Is there such thing as a “safe strategy”?

[Yamifoud]

To be sincere, there's no safe strategy anywhere because every investment strategy in cryptocurrency have its own risk involving this is the reason why new investors are advised to learn more about but it good to have the required knowledge and awareness in making a profitable investment decision that can be used to prevent lost.

I hope it was clear enough for OP and for the newcomers who seek safety assurance here as they can't find it. Even expert traders had no escape from this how much more for the beginners.
For you OP, if you can't handle the stress and wanted safety assurance in trading, you'll better not try this thing because you only just be disappointed and that might curse you. Don't bother yourself trying if you were afraid to lose as this is a possible and normal scenario.

Be a responsible trader where you do your own analysis even if you don’t trade everyday, this can lessen the risk and your strategies might give your more reward this is mu safe strategy, I only buy if its cheap and sold if its expensive already. Work with the good project as well, to ensure good profit and returns.

If we don't trade, there will be no risk that is what we think but the truth is that, as we are in trading no matter we just trade once a week, we are still in the high-risk.

Traders are risk-takers so better live that way if you want to succeed. Safety strategy? We can never find it here. Choosing a good project could give you a chance to make profit but we can't eliminate the risk. If we wanted not to experience losses, then we have to stop dreaming for becoming a trader.

Hi there!

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.

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?

Thank you!

All I can say is everything in cryptocurrency trading there is always risk involved. But to say say if it is low or high that could be depend on your review I think. So, in my own opinion and views, if you want to trade with a safe strategy choose the coin that has a fast moving price in the chart graph you could surely get a profit by it but of course be careful still in doing it. Good luck

I think that there are no safe trading strategies; there is at least a minimal risk in every strategy. If there was a "safe" strategy, then no one would make money on each other by speculation and so on. This is the basis of the trade, the greater the risk, the greater the profit and vice versa.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

If not trading is counted then probably it is the safest strategy because sometimes not playing is the safest action, if I were to choose, I would probably hodl my bitcoin instead of risking it in trade where there is an uncertainties and risk involved.

When it comes to "safe" I guess it's "buying & holding" the coins/tokens you believe in the long term! Everything that includes "fast profit" is risky, so risky that you can lose your entire bankroll!

"Safe" also comes with practice! When you practice something long enough, you have more confidence, you know what things to watch for, you are well aware of risks and how to avoid them, so it's safer for you to do "risky" things!

Yes, there are safe strategy.
Many investors are still achieving something good from their trade in the market because of the strategy they are using to study market price. Monitoring the price of the market before supplying your coins to the market can make your strategy safe and profitable in the process.
Buy and hold for the market to change for your satisfaction is one of the safe strategy many investors are using to earn massive profit from their Investment.

What you call a safe strategy doesn't really provide a 100% guarantee. Once you have bought a cryptocurrency, you are already on the path of risk and may lose your deposit due to circumstances that do not depend on you. And the strategies you've listed can only reduce these risks.

They might be lucky to have that chance but we all know that these people are in trouble during their early days in trading. They might be now in a good situation with the help of their experience. However, they can't deny also that not all the time their trades went successful but I was sure that they also suffer losses.

Buy and Hold are a genuine practice that everyone was doing, but this couldn't give us the guaranteed safe that we are looking for. Many holders did also lose due to the wrong choice of coin.

Honestly people keep talking about how it could be safe, or how it can't be safe but isn't that a bit more about what you understand about safe? I understand that most people talk about "very little risk to lose all your money, even if it means not making a lot of profit" but that is not it for many people who are crazier when they are trading.

I have a friend who throws 50k into any defi he finds these days, he wasn't a rich person about a year ago, he bought about 20k dollars worth of bitcoin when it was around 5-6k and it helped him get richer eventually, but the real thing came when he started to throw money into defi projects, made 2x here and 3x there and 5x something else and suddenly his 20k was over a million dollars, now that dude throws 50k into every defi thinking he could still 2x that, and if he loses to him that is safe because it is "only 50k", that is not the case for most of us.

Seriously? Trading into the first minutes of an IEO looks to you as a safe option? They Generally open at 5-10 times higher price than their issue price, how can you expect it to be a low-risk trade? All the monsters who would have subscribed to the issue run to sell everything they were holding. I don't think there is any low-risk trading strategy until you are willing to deep dive into space. Normally every strategy would have a Risk-Reward ratio of 1:1. To create a low-risk strategy in every trade try to take this ratio to 1:2. 1 times risk for two times the reward. Other than that one good strategy that doesn't always work is buying 24h lows. You just pick the 24h lows from Binance see if the low is backed by a big red candle on the chart and wait for a retracement in an upward direction.

I support what you said because cryptocurrency investment is for those who can take the risk and make use of it to profit themselves but I study the OP question and I think he asks the question out of curiosity so he can know if there's a strategy that would minimize the chance of making losses.

Yes, it’s not advisable to buy when they are just getting into the market, because you’re sure heading for a loss. It’ has become a normal thing for people who are holding tokens to sell them immediately the token lands the market, and that would usually affect the price in that first time it is starting, they all end up crashing to a lower price than what they got into the market with, and if the project is strong they are still going to recover after the drop, but that’s not usually the case for all of them.

I like the strategy you have here, it’s a good strategy and is definitely going to work if one follows it right.

[kolbalish]

I am not so skilled to suggest you but in my little experience, I can say that there is no safe strategy to trade. If you want to trade safely then you have to aware of the market and get the points of sure risks and never hurry to trade. Don't run to catch high profitable investments if you not properly skilled. All over there are no safe strategy but you have to try to balance the market if you want to minimize risk.

[Eureka_07]

If you want to be safe, then do not entrust your investment to any person or group of people unless you know them well and you know how the strategy is working. I believe in the long run of us having getting more and more experience and knowledge, that's when we start knowing which trading strategy is safer compared to other. DYOR, invest time.

[Yatsan]

It depends on the person who are into trading on what he personally consider as a "safe strategy" to be so called because we differ on how we strategize our trading to make risk management and make things work out in our favor. But since you are into cryptocurrency trading, expect that there will be no standard strategy to be considered as safe all due to the reason that we are working in a volatile market so decision and strategies may vary depending upon the situation. Also, keep in mind that upon deciding to enter this industry, you must already know that you will be facing risks associated with trading and investment and if you cannot handle such failures and risks, then it must be not meant for you to work on.

Even if you know them well, do not trust anyone with your money because even if they mean well, they could still end up losing money so why should you do something like that.

This is why I think it is going to be obvious that anyone can lose money and if they are your friends, or people you trust, you might give them the money but believe me it is not going to be easy to hear that they lost your money, it happens to best of us, we all lose money, and when you lose your own money that is your own fault and you can be angry at yourself and that is no one's business, but another person losing your money is not easy, that is going to end up being a bit more trouble for you, this is why you should be careful about it.

I am not saying you will get mad at them or do something, but it is still going to hurt more than you would otherwise make a loss yourself.

[jahepahit]

there are surely safe strategies, as regards bitcoin trading i would suggest you to be a holder than trade per time. per time trading will make you miss alot of opportunity. to me i think trading is more of a full time thing while holding can work for per time. IEO trading on launch day is very risky. its better to allow the dust to settle before you buy, alot of people bought cheap and want to take profit this process will fight to take the price down which is why you shouldnt rush to sell.

Well, I totally agree with you --long-term holding if you will compare in day trading or a full-time trader is very far different. Holding is the most secure way to gain profit while investing and of course, never take an action such as selling if your profit was not there. But the problem is there is no specific date of time when you will sell your asset. But for me, every coin in crypto even altcoins has its own new ATH, so in other words, there are possibilities that gaining profit on holding assets is a very effective way and perhaps for me, that is the safe strategy ever.

Correct, this is a risk based speculation market. You bear the risk and reap a reward in case you make the right move. Risk can reduced by doing research and timing your buy/sell but it cannot be made zero.

If you want to trade safely then you have to aware of the market and get the points of sure risks and never hurry to trade. Don't run to catch high profitable investments if you not properly skilled.

Profitable investments dont come just like that. Rather they grow with time and most people fail realize it before it goes out of hand. Just like Bitcoin when it was three digits and today it is five digits in price.

Awareness in the market is good, but knowing when to buy and sell are important too. Someone going in at long term need to target a very low price comparing with the last few years charts to determine support/resistance levels. This basic homework is essential for a trader or investor.

Even with altcoins, the awareness in the market and day trading aspects are very much real. They are more risky then bitcoin, profitable of course but chances of one getting washed out is way more.

safe strategy you can apply classic strategies that exist today. choose a low-risk coin such as bitcoin buy at the lowest price and hold it until the price has increased, then sell at the high price. it is the most effective strategy today and the safest ever
