I'm sorry, but making choices that have serious consequences on your financial status because you have an "internal buy signal" is ridiculous.
There is no gut instinct in investing.
It is just human beings trying to rationalize and justify decisions that they are not sure about.
Wishful thinking does nothing in the face of cold hard facts, data, and economics.
Instead of wasting time trying to develop a "gut feeling" or "buyers instinct", get educated instead.
Learn as much as you can about market economics, interpreting real time data, and speculative market trajectories.
I guarantee that these will give you way more returns than trusting your feelings.
Also, there is no such thing as luck either.
Just random rewards, if you stick to something, statistically speaking you will eventually win something.
That doesn't mean that you have made significant financial growth over a sustained period of time.
Topic: Do you feel really, REALLY bad about your portfolio? (Read 497 times)
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
Ya, it's a bu signal, but don't have extra fund to invest and portfolio already cut x5 value, do you know that feeling? 
really hope my fund will ready before market rising
Yes, I now feel that my portfolio is very bad. I have invested all of my remaining 2 ETHs in a new cryptocurrency. As a result, ETH has gone up and my other tokens have fallen by 20%!
I don’t feel bad about the market value of different electronic coins in cryptocurrency
because I know it is not permanent and later on the market value will increase and that is the time I will get my profits.

Your portfolio should be formed after the research of what you want to buy and in what position the coin is now... If you bought in December-January 2017-2018 now your portfolio is not in the best shape. In the portfolio, it is better to have several well-known coins with growth potential and several coins very promising and young.
Agree with that. I call them the blues chips of crypto - the 10 that got the most trading volume.
80% of the stack and more.
Then 10 to 20% max into some "emerging" coins.
This is exactly the same as stocks.
Long term view, money management and diversification are the keys.

If you still have extra money left, you can and should buy. And many just have to wait for better times, because all the money is already invested and even fell in price
Your portfolio can go up or down every day, don't feel bad about it. I've diversified myself into some of my fav and great coins/tokens. I don't really care about how the market is doing right now. I'm holding onto my portfolio for at least 6 months.
Definitely yes. Even though I accepted these scenarios and somehow managed to stay calm but at the back of my mind I do feel very bad because of drastically losing the value of my portfolio.
no matter what happens in the market, I never feel bad about my portfolio. if my assets go down, then it's my own fault, because I've made a wrong investment plan and if my assets go up, then this is the luck I get.
Yes, situation with the market now not the best! All prices only also do that fall! Money on the account every day becomes less and less. I hope that shortly the bull after all will replace a bear!
very bad where my overall portfolio especially all my tokens below the price that I was expecting. I do not have a good signal when to sell and when to buy, so what I feel right now is very bad and sad. but with this incident made me learn to be more careful again so as not to lose in the future and try to hold while hoping the price will go up
I think now every investor feels bad if he looks into his wallet. I do not even look now in the wallet, because the price of my crypto coins has dropped very much, and it's unclear now when the market turns around and whether it will happen. I thought it was a month ago, but now the etherium is below $ 500, which no one else will.
At times i do feel bad and want to quit, but when i realized that when something is about to great, it always weaken someone then i continue to hope that things are going to be changed for good someday.
It is very hard to Stay calm during this blood waves, however, you should realize that market will recover soon or later and use this situation to buy more coins.
yes i was feeling bad several months ago when the price of majority cryptocurrencies were fall even i have to cut loss to save my money and honestly at that time i was regretting my portfolio why i choose bitcoin and some altcoins as my investment tools but currently i don't feel bad anymore because gradually i can recover my loss
Yeah sometimes I do but then I realised that it's because I compare my portfolio to times when it was worth more instead of comparing it to the worth it had when it was created. I think we all tend to forget that at the time when some of us invested the overall values of crypto was alot lower 
Strange is certainly a question, but in order to profit from altcoyin, you need time and endurance. You invest, you wait for promotion, you sell. That's all.
Hmn,, yes, its sad but we must accept this is crypto cycle, im still optimistic about my tokens which down 40% of its price :3
All of the altcoins I bought have fallen, and it's all. No one altcoin is green. This is really an unfortunate thing. I thought that investing in cryptocurrencies in 2018 would bring some benefits. 
Not totally. I don't put emotions on what's happening with my portfolio. I just add more and more during dips and troughs like what's happening today. I will only take profit upon retirement or when I reached the target price I have set. Currently, I enjoy watching the movements and waiting for a good entry point.
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
I feel really bad, I lost almost $2,000 over night. I should've sold some of my tokens last night before sleeping, however, I thought that I will just do it in the morning. When I woke up, I lost a lot of money already. I could not even afford to buy more during the dip since I was late on selling my alts to bitcoin.
Last night did hurt on my side also.
5.5k look like an easy target now.

The graph is so idealistic. Who would not want it to happen?
I don't know this "elliot wave" thing so I can't fully trust this. If it's gonna happen, we are talking for years, many years.
I fully agree with you, those cycle can take eternity.
Trading FX for long time I can tell you the pattern work.
But again a pattern is only a probability, the best is like 80% of the time.
There's is no blind shot - never.
And now about me I really study a lot since I started here and got to know more thing later on, about cryptocurrency and bitcoin investment and the way of being an investor about the techniques on holding and selling it, in short a traders life. Still I want to expand it I want to more and learn more, also to experience more like mining even mining only works on a good time that depends on the market value. So really no, I do not feel bad about my portfolio because just like user quierx16 learn to be Patient and hold if everything falls in the market
I know this sounds a bit "scholar" but looking at price action on a Elliot wave perspective (study), BTC is "only" in its 2nd wave (correction), next target would be 1.618 from last high.
So some like 35k.
Usual correction on wave 2 is 61.8% we done 70%...
Then maybe another dip under to get the stop one last time.
Holding long term is THE solution.
Fiat are dead anyway and stocks... got pumped like never since 2008.
Next game in town is the crypto!

I feel bad about it right now. All my token was down by 50% this past months.
I don'w have any choice now but to hold and wait for it to go back to its price.
This is good, you user quierx16 is the only full member I got to read a post about holding and not a post about panicking. People now a days should really learn to read and study about marketing and things when its about money lost.

Well at this point even how strong you truly believe in crypto there are times your patience are going to test you for how long you can hold on. As a long term hodler, im holding some of my coins in my crypto-portfolio for few years now like btc and eth. I can say I gain profit during their past peak price thus I think there's no point to feel down at the moment since I dont have anything to lose already. I just hope this bear market wont last long so other investors can cheer up again and continue to invest in this high volatile market.
Stay calm when yo see the charts do not feel bad even if you lose a lot just make sure that the money you lose is the one you were ready to lose and this is were it comes in Do not invest more money that you cant lose because this is were the problem comes in that this is the point were your patience are put into a test.
My portfolio gives me a heart attack when ever I check it, I don't bother checking anymore
Haha actually I uninstall it and just come back after everything is over. And in come with all the exchange hacking incident I won't be surprise that the market is in major dump. I was like slept last night with 25% losses but I woke up in the morning my losses was over 50% and counting. Likewise, I'll just buy more with this major sale of cryptos.
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
I do not feel bad about my portfolio because i knlw that i can arrange it to a better thing and i know that there is hope for everything i believe that something good will happen.
I do not feel very well in my portfolio. But I have several coins in which I believe that by the end of the year they will grow significantly in value. And then I will feel good already.
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
in my opinion, even though I did not experience it, but I can understand the feelings of bad for them. Many decided to go full time in crypto, nor will they deny that they feel a little disappointed to see every day how the market goes. But still, more and they hope that things will get better in the future.
I just hope this bear market wont last long so other investors can cheer up again and continue to invest in this high volatile market.
Feeling the same.
I understand wall street want to own this market but how low will they send it to crash all hope before they lift it?!
6k was low, like 70% correction of all btc historic price; not only the last move as "usual".
Next target would be like 78 or even 88%.
Gemme a P,... A....
Let's not call on drama.
5 to 5.5k - cracking previous low could do it.
All those stop loss...
Let's see!
Anything that has to do with money usually evoke strong emotion. The great investors and business men try to de-associate their emotion from their investment decisions!
This is hard to control being emotional when investing in cryptocurrency. Being patient is must involved in investing in crypto although our portfolio is really bad these days. Good also to buy in these red zone and hold till such time market is good.
honestly, I dont feel bad about my portfolio, majority of my holdings are BTC and ETH. with the bearish market right now, when BTC and ETH bleed, Altcoins bleed more. That time I will gain more altcoins and trade it for quick profit despite bearish market.

Stating the rule is easier then following it.
Not investing money you can't loose is the major idea.

Good also to buy in these red zone and hold till such time market is good. I have been watching the market closely all of 2018 and I haven't seen a confirmed breakout from the bear market as yet, There have been several attempts to breach $9,300 by Bitcoin and none have lasted for more than a few days at most. I take a long-term view when we face conditions like these and add to positions that I think will stand a good chance of recovery.
Agree with you 9500$ is 23% correction from last 6k low.
Over that would be bullish.
Weekly close haven't' do it, would need minimum monthly close over it.
But it looks 5.5k will be tested....
If you believe in the crypto market, then any lower price is an opportunity.
The question is more about money manage then if you believe.
Looking at Equity market, 2008 was the best time to buy.
If you trade on margin this is another story and need to manage you position.
Just buy and hold and flip when the price is high or you made good gain - keep a % then start again.
I remember price of btc at around 50$ in 2009
This was past.

,i highly believe about that and if it does involve emotions well it is really hard to de-associate, aside from that you cannot have a goodnight sleep also from worrying too much about your portfolio. I too had experienced this kind of situation that is why it is somewhat familiar to how does it feel. Maybe that is also why some businessmens go out for a trip to relax and unwind to forget all their problems for a while.

I also felt bad as my portfolio lost around 40-50% of its value since the last month but feeling bad about it doesn't change anything. Patience play a big role in this situation. Those who patient enough to hold will be rewarded with profit once the market recovered and the impatient one will lose their profit potential. I'm now waiting for the right time to buy more to average down my buy rate.

Although I did not experience it, but I can understand the bad feelings for those who buy in december or january. But some still survive, and it seems no worse than a surrender. Perhaps buying gradually can give a bit of variation on the portfolio, especially on Altcoin which has almost the same trend.
Now that I decided to go full time in crypto, I won't deny that I feel a little down seeing each day how the market is going. But still, more of me is hopeful that things will go better in the coming weeks, months or even years. I still believe in the line, "there's a rainbow always after the rain".
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
There seems to be no bad feeling to my portfolio, because I do not let it. Some of the coins have decreased in value, but I still believe them. If the token no longer matches expectations, immediately sell it, because in my opinion it only adds to the burden.
If you feel really, really bad. Then take it as a sign to accumulate more coins. That means it’s bargain hunting time. Always use the setbacks to your advantage.
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
Bad feelings of course have been felt by everyone, because the portfolio is always dynamic and the situation can change in one night. But feelings like this are important, to remind us, that we can not control the market. Although it is not very good at making decisions when experiencing bad feelings, it may also be a sign that we have to buy, because it seems like bad feelings come when crashes happen.
I want to say if I feel bad about it now. but we need more knowledge about the market we will use to make a smarter choice.
I had a coin that I had for more than 2 years. This is why I believe about holding for the long term.

In this heavy fluctuations in market, not only my portfolio everybody's portfolio looks bad. But this is temporary,. Once the market goes up everything will be settled.
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
Bad feelings come and go, along with price fluctuations. Currently the trend between coins with each other more or less the same, so the portfolio is not too much drama. Of course there are bad times, but I am ready from the beginning, that will face moments like this. So I do not mind too much.
Yeah, I know how you feel... my crypto portfolio has dropped dramatically in USD value since January, but I still HODL my altcoins and I'm not going to sell even if the price crash lower.
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
I am not very familiar with this discussion. but if you feel bad about whatever you do in the crypto industry, you should do research and seek knowledge so you can overcome things that can harm.
I now think my portfolio is bad, most of the time because I chose to buy crypto-currencies at the wrong time.
So in my view, it's hard to make money from the crypto-money market right now.

I think bad feelings are different from bad situations, because I have experienced bad feelings when the situation is good. That happens when we sell coins too quickly. But right now the situation is not very good, and it brings a bit to bad feelings. But it's natural, I think we should experience a moment like this to be more mature in the field of investment. But there's still a lot of optimism here, and when the portfolio situation is not very good, I can confirm that I'm fine.That feeling is your internal buy signal!
It could be a bad feeling is a sign we should buy, because usually bad feelings come when the portfolio is undergoing a big correction.
That is why capital management is necessary to speed up portfolio returns at reasonable fluctuations.
Buy signal, definitely. I myself am not a trader, but more like market observer. My friends are all buying at the moment, because they believe we are in a ride for another bump on the bitcoin graph, but it is hard to predict where it's peak will be. I think bitcoin definitely has a resistance point at lets say 6000$ and if not that then 5000$.
My portfolio has decreased to half. But I am still positive because a new cycle is expected to start in August which will be a bullish one. Just hodl tight till then when most of the coins will recover from this prolonged bear period.
To be honest, I feel at the moment not very well, because I have 60% of what I had some time ago. It remains only to wait for the improvement in the overall situation on the market.
Yeah my portfolio is like 90% down from what it was in dec-jan but im sure market will take a big reversal sooner or later so im not in a hurry i will wait for market to be back at the previous higjs, i will not sell in loss, thats my little strategy.
My portfolio was kinda not good today because it doesnt have any coin of it. All the bounty that i join is currently pending and waitinf for their product but still i keep possitive about it because i know there is a good on it
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
I never had bad feeling about my portfolio. I mean I have always chosen my portfolio with extra care because dude we are investing our own money and there is no way im wasting it just like that! Choosing my coins start with the project hype, how the team is working on, what are the project insights and more! If I see everything is legit and that coin will surely pump in the future then I always give it green signal and then add it into my portfolio. Without any research I never add coins. However if any coin go scam in the future then I dont consider it my mistake because its they who were untrusted one.
absolutely yes, i feel so sad with my bloody portofolio
but, all we need now is patience, we should be the strong hands, because the strong hands alway be the winner
i hope in Q3 the market cap will move up in significantly

Firstly, your feelings won't change anything. The most important thing is to understand the environment and find a way to maximize the opportunities. This is a very volatile market and we all know that, but what matters is what you do to take advantage of the situation rather than feeling worried or bad, otherwise, chill out, hold your stuff and smile later. Do not be an emotionally driven investor but a smart one, so you do not end up making wrong choices.
You don't have to take into consideration your feelings when you think about your blockfolio current rate, because it might force you to sell some amount of crypto savings. Be accurate with that.
I dont, because I dont even think or even care if the value of my portfolio will decrease. I will just hold my altcoins until the price will increase instead of thinking about it, and stressed myself on what will I gonna do with the current situation of the market.
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
I feel bad about it right now. All my token was down by 50% this past months.
I don'w have any choice now but to hold and wait for it to go back to its price.
I figure I will just toss it into my dusty coin pile and hope (cause that works) one day it takes off.
I've been there, done that. Way back 2017 q2. When XVG (verge) almost lost 90% in BTC wise. I'm so down that time. But I believe in that coin and HODL. And then luckily, Verge went beyond MARS in December. Leaving me 20x profit.
Timing and technology is crucial. Don't let your emotion tells you what to do because in the end of the day, crypto is here to stay.
some of my coins drop like 80% in usd value lol. That's doesn't matter though, in the long term crypto in general or would i say bitcoin specifically will rise again, and so does my coins
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
I just know and i fell that i need more and more knowledge cause our world is developing every day which mean that there are always some news that need to be read and understandable.
Seriously I am feeling really terrible about my crypto portfolio right now, Anytime i try so hard to build it up the bearish market will keep bringing it down the more. But There nothing I could do about the situation other than to hold my coins and keep believing and hoping for a good better day when everything will turn to green again and we enter into a real bull run days. I just wish the bullish days will soon come so that we will be happy again.
Well, I feel bad looking at my coin portfolio as most of my coins are bathed in red and is down to almost 50% when converted into USD. Although,as much as I feel bad about it, I am also happy about the fact that coins can be bought at lower prices at this time.
I don't feel bad about my portfolio. My asset value decreased when compared to USD value but amount of CryptoCurrencies that I hold grows
For me, there is no reason to think this is bad because my assets are growing and I believe prices will recover and grow in the future
For me, there is no reason to think this is bad because my assets are growing and I believe prices will recover and grow in the future
I feel very bad my portfolio goes down by 50 to 70 percent but I am still hoping for the best. Definitely it will bounce back and give me more gain than expected. So I still hold till everything is fine
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
just a little bit... When I decided to invest in an cryptocurrency. It tended to go down. Previously not so @@ I think the problem is the current market. That is why I just feel this a little bit. Maybe It'll be ok if the market is stable

No, i have a diversificated portfolio, so the bearish market is not scary to my funds. But of course i will have more if the market will be bullish like in December, 2017 
Guess the question is whether those coins you are invested in are likely to recover or not from their fall in price... chances are that so many of the cryptocurrencies fall in price hard - the recurring pattern of this, esp post ICO seems to never stop repeating itself. It's just like IPOs and shares.
Since most of the coins’ prices are low currently, we can make use of this good opportunity to buy more coin if we have spare cash. It will help to lower the average buy price and make good profits when market recover.

I feel bad about it right now. All my token was down by 50% this past months.
I don'w have any choice now but to hold and wait for it to go back to its price.
I agree with you. now I also have to wait or save it. because the price is erratic and the price is down. so I use it for storage. I hope the end of this year will increase for sale.
That feeling is your internal buy signal!
Even though I accepted these scenarios and somehow managed to stay calm but at the back of my mind I do feel very bad because of drastically losing its value. My portfolio would be much better to somehow just manage to retain its initial value but it has fallen so much that all I can do is to wait for it to recover.

No, I don’t feel bad about my portfolio since the it is overall in profit. These are the coins I have hold for more than 2 years. This is why I believe about holding for the long term.
Nevertheless, let’s not be bothered too much on the portfolio losses. It will recover once market become bull.

I think we need more knowledge about the market we are into to make smarter choices.
