Topic: Best indicators for altcoin trading (Read 378 times)

I do it's a matter of luck, the biggest risk arbite is in the withdrawal process that takes a long time. The wall is lost then the price will be the same or even down quickly.
Make sure your Exchanger is safe and fast doing WD.

I suggest you better invest in ico project, where the price offered is the base price. if the project is successful then the coin price will be many times can reach 10x or 20x from the base price. than you buy coins that already exist in the market. average increase only follows the groove. you better invest in new projects. but choose a clear project

The best indicator for altcoin trading according to me is when the market of bitcoin is stable and is going in upward direction.Look for me it is simple theory that works and that is if bitcoin goes high,Some alts will also gets pumped with it and when bitcoin goes down,it takes some alts with it.So the only work that i have to do is to identify some of the potential coins by some R&D and Invest on them.I have applied this and earned great profits.

You can use any indicator you like, as long you know how to use it, nothing too worry about anything else. Good profit is not just because indicator but also trader/ investor make their plan become realistic. Most people will say MA, MACD and stockhastic osilator but you must know how to use it. Because good indicator in hand newbie ( like me for example ) is just like playing game. Just take one indicator and try it. Good luck with you.

There are too many indicators in this online market, sometime I’m work with binary and crypto currency trading and I’m use some indicators, rsi and bolenjer band is a best indicator for trading if you don’t use before so you can use now, hope you must be like this indicators. Rsi and bolenjer band show you total market movement and you can easily understand market movement.

What kind of indicators are you searching for? If you want to use price analysis indicators I would go for RSI and volume indicators, and try to mix them. The crypto market is very volatile, so it's normal for it's price to become oversold and overbought. You should look for RSI oversold levels in the 5 and 15min time frames (since we are on a downtrend, you can also check for the 1h time frame). Once it's oversold, you can start scaling your way into the trade, and wait for the bounce to happen. You should also keep in mind volume indicators, because the bounces normally have a lot of volume associated.

Don't forget that news normally dominate the crypto world, so although tech analisys can give you good clues to know how to react to what it is happening, they will never beat news.

In order to make profit we have to consider both the long term and short term profit. Otherwise it is very difficult to make short terms profit because see how bitcoin price is falling.

In this online market there are too many Indicators some indicators give us signal but that signal is not a proper signal but we can get a idea with our altcoin trading. I’m use MT4 indicator because it have a best result for altcoin trading.

There's Cindicator which is a good app: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anncnd-cindicator-hybrid-intelligence-for-financial-markets-september-12-2062875

Best indicators usually can we see in minimum is 6 months, because as my experience 6 months later give me profit around 100% from investment value.
I said this base on my experience in altcoin. As we know cryptocurrency world is not stable yet, anything can happen.
But like bitcoin, ETH, ICO still good investment in altcoin even the price is drop, the price will rise again.

Most indicators can be used to carry-out technical analysis, but they are formed based on past occurrences, which may sometimes not be used for future predictions. For me, they only give an insight on the flow and direction of the market, which sometimes serves as a guide. The one indicator I tend to use mostly is the support and resistance.

Lots of trading signal indicators were found around. It can be of telegram channels as well through different other sources. Here there are lots of scams as well, it is our responsibility to find the right telegram group and be a part of the network. This will let the user get good suggestions on the trading.

I think six months is far enough to analysis the market price of cryptocurrency.I think you are not invested in correct altcoin.The best altcoin for both short and long term is Ethereum, litecoin,waves, Monero.Choose any one among this and get profit.

Indicators are only helpful to you if you know how to use them and where to use them and what are the characteristics of that particular indicator. First of all, you should be making a trading plan and select a methodology for trading the crypto market. Even though if you are asking then I would like to add some best combinations of indicators which I personally use and many professional traders also used it to trade their big funds. Something like RSI for measuring the momentum of the market, BOLL BANDS used to measure the volatility of the script, Volume used to measure the participation and strength behind the candle patterns, Price Action tools like trend lines and trend channels used to measure the strength and direction of the trend, and ADX is used to measure the strength of the trend.

I divide my portfolio into three parts 30  for short term and another 30 for midterm and another 40 for long term trading

Thanks for reply and I,ll keep this in mind while making next trade 👍☺

Don't only depend on technical analysis and candlestick and do your own research on the latest news about the coins. News are better than analysis because people are just investing to those what is new.

the indicator to see the profit potential of altcoin you should look at the total supply and how the latest news from altcoin, if the altcoin has the latest news about the itinerary and total supply coin is also a bit then it will be a good potential.

Tech analysis is not suitable for alt coins

You should try arbitrage.. buy here, sell there, rinse and repeat

Preposters already gave interesting advices for choosing technical indicators, so I needn't repeat that once more. Additional I suggest you to devide your funds for day trading and longterm trades. Put 90% into longterm trade with deep research. Only put maximum of 10% into day trading with following advantages.
1. Little funds on day trading prevent you from panic sells and give you more freedom in trading.
2. You can make also with very little amounts big profits, when you get it managed to profit 2-7% a day, you can earn theoritcally with an initial investment of only 10$: 353,21$ - 1.945.718,39 $. So the advantage is clear. Independent from your skills you will only loose a little amount with the perspective to gain big profits.
3. You can try out all the recommended indicators and strategies.
4. The most important: There is no indicator, that will show you the future of price movements on day trading with an accuracy of much more than 50%. Interesting in that context is the study by caas business school, City University, London, about monkeys predicting bulls and bears: https://www.cass.city.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/2013/april/monkeys-beat-market-cap-indices
Researching news will not help you, because as soon as you read news about events, you are too late. Only illegal trading with insider knowledge braught securely big money (Search on google the keywords coinbase - insider - bch)

Longterm trades: When you invest into well established cryptocurrencies and ICOs with serious backgrounds (established companies/services) and hold them on longterm (don't put your whole money into cryptocurrencies), then you will probably gain big profits, because you have the advantage, that prices of cryptocurrencies don't follow prices of traditional markets. We are just at the beginning of a new technology, that has big headwind of governments and banks, who want to keep control over the financial sector, but it is not stoppable (like internet wasn't) and will for my opinion continue to grow, although there are  drops from time to time.

I use MACD and RSI.

The below is taken from this reddit post.

MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)

MACD, picture here, is a great indicator to tell if a trend is starting, normally way before the MA or EMA will tell you one is. This allows you to get that extra jump you need to ride the trend longer. But be wary, just because it's moving doesn't mean the price is.

A MACD indicator has three important indicators rolled into one. There are two moving averages, a slow and a fast one, also there is a histogram. The histogram shows the difference between the two moving averages. The farther apart the moving averages are the bigger the histogram is. When the histogram is trending down this is a good indication that the price will also begin trending down. Although, it could also work the other way. When the Histogram is trending up it is a good indication that the price will also trend up. But not always, so pay attention. A word to the wise, when the two moving averages on the MACD cross, the histogram will always be at zero (or in the center of the line).

RSI (Relative Strength Index)

The RSI, picture here, identifier that can tell you if the market is oversold or overbought. The RSI reads on a scale from 0 to 100. If the line is below 30, you can easily assume that too many people sold and the price will start to come up. If the line is above 70, too many people bought and the price will surely come down. The big question is how much, that is something that this indicator cannot tell you. But it can definitely help you see if a trend is on the way. If the RSI line is showing below center (50) for a while it is very probable the price will start trending up.

I'd recommend you check out TheChartGuys on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnqZ2hx679DqRi6khRUNw2g/videos): his videos cover several markets (Cryptocurrencies: BTC + ETH + LTC + one or another Altcoin; Gold; Oil; Weed; etc.); uploads daily, and goes over the trades he made since the last video on the subject; and often has real-time trading videos. I'm not much of a trader myself, but I've learned a lot from him - if you're still (relatively) new to the space, his videos are definitely worth watching.

As for indicators, from what I've seen so far, he mostly goes for very simple stuff: price levels, volume, RSI and, much like BrewMaster suggested above, keeps an eye on what Bitcoin is doing at the time, regardless of what specific coin he is trading.

To fiat.

But, even in these circumstances, there are still ways to profit when trading: for example, with oversold bounces (the guy from the channel I posted above does this often, apparently quite successfully).

This should be done when you are just on the state where you are choosing a right project which you would check the team aggressiveness and dedication towards on enhancing or developing their project in the very first place might not be a guarantee but somehow a good indication that the team is active towards it which is far more better than haven't seeing some indications.

Just follow the team where you have invested your money and the price rise depends upon when they are going to release the contents according to their date line and if the team is ready to launch the product the price will rise,make sure you monitor the team to get to know those details and make a good profit.

one of them can be bitcoin price!

look at bitcoin and follow it. when it is dropping you must pull out of altcoins immediately because they will get dumped on you unless you have invested in an exception at that time (like DigixDao right now!).

other than that you need to analyze the charts and the market (news) to see if there are any signs of an upcoming pump for that coin. for example RaiBlocks changed its name to Nano and it got pumped. analyzing the news meant seeing this and expecting a pump and buying before it starts.

Read about the coin and make your research: learn if many people support it, check the alt's rating and only then make your choice.

If you have been trying to trade for 6 months and no good profit then maybe you should think twice about still wanting to day trade to make money. Anyway, for day trading my favourite indicators are the relative strength index (RSI) and the bollinger bands. I'm not sure if you already did that, but you need to watch videos and read alot about tech analysis to be able to perform decently in trading. Goodluck

I’m a crypto currency trader and I’m work with trading around 5 years ago, when I’m start trading on that time I don’t know which indicators is best for trading but now a days I’m use MT4 Indicators and I think MT4 is best for altcoin and other type of trading.

Once you know how to use the Moving Average, RSI, Stochastic, & MACD indicator, you’ll be well on your way to executing your trading plan like a pro. You’ll also be provided with a free reinforcement tool so that you’ll know how to identify trades using these indicators every day. Indicators is not enough you need a research sometimes to update or any event of your investment crypto.

You should gain knowledge in blockchain technology then only you make profit. You are register in two days before in this forum so how you know the trading strategy.
This is risky investment in the crypto market. Many experienced traders also affect in trading platforms It is complicate to predict the future possibilities.

You may want to try www.tradingview.com, though I am still not fully familiar with their system. But you might to try them,  also investing.com is also another good one. But , I can sincerely suggest to you to trade on the top coins listed of CapMarketcap.com with a cheap rate, and also have high potential of booming in the long run, or even a a potential ICO.

I suggest you to try Investing.com. It got inbuilt technical indicators which will help you predict the market. You can study coin movement at different time intervals(5min to 1 month) which will help you to take right decision at the right time and can earn good profits.

Six months is not just good enough to earn a good profit, how could you earn these days that the market price was so down.
Maybe it take another a month before you can see the rel profit on you in trading. Don't depend on day trading or just a week, much better choose a good coin and then hold for a long term at least a year.
If you noticed now the bloody market, this is the great opportunity to buy some good coins and hold for a long run. Because holding for long term is lower risk compared to short term trading.

If you are a newbie then you should not focus on both things either short or long term tradin. This would really  confuse you or stress out yourself. Its not advisable to go directly with short term trading since this is really a very a hard thing to do specially to newbies. 6 months is quiet a long journey on doing trading and you aren't still making any profits which is somehow impossible but well to believe and asking about indicators then I do usually rely on them but somehow I do make use on some like trend lines, support and resistance levels,stochastic,divergence.

Indicators works on this market its just so happen that people are just relying more on a FUD, well you can actually make money on that but too risky to depend for. If you’re trading for about 6mos now and yet you didn’t earn good profit well I think you have a problem emotionally, try to understand trading more and know what you did wrong.

How can you make good profits now when everything is in red.
There is nowhere to go and even Ethereum was down now for $100 dollars even though it is still at high value if you look at it per week.

It is like everyone is dumping all the coins and tokens and nowhere to be found. Even bitcoin is down and if they have sold it for BTC then we should be seeing it now.

Question is where the hell are all those money going?

Technical analysis and indicators are not suitable for crypto coin trading. Instead of technical analysis, watch the news and hype about coin. Buy the rumors sell the news. This way you can make more profit.

There are many indicators and it comes down to more of a preference and style than anything. I like to trade announcements or planned releases. Say for example an ICO occurs with a lot of success and there's a big hype but there won't be a release for 6 months. In this time the price almost always slides in the first 3-4 months before beginning to slowly climb again before the release.

I am doing trading with altcoin from last six months but not able to make good profit.
Can any anyone please tell me the best indicators for altcoin trading for both short term and long term trading?
