Buy dips could go on two lines of logic, to identify long term trends (bullish) and hope they hold. Or to buy into momentum, moving averages rising which shows a likely move towards higher prices. So you could just simply watch 50 and 200 day averages, when the 50 is above the 200 and both have the line ascending upwards then you can buy into BTC with the idea we have a bullish trend. I like that idea in theory because its quite simple and balanced over medium to longer term trend, its not infallible but no system is.
Trying to have the skill to pick apart trends and call them, draw on a graph and be correct in predicting the crowd is harder to get right. Same for the news imo, how many times did BTC get banned in China and the price fell yet it was still rising longer term; news I dont trust that much as a criteria though its relevant of course
Topic: Buying the dips: do you have a specific criteria? (Read 639 times)
Apologies if this comes up a lot (as I'm sure it does) but when / how often do you feel is best to buy the dip?
I know its not an exact science but I've heard a few different preferences on this such as:
- When the price decreases x% on the weekly/monthly candle
- When the price moves below the weekly/monthly negative average
- Only a couple of times a year after a major correction
- Just look at the chart and go on your experience / gut
These criteria is good but I think it's been good to buy when the price goes down because we all know that this criteria is good enough. Buying in low price is good to have profit. And no one can predict the price so we must be updated about the price. I know its not an exact science but I've heard a few different preferences on this such as:
- When the price decreases x% on the weekly/monthly candle
- When the price moves below the weekly/monthly negative average

Criterias been made would vary on each persons way of decision on specific situation.It might differ on some aspects but all do have still the same goal which is to buy in the dips.
Always set out PLAN B's when your initial plan didnt work out and continue if it does even more.
I generally do not have a fixed criteria but I usually see that a sharp drop is happening or the drop is a slower one, I mean sometimes the value drops by 10% within 24 hours while sometimes the drop is happening slowly over the week.
I prefer to make my buy when the sharp drop happens and the logic I do that is, when sharp drops happen they go up pretty soon to the normal value as sharp drops are either a sharp/scam dumping the bitcoins or just some other event which I am not aware about. While a slow fall means that the drop might be natural and buying at such point might need months to recover the price.
So, I often try to buy when there is a sharp dip and once it starts climbing, that is the best time to make buy orders in my opinion.

It really depends on the coin what you are dealing with. But if we are talking btc in general, I do think that there's really no fix criteria in buying btc. As long as you have money to spare and you are seeing the sudden drop, this may be a good time to buy. But it depends on you, as you don't know when will it recover. So you have to assess, if you are buying for short term or long term purposes.

Risk takers have more chances to win compared to doubtful people.
Maybe that is why there are so many gamblers who regret betting because they took too much risk 
(so I disagree with you ins simple words if you don't understand the statement).Taking risk is good but knowing your limits is important, I mean yeah you must take risk to get rich but that is how gamblers think traders would always make favorable trades which not always mean taking risks.
A businessman could hardly be a teacher, crypto investors will also be hardly a teacher as well
But, a teacher would make sustainable profits while a businessman will make profits and also suffer losses to maybe such an extent that they have to quit their life at the end, I am sorry but I have seen a lot of cases.Depends how how much risk and risk appetite you have because if only taking risks was making people rich then the casinos would have shut down and the gamblers would be richest people. Knowing what is profitable is not always related to how much risk you are taking.
Do not pick a specific system that would tell you that a coin hit bottom, usually that may not work out the best way you imagine, you might actually fail and that system may show you something that is not just fully down yet. You know what is my understanding of a bottom? Not THE bottom but just A bottom, like not yearly lowest point maybe but lowest before it goes up type of situation?
Well, I wait for a coin to drop as further as they can, and eventually they stop, they don't go down anymore, and when it stops I wait another day, and if it is still there I buy it. But, this has to happen with at least 30-40% (depending on the coin) falls, if something went down 5% and stopped that is not bottom, but if something dropped 30-40% that means you are getting to bottom or very close to it.

actually there is no specific way to tell,even if we are certain still we are not in position to tell others what is our specific criteria because if can be true or either be wrong.
- When the price decreases x% on the weekly/monthly candle = nope i am not
- When the price moves below the weekly/monthly negative average = most of the time yes.
- Only a couple of times a year after a major correction = Yeah exactly i am doing.
- Just look at the chart and go on your experience / gut = i must say Instinct?
Remember we had all our own opinion and style in everything so lets decide our own.
Without taking such risks we can't be able to make such good profits, so don't be afraid of taking risks but it applies for bitcoin but if you apply the same going against the trend strategy then surely it has more chance of back firing.
A businessman could hardly be a teacher, crypto investors will also be hardly a teacher as well. People rather live where they have the confidence to work. The same thing that you buy coin/s base of how you wanted to be and that is your criteria.

Not all things would fitted for each people and there are really ones who do easily turned their back once they do saw that they can able to comprehend the risk on this market compared when they do invest into traditional stuff that we do know.It depends because confidence differs on each person in talks of investment and yes they do have their own specific criteria on when and how they would come out to the market.
Risk takes does really have more chance on making money compared to those who are doubtful from time to time.They wont really improve out themselves if they are just too scared to invest.

It is not possible to find perfect bottom of the trend to buy it for cheapest price so just buy when you see the prices are low and people are yelling bubble bursts. 
For sure the prices will increase once these things are done.

whether for Bitcoin or Altcoin ?, if Bitcoin waits at $ 8500, many experts predict it will go down there, but not 100% right,
you can buy 10% of your capital at $ 9000, for the better, if goes to $9500 you have a profit
you can buy 10% of your capital at $ 9000
, for the better, if goes to $9500 you have a profitIf you have this strategy and if it's working with you best to put your orders and allow the sway to go
according to the direction that you wanted to see.

It is risky to buy at dips because you will never know if it is the final dip or there will be another dip that may happen. Buying at dips are called counter trend strategy, which means that it has high risk because the selling pressure is too high.
I do have criteria when I do buying at dips, I first looking to the RSI and also to the chart. I plot support and resistance in the chart and I make sure that before I buy in dip, the price is near at the support level when I do long position.

Sometimes intuition is a very good indicator, in a book by Jesse Livermore he explains that part, he said that he had a hunch or a presentiment, in the middle of his business decisions he gave hierarchy to such feeling, and it was very helpful because he obtained expected earnings.
Of course, trading should not be seen as intuitions because it would become gambling, but many times the same subconscious can give you some signals.

If the Price of each currency falls at least 20-25% then that is what i think the best way to expect as Dip.I know its not an exact science but I've heard a few different preferences on this such as:

i don't really looking in graphs because i am not a analyst and this is my way of believing how my big buying will happen.
I can even spend all my capital again when this happens because i am always waiting for the right time to purchase as i am gathering capital on weekly or monthly basis from my work allowances .
I have certain levels if the price falls below a certain level or breaches the certain tolerance and considering the market situation I do buy the coins. Though not everything will go right because there are times when you think you bought at higher levels but overall when you look at it this will help you make profits and also exiting is equally important when invested for short term.
There are some tools to measure how far the price will fall and up like fibbonaci and even with support and resistence (which I think very accurate) it can help you to minimize the risk. Because for me, before I decide to buy some coin that I think it will be profitable in the future I'll see first the current trend. Although I'll hold it for long term investment but I have to know the lower price that will be face in order to I have good profit.
I dont really have a specific criteria when buying. If I have capital to buy additional coins then I will just wait for a dip (which is the common strategy) though its not easy to determine if the price is the bottom. Because we cant really say if the value is the bottom price before the recovery will happen, it can decrease further or turn up unexpectedly. So I just compared the current price to the previous movement then I will buy when the price decline.
