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.

In this particular business, good timing is highly needed, we must carefull and watch price movement, and we must think posotively of all we want to do in this business, because every people who enter on this business are for the purpose of profit and mostly people afraid on losses were no longer profit.

buy and sell is more risky compared to holding and you have to be active all the time. every change of price will affect you ether it will be good or bad. for me i prefer to hold that to buy and sell.

I prefer to Hold, because the profit is greater than Short, although the risk if we hold greater than if we only invest or trade in a short time. but it does not matter because if the coin that we hold increases the price, we can get a very big profit.

Of course HODL! Short - it is only in appearance a very simple strategy. When it comes to action, you can't be 100% sure that you're acting at the right time.

Bitcoin's chart is showing some bearish trend so you might consider selling before it happens,and rebuyback from the dip so you could make a lot of money from the upcoming bloodbaths,but you need to be careful because the monthly chart of BTC is still bullish,eitherway if you are trapped into some altcoins the best thing would be to HOLD.

As we know, human are cant be ever feel enough, i think you only need to sell if you think its enough then. Meanwhile Holding is just an option between get more profit or get your money taken away.

If usually sell if its enough, because my asset still small then i cant take a risk like that

It's completely up to you and whatever are your goals.
Shorting is risky for sure, but it's much more rewarding than just hold and watch prices every day, cursing for the missed opportunities.

Some people prefer quietly to hold, other like me prefer the adrenaline of every day of shorting and trading.

I like to hold coins. Selling and buying to increase your position is very risky and there are fees involved too. I like to buy and hold coins for the long term. I am missing profit from selling and buying but I cannot lose my coins either.

I personally is not a typical of day trader who only hold coin for very short time. I usually looks at the project first. If good then I buy it. For now I am very focus on masternode coin. My best masternode for long term holding is XCPO. But now I also interested in an ICO project called INTRO, may be it can be success.

It's a risky strategy because you could be wrong and the price may be nowhere near the top. It's a very good strategy to adopt if you have held a coin and you are already happy with your returns but believe in it for the longer term. You can take your profits and then if a good position comes to re-enter you can take it, if not you move on to something else.

Patience and knowledge are gold.

Basicaly on this time from what its happening now you should buy more because the prices are goin to get higher and even more than before. bitcoin is expected to hit heights like 40-60k . but if you are too afraid just hold.
