Topic: Annoying trading moments? (Read 1849 times)

The most annoying moments in trading is you're looking at the chart and don't know how to give out a next predict . It's so confused.

For me, this always happen when I was still new in the trading game. Whenever I get lucky that my coin has pumped, I always expect more that it will reach a little bit higher so I set to to a specific order that is very close to be easily reached but when I wake up in the morning, all I see is disappointment so that's why I change my habit because this often happens and it's very annoying.

Yes, we need to take light those annoying disappointments of trading else we many not tend to focus on further trading which may last for days based on how serious you will be about your losses/disappointments. The basic physiological  approach here must be, accepting losses as part of trading and focusing on preventing losses.

That must have happened because you were greedy and jealous about it. If you had the funds on the exchange you could have just set a goal at what price you want to sell and just placed a sell order instead of selling it manually. I have funded a ico called quantum for 0.05$ per coin and purchased 0.04 btc worth during ico. Yesterday itself it was listed on livecoin i placed a sell order 0.0001 and sold all my coins at a triple price. Now the price is at 0.00013 but idc i got my profit and didn't get jealous. You should have done the same

Yep on trading is not about analisys of price, open positions buy and sell on exchangers
management money and risk in trading and taking profit from trading,
but there are other factors that support for be succesfull in trading activity to getting profit
that is skill of control emotion in trading.

Do not worry about it
Although disappointing a good mentality is not angry, it will make us stress.
Relax and enjoy by always taking fresh air. Holiday is another way to re-monitor the market with fressh

Correct ...
Like a trap that makes it difficult to make a choice, Cut los or hold.
It took courage to choose CL, because at that time we lost capital / money.
The disappointing thing is after sell (CL), the price goes up.
Forbearance is the best way. Although very annoyed.

LOL yeah these are annoying things thst normally happen even to experienced traders but you just have to shrug off. Putting too much attention to these happenings may negatively affect your mood and thus make decisions that you'll regret afterwards. We just have to accept that these are all part of trading and everyone comes across these things once in a while

The only choices are to leave it sit, lose your profit and maybe a little more changing it to another coin or buying more Bitcoin to increase the balance to the right amount.

This is probably the annoying moment on trading, you buy on X satoshis and then it keeps dumped when you bought that coins also when you sell it the price keeps going up after you sell it. That's the most annoying situation in trading.

When the price is getting close to your take profit target, you already make a shopping list in your mind, you even start scrolling through ebay and... the price goes back and you end up with nothing or what's worse, a loss 

It was a panic moment with XRP in Poloniex couple week ago,
some people wanted to buy and other wanted to sell, I checked it was 40 000 peoples online,... it was quite hectic.
I failed to sell at 0.33 usd and it was too busy,
many people was so angry about it.

That was the annoying trading moment so far.

You can fix any instrument's trading movement into some pattern as per technical analysis regardless of how heavily it gets dumped/pumped. Manipulations/non-transparent are not just new due to crypto market if you ask me.

On a heavy dump, an altcoin will keep on hitting support levels and similarly it will break resistance levels on dump. Hitting stoploss will be the result in those manipulation situations. Still, I will say technical analysis must be working everywhere and on every conditions.

Just thinking that technical analysis is basically "a mere speculation with some news and upcoming events which may occur behind it and support the price pump"  as you said and well, that's what I often use as a clue for my tradings. still, none of my "technical analysis" is successfully giving me a huge profit.
And from my experience, the pumping on altcoin occurs suddenly because there's someone who have a big money and all in buying the altcoins resulting the increase of demands and triggers people to buy because it seems that the current trends are buying and expecting to have a profit later.
one thing.I've seen many professional traders giving out a signal about which coin may be pumped in the upcoming time but there's still a chance for the wrong signal. There's no prediction which absolute I guess.

Hehe on point replies are here and ya this actually used to happen with me when i first time created a account on yobit. Fortunately it hasn't happened to me for few months from now but literally you never know.
Reading other replies also loss can get really annoying but you shouldn't lose hope at all and literally just wait for a increase. Bots bots bots legit the worst thing a exchange can permit just for a few funds , it not only distract's us but also make us move uo from our strategy. I recently started using livecoin and I'm glad they don't have this annoying thing

Worst annoying moment of all is that first time you calculate, watch the signals and go through all manner of effort to make a small, but fun profit on a back and forth trade on an exchange, maybe even less than a penny of profit, but you are proud you did it.  You get ready to move the funds to another wallet, location, whatever and realize that your trade was so small that it is beneath the minimum movement of Bitcoin. 

I even wonder how on earth do you analyze technically when most of the things happening in the crypto market are not transparent,the price keeps on increasing and only after the pump you get to know the reason for the pump,i think these sort of things are just pure speculations and if anyone really know the real secrets it is the fund houses who are doing huge pumps and they have an idea when they are planning to book the profits.

I get annoyed when my technical analysis do go failed. There were many incidents the price movements of one altcoin may start disobeying resistance/support levels of daily pivot point calculations due to heavy pump or dump reasons which is leading to hit the stop loss finally.

Reaching the stop-loss zone must be most frustrating moments for any trader. Yes, it may lead to frustrations like committing suicide when we are very careful with your technical analysis and choosing well established trading instruments. Getting disappointments and feeling annoyed are most common in trading career regardless of how long we are into it.

I can easily relate to the number 4 when I was just trying to get the conversion in btc in case I sell but to my surprise I had press sell when I had no intention of that happening, men I bought back and in that few minutes price has increased by a percentage which costs me more. From then forward, I am always very careful when planning to buy or sell adequate one at that.

Number one is really annoying but sometimes I turned it into something fun. I also joined the race LOL and out my bid at 1 sate higher. Also, what is annoying when you intend to short trade and forgot your order and the next day your bid was filled and the coins was dump already.

Im so annoyed for that moment really and it happens on me for so many times but I just think that luck is not on my side by the time sudden huge pump occur on my behold coin, But for now Im so anxious on each movements and frequently monitoring my coins by using the blackfolio so that i would not miss any little movements from now on.

This happens to me most of the time thinking that the price will not increase anymore so better sell it then after couple of hours price suddenly increase and all I can do is watch it. Learned the hard away already.

The most annoying situation for me was when I was a newbie and I started trading through mobile app, I used to check the price all the time and just be happy that the price went up all the time. One night I woke up at around 3-4 AM and checked the price, it was a little lower than last night and I got panicked and sold all the BTC which I had in that exchange, I dont know when I got sleep and it was a shocker in the morning as BTC price was increased as usual and I didnt have any in the exchange. Lost like 90-100$, which was a big amount for me at that time. 
Now, when I woke up at night and check the price I just laugh at myself and sleep again.

The response is really good and i have almost read all tge posts till now and found out that there are many more annoying things which i couldn't recall. The ones which is like the most are the bot one , who simply buy their own coins making people think it is a pump. For this it's better if you use livecoin as i don't think they allow bots.
Second best till now was a coin is gettimg dumped suprr hard and the system just doesn't allow you to sell , so you get a huge loss.
In terms of profit the best one is a person bought 1000$ worth of btc and next day price boomed till freakin 2000$

What's annoying is I bought btc worth 1000 dollars when I thought btc will keep pumping itself and then it suddenly dropped itself to lowest price. That was just literally a moment I thought  useless and my luck is bad ass
 Lol. Anyway it was just coincidence and now I'm having great pump of 2000 dollars plus in my wallet.  Hoping it will reach amazing 5 times current value to make a better profits tomorrow and no annoying moments anymore. Haha.

I experienced this and what funny is, it's not on mobile application but on the desktop browser itself. Im just looking for the preview of how much profit will I get if I sold the coin but I don't know why I clicked that dump button. I get profit that really can considered as decent one but the trend that moment is upward.

The coin never reached again that cheap price even after lots of correction and able to maintained it's bottom price at average 200% of the price when I bought it.

I don't do btc trading. I don't understand a jack about how it works. But I do lending on exchange sites and some times I also face such an annoying situation as the OP has described. I put out a loan on a certain rate and a few minutes later the loan is picked but after that the rate goes up and I am like, "why did I not increase the rate?" Sometimes the margin is huge...

I agree with the first list where someone puts order a buy or sell on top of us by  small prices like 1 satoshi, the second point often happens in yobit because there are many shitcoin, you just use their chat feature and said shitcoin to the moon was quite effective.

The most annoyed thing is when I want to press the buy button the price already change and I need to buy it at higher price, when I was a beginner I thought that sell price and buy price only got a little gap, and after I bought I found out  that the coin got a huge gap and finally I lost money because of the gap is too huge

Im also annoyed when the dump starts and going down hard. And you can't sell them because the system has a problem. Ignoring my sell orders which cost me huge losses. It's pretty annoying and most of traders here experienced that( specially traders on Poloniex). Also many are hyping pump and dump coin. Its all over the chatbox( specially on C-Cex).

My most annoying moments was when I want to place a buying trading after a very long time technical analysis just for me to mistakenly click selling ordered. I have done one or two of such mistake and is very hurtful. I also did invest in shit coins mistakenly.

I don't find any less profit , I  always got much profit in the Bitcoin and altcoin trading .
Here i am fully satisfied with your (1) point , most of the time I faced this problem .
But all other point are really funny except (3) .
In the third point I got much loss , about three weeks ago I bought dgb at the rate 100 Satoshi and after it get touch with 500 Satoshi then I sold it all but after that day by day it reached to 2700saroshi per dgb , that is really a crying moment for me .
If I will have the patience then ofcourse I will made 2 btc in this month , but unfortunately I lost much money due to my speedy worst descion .
Well here in the Evey trade we got the experience that how to control at your emotions during profit and loss in the big amount .

I had a lot of annoying moments with altcoin trading, although the volumes were quite small. Once I sold my ETH holdings for BTC0.018 per ETH. A few days later, the prices zoomed to close to BTC0.05, and right now ETH is trading at around BTC0.10 per coin.

I do really hate bots which you can rarely see if you do have a newbie eyes specially on trading you can easily see if theres a bot or none when it comes to buy or sell orders you will surely panic if you cant able to comprehend your trading position on those times. The one thing annoys me when i do purchase on a certain price and then it lowers it value and dont have time to cut lose on minimal amount.

This isn't the altcoin trading section. Why do people keep posting crap about altcoin trading? Obviously you're looking for that armpit of the forum called "Altcoin discussion".

I always do 1 satoshi more or less. Why would I sell for 50 Satoshis left if I'm the lowest bid? It's common sense. If it's an altcoin that costs 1million Satoshis it makes less of a difference but if it's 10k or less it makes a huge difference.

Nope, he is right, this is THE most annoying thing that could happen while day trading, especially when you try to get a quick profit. That moment when you try to put a reasonable order to get picked by buyers/sellers, and find an annoying guy who keeps beating your bids.

Yes, he can, anyone can, especially on YoBit – being a bigger fish in a small pond. You just keep buying the coin in small batches, then hype about it in the troll box, so that you lure traders into buying it (pumping it for you*). I think it's a low, cheap way to trade, though.

I think he meant when you see a coin — you have been holding — pumping and try to sell, but it gets dumped hard.

I think reputable exchanges (like Poloniex) have a prompt notification to confirm the order, which helps greatly.

Can't relate in 1, 2 and 3 (incomplete sentence) but I experienced no.4 once. I sold my coins lower than the price in my mind and since it happened already, I did trade xx times to get my loss back. It's a little bit annoying as well when you bought and the price dumps after without having a chance of selling it higher. You need to wait until it pump again.

One of most annoying moment if the ttaffic is too much and the platform
May be jam/lag.

Trading sometimes annoyed me, something you waited for the price in a couple of days. Then when I sell the coins it will
All of a sudden increases the price value, it was really annoying

For no.1 case, it's really piss me off since I want to make quick trading for quick profit
But at the end , I know that altcoin trading is different with stock exchange so I learned about it.
Overall I made 0.05 profit from trading 

You can't really be that much annoyed when trading and let it get to you because you may commit costly mistakes. Though i can relate to your feelings here but i try to just be composed and be patient to avoid making decisions out of annoyance because it will definitely cost me money

i can't say i particularly have any feelings towards any of these!
1. if you want to buy or sell at price X then why do you even care if someone places 1 satoshi above you! let them buy higher or sell cheaper than the price you have in mind!

2. pump a coin? you? i don't think you are big enough to pump an altcoin. unless you mean something else!

3. your statements cut in the middle of sentence! LOL.

4. simple solution: double check before clicking! and don't rush!

I think that he most damaging trend for most traders are bull traps and bubbles. Many people could lose considerable amounts of money if bitcoin prices were to fall sharply once again.

that's really annoying when you are waiting for your position either buy or sell and the bot will work and make an adjustment then after you cancel your order he will then too will cancel the order as well, but thinking wisely its really a guide for us that bot will make some moves and if you analyze closer you will be able to gain good profits too.

Trading is generally frustrating, and it requires a lot of patience to be successful.

Since I am not a very patient person and I wasn't making any profits, I decided to code a bot to do my trading for me.

It felt like a good idea, and everything was running smoothly, until the bot failed to fire on a day I wasn't monitoring it, and left me deep in red.

well, it is trading has many things to the detriment of those of us who did not want to have the right thoughts. Because it is to be able to benefit in the bitcoin, we should be able to have patience. Without patience then everything just wind or we would not benefit, because trade is always updated and we have claimed to exceed the update or do we have to be able to predict something will probably happen in the future
 

it happened to me less then a month ago it was the best decision moment i do. 

here is the story.

to make a deposit in Indonesian btc exchange is to buy USD

at that time trump is make a speech in international community.
The speech is about that he will make a war with syria and the country behind it (such as Russia)

USD VS IDR is really drop in 12500 IDR per dollar. when the market is normal it can reach 14000 IDR per dollar.

so i deposit a dollar at that time.
but my money doesn't arrived yet. bank say it will take 4 day's of working day. (Oh my goshhhh!)

but when my money is arrived at the Indonesian exchange market there is a virus wanna cry BTC in international market is drop up to 10-20% at that time
and btc in my country drop about 1800$ per BTC at that time.

so i buying a btc. and trade it. with alt coin.  i trading to alt coin almost 1 month and make a profit on it.

it happened a 3 day's ago i don't know why but  BTC in my country rise up to 3760$ fucking dollar per btc i don't know why this is happened.

at that time i really need money because i want to do a summer time with my friend's so i sold my alt coin and all of my BTC
i withdraw all money i have and go to beach along with friend.

just now when i arrived i see the BTC market in my country drop to 2600$

that's is the luckiest moment in my entire life.

Moments that often annoy me when trading is when there is a bot, because he will always cover our buy order and fishing us to do pump. But this also is always a lesson for me to be more careful when trading, and always I for the two stages of buy order is greater the amount to prevent the dump

Now most of us have surely tried trading in past and maybe stopped because it didn't work or you got sufficient profit , etc etc.
But most of us are surely annoyed by few things like :
1. You place a buy or sell order of 1 btc and someone else to be on top puts his order are 1.00000001 btc.
2. You try to pump a coin and be successful, buy when you place a sell order you are outnumbered easily and sometimes panic and get a huge
3. You are holding some coin and got a decent profit, so you plan to sell it and next the price get's
4. As buying and selling mostly doesn't require and verification so maybe on mobile you press buy or sell when you don't want to do it.
