Well, that is the basic idea of trading. Trading should be more strategic than that. Buy low sell high is so simplistic that you nay not get out alive while swimming with whales. You must be strategic, responsive and technical with a little bit of luck.

Maybe OP's just thinking about something else that is why he said "Buy high Sell low" rather than Buy low Sell High, because if you are going to buy high and sell low, then you are a insane person, lol, nobody does that, you are going to lose your money instead of having profits in the long run, though Trading is not that easy because you have to choose carefully the coins that you are going to use in Trading.

or may be buy low sell high ?

Lot of noobs traders , don't control their emotions and make worst mistakes : buy at high price and sell at lowest

how to control this ? = put orders (buy/sell) and close the platform

 That exactly what I did in the past few days because bitcoin had suddenly struggled in hard fork in that time from $7600 going to $6000 below. So I grab the opportunity buy low sell high it's really effective. But we should keep on monitoring the price chart of bitcoin so that we can updated as well and also latest news about it .

Always what happens with people and it really can't be stopped,, people are scared of taking losses and they're going to try to get out and not lose too much.. Some people don't have the patience and the skill to be a trader is something that is kind of built inside someone, at least that's what I personally think about it and trading. I'll come outright and say it, I'm kinda freaked when it comes to trading and I do the whole buy high and sell low cause I get scared and don't work with losing money too well..

You have to be built a certain way to lose 50% of what you put in and then wait for it to come back up,, these are the real people who maximize their money.
Well i call it crazy people who sell in a low price really didnt gain profit specially when theg biy it on a high price. I think people who buy high then sell low is a fool person maybe he or she can get another way to earn than doing this crazy thing.maybe it will happen to those person who are luck of experience  or maybe they are getting panic about the price but that was not really a reason to do wrong .

The goal of investing is to sell something at a price that's higher than what the investor paid to buy it. The problem investors face is determining when prices are low enough to indicate a buy and high enough to decide that selling is the best choice.

how to control this ?
it is simple, stop doing random stuff and call it trading!

people usually just buy things they think are good or worse things that some random dude told them are good, not because they analyzed them and came to the conclusion that it is a good idea to invest. so it becomes a gamble at some point. and as long as it is a gamble, you can't know which way it will go.
True! And if all of this is linked at general insecurity people will show very weak hands, and without real reason.

I make it a practice to buy high and sell low and am quite proficient.  I've decided it is much cheaper to hang out here and post on BCT instead.   Grin
Yeah it takes the practice and the time, if you are investing in the bitcoin and the profit of the bitcoin will grow more and more, today the bitcoin price is growing and the time for the bitcoin is having the profit if you are buying you will have to be patient I am sure the bitcoin will give you the profit, if you will hold for the long time and the bitcoin will get high a lot of people will buy the bitcoin so it is good price today you should invest now.

Buy low and sell high would be correct to all new trader. The key to not repeat this mistake is learn how to control your emotion.
It is not only for newcomers rather for every trader. When you are coming into trading there are some basic rules that you must follow to get towards success else loss will be there for you waving. One of the golden rule is buying low and selling high and only with one this basic rule, you will be able to earn hard and better. Your profit will be marked only if this rule is being followed.

Yeah you are right many traders can't control their emotions when price is down, I think the best way to control this is determination not to sell low

Emotions emotions emotions! Impossible to get rid of them... maximum you can do is to learn to control them. Sometime I make the same mistake even though i'm not a novice trader. But i'm still working on myself Cheesy



Well said!   How long have you been trading, and have you traded anything other than crypto?

I've been trading FX before (mostly EURUSD and GBPUSD) for approx 2 years, and then moved into cryptos maybe half a year ago (maybe a little late, but I already got my fair share of the roller-coaster Smiley ). Currently trading only the most liquid stuff... BTC and ETH.

It all depends on the condition through which you are going through. It is a general principal that most of us follows in order to have better profit. Buying the bitcoins at low price and then selling them at higher rates will for sure help you in earning of more money.

The thing is you cannot follow the very same lines every time you go for trading. There are certain occasions when you have to sell your coins at lower rates as well.

Indeed. "Buy low, sell high" sounds very simple doesn't it? But I think most traders actually do the opposite. They often buy in when the crypto is on the rise, and sell in on the way down.

How do you control this? Plan your trades. Decide on and set a certain price where you're planning on buying. Don't let your emotions take control of you.

Also, be active on bitcoin news. There are tons of websites that can provide that. Google is your friend.  Wink


I can confirm that I bought bitcoin cash when it was at 2100 lol a few hours later it went up some more and crashed within 5min to 1400 lol
i lost almost half my money with that mistake and lesson learned never ride the wave when it already started

I jumped on way too late and eventually the wave crashed back down with me.

what sites do u recommend for the news?

See, you should have go around this forum and see what really going up before jumping onto something. Did you really think that bitcoin cash will take over the market? Its indeed a hard lessons for you sir because people how have bought it also lost big chunks of money specially like you who bought it at top price.

You should stick to bitcoin and buy your money with it, right now bitcoin is going up. You could have make a decent profit. For the news, there nothing that can beat our old forum here. There are too much knowledgeable members here. But just be careful because some of them are just spreading fake news. Just look at their previous post and you will know if they really intelligent enough to make such bold predictions.

That is what the most of the traders and investors doing, they keep on buying high and when there is a FUD or something bad about bitcoin or to a particular coin then they will just sell low and accept the loss and be proud to their selves that they get out before the ship completely sink but they didn't know that it is just normal and nothing to worry about.

Yes indeed these panic sellers thinks that they did the best and proud of themselves for selling the last dime they had just to regret and cry over it in couple of month when the price soars extremely high.

My advice (what's working for me).... write your set of trading rules on a piece of paper and stick it somewhere in front of you!!! Sounds stupid, but works. At a minimum you should three things.
1. where you will fix your profit (i'd say the profit potential should be at least twice as big as the loss you are willing to tolerate).
2. where you will fix your loss (do not less losses run).
3. reason for entering a trade (make sure the reason is not an emotional factor).

... and stick to your piece of paper!!!
