Bitcoin- in bullish time
There is nothing that can ever be guaranteed in crypto trading. If you look at trends then the safest strategy would be to buy bitcoin or some top altcoins and wait for the price to go up. Buying when the price of a coin is at an all time high is not the wises move because we could have a market crash and you will have to wait a few years to make a profit. It's better to do dollar cost averaging than buying all at once and hoping that the price remains bullish.
Trading has a huge difference when we are just holding. However, both of them are at risk but trading is riskier. That is why this is not for everyone because not all of us can afford to do it. And aside from that, trading is not just all about buying now and sell later because technically it requires a deep understanding of the market situation more than that of what we know about holding.

Large participant? do you mean to look out for those traders that have been trading big? it's hard to know and determine if that's the strategy you're saying.
Orders on exchanges are changing from time to time and even if there will huge volumes that you'll see on the buying orders side, you'll never know if that guy is just playing around not unless you've got a lot of time to check it and wait until it fills. But, correct me if I'm wrong with my understanding on what you've explained.

no, I do not mean large orders in the order book. although they can be used for entry accuracy. I mean tools like volume profile and statistics
Thanks, I thought of your description of participant in that way.

There are many experts in this forum are always suggesting about buying at dips; and in my opinion also that must be the very safest strategy when we are looking for less risk and maximum profits.
Buying the dip is the strategy that we're always saying but not all of the people that have read it follow. And sometimes we're blamed for that because when someone buys the dip, it keeps dipping.
But for those who have followed it, knows the market and very well understands it. Just like in Doge, I thought that $0.05 was already the peak of it and it will go into a dip first before moving up but no way, it's already $0.18 now.

Well safe strategy is a sound of a name. But the real word is expertism or experience. Because of his expertism user can generate profit by easily because he know when we should do something? How we should? Because he understand the candle and this is his expertism which he gain from his experienced. Though he can generate profit easily and the other users call it safe strategy because other user saw that he makes profit very easy then users follow his strategy and call this safe strategy. But i don't think there is truely have. Its my opinion others could be different.

I would call a safe strategy buying some bitcoin, every time its price makes a thousand usd drop. It is obvious that the price will return to where it was, it is just a matter of time. (Or whales made us used to it).
Why exactly 1000? Because Bitcoin is very volatile and its price goes up and down for hundred bucks every 15min. And drop in price for 1000 and future recovery will make every any investment in Bitcoin be tangible.

I am sure already many people are following that safe strategy and enjoying big profits. I believe into this community and their suggestions and due to this reason I am profitable today with my initial capital which was small when I was starting here.

the only way to reduce risks in trading is to sync with a large participant. enter very close to his positions so that volatility does not take your stops

Hi there!

I’m quite new into trading of any sort. I started by shorting BTC when price was trending down. I made some profits and then I lost it all... several times.

Besides potential gains, I love all the knowledge on markets and economics I’m getting by experimenting.

I’m not looking to be a full time trader. I just want to do one or two trades per week focusing on modest gains but low risk.

For example: I though that trading on the first minutes of an IEO was a safe option. But after reviewing how previous Launchpad projects went on the firsts minutes I does not looks like a low risk strategy at all.

So my question is: Is there such thing like low risks strategies? If yes, what could be an example of that?

Thank you!

Risk only 1% of your capital! That's the lowest and safest strategy you can apply especially on trading in markets such as Margin and Futures. You can use Cross mode with your 1% and even make the leverage to the highest point possible. BUT, always set your own Take Profit price as well as a certain Stop Loss for a price that you can afford to lose. If you would spot trade or swing trade, you can use up to 50% of your capital yet set stop losses near your entry point.

While you were explaining, you made mention of new ieo project, this new listed project often got spike in the first place after listing, if you haven't gone professional in trading you can loose all your money within some weeks, a simple corrections should happen on the trades before making an entry, avoiding entry at the time of listing is a low risk strategy

Furthermore, trading ones or two is not certain that your trades would be low risk one, the simple strategy that would works better is holding for a long term, that's the lowest risk strategy you can ever made at this period. Try it and have good trading experience.

From the little experience am having with trading I don't think there is anything like safe trading when it comes to trading definitely you have to lose money but the amount you have to be losing must be minimal that's why you have to learn about risk management you have to make your lose you have to look for a way to reduce your risk but I don't think there is anything like safe trading. And again if you are trading you have to learn and know how to hold a coin that's the only way which you can reduce your lose and make alort of money but if you can't hold a coin definitely you will always lose money in Cryptocurrency. For example you can buy and hold bitcoin currently because the price is still very low so you can buy and hold and you will never regret.

Of course, there are strategies that are low risk but with low returns as well. Suppose
  • Buy gradually in each support area to prevent big losses when a correction occurs.

Scalping on support area is the best strategy for people who wants to have a low risk strategy. You can still limit the risk by just buying on strong support only but it will surely takes a long time hit strong support but the gain and risk is always worth the wait.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
So my question is: Is there such thing like low risks strategies? If yes, what could be an example of that?
Of course, there are strategies that are low risk but with low returns as well. Suppose
  • Spanning trades to several altcoins that have signs of increase.
  • Buy gradually in each support area to prevent big losses when a correction occurs.
  • Or change the trading term from scalping or daily to a longer term trade with a more predictable profit target.

theres no safe strategy but there is low risk strategy .
what you did of trading twice per week is an example of low risk strategy .
 chosing an ieo is supposed to be low risk but have you tried other ieo's and your getting the same negative result ? or dont trade in the first minutes but observed it first to have a better understanding if how the ieo will go ,
 when you do low risk you can expect that the profits you can get is also small and not modest

Yes, there is but not totally safe. Minimizing your amount on stake. In an event of loss, those losses can't hurt your wallet. But on the other hand, in an event of winning, except that it's slow progress even the coin you choose is mooning.

But the question, is that a good strategy? For me, yes if you are in the testing phase. Then soon challenge yourself to manage well a decent amount in trading.

After that loss, stress, exhaustion, etc you will eventually know what's the best strategy to do.

There are no safe or  almost risk-free/low-risk trading strategies. You won't find such strategies as they don't exist. Trading comes with a substantial amount of risks. So if you want to get better at trading, you should accept that these could get bigger and no longer safe and that you won't always get those modest gains with no losses. These things are there too. If there are any foolproof low-risk strategies which everyone can adopt, I don't think no one would lose in trading as they will keep winning and making gains but that's not how it works at least not in the market that is constantly evolving.

Trading shitcoins, especially new coins hold high risk of losing its value in a day or two after it was launched so it is not the perfect coin for you to because you want to do short term trading. My opinion will be choose bitcoin and other top coins with a stable coin pair so that you can buy low and sell high, you can even opt for price alerts from the coin tracking sites so it will be easier for you to execute trades at perfect time.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
You seem to have got a first hand experience in IEO and what a scam it is. I hope you spread the word and make others aware as well about the initial coin offering scams that changed names a lot of time. Being a long time user, one can observe the changes with time. Wink

So them offerings are scams, so moving on, Margin trading should not be attempted by newbies - something that I preach anytime one asks me about trading.  How to short and long is something for the ones experienced in it. Newbies will get totally washed or liquidated by it. Dont use the excuse that market is stagnant for two days so I move to margin - No, you are making a mistake there.

Overall safe method if you ask me, long term holding after buying at low. You see the currency price of bitcoin above 62k USD? Think about it, if you bought at 10k USD which was possible towards the end of last year. You would be already at 6x profits. You could sell and book a profit now and it was a safe one.

Think if you would have bought bitcoin back in 2015 when bitcoin was 700$ - today you are at 100x gains.

So dont waste money on ICO/IEO/STO/ITO/Initital Blah blah bullshit. Go for spot trading because margin should only be attempted by those who know about it.

Yes there is. Trade only when there is a bull market and try trading by accumulating more coins instead of trading get more USD. Its less risky depending on the kind of trend. When there is a bear market, I guess this is where you experiment with your futures trading skills by just betting that the price will take a downturn.
Some Bitcoiners are just holding. While its not really trading, its still profitable in the long run.
