I don`t trade pump&dump altcoins,but I feel the same, every time I sell my bitcoins.
This month,I`ve made the stupid decision to sell most of my bitcoins at 6700 USD,and now the BTC price is going to 10K USD.The only altcoin I have is GRFT coin,but it`s current market price is way lower than it`s ICO price.Anyway,I guess that you just have to learn more about technical analysis ,so you could predict when the pumped coin will reach it`s peak.
I feel sad for you man.. I'm sure that you will resist and make profits with the coin that you are holding!
I studied a lot of technical analys.. I fear that it could not predict such crazy human behaviour XD I trade using it tho
Well to me you didn't make a bad decision of taking your profit while it was still hot there in your face. As you said, profit is profit. Thus, waiting longer could either cause you some problems, you can be busy and forget to monitor it to where you expecting it before market reverses.
exactly! things could be catastrophic lel
first of all now that you saw one pump in action you have to start thinking about what you really saw, what was the signs for instance and how can you predict it next time you saw one so that you can catch it quickly and enjoy the ride. this way you can make a lot of profit in short term and every day!
secondly you have to always learn to be satisfied with the profit that you get. for example if you got 6% be happy that you made a profit instead of regretting why you sold sooner than the ATH. you can never make the max profit ever.
you think that it is possible to meassure a pump size? it's pretty hard to know when it's going to happen, but what about how much time to stay in it?
not really but you can sometimes see when the pump is starting and is the fastest and also see when it is getting closer to the finish line.
True.. yes, I'm happy HAHAh but I dont think it could be predicted only using technical analisys.. It's easier to predict the pump finish line as you said :d
It was the first time that I saw a live pump \o/ it's pretty niice to see this kind of thing happening live ;o
Your lucky to enter a market at a right time but sold in a hurry instead you should have sold partially and hold some coins for more time then you would have made more profit.
If you were in my situation what would have you made and why? what could be observed in cases like that which could help staying longer..
I always buy and sell in small quantities so I would have sold some at your price and some at a higher price or if markets went down then I would have bought some more with that sold money at a lower price.

No one can tell this accurately so you should start booking your profits whenever possible and come out from these pump coins ASAP. If not, you may miss selling your coins at higher prices and may need to hold these for a long time or may end up selling at losses.
Yeah, very lucky.. I was so in panic watching price move like that XD that's why I left so fast which was good also
I have a small balance, so all my orders are full.. but it is also a good way to secure all the balance entering with only a part of it.. thanks for the tip
The most epic p & d I have witnessed was that of Bitcoin Cash a few months ago. I feel sorry for all the people that fomo’ed in to buy the top
It's like watch a war which we are involved xD some people die, in this war :s such is life, war is not for kids!! we have to keep fighting, always!!
Write in a personal message who can teach how to feel the pumps. This is a very important skill. I will share a part of the profits.
In forex, when there are big news, market pumps and dumps in diferent ways.. some times, when there are good news, market goes down.. its insanely crazy but happens.. I think it is because the big institutions want to take all the stoplosses before let the price go higher.. I saw a few people building bots with some kind of hedge channel using martingale.. it's a little hard to explain how it works but in any direction that price goes, the bot will win.. It only loses if price stay in range, which will not happen in big news.. I never saw a sucessfull bot using this kind of technic. It's logical to think that it should work but it does not.. not for ever because martingale is a gamble method and can break account with consecutive losses..Buuuut, with crypto tading, it is diferent because pumps happens anytime independtly of big news.. when they happen, most of time it pumps first, diferently from forex.. would be nice to test the same hedge martingale bot in crypto trading using some kind of price acelerator bot to detect anormal volume in the coin as an entering point.. idk lol, it might not work. But I will surely build a price acelerator bot, not for trade automatically but to get all the information before possible pumps..
