[Take advantage of crypto volatility] bear or bull market

[Sanitough]

You should have also emphasized on the ugly side of trading too. When a newbie reads you story, they might think trading is as easy as A, B, C and D. You may have made those attractive looking profits but through hurdles of losses

So much as we should take advantage of volatility, we should also have it in mind that it can take advantage us and blow away our accounts if proper risk management is not done.

Simply, crypto volatility do not just bring about profits but definitely inevitable losses as well. And mostly, if you are a beginner trader, and you don’t have the skills and good strategies to use, expect that you will encounter losses at first but this is just normal. However, if we always seize every opportunity that this crypto volatility brings, then this will also be a source of large profits in the end as long as we chose to be more patient and persistent in everything that we do.

Things to Note:
  1. Always apply your stop loss and take profit option
 2. Do not trade with emotions
 3. Have a good source for signal or information about the crypto your trading.
 4. It good to know that your asset can be liquidated when the leverage is high resulting to total loss of funds.

1. Stop loss would be only good if you do make out some scalping but if you are going for long term accumulation or hold then it wont be necessary.
2. Emotion is a powerful thing that could boggle up your mind and distract you if you dont know on how to control.
3. Having some source? Dont rely that much..Nothing beats out if you do rely on your own analysis.
4. 10x leverage or 20x would be enough and dont go further with those numbers

If you do know on what you are doing then its fine but dont end up on having that gambler like mind.

I like it the way he is always in the positive balance all the time and going upwards only. Lately such traders are not found or could have been best strategy of yours.

If I am trading in compounding manner then I would either be loosing my money on some trades or I’m rolling back to the BEP of previous investment. It’s so hard to achieve consistent upward trend these days and in the bearish market it’s even harder.

All I am doing is stopping all the trades and just hodling.

The best thing to do when the market is very unstable is just to keep on hodling, as trading these days are likely to be unprofitable. But there are some good and exceptional traders who still manage to succeed in trading but they are already professionals in their own carreer. However, if you are a regular trader, then just keep on taking advantage on crypto volatility and stay buying and hodling until you start seeing good signals for a profitable trading.

Doing trading on the actual exchange platform is not easy to do, it just looks easy but when you do it it's hard. It's not physically difficult, but it's mentally exhausting while reading the graph on the exchange chart.

Because if you don't have an idea of understanding how to read the actual trading chart, you will depend on the combination of selling and buying, and you don't know when is the right time to buy and sell the token or coins you hold.

That's why it's good to trade without depending on luck or just in case.

Some people taught that trading is gambling where you just go and predict the future and luckily you can win. Trading is very difficult and before you succeeds in trading you most have acquire the basic knowledge and guidelines of trading, that's some of the reasons while some people involved themselves into the disadvantages of cryptocurrency. Because i noticed that without understanding the rudiments of trading first make people to experience huge lose. It's very obvious that trading required attention and concentration and it's also hard to trade and be successful.

crypto future trading enables traders take advantage over bear or bull market and they could be earning profits (either big or small).

Why it should be future trading? It is too risky, not recommended for beginners, even some experienced traders don't want to try it.
I think spot trading is the best choice. If you want to suggest folks, better to suggest spot trading.

Things to Note:
 1. Always apply your stop loss and take profit option
 2. Do not trade with emotions
 3. Have a good source for signal or information about the crypto your trading.

1. If you are a daily trader, I don't think using the stop-loss feature is really necessary. You should always check the market daily, you can directly sell your coins if it is needed. The stop-loss feature is a must if you are holding the coins for a long time (weeks, months, years).

2. It is a must. If you can't control your emotion, you cannot trade. Controlling emotion is a basic obligation in trading. If someone cannot control his emotion, better to not be involved in trading.

3. I think we don't need a signal source. Many of the signal sources are not trustable, some of them mislead people to buy at the wrong time. Even, there are signal sources paid to make a hype of certain coins. Simply don't trust a signal source, better to analyze by ourselves. We can learn how to read the charts, know the fundamental factors, and update the information about the project developments.

3. Have a good source for signal or information about the crypto your trading.

If by this you mean trading signals you can found on groups like discord or telegram then you are likely to lose money if you keep relying on them. Those people sharing trading signals are not some kind of prophet to give accurate information. They just share what they just think of the current market and can still become wrong of their prediction. It's still better to learn trading techniques on your own so you have no one to blame if you lose money.

But if it's information like news then those can be a reliable source because fundamental analysis is also being used when trading cryptocurrencies.

I mean Bitcoin have high volatility which is every investors or traders are choose Bitcoin because of it, so it's not surprising if Bitcoin have a bear and bull market much easier than other commodities. With this, everyone aware and already take advantage due to high volatility, it's either they convert to stable coin or hold it. If anyone can't face bear or bull market on Bitcoin space, they're shouldn't buy Bitcoin and need to learn first.

Everything is on red now even on stocks and even on forex which does simply imply that we are on a bear market or simply having that economic problems which causes on all lots of these.
Doesnt matter whether which market you've been get involved into because everything is really on the bear side which it would really be just right that you should really be wise on taking
up decisions because profitability will really be depending on how much risk you had put into.Market could really be having neither of the two of these conditions on which it would
really be just right that you should take action whenever you do see some opportunity to get in.

As we may have known, bull market is a market that is on the rise and where the conditions of the economy are generally favorable. A bear market exists in an economy that is receding and where most stocks are declining in value (https://www.investopedia.com/insights/digging-deeper-bull-and-bear-markets/)
I was learning how to trade the forex market back in 2019 while I used a broker called IQ option to practice in the demo section, after 2 months I felt I have learnt enough so I decided to put-in real money, so I invested $150 and after two weeks time I earned about $400. Later in 3 weeks time I lost all my earnings including my capital. I tried a different broker called Binary trade, funded the account with $200 and within a month and 2 weeks, I made about $1300, opted out because of series of losses and i starting a business.
later around last year (2021) I studied the future trading option on the binance exchange, and around November during the Bull" market, I was enter  future trading on the binance exchange with BTC/USDT. I invested $1000 and I was able to make $2800, some might say it was a little profit 😹 but what matters was that there was $1800 profit added onto my capital. (I took advantage over the bull market).
  this year (2022) in the month of May,  I invested $500 on Binance future trading and traded Luna/usdt and could make $1400. I took advantage of the market volatility.
crypto future trading enables traders take advantage over bear or bull market and they could be earning profits (either big or small).
 apart from the volatility of Bitcoin and Ethereum, there more Altcoins to trade on binance future that can yield profit.

 When trading futures assets, one must be prepared to encounter losses as well as profit but it's advice to stay clear if you can't manage your risk.

Out of all the things that you have mentioned, the #2 is the hardest to avoid especially when it comes to either bull or bear market. I'm guilty of that to be honest. The #1 note is the 2nd one where I have actually set my stop loss but not when it comes to taking profit in which I am guilty of that as well.

Whatever skills or knowledge that we have, it is so important about managing our risks very well and acknowledge whatever results that we have from the day we set our buying and selling positions.

Volatility plays a important role for those who a regular trader or day trader. The greater the volatility, the greater the opportunity. In this regard traders have to make profits or losses. If this volatility is well exploited and taken advantage it is possible to make good profits very quickly.

Again, many people can take the help of both stop profit or loss mechanism. According to the type of volatility a trader needs to analysis and have to take the decisions.

[jossiel]

Having source of information is vital.

Too many websites that are existing and reporting news relative to the market and economy. And that's why it's an important thing to choose the place or news website where you're getting those information.

Avoid the temptation of being greedy too as you trade to avoid further complication with your trades or else, you'll be missing to make profits.

[ShowOff]

IMO when bear market I mostly take advantage to buy every dip since it's not easy to trade on bear market because it's high chance you will lose and how good are your emotion to control that.

It seems the OP is talking about futures trading, he wants to take advantage of both bullish and bearish market conditions to make a profit. You said something different, it was a spot trade that the OP didn't mention in his thread.

But you need to know to all coins you bought the price will increase when Bitcoin increase, so there's a risk too.

I won't say all altcoins, but most altcoins will follow the movement of the bitcoin market. But I think I understand what you want to say.

That's why many people are interested in crypto trading, one of them is because the price of crypto is very volatile and it provides an opportunity
to generate large profits if we can take advantage of it. But it must be admitted that it is not easy to make profit from crypto trading, because indeed
we must have good analytical skills, in order to predict volatile crypto prices. I am still in the process of learning how to take advantage of volatile
crypto prices to make a profit. Unfortunately the amount of loss I experienced was greater than the profit I made, that's because the predictions I did
were not accurate. But I have not given up and still continue to learn from every mistake I make. I believe as long as I don't give up and continue to
learn to correct every mistake I make, I can become a successful trader.

Trading during this bearish season, with high volatility, is very risky. We may be able to gain some high profits, but the risks are also very high. I don't think that this is recommended for newbies, moreover those who a=only lay on the signal trading.
Moreover, if this is for Future trading, newbies or people who are not common in trading Future is better not to do this during this high volatility. Except that we have been usual, professional, and also able to trade in the Future with certain knowledge, analysis, emotional control, and also taking decisions wisely and appropriately at the right time. Trading future is too complicated.

2. Do not trade with emotions

It may be easy to say, but in fact, many people are failed to practice moreover when the price extremely change very high as we expected. We may feel very afraid to do it, frustrated, and also emotional enough. We must learn much from experiences by paying attention much more on our emotion self and this may be not easy

Emotions is one way people get to gamble over trades. It's your emotions that overrides any thought of you to go by any form of analysis. You just look at the charts for a whole without any news to aid you, no trendline drawings, no indicators except for RIS for the few that cares and the next you know, your in the market, trading it live and that's an easy way to loose money.
Emotions shouldn't be traded.

Best thing any beginner trader ca do in a bearish market is to buy and hold. You just got to learn how to be patient and ensure you buy when the opportunity presents itself.

not just buying and holding, but it's worth paying attention to where is the right time to enter. don't hold on to high prices because it will only wait a long time and the decline occurs again. bear market should be exploited properly. learning some tools for technical will be very useful. Learn gradually and don't always be a beginner.

Crypto volatility should always be taken advantage of in a bear market as the prices of all tokens fall significantly from their all-time highs in a bear market.And there are always huge profits to be made by trading in cryptocurrency in the bear market.Because when the market is in a bullish condition, all tokens are overvalued and buying there can lead to losses.Because it is the nature of the market that the bull and bear cycles keep changing after some time.So always wait for bear market. Coins taken in bear market can double your profit when bull market starts.However, if there is high volatility within a currency, it should be bought at a low price and should be sold immediately when the price is high.And prices are always lower in the bear market.so bear market is always best for take advantage of crypto volatility.

Some says it was the altcoins which volatility is higher than in bitcoin but I think I can agree with you better that it was really btc and not altcoins as I also observe the movement of btc from time to time.

High volatility works best in trading than in investing because you can frequently buy and sell and make unlimited profits than if you are only hodling them for long term which can give you a lot of delays since the price can't really go up consistently. The bears and bulls on the other hand doesn't occur because btc is volatile but it occurs because this is how a financial market works. Stocks and other markets do also have this kind of phenomenon.

Whether the market is bear or bull it is very important for use to ways take opportunity either to buy more holdings or take some profits. The expert traders know how to do this perfectly without having to look at what others intend to do. The market is a ace where we but and sell based on the way we see the market.

Some newbie traders still see the bear a way to step out of the market based on their fear and with the question "what if the market goes opposite." Why don't have to border much on what we think or others think about the market.

 Now the price of cryptocurrencies had gone down so we can always keep buying because surely price is still going to go bull whether now or later.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

-  You should also know that in the crypto trading industry there is a good and bad sides to it. So it's good to always say the bad side so that a new community here can see that entering the trading industry as crypto is not easy.

That's why the income here is not only dependent on the rise in the price value of the coin or token. But with the rise and fall of its value in the market. And that has been happening for several years here through the volatility of bitcoin and other altcoins.

So as an individual trader here you must also admit to yourself that you are ready to lose at any time or period.
