Its all depends! Sell when you already satisfied in the price then buy when the price is down. Thats trading in order to earn you need to have great strategies when it comes in your coins.

In trading how do you know if it is time to still hold or is it the right time to sell? Do you go buy your profit margin  or actually wait for the highest possible peak?
For example if you're earning like 10% of your investment, would you just sell or would you be interested in waiting and seeing if it goes more up so you could earn more, in doing that its possible that it may go down and you then earn like 5-8%
But what is your process in this? How do you go about hold and sell timings?

I use a simple trading strategy. It has 3 technical indicators: MACD (12,26,9), RSI (7), Stoch (14,3,3). I use Daily bars

Im looking to buy  if MACD > signal and RSI > 50 and Stoch > 50. So, If it happened, I call that day (BAR) a signal bar. Next day I set the stop buy order on previous day (signal bar) HIGH.
I'm looking for a sell (close) when  TWO of THREE indicators become the opposite, if MACD< signal and RSI < 50 or rsi<50 and Stoch < 50 or MACD
Now Im triyng it on 1H charts

That's my approach

And whats your story?

HODL is the best effective strategy that we can use in order to earn big amount of money. Many people who became successful in trading used HODL. You should learn on how to use HODL strategy.

It depends on the market. Depending on the state of the market, I decide to sell or hold. Therefore, it is difficult to answer this question unambiguously.

Both hold and sell im doing this, but it is depend on the situition that you have it weather you gonna sell or hold it. Im doing selling if i see that it is the right price to sell your coin.

The best way to know this is to know your needs. Know yourself. If you don't the best possible path you should take is to earn as much coin as you can and hold it till its value increase. You should set a margin on how much profit you should gain in order for you to start selling it
Honestly, now they will be regretting about what they have done. Wait I shouldn't sell it right now. Right. Hold it a little more. Having patience and giving yourself a straight clear margin is the key in trading
Yet, it is also great if you hold your bitcoins especially if you have enough amount because there's a chance for you to get double you money.
Well i think it is depend on the present price holding for a long term is no use at all if we can really gain at present price because i believe that we are all here  for  good and for gaining a huge amount so then if we can gain today then sell it but if we need to hold then hold it bitcoin is really amazing we can really gain on it even in a verry short period of time.
It all depends on the way you analyze the market. As for me, most time I set a profit margin and if the price reach the targeted percentage I will see. But if from my analysis of candle stick show that the price has brake the support I will wait and see the next movement of about three candle stick before I will sell.

I tend to keep more than sell because the cryptocurrency market is really great and you can not predict what will happen. If you think it is potential it is best to keep at least a few months as it can help you increase your profits very quickly

and what we should do now? maybe this is stupid question but i just a newbe. would you guys give me a advice what should i do for now? my heart is broke looking my assets with 50% losses  Cry
If you are already going in loss, then selling of your coins cannot help you in gaining anything profitable as you will lose your money instead of gaining more money.

You have to remain patient and you need to keep holding your coins for as long period of time as you can. You need to wait for the time when the market value of the coins which you having goes up once again.

It should be all about the coin you are intend to hold or sell. If the coin you have is a shit co in that won't make any different in months or even years to come, then it is advisable to sell them off quickly to prevent loss or any thing related to that. But If you have a coin that worth it or that has a potential of making great income in years or even months. Then it is advisable to HODL . And during that period of course there will be a time when it might dip, do not have a double mind but keep on hodling.

talking about bitcoin for now you have to hold your coin, do not do panic sell because it will make you loss and regret, in my opinion btc will rise again in mid year 2018 will even skyrocket from before

i base a lot of my trades on fibs, and previous highs, fractals,... sell a small portion on every target hit.. and eventually you can sell at the top. (mostly with alts - you can also do this vice versa to find bottoms).

in crypto it doesn't make sense to sell all your assets, otherwise you'll find yourself gruding why you didn't hold longer or sell sooner.. If you bought a lot of bottoms in December, then the best strategy is to sell 10%, 25% or 50% of your assets when they all hit between 150-500% increases, and hodl the rest.. truth is we don't really know where any of these coins are going (we can guess and estimate), but most people who sold at the top is based on luck...

when all indicators show oversold, out of bollingers, exhausted, then by all means make a small sell.. i just wouldn't sell your whole position. Save those earnings as ammo when high volatility hits again, and big dumps come in play..

hope that helps a little, in essence there is never really a "right time to sell", should be up to you, and if you are pleased with a x2 gain,  by all means congratulate yourself and be happy with your earnings!!!  Grin Grin

happy trading/investing!

Hold if you trust project you invested and you believe it has potencial in next few years
Yeah we should all hold those coins that has potential in growing more in the future. And trade those that can give us quick profit. We can also take our capital if we think that we already profited enough and just let the remaining investment af wait for it to grow more.

usually buy and sell in small quantized trades. on certain threshold i sell again, say 0.25 BTC at + 20%. Then all at 50% or if there are some consistent drops, hinting at the possibility of deeper drops.
It's a bit slow trading, but it's very safe.
