If I set a 3% loss on my initial investment as a stop loss and a 10% profit as a stop for selling, will that make me trade too often ?

You can apply daily or short trading, of course, plans and strategies are very important to be able to bring profit, especially in the difficult situation at this time.
I also trade with a lot of altcoins, but basically analysis research looking for all information is the most important thing.

One of my early mistakes in trying to trsde with stop loss, was trying to avoid not losing much eventually lost huge, 3% loss could be applicable for 5mins  to 15 mins charts, where one has to monitor the screen always but may make lower profit. This is usually very tasking and draining. The best however used to ensure a very good entry and a reasonable support and set a stop loss at around 10% and trade long for few hours to some days. Best bet for me. Gives me control of my time and not watching the screen all the time

maybe a 10% profit will make you trade frequently, you can continue to increase profits to 20% if you are already a professional trader. and you can make this as a benchmark for your profit.

Yeah that's a nice idea but i think your profit is quite high. I know crypto can give you more profit than that in a day but I think if you have enough money, a 3-5% is somehow okay. For your stop loss, it's good and somehow safe.

Logic is definetly there however if you used this during the bear market than you would have probably lost almost all of your money to the losses. If you keep on selling with the stop loss than you will not have any money left in your pocket when the bear hits. Losses are real if you only sell it and if you keep your money in that coin than you only have unrealized profits that will happen during the next bull.

I would agree to have this during a bull market when quick selling is more important than finding any coins because all coins go up during bull and having a 10% profit while you sleep is a marvelous feeling however like I said this is not built for bear markets. If a coin drops 3% that does not even mean its on a bear run, all coins drop that much daily but recover same week, I would say making it 5%+ would be smarter.

When investing in e-money is just a 10% profit, then I recommend selling to make money. Do not be greedy for holding, the market is now up and down very erratic. Holding long-term electronic coins is not a good way to be able to lose money.

Cryptocurrency trading is high volatile fluctuations losing is a normal
But if really have no patience to wait the pump you i suggest stop working in trading
Because trading need a set yourself control ti avoid loses
For the day traders setting of 10 percent profits is enough to make earning a day

often trade or not, that is your choice. the target profit or loss is your own determination. I think it's good. make a target of 10% profit for one day. and make a stop loss of 3%. if the target is reached, you can stop trading and make fresh thoughts. so, your target has no effect on the frequency of your trade.

It is not specified to what those percentages are applied, to your capital? Or to the amount you are putting in each trade? If you are looking to apply those percentages to your capital then you are not going to trade that often because movements that big are not as common as many people think, but if those percentages are applied to the amount you are using to trade then you will need to trade more often.
On most trading situation he might talk about 3% and 10% of the entire capital.No one knows unless if he do talk that hes basing on the amount he used up on a certain buy. 3% stop loss is way too small and easily can be eaten up on Crypto volatility. A price can swing in those range on a short period of time or even more. Basing on the ratio he had given it is considerable on risk:reward overall but on my own trading way setting up stop loss can give out more chances for you to chase up loses once it has been triggered but well we do have different styles.

The duration and frequency depends on the play or system you're setting not on the stop loss and PT mechanism. And also the frequency will rely on your target. If like 10% is yoyr target per day then you're on quota.

The 3% loss is very small, I get a bigger loss, it's just that I don't cut off, I still hodl to date. Now you have to be good at reading charts and analyzing market prices.
Getting a bigger loss will depend on your reward on how bigger, and in most cases, it also always depend on the pattern of trading you are going with, which in this case, we are looking at the average in most cases. Even if your risk is 30%, you should not be looking at any reward below 60% and above, which is the way to always try as much as possible to stay on a better chance of profit in the long run. What is important is just to have your good strategy and plan at hand, and then know how to execute it pretty well, and the whole thing with risk to reward ratio is always part of a strategy in most cases.

In my opinion that rasio is good, we take risk less than take profit. And this is good to use for day trading, and for swing trading should be use higher level of stop loss and take profit. This strategy possible to earn more than 30% amonth.
Usually most risk to reward ratio is actually always 1 : 2 - above respectively and in this case we are looking at some 1:3 risk to reward ratio or thereabout which is something that is actually very reasonable when it comes to managing risk in trading. That is one thing about trading, as long as you have a good strategy, you know what you are doing, you are certain you can execute your plan very well, you know how to manage your money, then the possibility of doing well will always be there.

Then you would probably lose often because crypto is so volatile and would go down quicker than you think and it would hit your stop-loss.
The risk is really high if you will keep doing this, the fluctuation can easily hit that cut loss strategy that you have, before hitting the profits of 10%
it can play backwards up to 10% more before running upwards, this strategy will work if you have deeper knowledge about the project that you will going to invest your money, but if you will apply this in all the assets around the market then it would be a big risk to take and wish for your luck finding coins
that will fluctuate upwards first before the downfall.

but even though we use a ratio between risk and prizes, i think adoption of Ratio must be logical with market conditions, so that placement of ratio is flexible following the rhythm of chart

Absolutely 3% loss is very less amount. But it is better than big losses. I always like to use stop loss in my all short term trading to be safe from huge losses.

Stop loss trading is quite risky because the volatility range of the crypt kept increasing for now so you have to take more range if you want to make money out of it but you can make long term trading too which will allows you to settle with high profits and low loss range.
Yeah because in crypto prices can go down by more than 10% in a few hours then go up again and pump, I think you should revise your strategy in cutlose, at least you have to look at the market conditions too before doing the cutlose.,if the price continues to weaken and exceeds 10% maybe you can think of selling it

I've found that 3% gain 2% loss, or even double, 2% gain and 1% loss per trade is a nice ratio for small TF trading-with Depth chart analysis. It's all about compounding rates Wink

When I say small TF, I'mean buy-sell in out asap trades.

you didnt loose anything based on the comparison that you have show'n on the op . youd rather earn a total of 7% profit and that is quit high in terms of trading knowing that the  crypto market is volatile and seems pretty risky .

but if you think that your losses will be higher than your profits , then much better if you stop using your current strategy because as i said earlier all cryptos are volatile which means their movements will not be fixed .
