when the alt coin is pumping, then it is not easy to sell all coins. Previous two or three month ago, it was record highest pumping of all coins. Then, I sell 30/40% alt coins and Now I am thinking, if I sell all of coins. I lose my token now because of dumping alt-coin price, so, whenever, you got a huge profit or good profit, you should sell 90% altcoins.
I think for experience traders, selling when the price is pumping is the right thing to do when you satisfied with you're profit. Don't be greedy. You should be easy to sell when pumping rather than the time when the price is already down. Am I right ? I think that's the right decision to do. I just follow my TA when I'm about to sell my altcoins then it doesn't matter for me if the price goes up. I just wait another dump market then buy again. We should also be updated in the news that could affect the market price. 
Topic: How do you know when to sell? - page 8. (Read 2189 times)
I know its an individual thing, but if you are in an alt and it is pumping...when is the best time to sell? I feel as though every-time I am in a coin that starts to make some good gain I leave it to long to sell..Anyone else do that. I heard it is because of greed, we star imagining all things we can do with our new profits, but the longer we leave it the more chance of not making good profits. Does anyone have a good strategy for knowing when to sell?
You actually answered your own question: it depends upon the individual.
Generally, there are certain indicators in the market that will tell you when is the time to acquire/sell your coins. Same in stocks, you must be updated both in the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that will help you arrive at a decision. In addition, you must also determine what price you should stop HODLing your coins in order to prevent further loss.
There is no absolute solution and indicator for this. Everything will depend upon your own decision and goal from the very beginning.

If you are holding an altcoin you need to always get the latest update about that altcoin, the news, plans, developement, marketing etc., and you also need to set a limit on when to sell with profit. It is normal to sell when you already have a profit based on the limit that you set. Dont be greedy if there is already a profit then grab it. 
Crypto trading is risky and no one know the perfect time to sell cause market prediction will never provide 100% accurate result but what's important is you understand the risk involve in crypto market, understand the promising level of the project/coin you picked interest in and set an exit plan.
It just only pure speculation, we live in this market where we are not 100% about the incoming. We never know when to sell and as well as when to buy. We usually use our common sense and this is really hard for those who are not good at this. What I mostly did in making a decision when to sell, is when the time has come that I'll be seeing some profit. the words "speculative market", means it's a prediction game, you win, you lose, that's the game.
but indeed in trading is not as easy as we imagine because we have to learn it so as not to make wrong decisions,
besides that we also need to follow market movements so as not to miss the moment
I think the instinct would probably be the answer to your question because you really don't know if bitcoin is ever going to go up much more so you sell at a point. Also, another reason would probably be the need, if you really need the money and you have no other way to make money, then you have to sell it.
Need and requirements are the most important things that force a trader to sell his coin.
If there is no pressure and no urgent money required, then IMO holding for longer period is more beneficial.
Also if you can control over your greed, then no one really can stop you from profits.
If you ask for the right time to sell, then it depends on which coin you are holding.
If you think you have got sufficient profit from the current coin, then just sell it.
If you show greed and wait for long, then ultimately you will face losses.
Basically, of course, we have to look at the trending market prices from time to time and have broad insight that can dig up information or things that can affect price movements on certain coins,until we can determine the time period to start it.
buy low sell high it's just a basic of what we're trying to, determining which coin to choose is also important in terms of its price movement.

Buy and sell totally depends on you but i always try to buy in deep and sell it high though we all do same mistakes in everytime but for selling your coins you can follow markets conditions, fundamental news and technical history too.
^ I rather choose the keep buying than selling.Kowing the fact that when you sell is a very simple way, from the start of your investment in BTC, you should write it down in what price in the market you have purchased your BTC and then, just aim an amount that you want to sell your BTC, in that strategy, it is impossible you did not know when is the perfect time of selling. I also suggest, don't be too much greedy in making a profit in crypto, because sometimes it will cause your losses.

I will not call it because of greed. For example, if you manage to hold your dogecoins till now then probably you might be at least 20x richer than what you had been some four years back. So, continuing crypto holding may not be classified as greedy action in my opinion. But definitely you must have some strategy on where to book profits and it can be your personal requirement or you may go for % based calculations.Traders might be having technical support on where to sell but for long-term holders it will be definitely a very big dilemma on making decision on when to exit. For these purposes, I'm always suggesting to go for looking for personal things and make decisions according to that.

@Ziskinberg, trading is profitable but its not for everybody especially those that cant deal with their emotion or lack adequate crypto knowledge and factors that will impact the price of the market.
If the altcoin is pumping, that will be a good time to sell, especially if the price can reach our target price. Having a target price will be important so we can sell and make a profit. Besides that, we can prevent the greediness that will comes if the price increase higher. If you ask about when is the best time to sell, that will depend on yourself because we have different strategies for selling the coin.
Maybe you can sell the coin when the price increase by 20% from the price you bought. If that happens, you can sell it right away and do not look back to the coin because that can make you want to buy back the coin. And if you do that, you might buy the coin at a high price while you do not know if the price can still increase or not, and there is nothing you can do except hold for more if the price is down suddenly.
For the strategy used, it is better to have a main strategy and a backup strategy when the price cannot reach the main target. This is very important in order to be able to profit even when the market is not good.Maybe you can sell the coin when the price increase by 20% from the price you bought.

Short term, mid term and long term have different time spans.
some people prefer to do short term but some of them also do long term.
I do both to get daily profits using a short term strategy or daily trading, while for some potential coins I use a long term strategy with a price target that I have determined by analysis.
when to sell?, yes I know it, make sure you understand about support and resistance, and if you understand that,
it will be very easy to know where we should sell and buy, okay, here I will discuss a little,
that support is the time to buy if you have the money and time to sell if you have assets or when the market situation worsens,
for resistance is the same as that, only resistance is above, while support is below on the price.
- Yes, the techniques invented by our forebears can help us see the bright spots for selling, based on the chart and the available prices, we just need to master the information and combine with the knowledge, a price to sell will be formed in our brain. This is a method based on expertise in that knowledge is relatively abundant and restrains emotional attachment, one method that also frequently appears is an emotional equation, they look for the right deal and price in emotion, this is also a way to know when to sell but is relatively unreliable it will be very easy to know where we should sell and buy, okay, here I will discuss a little,

To sell at High, of course. But the question is when?
In that case, it was an individual decision. It is a need for us to analyze the market so well and think we become lucky to sell it at the highest price before it falls.
I certainly can't tell you nor someone could tell that. The only thing I can suggest to you is not to be greedy, having 5-10% was enough for me.
You have to set a target price when to sell, this will help you to determine when to sell.

You need to set your target according to how you understand the movements,
buying low and selling high is very common to hear or to read when in terms of trading investment,
But how good you are in making the right decision or taking the right position placing your buying and your selling orders.
It's more on your instinct and knowledge when deciding for your investment, the more you understand things inside the better you analyze your position.

People think trading is profitable, that's a wrong perception, trading is like gambling, when one wins the other loses. It's very simple to understand, and it's necessary since it's a basic knowledge everyone should know before they start trading so they'll always make a realistic action.
the words "speculative market", means it's a prediction game, you win, you lose, that's the game.
Well, it is a bit different than gambling. In trading you may or may not make a profit and it is "gambling" in the words sense, you risk something and you may win or lose. However the real gambling has house edge, which means you will always and always lose in the long term, there is no scenario where you will end up winning in gambling as long as there is house edge, this doesn't mean you will lose each time, obviously there are times when you win, but in the long run house edge will cause you to lose all of your money for sure without a doubt. the words "speculative market", means it's a prediction game, you win, you lose, that's the game.
This is why I think it is quite obvious gambling and trading are different things, I personally believe that there is a good chance we could end up with profits in the trading world, it is not going to be that simple but it is definitely out there and possible. So that is the difference between those two things, not similar at all.
