Nobody wants to be monitoring the prices all day with the cursor on the sell button just waiting to click the mouse, so how do you decide when to sell?

If you set up an open order with a low target price, you'll be disappointed when the price climbs well above your target price.
If you set up an open order with too high a price, you might not sell at all.

What's your strategy?

I sell at a high enough price to make a good profit. Then I put in an order to buy at a lower price on a dip. The problem is that sometimes you sell high and the price just keeps going up. When this happens you really don't have a good option because this year if you sold at $2500 thinking that was a high, then you saw the price jump to almost $5000 and we may never see $2500 again.

This happened to me so I bought some altcoins instead and I'm trading those now. The other option is to buy more Bitcoin at a higher price than you sold but that goes against the buy low sell high rule. The bottom line is don't sell all your Bitcoins. If you get in this situation, you will still be holding some for long term.

My strategy is that I will make a review on the move of the coins I am going to buy, I have to know what is the lowest price and the highest price move. Then, I will try to make a buy higher on the lowest price to buy and make a sell lower than the highest to sell.
to me i personally try mu best to study the market on regular bases, i also try to get the analysis of experience people and also expert opinion, i have good relation with some people who are too much experience and have good analysis experience, and with the help of such opinion i decide and take a decision either i should sell my bitcoin or to wait for some more time.

It completely depends on you my friend because you need setup your goal by how much profit you need from this coin. Some people will sell them when they made more than 10% from their investment. It depends on how much % you are expecting from the coin and at the same time you have to wait patiently for your desire % till the coin grows.
I agree on the statement. It always depends person to person.
Whatever percentage you have decided to earn is your time of selling. When you get your percentage, just sell it don’t wait for more and get new one. It may vary to the profit earning demand.

Deciding when to sell in the crypto market is a hard problem. You can not be sure how much it will be high and when it will come down, early sell will take too little profit but wait too long you will be able to lose your profits. How much is enough, the question has no answer.

I just look when the price reaches a high mark and sell. I think there is nothing complicated in this and it does not always take a lot of time to follow all the news.
That's good, but if a price target is not set then one cannot sell bitcoin for a longer time period. The reason is that bitcoin keeps increasing in value. Based on this reality fact, I always have an target price for selling and once it reaches particular price used to sell the bitcoin for required amount.

If i see coin increase that i have I will make a research first so i can know they have possible to increase more or decrease. I will always monitor all coin everyday even im busy because its business. And for most of them are also busy like me and you will never escape trading even you are busy . Because if I do that I can monitor what coin is good to sell and buy.

Research, analysis, and the creation of a plan is the most important thing in trading. Well indeed as you say, that everything should be done in a way that is measurable and not origin in taking decisions. Because the world has a fluctuating cryptocurrency incredible prices harm for those who trade in a way that is not true or carelessly. Self control is also extremely needed in trade, not necessarily coin that just has a pretty good price increase gives the advantage to us and vice versa. The plan is the most important thing, after doing analysis, and research

simple

you don't sell.

I mean, you've just described it yourself

you are sitting everyday monitoring the market, nervous when to buy/sell

that makes you nervous and trading is taking its toll in the long-term (no sleep, sweat breaks etc.)

Just hold and take the decision not to sell for the next five years.. you will immediately feel a sense of relief

   You just described long term strategy and that is my favorite one, holding for long term is my plan. It is easier then day trading, I do not plan to follow price movements every day,
and lose time on that. The hardest thing is to chose right alt-coin for investing, after that relief will come.
   I have some plans and goals, and I will sell in case I achieve them earlier or if I see that my initial investment is going down fast. Do not sell is advice for people who have a lot of
faith in some coins, can you share which alt-coins you do not plan to sell? I would like to hear your opinion, your comment looks like you are very confident in some alt-coins and it
would be nice to know in which one.

Seeting amout when to dispose your coins ia the best thing to so in trading than watching the graph all day long. Better set amount and when you already see such value then sell it. It is hard to tell when will be the right time for selling it so better plan it as long as you earn from it.

I decide how much profit is required and keep a sell order according to my target. I monitor the price and wait for the sell order to complete.
If there are changes to be made then i cancel the sell order and make a new one accordingly.

Its depends on your strategy and everyone has their own strategy and has their own principles, for me I just make a order if I have 10% of profit,, although the price of Coins will be even higher I will not think much about it because my target is just 10% of profit

I agree with your opinion. Indeed everyone has thoughts and strategies when trading, but I just take 10% profit of the capital that I spend. This way makes me be in secure position when the market is unstable. But sometimes psychological more prominent than logic when trading.

That's a safer way to look at it, setting up a conservative goal. I think that's more appropriate for day trades with coins that go up and down pretty quick. If it's btc, i'm not going to settle for 10% and will probably hold until i double my monet at the least
