Just stick with it as much as you can. When I choose coins to trade back in the days, I didn't go way below top 10 in CoinMarketCap. Quite limited of my choices, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
I never did try to use stop-loss back in that day, but by just reading around the forum it helped me understand how literally it can help one to manage in bearish times.

Limiting yourself when trading by only choosing the top 10 coins in coinmarketcap is something that must be done. That's the safest way to trade that
I can think of for now, because we know the top 10 coins have a high demand. So it will be very easy for coins that are included in the top 10 to
recover quickly, meaning that our chances of getting profit are also greater, if trading with coins that are included in the top 10. Regarding
the stop-loss feature, it has been discussed a lot in this forum, so you will quickly realize the importance of the stop-loss feature in trading,
if you are diligent in reading and active in this forum.

Thank you for the advice, I also know that trading new altcoins can indeed generate big profits. Because often new altcoins when they enter
the exchanges will be pumped up until the price soars very high. But the risk is too big for me, because if we sell the altcoins too late, we will be
stuck for a long time. Based on my experience, new altcoins whose prices fall, take a very long time to recover.

To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to put a stop loss. This way you will limit the possible loss if the price moves in the opposite direction. It is better to fix the loss immediately than to wait for several years when the price will return to its previous values)

Using the stop-loss feature is very useful to minimize the losses that we will experience, therefore it is highly recommended every time we trade using
the stop-loss feature. I agree it's better for us to suffer losses that are not too big, rather than having to wait a long time for coins to recover.
Even though I've also experienced the benefits of the stop-loss feature, it's still the name of having a loss that makes us upset and stressed.
That's why I prefer trading popular coins, which don't take too long to recover.

Those were part of the challenges in crypto, and 4 years I think is enough for us to become more mature specially on experiences that made us more stronger.
Don't take it as discouragement, but rather a tool for us to grow more desirable and motivational building on our well being towards every trading circumstances. We can't expect all great things to remain constant, there are times we also need to consider failures because it made us definite skills and knowledge.
Having satisfaction with our profit, and avoiding greed could help us move forward in trading together with positivity.

To every newbie newbies out there that are shilling their sites, this is how you do it, you make a very intriguing title that makes the user wanting to know what's behind the title. Regarding OP's question about shady influencers, my answer to that is that every influencer is shady, I mean it's in their title already which is influencer meaning that they can move markets if they have enough follower so yes I do believe that every influencer is shady.

Good thing, I don't invest in defis and if your story is true and you've lost most of your money from investing with those projects and following influencers blindly.

You're brave to get up and stand on your own. The lesson that you're sharing to everyone is important and if there's someone that won't listen to you and is standing on the same situation, he has to learn from you.

I admit a lot of people lose money by following influencers blindly, and I'm lucky not to do that. Because when we decide to trade or invest, don't depend
on other people, because other people's predictions are not necessarily accurate. We must be able to do our own research and analysis, because indeed
we have to rely on our own abilities and knowledge to succeed in the crypto world. Then make the experience of others as a lesson for us, so as not
to make the same mistakes. Regarding DeFi investment, I don't do the same as you, because for me the DeFi project is very risky for investment.
I prefer investing in popular coins, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are proven to be safe and can generate large profits.
Reading the experience of others, made me not follow that type of strategy of following influencers blindly. And just like those influencers, we also know if we're doing research for our investments in cryptocurrencies.

Good thing, I don't invest in defis and if your story is true and you've lost most of your money from investing with those projects and following influencers blindly.

That's the problem, traders don't invest they trade. Any trader that knows what he's doing should have gone out of the market when the signals started showing of a downward movement for defis but many didn't. They got caught up with the whole hype surrounding Defi and didn't want to miss out which turned them into investors. Funny thing is they couldn't hold for the market to recover so they sold in losses inorder to prevent further losses instead of just holding. Those who held later got rewarded but those would couldn't lost heavily.

As a traders what you're after is the profit not minding what the project is working on which is why traders could easily profit form any trend before it crashes but this is a risky way of trading which if you don't have the experience you shouldn't involved yourself. Stick to trading project with fundamentals until you're sure you can do well in the new trends that can be very volatile. Many traders profit from the Defi hypes, especially if you use the strategy of trading newly listed Defi related projects on well known exchanges like Binance or buying before the news git announced.
They cannot control their emotion if they're selling at losses. Those traders still need to gain experience so they can easily control and manage their emotions if they don't like what's happening with the market.

I do not encourage you to change coins for investing, because many also adhere to this strategy. But it has long been noticed that the greatest profit is brought by new altcoins, which after pumping grow in price by hundreds and thousands of percent. Thus, you can subsequently transfer all the profit received from trading altcoins to BTC.

At first, before doing any engagement specially if you were just new into the subject you are pertaining with and you do not have prior knowledge to start with, you must concentrate first on doing background research before taking risky actions just to test out what will happen if you do such thing. Maybe on luck you can gain something but that does not happen most of the time. The main intervention to avoid losses and anticipate things to be done is to be knowledgeable first before doing any actions so that you can be able to think what are you supposed to do to handle things out and not just moving by guts.

This is trading and in tradin there will be some loss as well as profit too, the main thing is that how can you deal it even when you got profit and when you will in loss. You have to analyze the cloin first by yourself and then listen to others, which in fact can give you much benefit.

This is indeed very profitable. Especially now there are many types of tokens this type in Pancakeswap and the price soars high when newly listed in other exchanges.
However, Altcoins this type is also very risky if we don't know which coins will really pump, or we are at the wrong moment when buying and selling them. For professional traders or those who have experienced or at least have experience in coins like this, it's not wrong, the benefits really multiply.
However, for Newbies who only follow it or do not really understand, then this will be very risky, especially they might not know when the right time to buy and take profits, or even Malaha choose Shitcoins.

Certainly, I myself undergone being a newbie but everything in trading went unfortunate for me because of less knowledge and skills. Within 4 years of existence in crypto, long term will be the best I can suggest along the ways of this trading career; and you'll always safe on that matter. Shitcoin indeed, did a regretful situation for me when I failed to decide quick of dumping them but I needed to push back and move on for better.

Not really a fan of paying someone to mentor me, unless there is a fellow friend of mine that is willing to.
Pretty much all the resources out there are already free and it is just one search away most of the time. When I day traded,  I just watched Youtube to learn the ropes and every basic indicators in Binance.
Well, that is the same with me --all my resources in searching strategies and techniques towards trading are on Youtube video which is very accurate and easy to understand. Until such day I realized that investing in altcoins is very risky and sometimes it will become shitcoins and furthermore, altcoins was followed to the bitcoin price movement. So it is a better shot if you spare a large allocation as your investment in bitcoin because it will surely give a better profit when it is pumped up. For now, divert all my altcoin to bitcoin.

What was your first DEFI Coin?
Did you got rug pulled?


I have a similar story. Mostly I fall back on different crypto bloggers as I consider them to be more experienced in this than me. But I think that it comes with time that you start understanding which project is worth attention and which one is not. The first my defi coin was Titan. I invested in Iron finance, but fortunately I managed to sell off before this big crash, so I earned there instead of losing.

Share Name of Influencer That you feel is shady?
You will also be doing the influencer(s) you've picked as credible some good and aiding this community if you shared their names or channels too. Good things need appreciation so as to suppress evil. It's a way of shaming and avoiding the scammers amongst the influencers. For me, I like to listen to Bithoy Crypto on YouTube. I try as much as I can to hodl firm to any token I have that he promotes. His calls have been tremendous.

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation
I've been investing in defi without knowing the risks.
I think we all need to know risks investing in defi.

As a beginner I was following all the Influencers blindly & lost all of my savings.

Had 3 rug pulls & lost more then 80% in other defi projects I Invested into.

what i found is, it's very important to check & verify team.
Also see if they have a live product.

And also Find Influencers who are really credible.

Then I started creating a spread sheet to track Credible Influencers & Their calls.

Bought RSR & Made Really Good Multiples on It.

What I've learned at the End is,

1) Find & Follow Credible Experts.
2) Learn as much as you can & become and expert.


I've been my full journey on coreto.io,
where you can clearly see my credbility (Trust Score).

And my reliability.

P.s - It's also a project I'm Investing recently into as it's pretty similar to tradingview with trust & performance score measured in their tokens.

Share Name of Influencer That you feel is shady?

Until one finds a credible influencer who only promotes viable projects, one would lose a lot of money trying to find out the best projects possible. 
The only other thing and it is the best thing actually is to be the expert. However, thise doesn't come on  a platter of gold. One would need to be determined to make the necessary time out to educate oneself on all there is to becoming an expert in recognising viable defi projects.
That way, you'd make the calls yourself and not wait for some influences.
