Why Does This Always happen?

[Wiwo]

I use to have a similar experience in the past when I was still a newbie in trading the market always go against me this leave me stressed until I realize that it was my emotion that is playing games on me and needed to build my confidence and level of patience. If you notice each time you make an order the market goes against you it shows you are not doing things right and you need to re-strategize.

Like the image above, it's happens to me almost all the time and I don't know if any one here can relate? At times, it's really frustrating and I feel like "maybe some witches are out there preventing me from making profit off my investment" 😂.

Just hold and all your troubles will be over, and when I'm talking about holding I'm not referring to all those shit coins out there. Holding those are like digging your own grave. If you noticed this with your bitcoin bags then just results to holding. Another thing you should avoid is following the crowd. Take an example from last year, there was a common assumption that Bitcoin will reach $100k so everyone was waiting on that price to sell. Usually since the sell pressure are on that price range, there's every chance the price won't be able to get there then the panic will come in and people will rush to dump.

In regards to the selling scenario, avoid selling all your bags at ones and you could outsmart the market. If you noticed each time you sell, the price tends to bounce up then sell in fractions. Firstly takeout your capital then gradually obvious the market and take profit. With this strategy you'll always be in profit no matter how small it is. The goal should be always to make profit not lose.

That's typical of every investors/traders' experience and I believe it happens so because a lot of traders buy almost at the same psychological level. There are levels people believe the market will take a turn, either upward or downward. Most times it doesn't happen that way because the market has a mind of its own. They forget that what the crowd feels is right is in most cases not right. Those who follow crowd mentality in trading often get messed up like that. There's a reason the famed Warren Buffet tells us to buy when others are scared and sell when they're greedy buying more. He's right on that one. It simply means going left when the crowd go right and vice versa.

Buying when the market is at its lowest is the best decision anyone can make. It is good to monitor the market and know when others are fearful, and when they start being fearful that’s when you should start buying and gathering as much as you can.

Because, when the market is at its lowest you don’t really have much to lose, but if you are the type that rushes in when others are also being greedy, and you ended up buying at the peak price, then it is going to be a really huge problem for you if the market should start to plummet. You would lose a lot of money from that kind of investment. but for someone who gets in at the lowest, you can be able to have patience and HODL till the market reaches the top.

This is amusing, but it is also accurate. If I recall correctly, I previously referred to this as "you are wagering your life." I only realized after a month that I was not trading, that I was gambling in trading because that is what really happens, that I was not following strategy, that I was not following rules, that I was only following my emotions and guts to open this trade. If we are talking about gambling, every time your gut tells you to sell, don't do it, just do the opposite and buy instead haha that is gambling in trading, but if we are talking about real trading, there are a lot of steps that must be completed before a trade can be entered and closed. First and foremost, improve your strategy and learn more.

Or maybe you just don't remember those moments of your trading when you get a profit, and all your attention is focused on negative transactions? If trading is comparable to gambling for you, then, according to the theory of probability, you should have not only unprofitable transactions, but also profitable ones.

So what you all think? Do you experience this kind of stuffs too? Feel free to share your story with us.

It is normal to happen and almost every trader experience it when they try to be greedy. Therefore how to avoid it is

1. Set a sell limit for yourself. You can determine this by when you enter and you calculate how much profit to go for and you keep to it.

2. Don't depend or look at other people's exit time. If you do this you are over stretching the market or your profit.

3. Don't be greedy. This covers all the reasons that we see our profit changing into losses.

That scenario normally happen because many trader base their game plan on their emotions, many people is afraid to risk on certain movements that's why if we want to do trades proper charting is really important so that we can get a little hint on the possible scenario to come in certain timeframe.

I think we can all relate that sometimes it seems as if the market is just waiting for us to make a decision just to do the opposite of what we want, however that is just an illusion, the markets do not have the time to care for us when there are so many big players trying to move the markets to their convenience.

If anything this proves why trading is so hard, because it goes against our natural instincts,  whenever you feel a huge urge to sell, like when the market is going down then that is the moment to buy, and whenever you are thinking about investing every single dollar you have to your name in bitcoin as it has been growing during the bull run then that is actually the moment to sell.

You should also bare in mind that technicals doesnt 100% work on crypto or on any market but somewhat it is the main thing that is being used by most traders because if you arent using this then you

would really be just like a blind man who do keep on guessing and speculating the possible next price movement without any basis or analysis or picturing it out which does simply means that you are

gambling out with your own investment or money which i dont see for it to be worth.This is actually the main behavior of the market on where not all of analysis that we had made will be effective.
It is a non-ending or non-stop trial and error case scenario.So be aware of that.

Mistake is part of the business,when one makes mistake,he begins to know why those mistake s happens and if he learns from them,he becomes an experienced person  in that field.It is not always good to regret,to me,mistakes are part of life,and a man that is full of mistakes,is a man that is full of experience.
We loose money due to different reasons,and those are meant to be observed and learned as a lesson so that it won't repeat itself again.Every trader should have a tactics or strategy he uses in going about his business.

[darewaller]

There are too many people who think that they are cursed but the reality is that as long as you hold, it will always have ups and downs all together. I mean if you bought at any given minute, then there is a 90%+ chance that you are in profit aside from maybe the last 3-4 months, that is why it is not really fair to say that when you buy the price goes down.

In the last 10+ years of crypto, if you bought at any given time aside from maybe like 2-3 months of it, it was always lower than this price, so if you hold bitcoin, you would be in profit, and it will profit in the future even if you bought at 68k as well, you just have to wait.

That is why traders need to have skills in analyzing because it is very much needed and has a big role in trading,
some people see when we take risks it is a wrong decision and certainly not because as long as we have a strong reason for taking risks it is a good thing,

Also, most traders don't know when to sell their coin but instead hold on to it so they are too late to sell at the right price.
Have skills in analyzing but you should also have other factors, namely controlling yourself so that you are not too greedy in taking profits.
Many of these traders want to get big profits, so they forget that prices will not always be high, so it's better to take profits if you have made a profit.
Don't wait any longer because the market can change and drop immediately in the next minute or hour.

Lol, rhats some accurate representation of what happens often, independent of your stands in the market. You would have seen it like, your so good in making bad decisions or taking a wrong position in the market but should you even attempt to sell and take a different position, you would still observe the same thing. Like a turn towards the previous direction and you would be like, "is someone waiting and watching for the moves I would take to just turn this charts against me?". Its really surprising but then, its the market itself playing out its tricks and maybe, your original analysis was right after all and all that was needed was to just wait out the few moves against you before it returns in your favour but, with this being so hard to tell, it becomes so difficult to do.

Well, it's not only happened to you  , because I've experienced it before when I buy the tokens/coins will bearish and when I sell it the coins/tokens will bullish it's really frustrating like you said and rather than feel frustrating I'm just leaving my crypto alone and not see it anymore for a while. Just keep patience and keep hodl from what you have because something like that is not rare to see   

[AicecreaME]

Market is very unpredictable, it could go both ways, up or down, lucky if it goes sideways. It's annoying if it always goes the way you mentioned. To prevent that, maybe you need to start using technical analysis, or if you are already, maybe you need to improve your technical analysis using different indicators. It's gonna be a trial and error phase until you find the indicators that fits your trading style, so make sure you manage your trades as well.

Happen to all of us for sure since the feeling to be left behind is one of the main reason why all of those things happen to us and this is quite normal as we cannot predict on how the market move in what direction. That's why profit is profit mindset us important so that we can always be in bullish position even if market goes up or go down.

The market is uncertain and we can't always expect the prices to go up whenever we invest in it and it requires what type of coins you have invested in like shitcoins are pump and dump scheme so avoid them.For btc the prices are moving up and down in a restricted zone from a long time but after few months we could easily see the barriers breaking towards $50k but the thing is can you hold it for that time? This is not get rich fast scheme so you have to wait and make efficient moves to make profits.

Yes, the market price is unpredictable, it can rise today and decrease tomorrow for some traders to make profit and other traders to make losses. At this season we are now, investing on bitcoin is a good choice because bitcoin price is about to breaking in $50k for those that prepared for the bear market to start earning profits from the market. Bitcoin price is about to hit back to $75 for those that exercise patient with their long holding to achieve something good from this season of profits making. According to researchers, just be patient with your hold because people are about to get richer when the price of bitcoin hit $100 before the end of this month.

Mistake is part of the business,when one makes mistake,he begins to know why those mistake s happens and if he learns from them,he becomes an experienced person  in that field.It is not always good to regret,to me,mistakes are part of life,and a man that is full of mistakes,is a man that is full of experience.
We loose money due to different reasons,and those are meant to be observed and learned as a lesson so that it won't repeat itself again.Every trader should have a tactics or strategy he uses in going about his business.

But sometimes people even run into the same error and it keeps repeating itself. What is wrong with them is not because of how often they experience losses and gain a lot of experience, but their psychology has not been trained so that when the strategies used are not on target, they will panic and forget the planned strategy.
Management needs to be done properly so that psychology in trading is not damaged.
even professional trader still has unstable psychology if they are not passionate about trading and internal problems occur.
Use a clear mind and start trading.

No OP, witches or witchcraft rather are not true lol but what you think is only just in your head but I am very sure that you are not alone with that and I think I already saw lots of threads already or replies about the same scenario. I think there is an explanation to that. It's just when you sell, many others are selling too, the price then dump so there's going to be a rush buy that will happen and that's how it triggers an instant pump.

When you hodl, the price merely move because everyone else is hodling too and rarely buy or sell. In the last case which is the price dump after you buy, I do not know exactly why it happens, I think there is a manipulation going on.

LOL, nobody said there was a witch or witchcraft in play in the situation, the issue I raised is something almost everyone experienced or still experiencing till date, no matter how we try to explain or give reasons as to why all this things happen, it still does not add up.
Like you clearly attribute the last situation where price dumps after buying to market manipulation, it doesn't add up bro, why would whales wait until you buy before they start manipulating the market? Are they watching you from some kind of mirror somewhere? It's amazing, I personally think that only the universe can truly explain to our human understanding.

It would be a shame if we didn't experience it. Laugh out loud
You are not alone, thousands and even millions of traders must have experienced this moment. I don't know what the reason is, the question that still crosses my mind is: are we really traders or just guessing to enter an unclear entry?

I don't think there's anything wrong here, or that's naturally how the market works, but not every time we get those moments. Usually futures traders will meet positions more often like in the picture. Lucky are long-term holders who always laugh at the mentality of traders who often experience this.
