sell something you have been holding for many years.

yes, indeed we will not be able to predict what the highest price is and when it will happen, buy and sell hold back for the next few years it depends on each of us, everyone must have different desires, some want to invest in the term short and some want to invest in the long term, so to sell or buy, of course, everyone has a different time and method.

Normally, people do not care about the selling part because there is two type of selling compared to millions of ways of buying. If you buy from the right price then there is no way you can lose money, you may profit less or you may profit more but as long as you buy from the bottom there is no losing in this scenario. However selling is just two type, you either sell when it goes down and make a loss which nobody supports but in itself it evolves into two types where you either sell and make a loss but buy even lower and drop the average down or you just sell and leave which is the worst one.

The other one is selling during profit era, you bought cheap, now bitcoin is up and you are considering selling, well there is no wrong there, you can sell whenever you want, you can sell now or later or whatever and the result will be same= profit.

Selling part of trading is crucial and it should be planned very well too. Aiming for a high profits before selling is dangerous because your target price maybe too high and before you know it, price starts to go down and you ended up holding a bag of coin with a price that will take 2 to 3 weeks to reach.

In simple terms, you can't time the market

Which basically means you should not be so much pursuing all time highs but rather your required profit numbers. You can just set a certain percentage of gained profits after which you start selling. But that doesn't mean that you should sell all your stash at once as you can't time the market (it's definitely worth repeating). In this way, you can come as close to an ATH as possible and still have something to sell if the price beats all your expectations

for a good sales strategy is when we get a price up 30% above the purchase price. because we can make it with 30% as a substitute for time and all things related to profit. it is a percentage of the minimum profit in sales.

The selling strategies is to be properly known by every trader that is the first and foremost thing needed for every trader to get success in their trading time but most of the people had no strategy about buying and selling without going any e strategy is not been successful in all the time.

You just Sell thesame way you Buy as a day trader.  that is, buy all the important dips and sell all the important highs. ATH doesn't matter much in this case. Profitable highs are what is important.

That sounds like me, I hodled through the last ATH, even though I started entering Bitcoin at $450, and even to this day I hodl because I want to sell at the top, but I want to be less greedy from now on and sell continuously. So, after reading your post I've decided that I will begin selling after the chart will start going parabolic after a good amount of time inside the bull market, and I'll be checking technical indicators that can signal that Bitcoin is significantly overbought, like those rainbow charts.

Maybe at 30% could be sustainable if you go for faster returns of investments, but if the strategy is to expect more gains I do prefer much higher and wait until such time it could take further towards 100% increase. For now it might be not possible yet, but somehow if you do have lots of patience, someday it can be achievable if stay strong and motivated.

   Perfect Selig strategy would be learning all coin's moves from the most beginning and set a price target for our investment. Let's call it exit point, the number which will satisfy your needs and will not be impossible to achieve.

Selling is an art in itself, and I believe it depends on the person. God knows I really tried to learn day/swing trading, but I always end up losing. I had to do it some other way.

Now, I buy the dip and HODL. Selling strategy, 6 digits.

[samuraijin]

I think it's difficult to reduce the level of risk, we know a lot of risks in every trade, I just follow a trend where I have to buy and sell, usually from what I see on YouTube, I learn trends from the MACD indicator, I think you might be looking for a lot sales strategy out there
