This would produce the most gains , but if you predict wrong you could be stuck waiting for the price to either come back up or down to get back in. I did this the other day. I sold and bought back in at what I had predicted was going to be the next upswing. However some last second sellers swooped in and dropped the price below my limit. Then it just continued to fall from there. Now I sit and wait for the price to come back up to my purchase price so I can get back at it. I hate waiting. I get antsy. I should have left some money in reserve so I could have at least bought in at the bottom. I got greedy. Now I wait. Sad

So that would be the consiquence of putting all your money in trading. And I think that will be a lesson for everyone who all in their money as their capital in doing trading. You cant never tell wether it will go up or fall down. The logic is, you mist be prepared what ever will happen. You should always have a back up, that serve as your savior if ever a struggle come while doing trading. Many traders expert consider trading as a gambling too. Because of its risky. So you better be careful in doing a decision.

it is a very bad decision in trading, never all in, maybe if sell is okay, but when do buy would be better if buy gradually.
if you use the trading app on smartphone, it would be nice if using alarm, it's good if want to do stoploss or want to buy gradually

Can you suggest a good application or software that will be able to send notifications when is the right time to buy or sell? I have found a few apps on this forum and from another source site that I visited often. However, all of them won't work exactle where it suppose should be. I've been looking for the perfect app and if you can just tell me the source, whether its free or paid, I do hope it's a cheap one as most of them are really quite expensive and I don't have that amount of money to purchase. In fact, the amount of funds I have allocated in trading is relatively small. So, if you are willing to share it either in private or publicly, that would be really much appreciated.

Indeed, the more you put, the more you get by the end of the day.
But the problem is; whether you can be patient and wait for an uncertain time until the prices reach a higher point to extract the profits, especially at the moment where most of the coins seem in the bloodbath.
It's a good time to buy cheaper coins in the dip, that's why do not put all of your funds at once in a coin, just invest partially. Deposit fiat currency, buy bitcoin and altcoins, waiting for a month and then you will get more than 100% profits for sure.

I never be all in while I'm trading because I sometimes can't handle stressful monents and I can't lose my all in trading. That's why I only trade with small portions which won't make me upset.

Nope, I'm following a strict traderoll management.

I'm tempted to break it almost on daily basis, but we all know how this will end.

You should do the same.

Thats a lesson to take in and be that a warning to you. Not to invest all in. Although even you are stuck waiting just consider an affordable price that you think is enough for a loss then sell it or else youll be waiting for the rest of your live.

We are all in the same page when it comes to trading, of course what we really want in our life is to see the price of the coins rising, but if we are seeing it bump don't be so worry and panic with it, still look at it at the positive way, not every day is a happy day for traders that is why patience is really needed here.

Will each one of us has different ways on how to gain in trading investment,about in your way of trading its nice strategy,but it happens things in your trading that your in bad timing and continue to slow and drop the price,and all you can do is wait and sitback,but always remember that there is the grace of patience of holding all your transaction asset,just wait that the price value will return to its normal trends.

I think you are too hasty to pursue profits in trading. the main key in trading is patience, but it is not a problem and hopefully it will be a lesson for you because I am sure everyone has failed.

If you are successful then you can do the right analysis, but sometimes make a decision in trading is not an easy thing. Sometimes things are very likely to happen, but there is a miracle and everything changes very quickly. it often happens in the trading world, as it happens today that everyone does not believe there has been a decline in all coins. Though some time ago we always get a positive green trend. This is a concern, so if I do that then I will divide some portions to do trading and partly I Hold. I think it is the best option because I will feel safe and if something bad happens to one then I can have a chance on one side of the other.

Yes! I am all in when trading but not all in on a particular coin. I tend to lke to divesify. Though when you diversify your profit might not be as big as when yougo all in on a particular coin. The difference od course is that you mitigate loss and expand your capacity to earn!

I don't think that trading it all in is a very wise move. There should be a division to one's trade because it lessens the chance of failure and increases the number of chances in succeeding. It would be really helpful to know the right strategy when it comes to trading. This is why I study here in https://daneel.io/ before deciding on something.

I think many people go all in with bitcoin but anything can go good or bad so I'm just 50/50.

Is there any specific reason to go all in? This is trading and not gambling and dont confuse the two. As a matter of fact trading is much more profitable than gambling if you where and when to put your money into. If you are so poor that you have only 10$ to invest then you can go all in but for bigger funds spreading into different altcoins is better.

Quote from: okissabam on January 16, 2018, 04:37:17 AM

Good for you OP, but every trader have their own style or technique or ways on how thry trade. I in fact were trading all in before but decided in the long run not to because it is too risky and I don’t want to wait for so long to gain my losses back. I’m probably one of those they call as a safe trader.

Honestly no sane trader is going to go all in on a single coin. I dont know if you are going to differ to this but people who trade (not the losers though) know which coins to put money into and they definitely dont go all in on one coin.

Patience is key here. Also going all in is never adviseable, unless you are yourself setting up prices. Goin all in leaves you with nothing for those times when your prediction proves you wrong.

Having something left with us gives us hope that next time we may take out what we put in now. Getting all in and then having to let go it is like getting broke.

Market watch is predictabke but not always 100% true. At the end of the day therer are more speculators than invstors. Nothing is that predictable which allows you to go all in.

Actually i never all in one and my strategy never ask me to do all in one because it is more dangerous.
One day, i had mistake and i stuck with waiting like you said and hate waiting. Its boring and i will never do it again someday.

When we go ALL IN, we are intentionally gambling with our capital. It is because we don't know what could be the result later.
If the decision turns into positive then we are happy, but if it turns negative then we are BLOCKED for uncertain time.
That's why it is more logical that we do not go ALL IN by any means. Even though positive result possibility is high.

I'm not saying that I do not make mistakes. I always do that and I know WHY.... Its just the GREED.

When I first went all in with Siacoin at polo, I promised that I will not do it again.
But I'm idiot enough to do the same mistake and I already did it with TRX recently and now I'm suffering in hyper tension.

As I trade into multiple exchanges, I have divided my overall capital in all exchanges.
So I always go all in with one exchange balance, so that my trading in other exchanges doesn't gets blocked.

WE JUST SHOULD NOT GO ALL IN BY ANY MEANS, unless you are 1000000% sure about the result.

The problem with the "all-in" strategy is you trick yourself into believing that you could have pulled it off in the past with hindsight. Let's say you invest in 5 projects, and one of them moons. You can convince yourself that you were really planning to put more money into that one project but you didn't. In reality you probably would feel the same way about any one of the 5 projects if they mooned and convince yourself that that project is the one you were really planning to choose above the others.

Try it now with a future project, just pick one but pretend it is your "all-in". This is the best test to determine whether you have the market knowledge to actually pull this sort of strategy off in the future without proper diversification. You might be surprised that your picks aren't as accurate as you may think (although for some of course they are - you must test yourself to find out).
