What is your trading strategy?

[izlevinv]

When you are depending on that graph you need to have a more time so you can really manage not to lose money in trading and save some extra bitcoin in the next  dont panic when the price is low wait for it always to be high again and everything will be fine.

waiting for the price to rise high sometimes just working is it does but i'd prefer to cut lose if the specific coins seems don't have a good future to prevent from having such a big lose like zcash which had been falling down recently from 1btc to about 0.3btc and that's such a pain in the ass

Lol, my strategy is to buy a bitcoin when there were negative news and the price dropped as a result of bad news. Then holding it for a couple of weeks and sell it out when hit the higher price. Its all people know this. I guess unnecessarily this discussing about this further.

Majority of users will follow the same strategy that will buy when price drops and hold it till it doesn't reaches to your desire level but there are many people who gets panic when price starts dropping and start selling their coins at lower price so in  that case we should take advantage of that scenario by buying at lower price.

My trading strategy is always for long term. I stock some altcoins for a couple of weeks or months and wait the right time to sell it. I don't do some short trades because you have to concentrate from it all time. And also i don't let my emotions get over when i'm trading. I'f i sell some altcoin but stil its price rise even higher i don't regret the chance of selling it. No one can say what will happen tomorrow on trading.

Buy low when price is in correction rally, sell when price get pumped hard within 24 hour. With every sudden high price pump, correction will come. And also buying alts with high volume when bitcoin price is correcting is best way to profit from every bitcoin/altcoin price swing.

There are many great trading strategies out there, and purchasing books or courses does save time, but trading can also be a "do it yourself" career. Many traders spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars looking for a great trading strategy. Building strategies can be fun, easy and surprisingly quick.To create a strategy, you will need access to charts which reflect the time frame to be traded, an inquisitive and objective mind and a pad of paper to jot down your ideas. These ideas can then be formalized into a strategy and "visually backtested" on other charts. In this article, we go over this process from start to finish including the questions to ask along the way. Then you'll be ready to start creating your own strategies in any market and on any time frame.

Would you suggest Excel or other means of organizing data? You seem to be well learned in the ways of trading.

I actually use excel, easier to track your record and it's simple to use, you do not need to be good in programming as I believe it's very basic and even at real life work we are required to learn excel.

but by using your strategy you must be prepared because if the coin get really bad news that could affect the entire system of the coin,people would lost interest of the coin and maybe there's no one buying on the market,as a result,your funds getting trapped into the coin's market,be careful with that strategy

My strategy for trading bitcoin is buy  when there is a good correction and when it hits the bottom. And sell when it starts ti rally again.

For Alt Coins I would suggest getting into a pump group and trade with bitcoin that you don't mind throwing away because Alt Coin trading is damn risky. You can buy into some if you don't mind waiting for couple of months.

Joining pump groups is a horrible suggestion. Especially because of the fact that they buy themselves into a certain coin first, and after that they tell people being part of that group to do the same. What happens is that these people are in fact being repsonsible for the price of a certain coin to go up significantly. Use your imagination of what the operators of such groups will do once the price has gone up significantly.... The majority of these people will end up holding the well known bag.

You can buy into some if you don't mind waiting for couple of months. 

In 95% of the cases altcoins are extremely short term investments. People are just hopping from coin to coin, depending on which one is subject to a short lasting rally. It changes nearly every week. It's pure gambling since people just carelessly throw their money into altcoins.

I published my strategy at http://bitcoinstrategy.org

Accumulate.  Technicals show H&S bottoms on Day, Year, and ALL

There's not fix method here because it's the actual market and you need to update yourself with the right information. Buying every time it's low is not a good idea as it does not work all the time.

 buy low sell high

[raven7886]

My strategy for trading bitcoin is buy  when there is a good correction and when it hits the bottom. And sell when it starts ti rally again.

You mean you will wait infinitely to have market corrections or you will be trading regularly with the daily fluctuations? Because to have bottom you need to wait long time, but every day market give some correction as per pivot point analysis, is that enough for you to trade?

For Alt Coins I would suggest getting into a pump group and trade with bitcoin that you don't mind throwing away because Alt Coin trading is damn risky. You can buy into some if you don't mind waiting for couple of months. 

Alt coins are not that much risky when you are going with some stable and reputed altcoins. But getting into insider group is not possible all the traders, but must be a good idea to have better results with altcoins trading.

That's one of the reasons to stop investing based solely on hype. I will not say that zcash is a scam, but it has been overhyped, for months, and the launch was a tragedy, for most investors. I think only a few insiders and lucky users have made a good profit out of it.

Btc-e has an mt4 platform you can trade on with up to 3x leverage afaik.Get some indicators (technical analysis) and try different settings but you would add the news/chatter(fundamental analysis) to compliment indicators.

Here is a snapshot taken from an M30/30 minute chart using a harmonic indicator and a few different MA settings.The set up gave a correct signal to show the resistance level and the retractment but all signals lag unless you get the settings spot on to suit the volumes and buy/sell pressures(depth) etc.

yes that is a fact that some time booking a little lost is good as it can prevent you from making a big lost, therefore you must always be careful while taking a decision as some time your lost can be proof as good for you .

Simple strategy will work like share trading, because you can hold it until you want, so no pressure you to sell, I am using averaging strategy, when the price drop, I will buy again, when the price up I sell some of them, then wait for the drop.  There is no matter which time you enter, only matter is you must have some good amount of money and trade with small percentage.

[CAMOPEJB]

I wonder if the big sharks who trade options and forex made the jump to trading crypto currency. I bet if you have experience trading in the real market, this would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Those you mentioned is totally basic rules for the traders of doing in all trading exchange platform. That's the same thing what I did for my daily routine in  the exchange sites.

The few times I have traded it was after listening to bitcoin podcasts for days and I felt I had some little incite.  Believe me, listening to people discuss crytos for a few days is not enough.
