What I did is that I keep myself focused on small earnings rather than hunting big. I take the opportunity to sell when there is a price increase and not wait for its peak, at least if I could make 1% of every successful trade, I'm already happy and feel safe. It is really a matter of choice of coins and I use different styles of trading depending on the situation. Sometimes we also apply holding especially in times of correction. We need to listen to the market movements and not all the time is good for trading, there is time also to pause and wait for the price to recover as it is difficult to trade when the trend is declining.

If you know the currency is not stable and cant predict the good time to trade then its better not to trade, that is also why its better that you have a lot of options, I mean is that I personally have some currency that I currently engaging so that if I dont see a clear view, price movement or prediction in one of the currency I'm investing in then I would look for the other currencies , that's why I dont understand others that they despise altcoins, altcoins are profitable you just need to find the altxoins that has the potential through analysis and such, and based on my experience and trading, I'm saying that I still earning while trading some altcoins and sometimes in shit coins, you just need to make your own opportunity.  So that you could make any currency profitable on your own, skills, knowledge, and experience are very important.

It is not mandatory to always trade as a trader.

A big part of the skills in trading is also knowing when to trade and when not to trade, and times of uncertainty are one period where a trader has to totally avoid trading. It is wise not to trade during such times. During uncertain time, decision-making are mostly based on assumptions. When you are unsure of the direction of the market as a trader, it is best to just observe the market and see it's behavior, so you can learn for another time when you see the same movements.

Trading is mostly profitable if you know the market is favorable to trade, but if there is uncertainty and you are not confident on your trading strategy, or whether it will work or not, it’s best to just leave the market as it is and don’t risk your funds in trading. Sometimes, the best way to stay profitable is to never trade at all, most especially if the market seems to be not going on your side.

Trading is not just a skill game, but definitely a mental game as well. Knowing when to trade and when not to shows that you are trading responsibly, by not chasing profits even if the market is incapable to.

I'm using dual investment at binance trading, and I saw stable profit despite of uncertainty. Though I gain lesser returns it seems I got stable and secure trading and I definitely made my asset more secured compared with other ways like with futures. I haven't experienced yet with stablecoins, only ethereum was the one I got for a meanwhile because that's more profitable than other alts in my own opinion.

I usually use stable coins to park capital before making a purchase, so that if the price enters the buying area, then I can buy with that stable coin. Indeed, trading on large exchanges is more profitable, and also don't forget to choose the top coins to make trading pairs, because it will be easier to analyze them, rather than new coins which are more volatile.

In uncertain, I trade more patience and can't make short term trading target behind many altcoins or bitcoin its self price stuck and difficult raise to higher price. Its my way of trading when uncertain time but every trader has their own way or strategies keep effective earn profitable although in uncertain time in trading.
For me, keep focus with not many coins for checking or analyzing because always get separated few percent moving up or down and take opportunity as more patience waiting when raising more lower price. Indeed get more longer time waiting price moving up but its most effective strategies trading when uncertain moment in trading. Don't make your self on pressure when trading should be taking profit in daily day or not behind market price can't moving up in short term.

It's a nice enquiry, but first know that the traders/investors who are trading long-term do not have to worry much about the uncertainty of the market. All they need to do is to ensure that they know their technical levels to know what the market is doing, and since they are trading long term, it will be difficult for the market to hit the levels that they will consider as a reversal that would warrant them to either close their trade, liquidate it or the trade hit the stop loss by itself. Emphatically, technical analysis is the best type of analysis in the market, this is unless you do not know how to use it well, as it will tell traders everything possible they need to know regarding the market and will also suggest to them what they will have to do in any market situation.

However, in uncertain times, the market can be so unpredictable, so if I am a short-term trader, I will not bother myself to trade at that time, that's just the solution. Otherwise, you will be wasting money over and over again because the market could be confirming the buy signal and sell signal at almost the same time. Nonetheless, if it is an investment, then it is safer, and you can hold your investment because it is not something that will be affected so much in this situation since it is all about long-term analysis and pattern, so it is mostly covered during uncertain times.

I only advise traders to liquidate their position in investment only if the monthly chart turns bearish in a more determined view.

We need to know for beginners before entering the world of investment or trading in it that prices need to be known that no one can predict accurately, investing is full of risks. Not all alts are hated by everyone, typical people are of course different in determining their targets in choosing the assets they want to own, investors still have a lot of interest in alts, meaning alts that have very good quality or fundamentals. Agree with what you said, we can't just focus on one asset, we can look at other assets to get income or profits from investments Experience is very valuable or very important in choosing an asset

Maybe just not trade at all if you are not certain about what you are doing? I personally understand the logic that you want to make sure you know what you are doing, but sometimes we need to realize that we are not really doing anything that we need to be doing. Some people make some money the way they want to make and some people just lose money in the end, there is really nothing that could stop that, and we should consider getting better with time.

I personally believe that the best thing to do would be just recovering from this fact and not going on it at all. If you fear that the times are uncertain and trading is hard, just stop and keep it long term and hold until you find times to be a lot better eventually.

To be honest this is the time when traders make most profit as I personally try investing more time into trading because fluctuations allows us to increase the trade frequency and slightly increased the profit margin we set of trading grid wherein sideways market is the worst thing where we don't get much. It's simple during the uncertain market as there would be multiple fluctuations allowing us to increase the total trades. But it doesn't have to be same for everyone as I am sharing my strategy.

One secret you are not going to hear much about, but that is used by experimented traders is that if for some reason you do not feel comfortable with the way the market is behaving, you can simply stay out of it and stop trading for a time, it is not really an elaborate strategy or anything like that, but it is very effective, since you can avoid trading during the times in which the market is presenting some erratic movements and save yourself from trading under those difficult conditions.

So, what strategies can you advise especially in protecting our capital, some technical analysis strategies? OR some diversification tactics between stablecoins, bitcoin, or altcoins?

In trading, every trader has their own strategy; they have their own method that always favours them; they don’t really depend on different methods; most of them use one strategy, so to me, I can’t advise any trader or give them any tips right now because before trading, they all have their own knowledge and tips they use. So you can see that giving them my own method now will make some of them confused, especially those who are new to trading or those who have already gotten used to only one method. So you can see that giving them another method may be a higher risk for them because they may not have used such a method before.

Exactly what I’m trying to say, the strategy we use is not the same, so to me, it is improper to share our strategy, though many traders hide it because most of them don’t want people to know the type of strategy that they use. However, I also think this is another opportunity for traders that have knowledge of trading because the market is rising, as we can see, just like you did too, and I believe you testify to it because I also have people close to me who are knowledgeable traders that are making profit out of their trades these days.

For me, I have many strategies so that if one doesn't work, the other will work for me. So if I want to trade in uncertain times, I will first and for all, go and do research about it or I ask experience traders who are already into the system before I do, from what they said, I will then know if I should go ahead or not and this case, I might not trade with all my capital, so that I won't be at loss for the sake of my mental health.

To be honest, it’s hard to trade when you are uncertain with how the market moves. Instead of chasing profit opportunity, it might even bring you losses if you force to trade while there are uncertainties in the market. Even trading experts do not trade all the time, as they also need to analyze first whether the market is favorable to trade or not, otherwise they will end up with inevitable losses in trading. I suggest if you are not sure with the outcome of your trade, don’t trade. Traders should know when to trade and when not to.

Honestly, we are all experiencing and feeling up on the same way on the moment that we've seen that the market is really that moving without basing any technical analysis or even basing up with
some fundamentals but it doesnt getting in line with those sentiments, then it would really be just that normal that you would really be having those kind of doubts whether you should really be proceeding or making up some trading or not. It would really be just that up to you since not all would be that good when it comes to decision making on which they would really be still proceeding on doing such act because
they've been really that still that positive that whatever things or decisions that they would make will really be that resulting into positive on which it is really that a very wrong approach or belief
that you do have in mind. If you are in doubt then its not bad to take up some break and wait for the market to settle down.

Always buy when the price dumps and hold, that's what I always do to secure my bitcoin holdings. start accumulating bitcoin and do money management to make repeat purchases when the bitcoin price crashes. My main price target will be higher and that is for the long term. Everyone has their own strategy depending on how much capital they have or the target price they want to achieve.

I have to agree. Do not chase for big profits in trading most especially when you are trading while the market is uncertain. Instead, learn to accept small profits and be satisfied with it, as not all traders have the potentials to earn when the market is showing no positivity. Or you can always chose not to trade and just observe the market first, and come back to trade only when you see bigger chances for a successful trading. Reality is a good trader should not  be trading and hunt big profits at all times, because that will only push yourself to lose an amount you can’t afford to risk.

I have to agree. Do not chase for big profits in trading most especially when you are trading while the market is uncertain.

Experienced traders know time to stay silently and do nothing, no trade in the market. When the market is uncertain for its next movement and trend, the best practice is do nothing, don't trade is best.

If you trade, you will put yourself in risk of bad control. I understand that don't chase big profit looks to be safe practice but it is not as good as don't trade.

There are a lot of time and chances in future to trade so let's skip uncertain market time.

Instead, learn to accept small profits and be satisfied with it, as not all traders have the potentials to earn when the market is showing no positivity.

Reality is a good trader should not  be trading and hunt big profits at all times, because that will only push yourself to lose an amount you can’t afford to risk.

This is a good recommendation, I agree with you.

In any market, always use Stop loss or Stop limit order to avoid market crash and avoid big loss.

It is very important that traders means their risk management and how how to mean it work for them so that they don't end up crashing their trading accounts. In this time when the market is uncertain, we need to be very conscious of how many trades we are taking per day so that so we don't risk too much to make nothing. The market is volatile and we'll have to know how we enter trades so that we don't have to keep taking trades when anything can happen in the market that could make us lose trades.

Having come from prop firm trading I have learnt that risk management is a skill every trader needs to learn, and when it comes to protecting capital this will depend on how much capital you have...if amount you have is a lump sum then you are better off risking about 0.5%-1% per trade while if amount is much small you can increase your risk appetite to say 10% of capital per trade because at the end of the day this is not a play day people need to get paid and pay bills as we ain't getting younger...

My trading strategy is based on smart money concepts and to give myself a winning chance I trade on the 15m and 1 hour timeframes ..anything lower has alot of noise and anything higher means waiting days before my setup plays out especially that am an intraday trader so I like to be in and out of the markets as quick as possible.
