Starting to trade crypto can be a massive learning curve. Whether you’re an experienced trader or a newbie, crypto trading can seem hugely complicated and it’s super easy to mess up in the beginning. Luckily, there’s a lot of information out there that can help you become the crypto trader of your dreams. We’ve compiled a list of the 5 mistakes every crypto trader should avoid, so keep reading to learn the dos and don’ts of crypto trading in 2019. Stop loss/take profit placementIf we’ve said this once, we’ve said this a thousand times – never ever enter a position before placing a stop loss and take profit order. Find an exchange that offers leverage trading, and learn how to position your orders. Arguably, the most crucial thing is to learn to spot liquidity pools, so you can identify the resistance and support levels. Only then should you place your orders, just above and below those levels, so you can be sure not to miss out. This is vital to crypto trading to ensure that you don’t get rekt. Seriously, set your stop loss and profit orders. Always avoid overtrading While it might be super tempting to manually close all of your positions when you see that you’ve made a profit or a loss, the best strategy is always going to be to keep your initial position and place your trust in your stop loss/take profit orders. Don’t check your positions all the time. Trust your strategies to do the work. DiversificationSure diversification is a good thing, but everything in moderation right? The cryptocurrency market is pretty volatile, so be careful spreading yourself too thin over altcoins with small market caps, instead of focusing on a few larger coins. Always do extensive research before trading in any altcoins (if you’re really not sure, top traders recommend sticking to small amounts of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and/or Litecoin to start). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtI0YDBPU5MPutting too much money in too soonMost of us start with pretty humble beginnings as traders, and that’s totally fine. However, trading above your means is one of the top rookie errors that a new trader can make. Emptying out your savings, or even taking a loan (Yes, people do this), is just a bad idea. Nobody is immune to making mistakes, and even professional crypto traders can be subject to losses. Even if you think you’ve done enough research, making too risky moves that could cost you a lot in the early days, is just not a good idea. Rather trade with smaller amounts, build your way up slowly and minimize the consequences. FOMOWe think that the top mistake, out of the 5 mistakes that every crypto trader should avoid, is giving into FOMO (the fear of missing out). New crypto traders are particularly susceptible to this, however even the most experienced trader can fall prey to it. Whether it’s in situations where you sell an asset too early because you’re afraid of making a loss, or even buying into sketchy projects just because somebody you know deemed it as the next great project, FOMO is never good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dasfUZXrMqQLuckily, you can resist it. Have patience, follow your strategy, and only trade with coins that you know are reliable, with money that you have. The key to trading cryptoNow that we’ve had a chance to take a look at the 5 mistakes every crypto trader should avoid, we have to ask ourselves: What exactly is the key to trading crypto? That’s pretty simple: Patience. Don’t be afraid that you’re going to miss out on the next big thing. The crypto market is constantly growing and changing and there’s more than enough investment and trade to go around for everyone. Don’t invest in altcoins that you aren’t sure about, don’t give into FOMO, and don’t trade above your means. If you want a fantastic resource for crypto trading, check out eToro. It’s a social trading platform that allows for easy and safe crypto trading.

Now that we’ve had a chance to take a look at the 5 mistakes every crypto trader should avoid, we have to ask ourselves: What exactly is the key to trading crypto?
That’s pretty simple: Patience. Don’t be afraid that you’re going to miss out on the next big thing. The crypto market is constantly growing and changing and there’s more than enough investment and trade to go around for everyone. Don’t invest in altcoins that you aren’t sure about, don’t give into FOMO, and don’t trade above your means.
The one thing that most beginner traders fail to understand is this. Sadly, saying it and truly understanding it are two different things since I also came from that time after all. One professor of mine in the past taught me this, since well, he was also pretty impatient. To practice overcoming your impatience, try doing a hobby of sorts that require meticulous work. Like the one that with just one touch, everything goes haywire kind of thing. His hobby was building Gundam models and honestly, it was quite inspiring since I never taught of hobbies like that as something that could help me as a person. Once I taught about what he said, it dawned on me that it really is true. Patience stems from you being able to endure, being able to adapt, and being able to wait for the result caused by the end, you would see something wonderful that was made by your own hands. Trading could be said the same but waiting could be said to take the majority of it, but there's also the studying part and analyzing part also so its kind of similar.

This fear of missing out (FOMO) is part of the reason that traders lose because most times, it is wrong timing for you. But you can't learn from it if you have not been a longtime trader who has built emotions on trade over time. You must be good at controlling your emotion on trade before you can avoid FOMO. Nice thread from OP.

About diversification: Diversifying your crypto-investments in form of other cryptocurrency, is no diversification at all. This market is strongly entangled with bitcoin alone, if the king goes down, so must the others and we saw that multiple times. "Investor" should be a way of thinking for all possible spectrums. Have some of this and some of that, just in case. If anyone bother about my opinion, I say focus on bitcoin and it's counterpart that is gold, litecoin and silver and so on. This is real diversification and only this way you are somewhat securing semi-stable future for yourself.

Such problems have often been discussed, everyone has a different opinion, and every trader has a different trading style, there are many mistakes in trading, especially beginners, they force themselves to enter the market while they do not understand the state of the market, they are very enthusiastic to get profits while not learning the right analysis, and many more mistakes made, especially by beginners.

Thank you for sharing information about mistakes every crypto trader should avoid. I will also add a little, that is using trading capital from loan. This will be very dangerous if we lose then we will have trouble in paying the debt. The next is greed, this is also a thing that must be avoided because it can make us become losers. And the last one following trading signals, this can make us look stupid. Because by following trading signals our knowledge will not increase and we will not get anything.

Very nice thread a big help and the good thing even i know this already i still learn from your post. I will state some other factors. The emotional side of a trader more than a fomo. Emotion is our big enemy in trading we actually don't have to set aside it but we need to make it balance in a way that the time when we are about to enter a trade. This is always my problem in the past that i can't control the tendency even i make profit after that i will make a bad decision to enter a trade again where your other point is there the over trading.

All of these are correct and a good guide when I was active in trading I lost because of FOMO, I lose a lot of money because of this and one of the reason why I prefer to just pick the right coin coin or those coins that are more stable, then hodl it for future profit, there's so much time involve in trading full time, but if you are the one who can allocate time,money and effort trading is a good stuff to learn.

That’s pretty simple: Patience. Don’t be afraid that you’re going to miss out on the next big thing. The crypto market is constantly growing and changing and there’s more than enough investment and trade to go around for everyone. Don’t invest in altcoins that you aren’t sure about, don’t give into FOMO, and don’t trade above your means.
Patience is the very key attribute a trader should have, the volatility of the coins, the market price, the unpredictable movements of chart, issues m, bullish and bearish trends are surely going to test a trader's patience. Although having knowledge is also essential, being someone who has knowledge alone but doesn't have enough patience could still result to losing and unsuccessful in trading. The need to make a very solid decision once they entered trading isn't possible without long patience.

Your capital is at risk.https://www.etoro.com/blog/market-insights/5-mistakes-every-crypto-trader-should-avoid/I think a very important concept pretty dear to my heart which you really forgot is Risk Management. I consider 80% of success in Trading comes with Risk Management. If you can limit the amount of risk in every trade to maximize your return. You just don't need any guidance in selecting your trades. Because if you are trading even with a 60% win strategy a good risk management technique can increase the returns upto 80% because it teaches you how to earn greater from the trades you win and lose less from trades you lose by setting a favourable Risk to Reward Ratio. Let's consider an example to understand this. Case 1: 60% win ratio with 1:2 Risk RewardYou take a Risk to Reward Ration of 1:2 which means you Buy at 9000 and set your target at 9200 but keep your Stop Loss at 8900. Which means maximum loss is $100 but max profit is $200. Now if you keep this ratio over a period of say 100 Trades. Now Assuming you get profitable in 60 trades which means you earn 60x200 which is $12000 and you lose 40x100 which means $4000. Your net gain still is $8000. Case 2: 80% win ratio with 1:2 Risk RewardYou take a Risk to Reward Ration of 1:2 which means you Buy at 9000 and set your target at 9100 but keep your Stop Loss at 8800. Which means maximum loss is $200 but max profit is $100. Now if you keep this ratio over a period of say 100 Trades. Now Assuming you get profitable in 80 trades which means you earn 80x100 which is $8000 and you lose 20x200 which means $4000. Your net gain still is just $4000 with a better strategy.
This is why people say that it's better to have a better Risk Management strategy.

This. All the cryptocurrencies are highly correlelated. If you want to diversify your investments, buy property or hold bonds - those things are not correlated with cryptocurrency/bitcoin.

To buy a property and bold why the traders need to be here dude. If wanna stay stronger in trading field you must need to learn the strategies from the experienced traders and go the investment step by step to increase the profit and learn all the basics.

All of OP stated was right and a good trader we should simply avoid that and also avoid possible losses. Probably OP you must add this, the greed. Through this, you have a chance to stay away on overtrading and also chasing you lose. Nevertheless, overall was helpful thought and as a trader, they should know regarding this matter.

Before, I was very excited to trade. Just when i thought I gain the knowledge and was prepared for trading I have realized these thing that was my mistakes when I am kinda new before.
-Overconfidence -Don't know the right entry and exit point -Not relying on my own TA -Not setting stop loss
Our mistakes tend to become our lesson to improve more in trading. Also, there is always FOMO but I have managed to control my emotions now unlike before, panicking and regrets will not help to have a healthy trades.

Diversification's not entirely needed if you're only talking about it in regards to doing so in cryptocurrency as well. Many people have done extremely well investing only in Bitcoin and holding and/or trading only Bitcoin, and a lot of alts end up going nowhere as well, even sometimes despite having a good project.
Doing your own TA is also an extremely good idea, especially initially. You're never really going to learn if you only use other peoples' work or copy other peoples' trades, and you have to start somewhere. It's tempting to just copy other peoples' trades like you can do on a site like eToro, but you really gain nothing from that.
A lot of people also rely too much on one or two indicators or end up trading with no plan to minimize risks. Risk management's extremely important because you can have a very high winning trade percentage rate but still lose a significant amount of money on just one or two failed trades. You should also take risk into account when making individual trades as well, because a lot of traders, even more experienced ones, take a significant amount of risk for just a tiny reward.

FOMO and overtrading are the most common mistakes for new traders. I know that they have a market understanding and trading ideas before they take the risk but what makes them difficult is how to control their emotion bringing them into FOMO. We can't simply escape from that emotional stress cause they are still the adoption process, it will take days, weeks or even months to adjust.
But thinking of why we should avoid diversification? It is just an option for traders, it sometimes gives a positive result and it also saves some of our funds. You'll probably be losing if using this one but it is all about to sacrifice for the sake that we never lose everything we had, but a way to start over again.

Of all the 5 things you mentioned, FOMO is the mistake that even seasoned trader cant avoid. Our worst enemy in trading is emotion. That is why there are those who just use bots to trade so that no matter what news come out the press even if it is negative or positive, the bot will not react and just follow the settings.

I like the item 2 - don't know the right entry and exit point. This is actually hard when you are trading cryptocurrencies. You can't really tell the exact points but you will have idea if you are closely following the coin. This will also minimize your losses in case the coin is heading to its dying stage. This is I think one of the difficult situations that I always encounter during trading.

Of all the 5 things you mentioned, FOMO is the mistake that even seasoned trader cant avoid. Our worst enemy in trading is emotion. That is why there are those who just use bots to trade so that no matter what news come out the press even if it is negative or positive, the bot will not react and just follow the settings.
BOT still has its own risks if you use it because if there is a security problem, it is possible to lose money when investing. For me you should only trade normally or invest in long-term to earn good profits because this market still has a lot of opportunities for everyone. Emotions can affect the psychology of investors but if you can control that, you will be easier to succeed when trading. I personally do not trust any FOMO or FUD news because if I read it I will definitely make the wrong decisions and affect my profits. The best solution is still to analyze this market and make your own decisions.

FOMO and overtrading are the most common mistakes for new traders. I know that they have a market understanding and trading ideas before they take the risk but what makes them difficult is how to control their emotion bringing them into FOMO. We can't simply escape from that emotional stress cause they are still the adoption process, it will take days, weeks or even months to adjust.
But thinking of why we should avoid diversification? It is just an option for traders, it sometimes gives a positive result and it also saves some of our funds. You'll probably be losing if using this one but it is all about to sacrifice for the sake that we never lose everything we had, but a way to start over again.
Emotions and experienced will able you overtake FOMOS and over-trading. With good skills and having working system to plan ahead of time. Your experience will guide you up to avoid making big mistakes and over-calculate the situations, many traders failed to anticipate because emotions take over them, but if you have the right attitude and you already learned from your past trades you can control taking any quick actions without any good assessments.
