How do you trade? At the exchange? Platform? Bots?

[Bugatti73]

Wow.
I voted and then shocked at the results.
I didnt know a lot of users here are the same as me.
Yes, I do it manually. The hardcore manual trading.
Monitoring every 30 minutes and then selling when I am happy with the profit.
I tend to get greedy at some point but $100 and I am fine to take it.
Let it marinade again then buy back. Or? I would be trading using another coin.

What is the best exchange for you to make marginal trading?

[leowonderful]

I do a little bit of everything. I hold the majority of my coins in a cold wallet and I only use that wallet a few times a year, while I trade manually on leveraged sites like Bitmex with a small percentage of my funds and using bots that I've manually tweaked and continue to tweak pretty often. I'm pretty active on Bitmex and they offer TradingView integration with their site, which is nice, but I still do most of my analysis and charting directly on TradingView because it's just much more convenient than working with a small window in a browser. I've never personally coded a bot myself, but I've made plenty of strategies that are mostly nonviable with a few great exceptions.

I do trading on my own and manually, when I have some liquidity in my economic status I can afford to leave some money for the trade, sometimes I trade in Bitmex which I operate whenever I see opportunity in the settlements that the Exchange does , from there I make decisions, since most are operated by bots. And I usually trade when in my analysis I have several confirmations about which is the line of least resistance and there I enter.

Trade on my own.
I have made some profits out of it even before. But I dont make it longer like some who makes rule like months before they check again.
Yes, there might be some who made some good adjustment with their price after I sell but I dont regret it as long as profit had been made and exchanged it with bitcoin in a rush.

I think that people who trade and hold their positions for more than a month are already more holders than traders. It seems to me that the trader should put a stop loss and go to sleep.

Bots have some advantage as it helps to decide their own but of course, It feels better when we do trading manually and we can apply our strategies as well as TA's. But even with a hectic schedule of my job but I can manage to do trading in a while without using bots. But it sometimes I've realize that it could be me more profitable and less stress if I have this thing. I hope it looks good and everything will be fine.

Hey!

Do you ever wonder how many traders roam around the Trading Discussion section?

Let's help clear that out with a quick vote!

Feel free to tell your trading story too!

I am not a regular trader since I am holding the cryptos ever since I realized it is not another bubble but when I trade I go to the exchange and trade manually,no bots no other influence for me to make me trade.I will only do trades when I feel its time to make some game with altcoins and make more bitcoin.

Personally, I believe that the future, or if you want the present, is controlled by bots. And to be afloat, and show maximum productivity, it is worth paying attention to them and at least find application.
Everyone who trades through well-tuned bots saves a huge amount of time and money because the bot's reaction compensates for the human reaction.

That is the advantage of using bots in trading especially when you have a stable job and just considering a part-time in trading. But we can't just fully rely on them cause it is much better to do manual trading if we have time. Bots have their own decision base on a trading signal when to buy and sell, but not apparently it has TA's that could help to become more profitable.

I'm actually in trading( sometimes), but I'd never try using bots cause I feel safe when I did it manually besides, in doing our own strategy we are also learning and improving ourself confidence towards the market and as well as in trading.

[MI6]

I don't have skills to make bot or anything like that because don't have experience about it. Maybe i vote like a lot of people here because i do manually make my order like what traders do. With that i think i am more careful when placing orders because it will be bad if i sell my coins in very cheap price if wrong to put amount of price.

Yeah right, trading with bots only destroys our skills to analyze. For me it's okay to trade with bots, as long as we understand market and if we can make algorithm. I also realize that all trading with bots is not good because it can suck balance when market changes very quickly. If @OP is a beginner it is better to understand market first and vice versa if @OP already understand market well then please use bot with strategies owned.

Though I voted for hodling in this poll I prefer to trade on exchanges especially binance. I am always outside so I prefer to trade using my mobile phone and binance's mobile app really help me alot when I am trading. I just trade when the market is uptrend and do the usual buy low sell high strategy. I've studied before how to read the charts thinking if I could go full-time but I fail.

Since the time bitcoin has regularised as illegal currency in my country we have no options to trade over exchangers. As any money that is withdrawn from exchanger to directly banks will be considered as illegal way of income source.

This is terrific when it comes to the Tax filing.

So the time has come my people are now using only local trading sites like LocalBitcoins.

Most of the times it is hard to trade on it because  . .

I need time to buy from a seller with lower prices. Then hold those BTC's and then wait for the boom to occurs. This follows with wait period where prices need to be hiked and find someone buying at that price. Thus initiating selling phase and complete the profit cycle.

Slower way of trading but worth doing it.

I trade by manually at the exchange. I don't think I can set the bots to run as what I want, and I think I feel difficult to use the bot. Besides that, I think with using the bot will not help me to improve my skills, so I don't use the bot. Besides trade manually, I am also a holding some coins from a long time ago, and I still waiting for the coin to gets up and reach the high price. I hope that the bull run will come soon so I can make a bigger profit again.

But why dont you try some platforms to use tools like trailing, averaging, multiple take profits and SL at same time and etc? I mean there are tons of such a platforms. The one i am using costs 15$ per month.
Just wondering, if thats alot for you or you like suffering?)

Currently, I'm trading on quite new CFD platform CEX.Broker, https://cexbro.com/. Being a user of CEX for more than 2 years, I've got used to it, as it is very convenient. Therefore when I saw the news about the launch of a new trading platform, I was intrigued immediately. Now, as I mentioned before, I'm testing it, and haven't identified any serious issues yet.

There is something we could have a try and gladly you're in the platform that never gives any troubles. Knowing the fact that most newly created platforms meant not to be trusted or they look shady. This make traders not really  interested with them and they are preferred to the old ones. 
Nothing wrong to try new one if we have a lot of money that we are willing to risk and lost. Cause we can't justify of we don't give a shot.

[Not_A_Rocket_Scientist]

I trade with bots and write a blog about the performance and results. Check out my last report if interested: https://tradingbot.info/results/bitsgap-bot-is-making-me-profit-again/

It is the 2nd month already that I am using the bot for trading. What can I say, trading bots are the tools that also should be monitored and adjusted. I have tried to let it work on its own, but the results were not that great.

Yes, I'm that kind of person. Because I don't have enough money to take courses, I am still a student and so I learn from experience by referring to the trading strategies of good people.
I have not made many transactions yet, but I often suffer losses because I believe in the strategies of others. I think I need to have my own strategy to have my own experience. how do you see? Please advise me.

Though you are right with bot it won't enhance your skills in properly anticipating the market directions, it can in terms of positioning your entry or exit position the problem is if the target ain't being hit, the bot will not do anything unlike with manually executed trades you are in control to place yourself and you can adjust every time you see open opportunities or if it's in need of cutting your loses.

You need to have wider knowledge to perform the right thing while dealing with trading activities.
