Hi I was wondering if selling when you think a dip is coming and buying back in at a lower price? I know it seems obvious to do such a thing if it increases your position in a coin but I've been told this is a risky strategy that requires timing the top and the bottom

It does not have to be selling on top of the price because you cannot perfectly predict the price before it drops. But you can predict if the coin will go down or on a bear trend. Sell if you really are sure of it and buy it again when you know it will be going up again. It will make you profit if it goes down, and profit if it pumps. I do that, but the key here is patience and not to be too greedy. Small profit is good as long as it is constantly coming.

depending on your level of knowledge and trust. not all altcoins will use the same pattern, or maybe you can trade every day just to get the daily volatility. so you can do many things if you have experience

Everything has its own risk. depending on your confidence and can be said depends on your true fortune. it would be better because there are two better options you dare to take both. assuming if the loss of the one option then you will profit for the second option and even you have to believe you will be the utung for both of your choices. Self-esteem is better than being swallowed by fear.

If your judgment is at a falling trend, so you can sell tokens and at a lower price to buy these tokens, so when you buy again, the number of tokens you own has not changed, however you make some money.

If you want to rank up your position, then you might take such of risk eventually. HODL is great, by this way easily avoid losing sight of the bigger picture. If your alts are genuine its OK as good alts usually come back stronger once Bitcoin start being more stable.

Everything on cryptocurrency world is risky, even though your a long term or short term holders you will also take risk. But the good thing on taking so much risk is, you might have a lot of earnings or profit rather. Because i believe that, the higher you taking the risk the higher of success you can make.

I think there will be no another dip is coming. So it is better to not sell your coins and hold it for a ean time. And it is also good to buy another coins and made another investment in it.

I'm one out of million people who are holding bitcoin,it really hard to make a plan on how to make big profits specially if someone is still new to crypto(like myself).But most of the people say that buy when low and sell when high,which is hard to make a timing on it.I already lost some of my profit when its price dump to 9k,i hold it when its at 12k of price but i still holding it hoping that it will strike back.

sell when the price is high and buy when the price is low if the price of the coin failed high then it is better to hold coins, owned in the past until the price goes up again. If selling when prices fall so will not have any profit at all.

yes definetly. playing short term would risk much more than playing long term. but you could get more profit if you playing short term in case you doing it right. i would recomend to play long term cause it more profitable and low risk. playing long term and hold the coin that i trust is more comfortable for me rather than looking at trading site all day and hoping the price will increasing suddenly.

Yes, it is really a risky strategy, but it gives a very large profit. I trade on this strategy, it is not as difficult as it seems.

How do you do this? In order for this to work other day traders must be losing money somewhere, so you're essentially competing against and outperforming other humans. Every time I've tried to do this the coin has moved in unpredictable directions.

ok fine, you can do this strategy with one condition, you are a trading master or you have a secret information. if not, you are easy to lose your money.

Don't try to time the market especially like this or you will lose it all. Just add when you're bullish and sell some when you think is going down.

sometimes selling strategies at high prices and buying back at low prices make a profit because we can see the coins have potential and we can double the profits. so I think that's a great thing and risk can be minimized.

I use both of these strategies. About 70% of the capital I invest in coins for a long time. And I use 30% for speculation. But long is still more profitable for me.

When you see the trend of the crash, short is also a good choice. Long-term or should hold

Yes your right, it requires timing and also pure luck in short term trading and i will tell you this is not as easy as what you think. It needs more time to watch the movement of the price in the market and to analyze if it will go up or down. In my opinion, its still better if you choose a long term trading.
