So I have bought some coins, now after the bitcoin pump, the coin price goes down. Now I find my self in a negative profit status. Should I sell the coins to buy its dip? Or let bitcoin dump and wait for my coin to back to its current price?

I'm confused.Which coins are you holding ? Bitcoins or Altcoins ? Just so you know,they are not inter-related.One pumps doesn't naturally increase the prices of another.If you're in a negative,keep a minimum stop amount.After that threshold has crossed sell it to avoid further loses.

I'm not a professional trader but I had some experience on trading so that I can advice you what it had done to myself. You should hold your altcoins that you had bought if you were not earned profit to prevent losing money because not all dip is increase so its wasting your money again if you do that.

Dont sell because theres no point on doing such action better to hold off and wait for the price to rise up again so that you wont lose nothing but in exchange you would really have to wait on when it would climb up its price again.Panic selling or cutting loses dont really give any advantage at all.At mean time better to seek out on other coins which on its dip price and possibly cover up some lose.

Selling now doesn't gonna profit you. Keep hold of the bitcoin that you bought when the price is on the increasing side. With bitcoin when a dip is gonna take place with minor fall the price moves forward and in the same manner at certain time interval the price reaches down. So make the selling at the right time during the fluctuations to avoid loss, else don't panic Keep it as a long term investment.

Thank you ,I was about to sell it.. Ok I'll consider your suggestion. Will hold it until the coins will pump again. The question is when is that, and when is the next bitcoin dump.

No. Don't sell your coins because it will just give you losses. Patience is a virtue in terms of trading altcoins because if you lack of patience then there is a possibility that you will be a loser to this game, Do not sell but buy the dip to cover your loss so if the coins pumps again you will be gaining decent profit. If you don't want to end up like waiting for the coin, just put an amount that you can afford to lose and learn to diversify.
