Popular Investing Strategies for Beginners

[maydna]

~snip~

I think a strategy like that has been used by many people, it's just that we don't know when the price of the coin has increased by more than 2x the price when buying a coin for the first time, so many people can't wait for the right moment so I think maybe you can buy coins that have opportunities to go up and have high demand so you can apply the method like you mentioned.

Perhaps, after we have that coin, we can place an order sell at the 2x the price, so we don't miss the chance to sell at a high price. Sometimes, I used that way to prevent the increase of the price without I know, and sometimes, the order sell that I place can be filled without I realize

But many of us become greedy not to sell the coin after it increases because they want to wait for another high price. That will make them lose the chance to sell at a good price.

Keep buying on dips and as I am a long term investors so whenever require some money and price is looking good so book my profits. This give me profits as well and an opportunity to buy on dips too. Well, for short term traders if one is not greedy and knows that at certain price need to sell it then should be selling without much though and book profits.
Else in the end they may regret if price falls and then need money to cannot hold for longer term.

That is good, so I guess you are not afraid of the volatility of the price that always happens in the market. As long as we can see the opportunity to sell at a good price, we will make a profit, and we can wait for other dips in the price. Trading for the short term is good, as long as we can analyze which coin can increase in the short term.

I find the article helpful though the words might be too much for a newbie but they have to conquer it because more technical terms can be learned along the road, this is a great beginning if you have some strategies to start with.

A serious newbie will soon catch up the phase. It's better for them to read those technical terms while they are learning compare to basic guides on other articles that just want to make a traffic. In the article shared by OP, we have seen the effort they made to help newbies.

If newbies found the article shared by OP as boring, then investment related to crypto are not appropriate to them.

They should understand that there's no easy path to success.

I want to focus on what you said about there is no easy path to success, a lot of newbies are entering the cryptocurrency market because of only one reason and it is profit. This is the reason why they are losing in the beginning of their investing journey because they are thinking quick rich mentality. For those newbies out there, their focus should be on developing their own skills and their own knowledge. The blog that the OP shared will be really helpful because there are terms there where the newbies can be aware on what is is and they can familiarize it to know in order for them to use it in their future decisions. 

The risk management in the last part of the blog are the most important thing and for those who are reading the post in these thread try to look it because there are share information their about portfolio allocation and also the stop loss strategies.

Your article is good but seem like it will be hard to understand for beginner, there are a lot of term that can't be understood easily. My strategy when I choose a coin for my investment place I always look how its price movement in a few weeks ago. I'll find if there is a big candle red/green on the chart I'll avoid it especially it is a new coin that just listed on the exchange. Second, I only choose short term investment in altcoin, yeah I never hold an altcoin over five months. I'll send them if I got profit that I targetted. Third, I choose a coin that has many event and has a strong fundamental like a few months ago when ADA will upgrade its system.

As for me, I buy some coin or token that has a good rank in the market and store it in the wallet, it is possible that I stacking about 70% of my currencies and the rest I trade in it within the same wallet or within one of the trusted exchanges. In this case, the value of the coins may rise while they are in the wallet, and if their value decreases, I buy more of these coins and increase the quantity, and so I benefit from storage and trading as well.
Of course, you may face some difficulties, as the price of the coin can drop dramatically, in which case you have to hold the coin in the wallet for a long time and you have to be patient.

Honestly, this is the first time I heard the name of those strategies since the first strategy that I’ve learned is that, I have to buy low and sell high but the article is indeed helpful.

Beginners have to do their full effort to create their first strategy especially if you are planning to trade, this is a long process and not easy to learn but taking small steps at a time can make you different tomorrow.

“To buy cheap (low) and sell high” is a merchant strategy, and it does not always work for the crypto market. Actually, I still collect the information about all possible ways to make few mistakes and make more money. I guess knowledge is the basics of each business.

“To buy cheap (low) and sell high” is a merchant strategy, and it does not always work for the crypto market.

I am sorry I couldn't get you. Why buying low and selling high will not work in crypto markets? Then what will work in crypto markets? As far as I am concerned crypto market is no different from any other markets as all technical and fundamental analysis are exactly and compatible with crypto markets as well. Probably you are missing something and that is the reason you completely sounding opposite of what is the basic nature of crypto markets.

I still collect the information about all possible ways to make few mistakes and make more money. I guess knowledge is the basics of each business.

When you are very good at your knowledge then you may completely avoid all your mistakes. But, when you are gaining all the knowledge then you might have experienced all types of markets conditions as well. I mean just knowledge from books or video tutorials will not help any trader but you must have practical knowledge to get a sustaining income stream from crypto markets.

[ChrisPop]

A good article for beginners. Well documented and outlined especially for beginners. Although I wouldn't recommend newbies getting with a lot of "weight" into altcoins, but instead start with a Bitcoin-based portfolio.
What I haven't noticed on your article from a quick read are some kind of track record of these strategies. Maybe it would be useful to see which one of them is the most effective although is a very subjective decision as one can choose other assets and other means of analysis/research.

[Yatsan]

It is a really pretty good article for the beginners in trading to read with for the fact that informations are properly organized and easily understandable that would be easy for the beginners in trading to follow. Such information is really essential thing to be known by beginners and for those people who are already being interested and thinking to get engage into crypto trading. The informations stated in the article is very useful most specially we are working in a volatile market wherein if compared to the stock market is a lot more risky to be with so taking lucks and chances will not be a great option to start with. Crypto trading and investment must start up on learning the basics to lessen the risks associated on the market we are currently with.

[Oceat]

Very well informative article for newbies who wants to invest in crypto currency but lacking some knowledge. I hope they will find it here or post some in beginners section they might find it interesting. These information are collected in different people/thread/article all in one mostly but this is enough already for beginners in crypto market. I think there are other strategy that hasn't been put on that article though it is intended only for newbies so it's understandable.

[lienfaye]

Your article is useful for beginners because they can gain idea on what could be the best strategy to maximize their chance to profit. But instead of letting us visit the link, much better to share it here the important parts and tips of your article, less hassle for readers.

Anyways each of us has different decision when it comes to our investment thus sometimes we tend to try every strategy to know what works best. For newbies its better to stick for establish coins because it has less risk. Though its not a guarantee of sure profit but somehow by choosing an establish coins you can avoid those bad projects that are not worth to invest in.

Most beginners do like to risk with altcoins which they do always after with 1000x gains and doesnt really go after with more established ones thats why

its always preferable to stick with known coins rather than risking out your funds into those alts with such low cap.Dont hurry on making money because this will

surely be the reason for you to lost money instead for you to earn.Greed will be the main reason thats why studying each one of those strategies will be a good habit.

Just try and try and find out which do suits out the best for you.

yes, you need a trading strategy, not necessarily buying and selling, the skill to read the movement situation also needs to be mastered. same as in the article above, for beginners it is very suitable, and does not rule out that we actually admit that we have not fully mastered trading, especially in the crypto market, which is difficult to predict the ups and downs of prices.

Due to volatilities the market movements is more harder inside crypto market, lots on speculative guesses and assumptions. You need to have a proper trainings and experiences in order to build a suitable strategy that will works from the different trends inside the market, Lots of study and deeper research.

Buy low and sell high is very difficult if you don't have any ideas  on how the market will proceed, though some technical analysis
may help but not as accurate as you think, those factors that affects the movement needs to analyze well especially those whales
behind the projects.

Is it me that think this article will just make newbies confused? They are having a hard time to rebalance their portfolio, too. As a starter, you may also explain some easy ways, tools to be use that is not complicated to understand.
 
 As I may advice to those new in trading industry, a good management plan is needed. Long term investing is more safe than doing some hasty short term trading but if necessarry tools were learned and ready to incorporate, the tips included in OP's link were now then be useful.

It is indeed not about selling and buying, trading is a mind game and a tough fight between you and your emotion so its also good that you know how to control yourself and know when to be greed and not to be greedy. Many strategies are available out in the market, and only those newbie can help themselves because we can only just give them an insights or advice, its up to them to adopt it or to continue playing in the market with their own greed.

That's the biggest problem wherein they are focusing to get rich quickly in trading by finding the next altcoin who will go 100x and above, it became a problem wherein a lot of newbies are losing their first investment because they keep purchasing shitcoins where there are no investors or traders that are participating to buy that kind of coin. Trading is not about being lucky wherein you must buy a low cap alts when it is still cheap and then you will sell it at the top. Trading is all about making consistent gains wherein you should have courage and determination to learn new things by doing some forward testing. I also suggest to avoid not popular coins and only make investment or just trade coins that have reputation in these past years. There is also no guarantee profit in trading and as a new in trading you must be aware that losses are inevitable but you can prevent suffering in huge losses by doing some risk management strategies.

What strategies do you use for your portfolio? I would love to keep adding to the list!

Like majority of other people in the crypto space, I rely on the popular phrase - "Do your own research (DYOR)". It's a very powerful saying once that sprung people to make better investment decisions instead of just investing blindly in any asset they can set their eyes on.  Doing one's research instead of relying solely on other people's suggestions and hearsay, they can avoid certain pitfalls which might be covered by the person suggesting it.

In picking assets to invest in, here are some steps I take:

1. The project's value proposition: Understanding what the project is offering is key to know how well they would fare against the thousands of other projects (with some offering a similar products and services).

2. Extensive research on the team: Given how scam pops up on regular basis in the crypto investing space, I tend to go the extra miles to research on the team.

3. Community support: Any project without adequate community support won't go very far. So community size and active support plays a huge role in the project success.

Another method I use is to invest in low to semi mid-cap tokens which have some upside potential. I also take pride in investing in the big boys, BTC and ETH whenever the opportunity presents itself.

What strategies do you use for your portfolio? I would love to keep adding to the list!

I'm sure many people here are doing profitable but without any specific strategy with respect to bitcoin investment. Probably the only strategy they are following must be, buying at all possible dips given that you are equipped with excess funds. I am following the strategy of "continuous buying". Because, I'm not waiting for dips to happen in bitcoin markets but I am regularly buying from my day job salary.

For beginners in the crypto world, the easiest  and most effective strategy is the Dollar Coast Average (DCA) strategy. you put in an amount every month or every week without thinking

As expected, I'm not alone here. Many people have already suggested what I am doing for years. Bitcoin is a kind of opportunity which is highly suitable for long-term holding. When we are ready to hold for long-term than continuous buying will help for sure.

From all the above, we need to have experience in trading to apply what we learn better. If we still try to trade, sooner or later, we will have experience which will be useful for us to get the time to trade and make a profit. The new people need to learn from many sources and don't depend on just one lesson from one person because if he can learn from others, his skills will improve and he will have a better trader.
