the decission would belong to you because only you could suffer this losses from your trading activities but you had make bad decission with buying the coin when it was pumped and sell immediately because you will fear huge losses but if i to be like you i would continue my trade activities and still curious to recover my losses and better do not trade with emotion because it will ruin your trading results
Don't stop rather develop and learn from your mistakes. It is obvious that you took bad decision in terms of trading. Always remember that before going on a path that you want to try on make sure you have the prior knowledge about it. And in trading there is always a basic principle where you buy low and sell when it's high and that is the opposite of you are doing. But as I said don't stop rather learn and educate yourself properly for you to earn. 
Topic: Loss almost 40%, should stop trading or not ? - page 28. (Read 32531 times)
Trading with btc - eth, I buy too high ( 0,082 ) and today I sell all on 0,077. Before that trade btc - ripple ( xrp ), make mistake buy 0,0002150 so today I sell with price 0,0001200. I decide to sell all because my patience is finish. I have loss almost 40% from my money, my question is simple ................. stop or continue?
You have not done any research before investing.You have just invested relying fully on your fortune.You should have tried to find the under valued and then should have invested in it.You have just sold your coins in panic.Here after,don't do such mistakes.You have got a valuable lesson in trading.Just continue to do trading but with a small amount.Being patient and following the price chart are the two most important things when trading in my opinion. If you can't do those 2 things, then it's hard to make profits. You can't just jump in and buy impulsively. You have to watch the fluctuations and buy on a price drop or correction. That's the best way to get your coin at a good price.
After you make a purchase, you have to determine the profit you need to make and place an order for that sell price. You could even not put in a sell order but wait for a pump and sell at that point. Either way, you have to wait for a decent gain and not sell too quickly.
It's hard to be patient but that gives you the best chance to make a profit. Even then you can time it wrong because sometimes there are wild fluctuations that no one can predict.
If you really do day trading you need to have a system, also it is really bad to be day trading like this in such a volatile and bear state, unless you plan to margin trade which I highly suggest you not to.
If you are not patient then stop.
To become a good trader you will loose a lot of more money but you will learn from your mistakes.

Stop trading and hold on to your portfolio for another 3 to 6 months. Don't book losses now or your chances of making profit will be gone at the very moment you click on that "SELL" button. There is panic all over. Just forget about Cryptos and come back after 3 to 5 months.

Dont stop, it may be a big loss for you but its a part of learning process and i would say that you did buy on the peak prices of both coins which made you lose up money thats is why we should really be careful on entering markets specially when we see a hype or certain price increase usually pullback or corrections do really happen later on thats why we should really be wise on executing orders.
Just to add to this - if you learn from your mistakes (I made some big ones), this year I'm 115% up so no don't give up.
Trade 50% of your remaining equity and try and double it, take out your initial and if you get it right you'll be good

As i see, there's no way you could earn big enough from trading.
You're very wrong. daytrading is very very profitable if you know what you're doing. I know someone personally who does this as his daily job. Yes, he doesn't make profit everyday, but when he does make a profit, it's surely big.I suggest spend only your 40%-30% of your portfolio. Altcoins are aIl sleeping. I feel frustrated right now because i loss big amount. But it's okay tho. That's part of the game.
Once again, wrong. Altcoins are sleeping? Have you seen the recent prices? They've went up and down sharply multiple times! I'm a very newbie trader but I've made a bit of money from trading these altcoins just buy timing it right.
Gotta learn to short 50/50 or something and hold until the price bounces. It's too volatile of a market to sell quick imo.
Because trade has only two sides: profit and loss. Called a loss, if we have lost everything. Be patient, learn errors, thorough and dont rush in doing sell or buy orders may help us in achieving profits in trading.
its sadly for us which still keeping altcoin, as far as we know, altcoin have down too far following bitcoin price. i am loss to but i am not cut loss my altcoin and i still keeping it. i am sure that this is just temporary situation because of many news about segwit of bitcoin and many trader is panic. i think they are confuse to still hold btc and altcoin or to sell their btc and altcoin. but all decision is up to you and only us that will know what is the best for us.
No matter how many lose you will have you just need a 1 win to success in trading that is experience because in trading the more you lose the more you will like to quit but if you will quit you will lose again so just keep investing in altcoin and that is the way to win here in crypto world and trading. its sadly for us which still keeping altcoin, as far as we know, altcoin have down too far following bitcoin price. i am loss to but i am not cut loss my altcoin and i still keeping it. i am sure that this is just temporary situation because of many news about segwit of bitcoin and many trader is panic. i think they are confuse to still hold btc and altcoin or to sell their btc and altcoin. but all decision is up to you and only us that will know what is the best for us.
When the price of bitcoin is down a bit it will make a big effect to the price of altcoins, that is the trend but when the price of bitcoin is healthy again then we will see a good price in altcoins. I think we just have to be patient with it, it will rise again.

Life is a set of experiences, one good and the other bad but no one never know which is the most beneficial for you,In my opinion you do not need to ask this question because you do not need only yours, however, if you have lost the hope of winning and the motivation to trade stops anyway, otherwise rebelote the game !!
If you can't control your emotion then you should stop. Because treading is not emotional game. this is patience game. Treading first rule is Buy low and sell high but you did wrong. You have to wait for next pumping. Hold if you are in lose. If you are in profit then sell.
I even lose 100% of my capital in trading but that does not make me stop, instead I work hard to improve my mistakes and I
am hoping that slowly I will be able to get back my loses and be on the profitable side one day. Well, that was a long time ago because
now, I am already enjoying my profit in trading, if you quit you will never win, remember that.
Good for you that you managed to gain profits after losing big time, but what exactly have you learned? am hoping that slowly I will be able to get back my loses and be on the profitable side one day. Well, that was a long time ago because
now, I am already enjoying my profit in trading, if you quit you will never win, remember that.
In most cases people just blindly trade in the hope that they will be on the positive side after a while. Some times they lose hard, and some times they win hard ~ what makes you think you're not one of them?
Trading only makes sense if you know how to properly analyze the market, and read out as much information as possible that brings you as close as possible to a profitable trade. It ain't something easy.
I will tell you one thing that worked for me. Invest. I mean invest for 2 years at least. Don't touch your investments at least for 2 years and you will do fine. Don't trade simply looking at prices that are pumped up. Buy only when the price is red and is consolidating. That is when you make money. I bet you lost money because you bought when it was high.
Of course holding long term investments is better than maybe day trading. But some don't have the patience to really hold for long term because of other reasons. But I have to agree that holding long term will really put you in an advantage because the chance of getting profit is huge specially in bitcoin market. So hold then go back after 2 years to reap your rewards.
90% of coins i lost where through stop losses. my first rule is I never sell bitcoins. I wait for it to fall significantly and then go bullish. If you go bearish with BTC, whenever it moves up to a new support, you loss money and since we all know that BTC's value would in the long run always go up, why then go against the market. In my own opinion:
1. Always go bullish. Patiently wait for the price to drop and then BUY unless you're scalping.
2. Don't jump out of trades even if you are dip down unless it's obvious you bought into a bubble.
3. You could place "take profit" margins but forget stop losses, you'll loss money.
4. Get familiar with indicators. They help. Alot.
