In any case, it is better to under-earn a profit than to close a trade with a loss. Therefore, you should not try to sell the coin on high, because in practice, only a few manage to do this. Similarly, you will not be able to buy coins at the lowest price. And this should not upset you.
Sell "high" in the sense that you should be profiting is the correct way to do it, sell "high" in the sense that you should find the peak point is the wrong one. I just wanted to clarify that because there are tons of newbies that may mistake the two. I personally do not sell at the high for both times, I sell when I feel like I have enough profit and I want to get out, I am a big time long-termer so I am always in favor of holding as long as possible. But for someone who wants to learn trading, that means buying and selling quickly instead of investing long term. That is why it is always a big deal to get out quickly. I even used a bot to trade that calculated like all the costs and gave you 1000 satoshi profit each trade, normally you would profit even more because of the fee, but in the end whatever you traded 1000 satoshi was your profit after all expenses, the idea was to make tens of even hundreds of these trades, it worked like a charm until bear market came in.

I tried trading Bitcoin a couple of years ago but quit after I lost $300. What advice do you have for me if I decide to start trading again? Thank you!
First thing every trader or should I say most traders miss when they embark on this journey is risk management , which I missed myself when I started trading. I know everyone wants to get rich but better than blowing your account...let's learn to grow our accounts slowly 🐌 ,believe you mean a dollar a day will put a smile on you..

The first thing to do is to ask yourself why you lost the first time you tried to trade this market? If you do not know then this is going to be a problem as you could make the same mistakes once again and this is never a good thing, the second thing I will ask is what have you done since then to change your decision to trade the markets again? Have you read several books and dedicated hundreds of hours to this topic to the point you are confident you can make money this time around? Because if you have not done this then I do not see the point of trying your luck on trading once again.

My practical advice is to be practical. Don't force yourself if you are not good at it. But if you are decided to go that way then try trading what you can only afford to lose. This means you won't regret it even if it goes to zero. Using that kind of mentality you are avoiding the bad reactions to swings. i.e. Panic selling or greed. Create a plan. How many dollars are you aiming for, just for starters? $100 profit? If you hit that what's next? If necessary you should create a record for it.

Practical advice would probably be to do your own research and never to trust new coins without doing so because you never know if that coin is just a quick smash and grab or has a potential. Also, stick to stablecoins if you can to prevent big losses and panics that you aren't ready for.

Learning how to trade requires learning which can be done by enrolling for online or physical classes inorder to get the skills that is needed to trade the financial markets just like going to school to acquire a degree to get a job. A lot of newbies most time avoid this process, looking for sharp means to get to trading a coin. Everything in life requires processes that need to be followed so that understanding is gotten. There is no need of rushing since money is involved which can be a risk if aim is not achieved. Training is risky but risk management need to be in place in case the contrary happens

The advice that I can give with all my heart is, do not trade until at least you have read about 7 to 10 books, this for you to learn to understand the market, you do not do anything with reading books that teach you AT, AT can be very useful, but The AT does not teach you to think but to use the indicators and tools well, what you should do is try to understand the market, after that you will see the market in your own way with all your well-sustained arguments with knowledge of book authors, in that moment is that you must trade, but before trading, you must do it in demo mode, to test your strategies and so that you learn to use all resources of the Exchanges.

If you have stopped years ago, then try to learn and study everything about Trading again. You should know that it's a long process of learning and it would be better to start over with a full gear of knowledge so you'll be too ready to deal with the volatility of the market. Pick an exchange that you're comfortable trading with and do series of practice trading. Do lots of preparation by gaining knowledge first so you'll trade better than what you did before.

Training is risky but risk management need to be in place in case the contrary happens You don't necessarily have to enroll to trading classe, that's why there are demo accounts out there to help you gain experience without losing money and learning from the experience, my friends didn't enroll in any of those but they just jumped right in although that's a bit riskier. Risk management should be considered but you don't have to always risk things when you are starting, there are things that are risk free, just grab the opportunity.

start trading again with basic trading knowledge. it will help you not to lose your money for nothing. Don't give up when you haven't achieved anything, the trade you made may be wrong at that time, but if you already know the knowledge you will get a profit and make up for your $300 loss. Don't give up to keep learning.

Start from scratch then. Go start feeding yourself with knowledge first about cryptocurrency and how the market works for a couple of years ago you might be lacking of those that make you have a hard time dealing with your trading. Once done, you can start again doing trading from the bottom starting from a handy or small amount of capital and put it into the crypto that you think can make you earn profit to help you out fund yourself into varieties of crypto that is worthy for your time and effort to do trading. Equipping yourself with knowledge is the first and foremost that you must obtain before anything else to be able to survive.

A more practical advice is that just buy low during the bear market and wait for the price to go up. You don't have to really trade every day to feel like you are a crypto trader. Swing traders are the ones who just buy and wait for the right price to sell.
You don't have to keep watching the chart like there is a daily golden opportunity that comes. Doing this will take up most of your time so instead, do some reading and learning after investing.

I think OP had already filled with practical and learning advice. Maybe it was time for OP to share what happened to him. I think everyone is expecting a good result to know if that is really effective or not. @OP Just to think about that trading is not easy nor it was for everyone. If you choose to become a trader, then it means that you are also willing to lose your money. Just think that trading is not all about money but we are also investing knowledge in this field.

A reply of mine that someone asked similar question like this; I think you need to dig in some online resources and if you search on reddit posts about I am sure you will find plenty of nice sources. The next step can be to start doing some backtests and papertrades to see how much you are good at putting into practice what you have learned based on historical data and live data. The learning cycle never ends btw for anybody. So you need to keep the learning cycle on. The next step could after backtesting and papertrades for months, you can actually start real trading. But the most crucial about this will be START SMALL just have the experience and learn how things can be when trading with real money after your preparations. Overall crucial points in my opinion: - Risk&Money management - something you need to learn very well
- Always have a well-designed plan and stick to that till your trades are done - which can be called a trading discipline.
- We people are emotional beings so we can easily lose ourselves to our emotions such as being greedy, panic, etc. This will let most traders ended up with loss. You should definitely have a good understanding of what does it mean emotional disadvantage in trading.(You can look for as behavioral finance in trading)
- Backtest and paper trades are significant especially when you starting for the first time. It lets you understand what are your weaknesses and strengths in trading, how good your strategy performs compared past events in the market, and on live data as well. There are some good platforms that offer such tools in a very nice way.
- Look for ways to increase your trading skills such as trading bots. And you should try it by yourself rather than listening to other people's opinions you can take their opinion as a reference. But you will be the one who will decide what is works for you the best what is not.
- Last one could be, do your own research. Dont listen or other people's advice, instead of listening their advice with reasoning, strengthen your perspective and researching your own. There should be a solid answer when you ask yourselves "why" when doing something.
Well those are stuffs that pops up in my head. There are more stuff to mention tho, I believe there will other people who would like to share their valuable information. And if your search your question on the reddit I am sure you find a lot of posts and comments similar to this.

The first thing you need to do is to have proper knowledge about cryptocurrency, Finding reliable sources/tools/materials that could help you boost your trading knowledge is a must. Determination is also a very important thing in starting up. Losing a trade isn't bad for starters, It is a step going to the road of success. Managing risks is also an important practice, especially for a beginner. Experienced traders have their own risk management skills and it would be nice if you acquire those skills in your early exposure to trading.

Because their business is to keep you as a client so when you lose you think there is still something more to learn from them and then you pay for yet another course, if you are going to study the markets then do so from books which are very cheap and are way more deep than whatever you can get from those courses.

You are the only one who knows your mentality and money you have. So the first thing you need to do is learn how to manage your risk. Then learn how to grow your portofolio by managing your cold money ( money which does not use for buying daily needs ).
Technical and fundamental easy to learn and you can do it along with learning risk management.
Trading is not easy as you see on tic-tac ( tiktok ). It can eat your money fast especialy in crypto market.
Dont take any advice from tweeter and other paying method, it only wasting your time and money. There are a lot of free resource out there on youtube or tradingview.

Don't trade then, just invest. Trading isn't gambling and the moment you mistake it for that, you're lost already. Having the mindset of a gambler coming into trading is jo way to go about it. You have to dedicate your time into learning and constant practice to perfect the skills. The very moment you get an idea and confident of carrying out a successful trade then you can be advice to start trading. While you're learning you can put your money to work buy investing and probably you'll find out which is the path you're to follow whether it's trading or investing. Both are quite entertaining to partake in but investing has less stress and more chances of profiting so it's up to you to decide.

Many newbies don't have the patience that requires with that strategy. Well,many of us here in the forum knows how to be patient in those times. We know how to handle situations and we're patient enough to wait after buying. What I've noticed with many newbies, they want an overnight success which is a very dangerous thought and belief in this market.

I'm sure you learnt one or two lessons from your failure in trading the first time you tried it. I'm sure one prominent lesson you must have learnt would be to invest in learning as much as you can before you trade. The only advice I'd give to you would be to really understand how trading works. Understand fundamental and technical analysis. Understand how chart patterns works. Understand these things and you'd be to make profitable trades, reducing your losses to the barest minimum.
