Is there such thing as a “safe strategy”?

[fullhdpixel]

I think there is one and that is hodling your bitcoin for long term and continuously buying bitcoin and accumulating more. I think that is a safe strategy in my opinion.

I just wonder why people like OP are not at all listening to this community but still looking for safest strategy for their trading purposes. When you are coming into trading, there cannot be anything safer; you must need to risk all your capital, time and efforts still there cannot be any assured results. But, holding bitcoin is something a stop for such people. The safer heaven for easy money.

If you want to establish strategies, there are many, as I said, you have to think carefully about your approach, whether it is investment or market speculation.

There are hundreds of thousand available but I bet none of them is safe for our capital. Holding is also a kind of strategy but it requires less technical part hence people never accept it as a strategy and never think about to make use of it for multiplying their capital.

So my question is: Is there such thing like low risks strategies? If yes, what could be an example of that?

Yes and no.  Yes, there are strategies with very low risk – e. g. options premium strategies (Bull call spreads, …).  But: low risk strategies come with lowered profit targets while mid or high risk strategies give a better profit target on higher risk.

But none of these work on the long run without proper money and risk management.  If you've previously lost all, you money- and risk management was lacking.  Take your time to learn how to set entry and exits before you enter the market and learn how to calculate your risk-to-reward before entering the market.  You should never be in a position where a few number of trades can blow your trading account.

There's no such thing as "safe strategy".There are low risk/low profit strategies and high risk/high profit strategies.I wouldn't even call them strategies,because a strategy is more like a plan.
This is just trader tactics.Some traders love taking risks,while others want stability and predictability,combined with low profit margins.
I consider crypto day trading to be riskier than buying Bitcoin/altcoins and HODLing them in the long run.
Buying tokens,issued by new crypto projects is extremely risky.I do not recommend it to newbies traders.

Yes there is, as long you believe on it and you know what you're doing, then it can lower the risk.

Safe strategy is to play long term with the good projects for example on Binance, you'll buy at the bottom price and you wait for its to recover this may not be the safest strategy, but as long as your money is on a good project there's still an assurance that you can make profit.

I’m not looking to be a full time trader. I just want to do one or two trades per week focusing on modest gains but low risk.

For example: I though that trading on the first minutes of an IEO was a safe option. But after reviewing how previous Launchpad projects went on the firsts minutes I does not looks like a low risk strategy at all.

So my question is: Is there such thing like low risks strategies? If yes, what could be an example of that?

There is really no such thing as low risk, it all comes down to how you play your game, like one of the things you have to do to reduce your risk is to be trading with small amount that won’t affect your pocket in case things should go wrong, and then you have to be making use of stop loss, although sometimes it can cause you to miss out when the market suddenly goes up again after a dip, that’s why you have to be focused on your trade.

Then you can try Hodl, but you have to be careful of which coins you’re Hodl’ing, and you also have to understand that the market does not go up all the time and also it can take years for another bull run to happen, just like the current bull run, we had to wait for years and some people even gave up. So if you choose to just Hodl, buy at the right time and be ready to hold for a long time.

The safest way is to invest Bitcoin at a lower price, not during Bullrun. Just hold and never trade.

We never think that everything will find just like today and it will continue to rise by tomorrow or in the next few days because that is not the truth. If you come into trading with less knowledge about this place, you often lose no matter how hard you try, and even you choose the best trading platform. We have to know that trading is risky, it is really easy to keep calm and never be emotional but you can't decline such feeling when you are in the real scenario.

A lot of people go long investment on some new project. Mostly those projects don't end up well. Investing in some of top 10 coins will probably make you have good profit. Maybe it wont be x100 but still it's safer investment.

I’m quite new into trading of any sort. I started by shorting BTC when price was trending down. I made some profits and then I lost it all... several times.

Besides potential gains, I love all the knowledge on markets and economics I’m getting by experimenting.

There is nothing that could be called safe strategy. The safest thing you could ever imagine would be DCA purchasing of bitcoin and even that is not guaranteed income. What you should do is divide your money into 20 and then buy it once a day that takes 20 days, you could even do once a week and that takes 20 weeks, and that means you are buying at all prices, downs and ups, and that way you will not be buying at the top but not at the bottom and somewhere around the between levels most of the time.

Choosing bitcoin would be acceptable as well because it is the biggest coin and even though its volatile, it is not as volatile as other coins which could move 50% a day very easily because they have less liquidity. That is why I think it is quite obvious that this is the most "safest" strategy but even doing this you could do it now and then in 5-6 months later it could crash to under 20k and you would lose money.

Every trading involve risk but trading on the first minutes of IEO is more risky because the project team usually manipulate the price and trading on a new exchange listed IEO project when launch trading competition is also risky but the best thing to do is to invest and make some gain and leave early before the big accumulator dump their holding.

So my question is: Is there such thing like low risks strategies? If yes, what could be an example of that?

Thank you!

Yes, there's low risk strategy and the strategy is to invest more in Bitcoin when there is panic in the market.

If me maybe my safe or in other word how to minimize my losses, is back to spot. Because in spot trading, i still can back up to bought lower if coin that i bought dropped. And then it not really extreme as we trade in future trading. In spot, if we still hold means we not lose yet and i can hold my coins whenever i want.

As long as you are keeping the same amount of those coin, you can recover if the project are really moving project, not just a pump and dump but a usable asset.

Spot trade gives you the freedom to choose either to go long or to cut your losses and try to recover as quick as you can.

At the end of the day, it's all about your understanding nad knowledge, there's no such word safe but you can always
lessen the risk. Your money, your call when it comes to trading.

Perhaps you do refrain from your old strategies, usually the first weeks of newly IEO listing is more unstable and risky than the old ones. The team of it can still control the price by pumping or dumping it.
 
 The market is unpredictable but the safest low risk strategies is trading in a long term with those potential and established coins. With of course good trading plan and setting up your "goal profit" and setting up your "stop loss".

When you are trading the highly potential and established coins then you never need to worry about stop-loss and you can book profits wherever you are comfortable to end your positions. Only very few coins are available with such characteristics and bitcoin must be first one on that list. Obviously when we are trading bitcoin for long-term goals with low leverage or on spot market then that would be coming up with absolutely zero risk like OP asked.

Moreover people like OP are always looking for highly profitable day-trading strategy with low or zero risk. When it comes to frequent-trading then there cannot be any strategy with the low or zero risk. Only time factor will decide your level of risk and when you are ready to hold for long time then the risk slowly is submerging.

Hodling Bitcoin is your safe strategy, because you mentioned as well that you do not want to full-time trade.
Don't do day trading as well. I had risked mine before and it was rough and stressful time management to do.

If you are looking for the safest strategy to earn profit then just hold besides, you have mentioned that you don't want to be a full-time trader so perhaps holding would perfectly fit for you. Or you could have just done the spot trading, buying at a cheap price wait till it goes up and makes a profit then sell. You can hold your coins with no pressure in spot trading so it is less risky than any other type of trading. Investing on top listed coin also reduce the risk of losing your money so you were probably want to stay out from newly created coin as they were riskier.

That is right. But you should have a target price to sell because holding without having a plan when you can sell your bitcoin will not good. You will not take profit if only holding even if you see your bitcoin's value increase from time to time.

Day trading is only for people who have skills and know when they can enter the market with their analysis. But holding will be the best strategy for people who doubt the time to trade because they do not want to lose their money.

[Reid]

None. After entering the crypto currency industry, you are already at risk.
That's how I view it and maybe most of us should. There is no safe place here even with just keeping Bitcoin or Ethereum.
It's all a risk. You just minimize it by keeping everything secure.

How much more when you trade it? You put a risky coin on a risky industry. I guess you know the answer already.

[Ucy]

Just focus more on buying the dips...
In my opinion, one of the easiest and safest strategies, would be to focus on buying  significant  dips with small amounts money  (esp money that would've  been spent on things you don't really need ) and sell whenever you need some money for other important things.
This is more profitable from my experience, especially if you focus more on main cryptocurrencies  like Bitcoin

[Woodie]

With trading we have no such a thing as safe why because there are several factors that can affect your trade, things like spread affect your trade which from personal experience if you use pending orders they are never activated despite correctly analysing the markets.

Playing it safe is also not good because you would want to wait for trades to start heading your direction which means entering trades late which is as good as using indicators and long term you might have more losers than winners because your risk to reward will be low all because you want to play it safe.

The possibilities of pump and dump is always present in any project, it's the investors who needs to seek for deeper information before investing

to any project, much safer in terms of avoiding being victimized by scam projects if you take time doing your own DYOR.

It's stressful and more on regretful once you've been left behind, you'll keep losing your money once you start chasing the bull and

sell  out during the bear, common mistake of every traders.
