Why Does This Always happen?

[suzanne5223]

Op, at some point no cryptocurrency investor don't experience what you experienced but the bottom line of making a profit in crypto is seeing it as an asset rather than a quick scheme to make a quick profit and always set a clear target for your investment this is what I believe will prevent selling at all cost because the Op, seems to see his alternative/emergency fund.

[LUCKMCFLY]

This is very normal when we trade without having a fixed plan and we get carried away by the news or by the advice of others, when we have this type of doubt that usually happens, besides emotions take a big toll when we get carried away, then it causes that we enter the sale (where it is cheaper) and we sell in the purchase (where it is cheaper) these things are done backwards, but it is also due to lack of experience, this is what usually happens at first and many people are disappointed.

I thought I was the only one dealing with such market conditions; I always take my time to research a coin before buying it, but once I do, the coin starts to drop; if I lose patience and sell it, the coin starts to rise again; I'm not sure why; sometimes I think I don't have enough patience, and sometimes I think I do, and it's just time to sell. I'm not sure if it's my destiny.

You dont have enough patience and this is a very common behavior on which you do really mess up with your trades because you are impulsive on whats the market price but well this is a common

reaction when you are still noob and isnt really good on handling out your emotions plus lacking up some knowledge then you would really be having a big problem.
You arent the only ones who do really have this kind of problem and for sure that majority of us does experience this shitty situation on where things or price do
goes to opposite side.

[Webetcoins]

Obviously, this is a traders’ fallacy and it is very normal for people who do not know how the market may react. Finally, we are talking about people making a bit of a big deal whenever the market does something they did not expect and that is really not much of a deal.

I personally feel like if you knew the price moved between 38k to 42k for the past month, you would know that it was time to go up, and take advantage of yesterdays move. That wasn't really shocking and it is just one example. But, if you saw it at 38k and think it came from 42k to 38k, and think it may have gone down even more and sold, then it went up, you would be like OP.

I'd found no exemption from not experiencing this one, it always comes even though we don't like it.
Trading sometimes becomes imperfect, we thought that buying today will pump by tomorrow or in the next few days but unfortunately, it never goes like that, it usually comes in a different direction.

As traders, we don't have to think like we can make a profit instantly. Trading it wasn't just all about strategies and skills, we'll somehow know how to hold as well.

I do understand how OP felt when he posted this thread I mean I have same experienced when it comes to failed trading and same as what OP had illustrated. But like what I have experienced whenever I have sell my crypto sometimes it is inevitable that I can feel frustrate and regret that I haven't wait for the high price but then I just always think that at that price where I sold my asset was a perfect time for me to sell because this was the time I need to sell. The crypto market is very unpredictable and I just make every trading a great opportunity for me learn and grow.

The market is unpredictable, so always do a thorough analysis before deciding which coin to buy and feel good with what you have.

There's a reason the market is unpredictable. Even with all your analysis and backtesting, you still won't be perfect in predicting the next move of the market. This is why that caveat of, "investing only what you can lose" is necessary for every new trader to memorize and make a daily business anthem. I've come to conclude that the best way to trade the market and be profitable is to do it without any encumbrances and pressure. Just trade with ease and not put pressure of what one is likely going to do with the targeted profit even when it's very far from made.

[wozzek23]

The fact that people all think that this happens is the proof that it can't always happen. Why? Because, reality is that we can't ALL buy and sell at the same time, it is impossible for us to buy and sell at the same time. Which means that it can't be happening, you feel like it happens, and you do face this a few times for sure, but it can't be like this forever, it is just a lucky or more like unlucky chance that you hit this and that is how you get here.

Moreover, we should not be really shocked about the results, we should be a bit more shocked about how we could predict it, but reverse version. In reality that could be used to profit as well.

Anyone who is investing or trading under pressure is bound to make serious mistakes. We all need a really calm and focused mind to put things in the right way. And sure the anthem is always to make sure that what we are risking in the market is what we can do it with, if not, it is going to really affect you later.

Most people who make this mistake of investing too much are some newbies that are not aware of the risks and thinks that Bitcoin is a gold mine where they would get rich easily, not knowing that there are more people losing money in the market than there are those who are making money. With the right knowledge and hard work, everything can be put in place.

haha this is a meme of fellow merchants that I always see everywhere, not only on social media, but in the real world this meme is very popular,
indeed the thing that makes traders feel confused is when they buy the price goes down, and when they sell it the price goes up, haha , be patient you are not alone, 
but I am sure this meme will not apply to old traders, because it is all from our own fault, and of course it can be a valuable lesson to be better.

And there is a very clear reason for that, after all who has not experienced something like this happening to them? I remember that back then when I still invested in altcoins I invested in a project that I thought it had a future and I held my coins for two years, what did I got during those two years? Nothing except a lot of headaches.

So I got tired of holding my position and I sold, then a week later the coin in a single day gave 200% in profits, and you may guess that I was incredibly disappointed by what happened, but at least I did not made the mistake of buying back that coin after selling it, since then it experimented a massive crash and it never recovered.

I'm not sure if it's my destiny.

Just learn from that experience, we do get that experience that whenever we sell, the price rises and the same when do the other. It's funny but it's the reality that we have to deal with.
The unpredictability of the market despite being known to the condition of it is really going to kick us if we're not prepared with what we're about to do. That's why sell and forget and the same with buy and forget.

Almost all traders I think have experienced something like that and it can be said that it is a common thing in crypto,
it's true learn from the experience and of course evaluate by doing their own analysis,
the more experience makes us better in the future

All of us have went through this part and that is normal because who we are to predict whats going to happen anyway? but since we already know that anything is possible, we should not complain about our moves. What important there is you have made a move because there is a chance to earn if ever what you predicted have occurred.

It's fine for traders to think like that, that they can make an easy profit because they are actively buying and selling but that it was unusual to think like that if you are just investing for long term. Usually as a long time holder, your profit expectations are much higher than what a trader can think of so you wont sell whenever there is a small increase.

The ups and downs of the crypto market have become commonplace, especially for a trader where it has become daily food and we must be able to accept it. If asked whether or not, of course, I have also been in that position and what I feel is endless regret stops. but if we only regret without any changes or learning then it will forever be a regret.. so from that, I learned from previous experiences that it will be very helpful for the next trading. the crypto market will continue to go up and down, so we have to be able to keep up with it and think well so we can follow it properly and make a profit.

Crypto market has became a common place where traders get their daily food to feed their families in the community. Despite the market situation people are experiencing from crypto market few months ago,it has helped many people to learn from other people mistakes not to sell in this bear market than to wait for the price to increase higher before they can sell to make a good profit.  Think wisely before releasing your coins for sale because crypto market will not remain in pumping through out the year or dumping through out the year,so we need to sell our coins whenever the price of crypto increase higher in the market to make profit.

This is normal and we should always remember that the market is unpredictable but you can always avoid losing big money especially if you know how to take profit and how to cut loss.

Analysis is a big key factor here because you will not buy that much on a crashing market, you have to wait for the good signal if its ok to buy now or wait for a deeper prices. Don’t get too emotional here, fix yourself and know what to do next.

Not that this is normal but this is what 80-90% of traders experience whenever they sell, buy, or HODL their coins. Given that the nature of trading is absolutely volatile, no one can accurately predict what the market situation would become in the following days, weeks, months, and/or years.

That is why whenever a person trades, it is essential and paramount that you develop your respective contingencies and goals in the following days. Always note the maximum tolerance you can handle before you sell your coins in a given price.

[sulendra12]

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" 😂.

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

I do! and I beat almost everyone in here also experiences the same stuff like us. It feels like the market is waiting for us to do something and then do the opposite to what we have been thinking a whole time and make every decision we have made is basically pointless at this point. Even though you could minimalize those risks by using some strategies and such but it's just so funny to see those kind of stuff when you do trading.

But what most important thing there is you gain profit whenever you sell your token since its really bad to buy high and sell low when you do trades since we know emotions really affect our patience if we do trades. Lets forget about this mindset which we regret on our decision made when price shoot up, we should always put on our minds that profit is profit even if the percentage you gain is low and we can bounce back again after some sort of correction happen and enter in best position we can possibly get.

[tbterryboy]

I do have such experience, and it has happened to me several times. It even happened to me yesterday, although not in a position where I ended up with loss. I was going to sell a small part of bitcoin yesterday, although the market was up a bit, my instinct told me that the market would go up a bit more today, but after having a second thought about it, I felt that it wasn’t safe since the market can as well go down, so it was best that I did the transaction yesterday, at least the market was up a bit.

So, I finally did the transaction, and I woke up today and checked and my instinct was right, the market did go up and I regretted making that transaction yesterday, would have been better today as I would stand to gain even more.

When you do still end up on the same behavior then try  to realize things and then try to inverse everything that you had done until you do able to find out for yourself if it would really be that effective

because trading is something that do really need to make out some adjustments and be versatile on various conditions which would really be needing for you to adjust accordingly.
Yes, frustrations would be really be common due to different results or outcomes but just have a good hold with it and adjust accordingly.

This is the part that is so important. I have been full-time in crypto for the past 6 years and I can tell you that if I wasn't in crypto, I would have been a horrible right now and would either be unemployed or would be earning so much less. Thanks to crypto, I have been earning a good income, and managed to save some money aside, and even my investments grew exponentially as well and I am very glad about it.

There are so many people all around the world who are living like me. Not many nations offer 500+ dollars a month as salary, but that is not a big amount at all for the western nations, this is just earning, when it comes to trading it becomes even bigger difference.
