What are your trading strategies ?

[boumalo]

It seems most amateur traders are swing traders buying spot- to 10x to catch an about 10% move but the most successful traders are probably doing something else.

Arbitrage ? https://www.sfox.com/blog/bitcoin-arbitrage-is-possible-but-not-the-way-youre-doing-it/

Scalping on 1 to 15m candles ?

Market maker / bot strategies ?

It is mostly spot trading that solo traders rely on. Some of them are using indicators and going crazy over the numbers for day trading and using their methods to automate a bot. However that is still more risky than what spot is.

Indicators are good, but they came from the stock markets, they are more applicable in a regulated market which runs for a fixed numbers of hours per week. Unlike crypto whose market runs 24x7x365. Hence going with them is going to end up in a 50-50 profit/loss situation here.

Arbitrage - used to be the case some fives years back or so. Dont think it is applicable much when most exchanges have prices almost same. Someone might have something to say about it, does not make it correct. Depends on your personal choice.

Probably the safest strategy currently is to buy at low like if bitcoin drops to 20k or even 10k and then selling it at twice or thrice the buying price. Cycle it, while keeping the range of the cycle varying and you have a solid money return from each cycle.

I am using a simple strategy which is to buy low and sell high. I do not use the scalping trade because that is too risky for me. I'd better buy and wait for a while and sell it when the price increase. I do not mind waiting for one or two days later to sell the coin and make a small profit because I do not often watch the market. Maybe I will take $1-$5 profit after the fee and if I can not make it every day, I will not have a problem because I am still trying to sell on the other days.

I use 15m, 30m, daily time frame to check the coin moves. I do not force myself to make a profit as soon as possible because that will be hard for me. I prefer to trade with easy, just buy low and sell high.

Spot trading is more easier for beginners compared to Arbitrage and scalping, and some other strategies. Well, they all are risky, and as an amateur trader will surely look for a place that he can easily understand how to trade. In so many many tutorials we have seen, most of them are suggesting to start using spot trading and that is why the majority had also to follow. It could be a sort of influence, I don't know.

But for me, I use spot trading, I'm already contented with the results so I would stick there. I'm not saying I was successful already but at least, I was in profiting. Well, we can't deny about losses as we gonna experience that.

I love holding positions no matter how long it would take me to make profit I buy very low and hold most times for a weeks, months or even a year depending bon the volatility of the market. I rather make my profit big other than make donut that might end of going against the trend. Position trading are for the big investors and involves less risk.

[viananda2525]

technically i am using support resistance and price action technique. learning from price action will give me clear position about buyer and seller position in market, combining wih support and resistance it could be good trading system for me. and  personally i dont mind using spor ot future trading. as long as i am fully understand with my trading system and dicipline with my plan , futures trading could be choice to gain profit.

[enhu]

Not a chance for me to move to futures or leverage market, I'd be forever a newbie swing trader buying on spot market and expect more than 10x. The old strategy of buying low and sell high still is the strategy but having the chart to identify when to buy using the RSI. It works every time when looking at the indicators in the weekly charts that's long enough of a wait and profit.

[zanezane]

I don't have a lot of bitcoin so I guess my only strategy is that of hodling until the prices go up really high because even if I want to trade, my time won't allow it since I have some work to do and other endeavors to improve upon.

The question in general here is suitable for making a questionnaire, but you will not benefit from analyzing these results because the way you asked the question was general and not dedicated to a specific strategy or trading method.

The market is volatile so profitable trading is slot trading as the market change is fast and cannot be predicted using trading bots.
After we get into a bear market different strategies can be used.

[jrrsparkles]

The only strategy I keep in my mind all time is "Buy low and sell high," and also I prefer spot trading no matter whether is it short or long term because leveraged or other trading methods are risky and can make us on the losing side more than we can afford. So everyone has to be clear in profits making and concentrate on the whatever source you have to analysis then trade.

I sometimes do spot trading but most of the time I just hodl. Investment strategy is DCA, and whenever I actually trade, it'd last probably a week full of trading before bailing out. I tried getting on to trading in the past but it was just way too much responsibility that it kind of burnt me out of the passion to learn. I've also tried Scalping and Swing trading, I enjoyed learning Scalping but Swing was like a one two time trial for me, I never really tried it again after that.

If that you see that trading won't give you some favor, it is best to stop doing it coz it will only curse you. But of course, there is no wrong with trying, it is a sort of experiment to find a place where we are supposed to be and getting satisfied. Finding our comfort here in crypto is a great idea but, we can't find this thing if we are afraid to take risks. Yeah, it is a need for us to take risk.

I don’t have specific time for trading, I’m too focused on my target profit on my every trading position. Like for example, 20% is my target profit either it’ll take months or within a day I have to sell and take profit, same thing with my cut loss. You have to know and understand your own timeline, trading is very risky so always have your strategy.

[ChrisPop]

I don't believe there are successful and unsuccessful strategies. There are only successful and unsuccessful traders.
Strategies can be tweaked to work in all kind of market environments. In order to accomplish this a successful trader needs to have experience and a special set of skills like risk and emotions management between many others.

Arbitrage sounds very easy when you think of buying BTC at a low price from one platform and sell to another at a higher price. It's possible since I think there is a bot to be used for this so the price that you chase can be filled. Quite a safe strategy to win profit actually but I have not seen an actual trader who did this successfully.
The only that is pretty much easier for me is to wait for the price to go up and if bullrun won't come I wouldn't be able to sell coins.

[taufik123]

currently scalping is the trading strategy that I am currently using. Because by using a scalping strategy, I will enter and exit the market quickly and with a few percent profit. it is done repeatedly and will provide benefits that are spread out. scalping strategy is not just trading, but looking for price gaps that can be used as profits. Technical and fundamental analysis is needed to determine when to enter and when to exit. the main key of the scalping strategy is not to be greedy, regardless of the profit, you must always be satisfied.

[boyptc]

We have our own preferred strategies if we do day trading. But when I was doing a day trade, I check the position if it's a good time to buy and then I've got the confidence of selling it eventually the next hours. Usually only going with the most liquid coins to trade with so there's no wasted time for those low liquid coins.

For those that are unsuccessful with day trading, holding is a good strategy.

I don’t think there is any strategy that works best. Another thing is it depends on you and what you’re really looking for, because that’s what’s going to help you determine whether this or that is going to sit well with you. You don’t just hop on it because everyone is doing.

Sometimes I see my friends using a strategy I can never try, and I envy them for that, but at the end of the day I still have to continue with my own strategy because that’s what has been working for me for years now. And moreover some of the strategies you have mentioned are mainly working on stock market. If you apply them you might not really make it.

Mostly i follow a simple strategy, i do analysis the chart which i will buy and draw its support and resistance line and don't buy all of my amount in one support line i will divide mu fund into four parts and place buy order individually and it will give me more benefits in bear market because this strategy helps to minimize my losses.

Pullback and breakout. These two things work best for me. I pick up a time frame on 4 hour chart to look for any supports and resistances, then I just look for any breakout from that point or I look for any pullbacks from these points. If there is a breakout, I wait for retest on a smaller time frame let's say 1 hour chart and then make a trade. Similarly if the breakout fails then I go for an a
Opposite position after seeing the candle stick formation on a smaller timer frame let's say 30 minute or 1 hour chart.
