Buying low selling high ain't always successful

[japbinca]

If you really think that you make a profit from price spreads on exchanges, it's really wrong.
There are a lot of trading pairs on exchanges, except for the highly liquid currencies, most of which are automatically traded by bots. For example, the difference of the A / B trading pair is 5pip, if you place the bid close to the price it will have the bot pushing the price up.

as we already know that investing in the short term or long term does not always guarantee profits for you. in this case I will only conclude that if you want to play with crypto then you must be prepared to take risks and also always monitor the assets that you have so as not to lose the opportunity to sell.

Buying the dip has its bad side and that's unable to predict market movement You buy the dip, it goes dipper. You buy the high, it goes dipper, you convert to usdt, it starts surging ....I quit buying low selling high for now

Of course it does not always successful because sometimes the dip continues even the market started to grow and that is the risk of investing.
no one can tell us which are pumping and which to dump so there is noway we can find the best to invest.

not unless we are making our own research and studies ,become knowledgeable and then success will be yours but as long as you are only relying in which is falling?the risk is always there.

Yes buying the low and selling high doesn't always go well. You may follow the market trend and buy a coin, only for the coin to begin to go dipper. A lot of traders have been caught severally in this trend. So it's not always an easy task to buy low and sell high

First, I think at this point in the crypto space, doing such might not really work out as the market is influenced by many things of which one is panic, all caused by the current virus still spreading fast. Also, doing such or reading charts now requires high level of expertise and patience so as to do the right although there might be few lapses. Therefore, for someone who don't know how to read charts, it better to stick to long term coins like Bitcoin or USDT so you can be calm.

[Eugenar]

Well, that is the nature of the bitcoin or the market, we cannot predict the movement of the market so it is really hard for us to win on trading method unless we have so much knowledge and skills that we may use when we do trading.

But for me, buying low and selling when its high is really a good thing, there is no problem that I can see with that because it is really a good earning strategy, it is a really sure that you may make money if you do that, there is no problem if you buy bitcoin with low price then it still goes down because you may not lose from doing that, you only need to wait for the price to gets high again so you may earn money if you sell it to others.

This time has been one hell of a time, predictions seem not to work,or sometimes one fundamental analysis will just disrupt the way technical analysis has been plotted, this period has indeed been full with instability, I think this isn't the time for trading especially as it concerns newbies. Just look for a good point,buy your coins and hold and then wait for moon.

Buying low and selling high can often come off as a myth. Because this is a strategy that is very difficult to pull off for the average trader.
The reason lies in the reality of the cryptocurrency market which is highly volatile and unpredictable.
So its best to do some day trading or bot trading to make profits

Not only often, I would say, but even almost all the time. The only time I have ever successfully bought high and sold low is in computer games but even then, only on low difficulty for economic games like Patrician;)

Average traders know the concept, but they don't realize the market doesn't move at all like they expect!

Well, buying low and selling high is a basic knowledge when we want to make a lot of profit through investing but this basic answer contains a complex series of processes when what we're predicting is a whole market, special customer needs and market information, which are the factors that can come at any time, so failure is quite often with low buying and high selling. But remember that it is a failure in prediction and it is temporary, at a certain time, we will succeed, predictions are hard to instant success, low buying and high selling take time to succeed

It depends on the cryptocurrency you have invested in. There are times wherein the market prices are low but not all cryptos would be able to go along with the price increase when such thing happen, only those who are 'strong' enough would get through so you better choose the best crypto in order to make profit from buying low selling at high peaks. Also, since the recovery times cannot be predicted, there will be instances wherein profit would be dull, but patience is the only answer with regards to this.

This time has been one hell of a time, predictions seem not to work,or sometimes one fundamental analysis will just disrupt the way technical analysis has been plotted, this period has indeed been full with instability, I think this isn't the time for trading especially as it concerns newbies. Just look for a good point,buy your coins and hold and then wait for moon.

This is the reason why holding is more advisable than investing at this moment. No one knows when will the market increase and no one knows what coins would be profitable to invest when that period come to existence. But investing is not a bad thing still. If you are that eager to take the risk and proper someday, you better choose the best investment at this moment. I would say Bitcoin is pretty a good shot to try, its price is still low, giving opportunity to investors.

You just have to keep trying and master the trade. You don't win by quitting. You can always win every trade but you should win more to make profit. The market sometimes behave funny , and you should not trade everytime. Follow these steps and you will get back on track.

[Jannyh]

It's not that easy buying low and selling high,but then,you could keep trying,when you buy low,you sell high,the next time you want to buy,the price must have gone up,so this time around,your buying low would get you less amount of the token you bought earlier,them you sell higher,buy so doing,you increase the satoshi or dollar value if your capital

If you are not a quitter then trying your best to learn the right strategy in order to win against the market, buying low and selling high depends from how your timing will take place, you can earned from this strategy once you understand the market behaviors the more you engaged yourself the more you'll be able to catch the right position for both buying and selling targets.

[Kelvinid]

Maybe it doesn't work for you but it is really different from me and it was meant to be good all the time. I don't know how you work on it or you are just impatient and can't wait for the market to recover.

I believe and I know that the life of a trader isn't really easy but I don't think that this basic and genuine strategy is not effective. In fact, a lot of people are using this one because they believe that it works. Anyway, no matter what strategy that you are using if you are not passionate about using that one, it is simply you'll be ended nothing.

[Inosend]

It's really easy to say but executing that very desire is harder than you could ever imagine I remember when I venture into this space earlier 2016 my mentor then was always giving signal and then he said buy low and sell high but I always buy low and sell lower lol

when buying cheap and selling at high prices then you must use the long-term trading method because if you use the short-term trading method it will not be possible, for long-term trading at least you should be able to control patience which in my opinion is the main factor to be able to get profit.

[Slingshot]

It has been working for me anyway but not always . It's good for one to monitor market before failing victims and it's best to take your profits without being greedy. You can sell and set order to buy at dip just relax and give it sometimes than selling and buying immidiately. Trading requires patience and wiseness. Know when to join and when to wait till price drops. Every projects pumps.and goes up, you can buy and sell and buy from another project that dipped . But truth is its never an easy thing and not always successful.

Well your so called "Mentor" was a scammer then. No hard feelings but you cannot trust anybody in this sector unless the person is known to you in real life or a close relative. Because there are scammers everywhere crypto being a non regulated asset class.

We have seen so many scammers use signals groups to scam newbies and there is nothing that can be done legally against them. Because they didnt force you to trade, you did so on your free will. It is better to do your own research and make decisions based on that. Getting rich does not happen by someone telling you how to get rich.

[Genemind]

This happens usually since no one can really predict what will be the deepest dip and what would be the peak. However, if you are buying the dip and aiming for a long-term hold, such loss can be avoided. This is sustainable if you are rich and has excess money for investment. The market is indeed omplicated, that is also the reason why it is profitable.

[lousie9]

You need to reconsider before doing this, I mean when the price is high then you sell as soon as possible because the opportunity does not come 2 times unless you hold or trade BTC then you don't need to worry when you see the price go down. It is important to always remember that if you trade, to always monitor the assets you are trading so as not to lose the moment to sell.

[istiak2277]

it will only work when the market is stable and it stays between in a range. It is a very good and effective strategy though you can not use this strategy in such a market condition when the market is moving only one direction. But still, its the best way to make money but you need to predict the market right. People just buy high and sell low in fear to lose the best entry.
