Topic: How has trading been for you during this Ukraine and Russia war (Read 628 times)

The inconsistency of the market is the problem for me, I keep seeing stuff that would be easy to handle if I could, but usually that ends with me having absolutely no result at all like I expected, then I expect nothing and suddenly I get a good result.

Like yesterday I made some small investment to grow my bitcoin amount and nothing more, I had no expectation that it would go up, but it went up a little bit, if I was trading then I would have made some profit, not a huge one of course but combine all these small ones and you get something big yearly. The war causes the market to be a bit more volatile than usual, which was already volatile compared to other markets.

Some of the differences are seen here and some are not seen here. What has not been seen yet is the same but the risk here is instability and since trading has been talked about it is not always going to win.  In the event of a war, even if we do not see the market as fully flowing here in trading activities, the price will go down and that is normal.

There is always an advantage if you trade with skills and expertise because even if the market creates unstable prices, you can still find ways to make your trades profitable. Something that newly traders can't relate. But as for me, i was focused more on DCA and take a break from trading when i think the trading market is not sufficient enough to provide profits.

So this was 20 days ago before this thread had been created and asked a question.If you do tend to look at on the price then its sitting around $47k which you had made out some profits on just simply

holding that 20 days without doing anything.For those who had make out some active trades then price is a bit volatility but i dont see for the war is the sole reason on why we are seeing that.
Sentiments around or news wont really be a solid thing for you to look upon and made out your decisions basing to that.

The market has become very unstable during the Russian and Ukraine war so i was not able to do a lot of trading activities. Instead, i focus more on buying and hodling some of my favorite coins. I only trade when i see good timing to trade but since most of the days the market has been affected by the war, so i stopped trading for a while. However, good and skilled traders are still making profits from the market despite of how unstable the market is. That is the good thing about them because they seem not affected at all.

Doesn`t it happen like all the time? I believe that we as traders just need to catch this swings and predict the way the market is going to lead. But I think it is still to early to claim that dollar became weaker and crypto market began to rise again. I still see the recent increase in the price of bitcoin as a correction, not a change in the trend.

I have noticed this likewise that a weak dollar propels the stock market and bitcoin to rise. This is because more investors will prefer to hodl their assets in cryptocurrency and bitcoin and chase more dollar for buy this keeps bringing the dollar down.. What usually bring dollar back is high impact news and if it favours dollar then the trend of the market will change again, this becomes a circle and some record loses while others smile in profit.

Early days of the war is a huge mess for bitcoin because it ignite the fear of the people and afraid to hold their balances since many fud then tell about dump is coming. But now all change when government of Russia announce that they use bitcoin for their transaction especially when doing transaction with oil in their country. Also good thing that we see that thing happening because right now bitcoin is going strong and we might see some good pumps that will happen in next following months.

It is true that ever since Russia launched its massive invasion of Ukraine, the crypto market is much more volatile than before. Maybe what you
say is true, the impact of the war is quite large on crypto price movements, especially the price of Bitcoin is rising now. Based on my experience
trading crypto during the war, to be honest I managed to get a satisfactory profit. But I'm still worried that the current Bitcoin price hike won't
last long.

Because we know the crypto market is volatile, it could be that the Bitcoin price will drop again in the next few days. But I also hope that
Bitcoin's current rise can still continue, at least Bitcoin can touch the price of $50k in the near future, if that happens, the demand for Bitcoin
will increase even more. We can only patiently wait for what will happen to Bitcoin, I hope something more positive happens.

Regardless of which direction the Bitcoin price will move, for now perhaps the most important thing is that the war between Russia and Ukraine
can end soon and be resolved peacefully. Because war will not produce anything good, there are always many negative effects of war.
So as a human being, I am very worried about the condition of the civilians who are victims of war. Fortunately through crypto we can help war
victims through various donations that accept crypto, maybe this is one of the things that makes the market go up. Because quite a lot of people
donate through crypto, because the process is much faster than giving help through fiat.

Absolutely right. The price of Bitcoin has increased from 38K to above 47K since war started and trading volumes are increasing on all major exchanges including Binance, I think economic sanctions on Russia are playing an important role behind price hike of Bitcoin. The other possible reason could be Saudi Arabia and UAE decision to trade crude oil in Chinese Yuan which is very negative for US Dollar index. A weaker dollar is always good for Stocks and Bitcoin.

I had no clue about where anything was going in light of the fact that a couple of the moved were very strange yet beside that it's simply facing less challenge in each exchange since you can take more exchanges in any case. The bitcoin instability is without a doubt high and the cost is shaky, this can be effectively utilized.

Since the war started, there has been a net increase in bitcoin price, I remember bitcoin was around $38000 when the war started but now at $47500, it even got to $48150 recently. Anyone that hold or buy during this the time make profit already. Even since the invasion, we do not experience anything new yet about bitcoin price the price only show increase during the time and trading going on good. But that does not chant the fact that trading is risky.

It is certain that the impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine, a little big will certainly have an impact. because we know that both countries are big crypto players. always every big country that there is a problem, then bitcoin will respond.
it should also be remembered that every time something like this happens, it is certain that this will not last long. because bitcoin has experienced an incident like this not just once and bitcoin can keep it from being corrected deeply.

if you look at the movement of bitcoin from mid-March until now, it has an increasing trend and has not made a drastic decline like last month. with the price already above $45K the possibility to be able to break through $50K there will be that opportunity. momentum to continue to increase may occur after breaking through $50K, we are waiting patiently.

once again the war actually created new difficulties in the warring countries and had no significant impact on bitcoin. therefore stop the war and start holding negotiations, because war will always create new difficulties for themselves.

It relies upon the market, there will be days I will exchange for bull, most particularly when bitcoin reward is going to divide once more. The bitcoin unpredictability is to be sure high and the cost is unsound, this can be effectively utilized. Make an effort not to frenzy, and you will see trust when the cost increment

Yes, eventually the war between these two countries is likely to get better or even end, the BTC 'may grow in price, but if the war lasts longer and goes long term, both for Ukraine and for Russia the BTC is the best way out for them, because it is the way that the money arrives immediately and safely, in addition to the case of Russia, it is the main tool for them to establish communication with the money and to bypass all the restrictions that are drowning the Russians .

If all of Russia decides to use BTC as an economic tool to move their money, we would be talking about a great demand in the BTC market, this would be a great advantage for the market, which is positive from negative.

In the midst of a war of attrition between Russia and Ukraine, I found myself taking a break from trading. However, in this market I was able to earn 2000 from an investment. Cryptocurrencies in Russia and Ukraine have been pro- and anti-cryptocurrency, which has had a profound effect on the cryptocurrency market.

Price had never become stable and it doesnt matter whether there are events or sentiments that do happen around the globe and come to think and observe that the price hasn't move out that well despite of this war

crisis that we are facing on thats why when it comes to fundamentals then i dont really do believe that it could really make out some significant effects on the market and speaking or asking out my trading
with these times arent really that much of difference and just like these ordinary days on which prices are still moving as always.

Everyone likes to buy btc when it's cheap and not all of them are long time holders but 2x correction looks pretty brutal if we are at 60k last time and price corrected at 30k, that's only 1x correction so if it's 2x, the price will nearly go down to zero? damn. I am not sure if that can cause for people to panic buy or maybe they are going to panic literally thinking that it's now the end of bitcoin.

People have different sentiments about the war, some say wars affect the prices of the coins while others say it didn't. If you believe that wars are nothing against the price then you can trade normally. It's always better to trade with a peaceful mind.

Actually, money is coming to the cryptomarket precisely because the war began. The cryptosphere has become one of the largest grounds for subsidies and dotations for Ukraine on the one hand, and a platform for circumventing sanctions by russia on the other. We would hardly see a fairly stable price for bitcoin during the month of the war without this circumstance. The market has not fallen, there are no abrupt changes, everything looks pretty stable.

That is true, nobody know if bitcoin price will rise or fall this time but I do not see any effect the war is having yet, all just seem like how bitcoin should be even if there is no war at all, we all expect corrections this year and it is happening. Bitcoin price rose to $43000 again today, but that does not yet mean the price will not decrease again. But I know that with 2x correction, people can buy bitcoin, but only people that want to hold for long time.

It is not a bear market. Just because the price is not 70k, you can't call it a bear market. We haven't been under 35k for months now and we have been going up nowadays as well. The price constantly getting those kinds of increases do mean something and you should be focusing on getting better and better at it.

Obviously we are not at a high price right now but just because we are not at ATH doesn't mean that you could call it a bear market. Bear market means market is going down, are we going down? No, we are not going down right now. I believe that we are in a bull market or start of a bull market right now and that should be something to cheer for.

Basically the war in Ukraine and Russia is not the reason that coins dropped because bitcoin was already down before this war, so we may not look at whether coins are down now but how we have been able to manage to get some profit despite it is still bear. During bear also some traders are able to spot right time to buy and scalp out some profit. Buying and selling still going on as the fight is on likewise because Russia still buying from China and tries to survive and finance the war, Ukraine also getting military help and cryptocurrency to finance and sustain the people, Oil and gas are still traded.

I also advanced this argument that if anything, the awareness and demand for Bitcoin has kept it from crashing and dumping as the war goes on. Otherwise, we should be seeing a Bitcoin in the $20k region by now if not that donations to Ukraine in Bitcoin further exposed Bitcoin to the world and demand soared. I want this demand to continue as the market meanders through this tough and rough first quarters of 2022. I believe the second quarter will present a stronger price momentum. We've even started seeing flashes of it already. At the moment, Bitcoin is trading above $41,000 and April which marks the beginning of second quarter is less than 10 days away. This is a good development.

Indeed, more profits with low risk by scalping while you've big capital. However, my most of the capitals are into new projects and i'm good to go with leverage trading. Although my suggestion would be same as yours as market might not be in our favour all time. Also any kind of panic would effect on our TA/FA. 

The war between Russia and Ukraine is one of the big events, so it is natural to affect the world economy, including affecting the crypto market.
Because since the war broke out, crypto movements are more volatile than usual, so indeed the amount of my losses increased slightly when
trading crypto. But since I'm quite experienced in the crypto world, I was finally able to cover my losses by changing my strategy a bit when trading.
In conclusion, we must be able to find an effective trading strategy according to market conditions, so don't panic if the market moves beyond
our expectations, because there will be a solution to every problem. After all what you say is true, crypto is already very popular, especially Bitcoin
has begun to be known by many people, so the effects of the war on the crypto market should not last long. Because I am also very optimistic that
the crypto market will recover and be bullish again.

You do not even have to do leverage, it has been going up and down between those same prices so many times that if you do spot trading with a big enough capital, you could buy and sell at the right prices and could make a good profit. Buy when it is under 39k, sell when it is 41k and check how much you would have made in the last 1 month. That would be awesome even with spot trading, but if you are doing leverage and know the direction that would have been even more amazing.

These "calm" periods makes it easier, you do not lose too much and you could earn so much if you just do it in repetition. Not easy to do of course but quite low risk high reward situation.

TBH, trading is going well and happy to have small profits rather than losses. Last 2 weeks was the best time for doing leverage trading if you're well skilled on it, IMHO. Although this war is having huge impact on the ido/igo projects, but still on profits as ROI rate is down compare to previous months. Personally, war is giving us more opportunities to continue doing DCA if it isn’t turned into WW3. 

I am interested in such a question. There were quite a few crypto farms in Ukraine before the war. I have reason to believe that their work may now be limited or suspended altogether due to constant attacks, as well as power outages. russia also does not have the best conditions to support the work of farms. I wonder why the market is not responding to the fact that many farms are shutting down, and this is happening at the same time with a large number of them. Maybe someone can clarify this question for me?

There is no financial impact for me personally, in crypto trading, because Russia and Ukraine are part of Europe and I am part of Asia, overall for now still in normal condition.

I actually experienced positive changes in trading where some cryptos are currently still stable in the market, both with Bitcoin and also other types of crypto, for me personally it is still normal and under control and I can still make profit in crypto trading.

---

I'm even more worried that if world war 3 happened, it might have a big impact on the crypto market as a whole, maybe it will cause a little obstacle in doing trade, many factors can affect if world war 3 occurs, but the war between Russia and Ukraine is not that serious and the effect for my country is safe.

The market has not been too volatile since the way began. But there will always be loss and gain.

I'm not the day trader type but usually, with my trades, I just go along whatever the market is dictating. No war or season changes since I'm an all-in holder but still do casual trades, I have no problem with it and treat it just the usual day. Always check the market's sentiment and news about it that can change the market's situation quickly temporarily. In result, I can say that it's totally fine and not that much in terms of losses, I've made a profit but it's not that a lot unlike the others who were able to make that much money.

Since Ukraine and Russia use relatively more cryptocurrencies worldwide. So it is only natural that  would have an effect on the cryptocurrency for the war. But since Bitcoin is now a very popular currency worldwide, this effect will not last long. Prices of other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, will recover again

Well this is true and I noticed this too while there is a war that happened.
Perhaps people that want to keep their privacy purchasing or selling their bitcoin even under the market price, want to have a quick result on P2P so if you are a big player there you will perhaps have a profit. As we can see no, bitcoin price showed a resistance then it seems to have a correction again, it is very hard to tell about the situation where bitcoin price headed at.

This period and it uncertainty has really messed up with me with regards to my trading.
The number of losses I have got so far,  exceeds what I have actually gained from the market due to market fluctuations recently experienced, In general it has not been profitable in my side, hopefully better days are coming.

To invest and then sell them for not so long time can still be considered to as trading. It only means that you are not affected with this war because you still did it, that's nice as your showing that you are brave not unlike to others that are doubting now if they will buy and sell because they think the price can change quickly so they are waiting for a better moment to initiate a trade.

The profits you get might be small to you but if you will only realize that getting that small profit was not easy, you will still feel very proud of yourself, it is a priceless move. Depends on what altcoins you trade as some altcoins are like btc too that aren't risky at all.

This war has made the market difficult to follow. Alot of traders if they will be honest will tell you that they have been watching and making guesses without trading during this war. It is better to observe and wait for the right time when the market will become stable than trade and lose your money.


Am doubting if there are people who can trade in war torn zones or states and still make profit because once the mind is not settled or at ease, trading becomes a big risk. I pity traders in Russia and Ukraine. Traders in Russia may not even be under pressure like those in Ukraine because it is not hit like Ukraine is.

I keep thinking about the reasons, why we don`t see big changes, that seem to be rational, as the war is quite an occasion for market to react to. Now I am near the conclusion, that this war has brought lots of doubts about structure and expediency of the modern world and its landmarks. Parents begin to realize their children won`t live better than they did, exapt of decades of such expectations. Young people don`t know in which world they are going to live at all. Many thinhs people used to believe in are coming to dust and unrealised illusions. Maybe such a dissapontment also befell the crypto market. The market does not grow and does not fall, it is frozen in anticipation, it is on the thumb. Many hopes were pinned on this area. But this sphere is part of a world that has clearly failed. I don`t know if humanity will find new hopes and landmarks, but I hope that the crypto market will be among them.
 

Have not traded much in these times due to some other reasons but have invested some amounts which i cash out with this little bull run.Although the profits were minimal but i was satisfied as altcoins are risky to trade in.Rest still holding my btc investment for long and gain profits on them.

The war have not seen much plunge in the prices as we had expected and the prices of other commodities like oil have grown to ATH but will observe for some more days to have better idea about the market.

That is curious isn't it? I mean we have seen so many changes in price for many things and somehow after a war it seems to be staying still. Even after tens of thousands of bitcoin was hoarded by the Russians, the price is still nearly the same. Why do you think that is? Manipulation right now? Or the previous big moves were manipulation?

I still find it interesting, in a war situation which has so much big results between the west and Russia, we should have seen a lot bigger results and a lot higher prices. Both sides from Ukraine and Russia all use crypto right now to fight this war and that should be increasing the price of cryptocurrencies to a whole new level.

I don`t see big changes either right now. It seems to me that prices are kept at about the same level as before the war. On the contrary, more attention is being paid to the cryptosphere, because donations to Ukraine are also received in cryptocurrencies. This is one of the largest financial support flanks. However, on the other hand, we do not have to expect large-scale changes yet. The market is flat, and so far I see no reason for the trend to be changed.

When the invasion of Russian to Ukraine started I don't see big changes in price just like know it ranges from 37k to 42k and I am not sure whether it is because many people fund Ukraine to donate and they sell it and other people buy it in cheaper price? I am not really that good in fundamental analysis but based on my observation about the market I don't see big price changes about this Ukraine and Russia war.

I will say my trading till now is not going well because there's a war between Ukraine and Russia, a lot of unpredict moves happen that makes me in a stuck position right now. But I'm still hoping that the crypto market will regain its glory like a few months ago and I'm just going to be patient until that happens. Right now the best thing to do for me is buy as much as I can because this low price won't happen again in the future.

Since yesterday's war, I've been trying to trade but not every day.
I try to trade using leverage so when the price starts to look down or is experiencing a correction, I place a short order and wait until the price goes down and vice versa.
At least if the result is profit, I immediately close my trade or place an order price so that it will close automatically.
Well, at least I can make a profit even though in one trade maybe not more than $5 but that's enough for me in the current situation.

Didn't trade during this time but got decent profits with p2p trading because we can have better margin due to more demand so people from the p2p trading are ready to pay little more than actual Market value and ready to sell for little lesser than actual Market value.

I haven't opened a trade since the start of this year, I already sold majority of my altcoins bags especially those I suspected it'll dump heavily when the bears begin to kick in. Some of which where memecoin bought for trading purpose last year. War always comes with a negative effect on the market especially when world powers are part of the war. My decision to stay away has been positive for me because from the look of the market, it has continuously been on a decrease and would has cost me especially as I only trade spot.

Future traders would be the traders making some killings in this market due to the privilege of calling a short trade which aren't possible with spot trading.  Noobs reading this shouldn't blindly jump into futures thinking it's just profitable all through, you'll lose so fast that you'll regret ever joining the industry. With this huge volatility ongoing, best to avoid the market entirely if you aren't  a professional trader. Just stack up usdt and reenter the market when the whole war discussion is about getting resolved.

The sentence in red should be the mindset of every trader – up and down, bear and bull, profit and loss, at every point in time. However, the predominant pattern at a time like should be for traders to take more short than long positions. Those who can't do futures should stay on the sidelines and wait for when they think the market has dipped enough to try and long it. That should be after several sells have been triggered and price begins to stall and range. For me, whether the war or not, I had maintained that Bitcoin was going to go bearish this first quarters before the war broke. The war may not be the reason price is dumping. If anything, I think it's the reason it hasn't crashed further. Remember that a lot of people are buying up Bitcoin as a safe Haven. Demand is healthy.

Due to huge gas expenses, I don't have any free money to inverse in trading now.When the war was solved out, the price of gas will reduced.And it give me huge free money to inverse in crypto currency.The most of Russian was not able to live happily.So they selling huge amount of they holding bitcoin for their fiat. When the support for Ukraine Nation was increased huge, then the Russia get out of the war.

I understand your point quite clearly because trading has to be done in peaceful state of mind. If you are not in a cool environment you may get your calculations wrong. With bumbs scare and stray bullet fear, trading can be frustrating. Being in a war zone and trading at same time may not be good, losses can be the outcome so it is better being safe first before looking for money.

Aside from expensive gas right now in my country, everything are still normal especially my trading activities since there’s no huge panic in the market as of the moment and its seems like a normal down trend, so nothing big change here. I think the most affected here are Ukrainians and Russians trader and investors, they are losing their access on their money and even on crypto, some are still not able to trade and get their money. Well, trading might not their priority as of the moment but still, they are losing.

I see no difference as well, the risk are still the same and the volatility is there and since we are talking about trading, its not always about winning since you can lose a lot on your trading process. My trading activities are still the same even if there’s a war, I don’t see the whole market as affected by that, though the price is down but its not all about the war, we are down since last year.

Now huge amount of bitcoin was in selling trade and make the price to reduce further.Because the inflation was occur all over the world.So the people who do trade for now in buying will surely will get good amount of dollars as a return in a future.When the people with good trading knowledge is essential one.Because trading with a knowledge about the coins, will become a gambling.Trade should not became a gambling at any concern.

Yes, without us realizing it sometimes we don't really care about our lack of knowledge about the market,
that's why we always have to improve it and I think one of the important things,
besides improving skills and always learning to analyze are also equally important to support in entering the market

Yes I believe every time is good for profit but it is not for everybody to make profit. When there is bull there is also bear and if you are patient enough to do a proper analysis of the direction of price, surely it will be easy profit. It shows we need more knowledge of the market and not just to jump in all the time. It is risky not to analyse the charts very well before taking a trade order.

As usual, not too good and not too bad. 
Moreover, this kind of unstable market has been started some months ago, before the war happens, additionally with this war, it's getting worse. But, one more, this cannot be used as the reason to be panic or even to be worried so much. Let's it be and we only need to be more focused on what we are going to do, doing more analysis before setting short or long, before buying or selling.
If we think that it is getting worse everyday, it seems that we need to stop for a while, take a rest and drink coffee while enjoying this life. ANd then, our mind becoems fresher and more ready to theenxt tarding activities. That's what I commonly do during this codnition

Maybe because I have been used to trading crypto for 5 years, So it's not surprising to me that the market is falling because of bad news.
Because almost every year there is always a FUD that crashes the market and I have experienced it repeatedly. Indeed the crypto market is
very volatile, so crypto trading has a very high risk, if we are not careful and try to trade without proper preparation, the possibility of
experiencing losses will be very large. So for people who already have preparation before starting trading, they will always be ready for whatever
will happen in the market. So because I'm quite experienced, the market crash due to war is not something that worries me, because if we do
the analysis correctly, we will always be able to generate profits in any condition. So in a war situation like now and the pandemic is not over yet,
indeed crypto prices are much more volatile, but that's not an obstacle for me to be able to make a profit, Maybe the problem is in a situation like now
the profit I make is much smaller, compared to 2021 where a lot of good news emerged.

As long the market is volatile then tendency or chances on making profits would be always there thats why people do always seek off probabilities and chances whenever it do make out some move
and as part of trading analysis then events and news like this would really be inputted up on someones analysis and presume if there would be some significant effect to it.
I couldnt blame out people on having that kind of reaction whenever we do see these kind of situation which is really that rare to happen specially on speaking with a "WAR".
This isnt something that you  could see everyday.

we have seen the up and down movement this past week, going up above 40k and now, going down again. if you have spare money and youve been in this market, basically, you know how to use that trading skill to get the profits during this time of crisis. people want the volatility factor but not all of them can take advantage of it.
if you are not yet confident with your trading skill, just observe first or use small funds, which you can very well afford to lose. there is no right or wrong move here. because it totally depends on your strategy.

Always have to update our strategy from time to time depends on the whole market situation, this is a different scenario now and not a FUD anymore, the war is getting more worst so expect more pump and dump. Trading is never an easy job, traders sacrifices their time and the reward is great for them. The market is down but still, traders can manage to make profit out of that.

Because of the uncertainty events and a possible WW3 the cryptomarket becomes more volatile and this is why its not easy to execute your trades nowadays, it requires a lot of analysis. Though, I’m still sticking with my trading strategy because it is still working but I’m afraid that I might need to change it, once the market becomes more of a pump and dump market, trading is very critical right now.

If it's just a small amount with your buying orders, I wouldn't sell if it moves around $2k but if it's a big amount like you've bought half or 1 bitcoin.

Whenever it moves with that price range, you're already in profit and that's considerably a good sell.

But anyway, as long as you're confident and you're making money from those sell offs. It is the important thing that we're trying to achieve.

There's no much difference if you do ask me since  these movements are really just like  those normal days even the war didnt happen thats why i dont really love on attaching external events on overall market because

it doesnt really give out much effect most of the time.If you are a person who do love on attaching fundamentals then you would definitely able to observe out on what are the differences.
Somewhat it wouldnt be that much sure though that it would be having no effect because there are times which it does thats why you should really be vigilant or observant.

I would say that people who do not mind the war and think that everything is just regular are the people who could make the profit right now. Not because they should not care about the war itself, care about the war as much as you can of course, but the difference is that you should not bring your care, your emotions, or your feelings into crypto trading.

So, if it is just a regular day for you, at least while trading, then you should be doing fine. Obviously the markets are a bit more volatile and unusual right now, so we could always have a bit of a problem but even if we lose, that doesn't change the fact that we should leave our emotions out.

The high volatility of Bitcoin and other altcoins make trading a bit riskier than before so I always think before I click because it needs wise movement most of the time. The basic strategy which is to buy low and sell high is too effective especially when I do day trading during this war crisis. Trading has become more challenging these days.

In technical analysis your mostly basing your prediction on the price/chart movements but this cant be enough now that the volatility is too high.

You need fundamental analysis too especially these days when we have experienced lots of issues relating to economy and financial, like the recent war, it affects the productions of goods, that can affect the economy and war also have an effect in financial due to banks being banned in Russia but there are positive effect too because they are now considering bitcoin and other digital currencies. You can always practice if you are not good at something,  you'll soon get the hang of it and remember that we are only predicting, there is no expert with that.

Yes, the market has had movements  lately, ever since the news on the war between the two countries have been reported. Hence, trading has not been really that good for me as it was before. I am trying to be as careful as I can in making decisions what to do next as much as possible. Just like what you have said, we can never be too careful, especially during this times.

Is not a steady movement with price this time around. Is wiser being careful about this time, is like short bull and short sell. This kind of trend is capable of wiping you out. Scalping on it can be better but again is risky not to be stock inside. I don't think rushing into the market this time around is advisable.

Just another trading day, it doesn't matter if we are in the war, trading is open 24x7 so there is still the opportunity to make money. It might not big profits though during this day trading, there are price swings that you can take advantage. But i guess it depends on how much capital you have to make profits during the war. So for me, it's a so-so performance, not good but not bad either.

Trading continues normally like it used to be here despite the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war. No matter if there’s war or not, the movement of the chart is just simply market manipulation. As you can see, we are all expecting for the market to fully dip, but it’s not. We see Joe Biden signing an executive order on cryptocurrencies and BTC’s price shot up to as much as $45k before plunging down again a bit.

i am now currently relying on alts but only those gainer which for me on the right trend and tends to break out at the higher highs, for example ALPINE which i have gain on it because despite of the war it making hypes in the market., but i prefer using 4 to 5 leverage for scalping only to prevent fake outs..

So far although it goes up recently by 50% and even i am using a normal reward ratio (1:10) still worth it and no regrets. 

And of now waiting for another opportunity to trade but as usual for scalping only to prevent massive losses.

With the war and the economical impact of this we should not only rely on technical analysis but also with the fundamental analysis with the fall of the Ruble and Russia's economy I think their next option is to buy Bitcoin and cryptocurrency but I am not really a good fundamental analysis trader it is just come to my mind that Ukrainian uses cryptocurrency have funds for their country and with the fall of the Russia economy I think their option is the cryptocurrency too.

Bitcoin price doesn't affected by this war, it's just a normal volatility with 5-10% price change per day. See the previous year when Bitcoin price suddenly drop from $20K to $3K that's the real events that affect Bitcoin price.

This month is really good for trader since the price more fluctuative than before, if you're a good trader you'll earn more gains as you could analysis the market will goes. However even I can't analysis where is the lowest and highest, but I got more return in this month.

By looking at the current market conditions, we really need to make decisions quickly,
better take profits little by little take advantage of the moment to sell,
We must be wise in making decisions and of course we must pay attention to the existing conditions

The profit comes, the loss comes. It is always like that. During the war, that happened to me as the market continued up and down. It is normal if you can get profit this day, but you lose some money in the next days. My trading is not too often during this time as I am aware of the market situations but still, I can buy some at a low price and sell them when they increase. I am trying to do fast action and not wait for the next high price, especially if the market moves not good and if that happens, I prefer to leave the market.

For me, what I observed during these days is not that so volatile where you can see a really lot of wicks on candles.
I'm just being careful these days, I am making sure that I always set stop loss and price targets. With these kinds of volatility, I am in profits especially on shorting sometimes the market, waiting for good entries.

Nothing new really, pretty stable so far, today I reap profits, the next day I reap losses, and the cycle continues. DCA cycle still continues on so I'm still profiting even if a bit from the daily movements since I try to time my entries into small dips. The market hasn't really moved that much, well not enough to actually make me change the way I'm trading right now anw.

I still don't really feel the impact of the war on my trading, the market isn't really that heavily affected imo, it's just the usual movement of the market. Well at least, even if it did had one, it wasn't as big as most people expected it to be.

I had been warned about conflict between Russia and Ukraine before, and before that, the market was not so good. In 2021, when there is a lot of growth and a period of great volatility like now. IMO, it is reasonable to limit trading. I am not a professional trader, simply Simply taking advantage of the times when the trends attract money into the market will make trading easier. I am not used to selling, so I only buy with the market when it has not yet exploded.

Well, not really bad as the situation never influence the market badly. And besides, we are seeing now the market moving up and down which is good for day trading. Losses and profit still exist, can't hide it but at least I gain more than the amount I lose.

But honestly, I was a little bit worried about the situation as the war started, however, I manage to keep the temptation of selling low and hold for a while until the price trend stabilize. I just to figure it out that holding seems very important in trading and we can really be losing if we lose our emotions.

Well, as for me I sometimes sell if I see a profit since I set the $40k as a resistance then I probably earned some profit when it hits at $42k and $38k or $39k for buying orders. But when the market is unstable I prefer to hodl more instead of trading like a gambling and wait for the right opportunity to come.

This war doesn't do much about the market and I think it's kinda like a hype yet no one is buying it. Maybe those large institutional investors don't want to buy at this price level and they need some bear in order to buy cheap.

^ I cannot give an actual explanation because I recently stopped trading for almost a month but as I saw in the market it seems there is a potential to gain profit as always because BTC is moving very volatile in the market. Trading is always good when there is a very volatile movement, but it is also very risky when you have a wrong decision it could be losing your fund. I rather hold during this war because when the war started BTC price was massively down and it could be it will increase after a month since every country talked about crypto on how to support Ukraine and could possible Russia will use crypto.

There's not of that much action on me.

I've been stable and good but for holding. I don't want to trade currently as this volatility is not favorable to me. What's easier is to hold and at this time, it's better to hold IMO.

Sometimes I sell if I have to but mostly hodl.

This just proves that trading will always be profitable no matter how unstable the market is. But only for those skilled traders as they always know when to take advantage of every market's condition. As for me, i have gained fair share of profits these days and some sort of losses. But i believed once the market will be more stable, it will easy for us to trade and we can do good market analysis from all its technical indicators. Just always analyze the market first before deciding to trade.

In the past days I was able trade properly and make profit, the market has been pump and dump during this conflict between Russia and Ukraine, I can still see opportunity if the situation becomes worst. Trading are more profitable if the whole market are active, try to analyze first before doing your trades and see your winning trade.

I’m not really trading during the time of the crypto plus the war and economic situations is pretty out of the hand for an individual trader. The best way to survive is through buying in such dips and earning some extra profits when it’s being volatile everyday. So just swinging around but with pretty much caution. Moreover, I’m also trying to identify new coins to invest into as they are laying pretty low in value but had huge ATH in the earlier days. Even if bitcoin bounce back to this unimaginable ATH of last year we can be sure that other altcoins will follow. So it’s more or less little swing and more hodling.

You are right but the confidence comes from the fact that the liquidation price is far, the last liquidation price I had was $89000 for short position, if I take bitcoin at $42000, I still think the price can not grow to that extent before the bears will be favored and price fall in the down direction. What I look more into this time is the liquidation price, aiming a price that bitcoin may not achieve, not only in bull direction but also on the bear direction. That is why I have love to go for 1x leverage.

Good time for the day traders to make money but its merely a gamble so they take the risk and if lucky they can reap good profits. Also trading hasn't affected a lot due to the war, probably increased a bit because more people move towards cryptocurrencies for income and also they want to donate to the people in some way especially to the Ukraine people.

You can use trailing stop or manually adjust your profit if you don't want to exit or take the full profit


Congratulations for your profit


Risky venture. Don't be too confident because no trading strategy is the best


Nice and always advised so that regret and tears don't fill the cup Hahah


Don't always put your mind on one direction even as it looking that way. I think it is better to trade what is seen.

If we talk specifically about trading, it is unlikely that Russia's war against Ukraine will affect it in any way. In this activity, in my opinion, volatility is more important than price. You can do scalping and earn even on small fluctuations, even on a flat or bear market.

In my opinion, the war has a much greater impact on investment, especially in the medium term, because now the situation is very unclear to everyone. Both Ukraine and Russia own a significant share of the global cryptocurrency market. However, now is not the best period for them for new investments, and the old ones can be removed due to the need to monetize profits. There is an outflow of funds from the market, which slows down further growth.

My trades still go up and down following current market conditions, but I mostly hold them and buy when the price drops. Maybe the profit isn't that much compared to day traders because, in my opinion, it's better to buy and hold it for a while and sell when the price goes up like a few hours ago.

Right now, the market is in a downturn, and this is a good time to buy and hold it again. Try not to panic, and you will see hope when the price increases.

My trades are not affected despite the wars between Russia and Ukraine. I keep trading even though the market is not very good. Do some scalping for a little profit. The bitcoin volatility is indeed high and the price is unstable, this can be put to good use.

The market just seems to reach target prices faster when volatility gets high.

For a few minutes yesterday, I had no idea where anything was going because a few of the moved were quite abnormal but aside from that it's just taking less risk in each trade since you can take more trades anyway.

I set $40000 to be the resistance.

It got to $39800 day before yesterday in the night (GMT +1). I waited till the morning because I have opened several positions before to see me losing in the following day. It is good to be patient.

I woke up saw the market increased to $41100. It was first bull candle stick increase that I believe will be followed by the second bull as usual. The second bull market started but not significant. It Bitcoin price got to $42000 when I checked it.

I waited, the price got to $42500, it decrease back to $42200 and I short it. I wanted to take profit at $38000 but I have swing trading strategy, so I did not set take profit at all.

I saw the market at $38900 today and I closed position and I gained.

Waiting for $32000 to $35000 to open long position or 42000 to 45000 to open short position. Even anytime I am losing, I leave the market open until I gain, swing trading is the best.

You asked me a question few days ago, I also did it this way and I gained after losing over $30 before for like two days (but I have swing trading in mind and I did not close the position), but I was confident because the liquidation price was $89000, the price bitcoin have never gotten to before and I am using the amount of money I can afford to lose. I can open long position too, but the coin would have falled to around $35000.

But I am still thinking that their could still be more bear, I trade for bear more this time. It depends on the market, there will be days I will trade for bull, most especially when bitcoin reward is about to halve again.

How has your trading been lately with this Ukraine and Russia war. The market has not been stable since this war have started and yesterday bitcoin volatility was a little high and later dropped, now trading on a low at $39k.

Of course trading is bull and bear, profit and loss 

So what is your experience so far during this war?

I'm like wanting to know ....
