How to avoid stress in a market crash

[Cryptohunterkill]

To me there is no how I'm going to avoid stress in market crash, that is why I always advise my friends and my  relation that they should not put their egg in one basket, so that if one basket break you will now switch to another basket.

I agree with you, staying away from the market and limiting information during a crisis is a good way to maintain mental health. In fact, times of crisis like this are a good opportunity to grow and learn. Staying away from the market and limiting information indirectly calms the mind, and there are many more things to grow and learn. Managing emotions, improving your mindset, learning about investing, and communicating with the community or other investors will make us more productive. Remember, investing isn't just about transactions, but also about learning. This also depends on each person's perspective.

[Out of mind]

In my opinion, if an investor follows your advice during a market crash, then he may be mentally very strong. Many people face huge losses during a market crash, some people cannot control themselves after seeing them, rather they break down mentally, that is why it is necessary for them to adopt this method. However, I think no investor will do this because they always try to stay updated, moreover, no one can be without online nowadays. You can keep yourself busy with physical activities for a short time, but for a long time, you must turn on the internet, no one can be without internet nowadays, it will be very challenging. Those who are real investors will never hesitate to delete exchanges, moreover, only those who are patient and can control themselves mentally completely will be able to do these suggestions.

Implementing those prescribed steps to reduce stress that could be triggered by the dips from the market which wasn't what we had expected upon investing into the bull season,  the suggestions are irrelevant for those investors that have their investment rightly planned with a strategic model which should be in the long term. 

Every seasoned investor under the importance of staying updated with market events in other to plan the next move but how can he do this if he has to switch off, delete  and keep off from the internet where he would be getting the relevant informations to be updated. An investor that trust the asset he's banking on would never do all those things in the OP even in times of market uncertainty.

If you are being stressed out by the markets that means you have too much money invested.  If you do not want to invest less money but want to have a greater peace of mind, you need to diversify your portfolio more.  With asset prices all at highs right now, it could be scary to even try to find a place to put your money.  That's why diversification is the best way to remain invested and not stress yourself out.  Get some regular income investments, some growth investments, and some value investments to go along with your risky Bitcoin and pay off all your debt.  You'll sleep better at night.

Yup, also it is not about that putting all the eggs in the one basket like you put all your money in one coin, it is more like that you invest with a proper mindset and in this case the position sizing matters a lot.

For me I believe that maximum a person should use 5% of our wallet for every trade (less even better) so that if any trade goes wrong or if the coins get into the downtrend for a longer duration or you get liquidated it doesn't affect your overall portfolio and that will make you at a piece of mind.

We know that some people can't help themselves in panic and have the intention to sell their losses.

The best way for me to relieve stress during market crashes like now is to;

• Stopping all price update notifications
• Deleting exchange apps (if you have them on an exchange)
• Not playing too much on the internet
• Focusing on the real world
• Keeping myself busy doing physical activities

Are there any other ways you can suggest?

If we have a strong foundation of knowledge and experience in crypto and know what we're buying, why stress? Stress can actually be an enemy that we should avoid, isn't it true that many investors like the decline and welcome it with a smile when beginners panic and sell their assets? and this is certainly a golden opportunity to accumulate our assets at the lowest price. In this case, we should not panic and stress when prices experience a significant decline, we can learn from previous experiences if we have ever entered the world of investment. Experience is your best teacher in investing. Many people have become successful in investing thanks to learning from their experiences.

Yes you are right, it is certainly true that if someone invests a lot of money, then if it starts to fall, then it is natural that he will get stressed because if the market goes down, his loss rate increases a lot, so he is forced to get stressed. But if you invest with a small amount, then even if you lose that little money, you will not suffer much loss or you will not get stressed, this is the reality. However, since Bitcoin is more profitable in long-term investment, we should invest for the long term and hold on to it if we invest with a small amount so that we do not put pressure on ourselves. If we are under pressure in investment, then we will not be able to invest for the long term, later we will sell it and face a loss, so we will invest with a small amount for the long term to stay stress-free, this will be useful for us. Yes, if you can stay stress-free, then you will always be good and you can focus on other things besides investing.

That might really be helpful, but firstly you will have the mindset not to sell, if you don’t have the mindset, then you will always be tempted to download the exchange back even after deleting it, so it’s just better you don’t disturb yourself deleting the exchange, because you going to end up downloading it back.

• Not playing too much on the internet
• Focusing on the real world

Focusing on the real world and not playing on the internet sounds similar to me, I think that’s also a good idea, if you can keep yourself busy, then your attention won’t really be in the coin which you are holding, but if you are less busy, if you are in a place on your mobile device, then you will check your coin more often than when you are busy.

What if the other basket breaks too? We've seen it so often when Bitcoin's price corrects, and almost all altcoins experience the same thing, although the percentage of correction varies from one to the other within the market. It's true that different baskets can be used when investing, such as some in crypto and others outside of crypto, which can lead to different levels of risk. But if everything is in crypto with different coin names, I've found that when bad market conditions occur, all coins experience the same impact.

For me, it's very simple, and what I do is increase my closeness to God. It can also be a way to calm myself and relieve stress, and calming myself during a sluggish market, other than not opening the market, has become a primary option. However, that doesn't mean I have to stop using the internet, as it can be a source of entertainment without having to open the market. Furthermore, regular exercise can also help reduce stress and improve health. I usually go to the gym or go for a run because it tires me out and quickly relaxes me, allowing me to forget about the market, and positive activities can help me forget about things that stress us out.

There needs to be diversification, but it should not only be in name but also in the actual risk profile. Many people think they are diversifying by investing in different cryptos, but in reality, the entire market goes down at the same time, so they don't make a profit. I think that in addition to crypto, you should also invest in places that are not directly related to it such as real estate, gold or even some stable stocks, so that even if the market goes down at least all the losses will not be simultaneous. Although crypto has potential in the long term, it is risky to consider it as the only refuge.

Definitely there is need for diversification, to reduce or spread the impact of risk on our investment. It is a wrong idea for an investor that wants to diversify his assets in bitcoin to other crypto currency. Since bitcoin is correlated to crypto currency, we won't be spreading or reducing risk there by it won't look like we are diversifying. Just like what you putting one income into asset that correlateed is wrong since if one of the asset goes down it will definitely affect the rest.

Let assuming you off your notifications, delete exchange apps and still focus on the real world,  can stop people leaving around you from not telling you the current price situation in the parallel market, all those prevention measures that you just listed is fine but there are things that you can limit your self from, like news or social media were must come across the current price Bitcoin no matter how you try to limit yourself from the fluctuation of Bitcoin, the best way which i think you should do to avoid the stress of Bitcoin in parallel market is knowing your stands, that no matter how Bitcoin will fluctuate in market, you have target already on how were you want Bitcoin to run, so what you really need is to build up discipline if you don't any and be patient of of yourself because before you embark on Bitcoin investment you already have the ideas on how Bitcoin works in the parallel market.

When we talk about portfolio diversification, it means we need to invest in different and unrelated assets. If we only invest in the crypto market, no matter how many coins we hold. It cannot be called diversification. This is a misconception that I see only newbies making, experienced investors will not make this silly mistake.

Diversification is only true and meaningful when we allocate capital into different assets in different markets.

Many people think holding different coins means they are diversified but inside the crypto market everything is still connected when Bitcoin drops the whole market bleeds the difference is only in how deep each coin falls that’s why true diversification goes beyond crypto it means spreading money into different areas that don’t move together like real estate stocks commodities or even small businesses when one side goes down another might still be stable and that balance keeps your overall capital safer. Putting all your money in crypto is like stacking all your eggs in one fragile basket because the market follows the same rhythm no matter how many altcoins you hold during a crash their correlation with Bitcoin makes them sink together so even though you feel like you have variety what you really have is one category moving under the same pressure.

The goal of diversification isn’t just about holding many things it’s about mixing risk types when some assets rise others might fall but your total portfolio stays steady this reduces emotional stress during market crashes because you don’t see everything collapsing at once and it gives you room to recover faster. For people who invest long term the safest path is to balance investments between high risk and low risk assets Bitcoin can still be part of the portfolio but it shouldn’t be the whole picture stable income sources and less volatile assets give support during bad times it’s all about protecting your peace as much as your money because stress from a crash can make people panic sell at the worst time spreading your investments smartly helps you stay calm and stay in the game longer.

None of these actions are solvable. When the market starts falling, you have to be patient and live your life normally. If you try to escape from normal life, you may behave abnormally and people may even think you are crazy. In matters related to money, you have to choose a safe place where you can remain normal in any situation. Therefore, always use discretionary funds to invest and associate funds that you can afford to lose with the investment. When you invest in funds that can afford to lose, you will not worry about the rise or fall in price because you do not need the amount of funds you have allocated at the moment.

Yes you are right.  The things the OP mentioned to me is like putting oneself into unnecessary . The best way is just self control and having a good understanding of how the market works this will really help on how one responds in terms of a dip. Also another thing that will help is having a high risk tolerance because without this, all what the OP said won't work at all.

• Keeping myself busy doing physical activities

It is normal for the Bitcoin market to be bullish or bearish. But if investors panic about it after investing, it will be difficult for them to hold Bitcoin. When the market goes to a negative level, many people lose control, which forces them to sell. Whenever the market crashes, you should restrain yourself and refrain from researching the market. Those who are prudent investors are patient during this time and try to increase their investment a little more according to their ability. Those who have confidence in Bitcoin accept the market decline as a positive, because of which they can gain more from their investment. I think it will be most effective to keep yourself away from Bitcoin price review and focus on something else during the market crash.

[Woodie]

I like all the advice that has been pointed out in the OP, but for people like us here on the forum that have experienced and seen these kind of market cycles that repeat all the time , I think we should be immune to these and need not to panic or get stressed over thing's we have experienced several times...

And best antidote to this is to stay away from that internet connected phone or PC and you should be okay.
