Topic: BUY high sell low ? - page 23. (Read 22576 times)
Sometimes buying high and selling low is the best choice you can make. Analysis of signals is all well and good, but no one can 100% reliably predict the future. I use a trading dashboard with 5 EMAs tracking the trends, as well as MACD and parabolic SAR indicators; this morning I set a limit buy for 3% below the current market price, which seemed like a safe target for the bottom of a bear run based on the trends. It turned out not to be; luckily I was around while it was happening and was able to make the judgment call to sell a further 1.5% down. In the hour since this happened, I've traded the swings and turned my 1.5% loss into a 1% profit; had I held on, I would now be down 4% pending further fluctuation. Even if the market recovers, by buying high and selling low I've managed to put myself in a better position to buy in again. Sometimes you just need to recognize that the market has taken you by surprise and cut your losses in order to retain liquidity and take advantage of further price drops. Speaking of which, in the time I was typing this it's down another .5%... it seems like it might well continue. I'll have to see, and regardless I should have the opportunity to buy in again at a lower price than my original sale.
If you always buy when the price is high and sell when the price goes down, I'm sure you will experience continuous losses, the core of this trading is patience and do not panic.
If someone is facing this tragedy again and again then I think it will be better for him to give up on trading because definitely it is not for him. However, practically it is impossible. I suggest controlling emotions and excitement a little bit more so that right decisions can be taken.
Have done this many times. I usually don't sell low, but have been stuck in a few coins that I didn't really want to hold because price was rising and I thought it would go higher. Then I hit that buy button and tank. 
This do happen especially with the altcoins which are very tandem and does not have a good future. Always do research before buying any altcoins especially if they are not the top 10 coins in altcoins list. Do sell if the price is dropping quickly because it may never recover and you will end up with a huge loss in such case. So better to book some loss and buy other good coins.
. Opportunity buy dips price and sell high happening every week.There's no something wrong if you invest in bitcoin because it is so good as we all know but of course there is no bad things or wrong move too in investing to in altcoin but some of it may take a bad experience so maybe checking on that coin before investing is a must.

Surely you will lose money and there would be no way for you to earn anything on it, only when you stop this idiot method then you will realize that patience is the key when you bought a coin on its high price. Yes, Patience is the key since it after a dump there is mostly a pump where you will gain back what you've lost. Its better to control your emotions when trading since it's one of worst enemy of traders.
It all takes time. And most altcoins are called shitcoins because they are fundamentelly worth nothing! Just to trade and make more BTC.
If you cannot trade then better hodl.

It is not that difficult also. If someone is not very greedy then he can tell that the prices have reached the highest peak for the present pump phase. Those people who were expecting more when BTC was 4800 dollars were overdoing their greed. Some sell at that time because they were contended with the prices.

In principle, if it is profitable for you to buy at any price, but usually buy at a reduced price. And if you have at least some experience in the trade and you want to become a real expert in this field, then to overcome the losses it is necessary to wait for a fall and panic will not prevail.
If you mean we need to cut loss our coins I think its normally, sometimes we make a late buying of some coins so when we have them in our wallet the coins go down again and make us must to hold them for a long time to

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.
which obviously do not panic in seeing the sometimes uncertain market situation, if you want to succeed in trading a lot of learning and looking for the right formula in trading, so there is always a solution when seeing the market is not clear

Many times i do this when i am donot understand about trading.First i am loss 0.040btc .This time I am buy some coin and its market down for a long time.And i am deside to sell low price.Then i am hate trading but now i am buy some coin in different exchange and deside to hold for a long time.So i suggest trading does not mean that you buy coin low and next you can sell high. it is totally result for patience
yes i agree patience is a virtue.many people sell it even if it has a low price because they dont have patience or maybe they panic .but i think that was a verry worst thing to do buy high and then sell low.maybe only fool will do that. It is just like buying food to eat and then throw it after you recieve it is just like wasting time and money.
in my opinion (im not an expert) but i think that even by just holding in a future you will be able to have a lot of profit. sometimes is not so easy to 'buy low and sell high'
They are giving opportunities try to buy while they sell low. If this is true then grab the chance to get a higher profit. I think they're are still new or they have a hidden plan on it but still it looks like a fail move for them.
