Topic: What's the worst trading decision you've ever made? - page 11. (Read 1402 times)
The worst decision in trading that i have ever made is selling most of the cryptocurrencies that i hold in this kind of scenario. I am talking about the massive correction and dumps of the market that made me shake my hands and just sell my cryptocurrencies but this time, i know that i just need to hold and keep my faith on my cryptocurrency holdings.
We always hear people posting about their awesome trades and/or gains but very rarely hear about the stupid things that people do. With that in mind, let's hear the biggest brainfarts you've had while trading crypto...
When I first stepped into this market I encountered many failures, but the most painful failure of me when trading was that I lost 98% of my property in one night, and also because of lack Puzzled experience that was FOMO. I invest in BCC when its price is at $ 363 but I do not sell gas it is declining value and currently it only costs $ 3. That is my lesson as well as my biggest stumble.I guess many of us have the same experience like you and I remember that I made a mistake like what you did and in that time, I often to be panic when I see the price is down. but after reading some guide on many websites, now I am not panic and only wait or buy the coin again if the price is down. in the past, I feel difficult to control my emotion and sometimes makes a fast decision without thinking if I only get lose or not but now, fortunately, I can manage it with good.

The worst trading decision I ever made was selling all my bitcoin holding back in the year 2016 dump when the price per bitcoin was $570 and I ought to have invest into ETH back then either.
I think my worst trading decision is when i sell my appcoins in such a low price. I sell it at $1.5 and after one day the value of appcoins became $4.2. I did not wait for the price to go up before i sell it.
Ah well, hindsight is always 20/20
The ever worst experience I came across was to carelessly left my wallet unsecured to an untrusted fellow in the field where all my Bitcoin was negligently scammed/swapped off. I almost ended up in a Coma. Another one that I remembered equally was when I sold my dodge coin during its bear trap far below the purchase price with impatience despite my knowledge, until not far later then that the coin price sky rocketted
Selling altcoins early before their value increased a lot.
This comes with experience. Hope so next time you will decide better than this one. Everything comes for your good. Nothing is decided badly for you. We only have to find that goodness hidden in this bad. So if you had such loss in past, now is the time to deliver best of you and keep on doing with updated skills and decisions.
Incorrectly determines the entry point when opened the shorts to the XRP. In the end my margin was closed but after that there was a sharp drop and I did nothing.

Worst trading decision I made was buying Ripple at $2.5, I knew that this was the pumped price but I was not in my right mind and brought Ripple of about $10k and now I am in a pretty heavy loss as the price is even less than a dollar. I am thinking of borrowing some money from my friends and then invest that into Ripple as it's price has sunk so low that now it will only go one way and that is to the moon. But then people say that you shouldn't risk huge amount of money on speculations as you can easily be proven wrong and when this occurs you will be left with nothing but only a lesson for life and huge debts to pay.
we have the worst trading decision so far and whatever it's worst, as long as we can learn from that, I think we don't have to do the same things in the future. I am sure that everybody makes the worst decision because sometimes we don't know something with good and we need to learn more about trading. I think from this experience, we could have a good lesson for our trading style so if something is not good with our trading, we can fix it as fast as we can and we can avoid from getting lost.

the worst thing I ever do in trading is to buy when the price is expensive and sell it when the price is cheap, it makes me very sad and depressed because I lost some of the assets I have.

Actually, this happened to me for a lot of times. Every time that I trade a coin that I think will no longer increase it's value, and then find out that the value increase after I traded it, that is the worst trading decision that I make every time. Which is why I am working on learning from the mistakes that I've made.
The worst trading or investment decision was obvious coming from a Bitcoin forum.
Selling Bitcoin too cheap.
And no I am not talking about selling at $10k or $20k but I've sold it as low as $200 back in the day.
Back then there was so much crazy FUD I assumed it would crash to like $50 or $0

That happened when I decided to sell all of my Bitcoins, and in few months BTC made the highest jump. It was almost a defeat, but I recovered.

actually this is every traders regrets eversince they are starting to trade,PANICKED this behavior brings all traders to failure and sooner will regret what they have decided because of that action.well me my worst decision is when i sold my ripple becaue of panicking when the price drops and i am losing 20% already,and after just a minute got pumped upto 40% i almost throw my laptop that time lol.😜It is fine to make mistakes. To be a failure is acceptable but to never try out and giving up after falling down cannot be forgiven.

In my case my worst trading decision I made is when I got panic when I saw the red lines on the exchange market. It makes me feel worried then all of a sudden I made a decision to sell my coin at a not so low price but I didn't satisfy on its exchange rate. I feel so messed up that time, and also I realize that I should learn the virtue of patience.

I think my worst trading decision is the xrb coin that i sell only at 2000 satoshi and i have 3000 pcs.,now the price of it are already 0.0015 btc or more so it's so hard to accept but i'm only newbie in that time and i earn that in railblocks faucet.,Actually i learn in that that we can earn big here in the future if we are here in crypto like if you already knowledgeable about it.

Its common for people to talk about their success or gains into their trading which you are right that people doesn't really talk too much about failures but I do believe this thing is just really for personal to be kept but to share up common mistake or decision been made is "BUY HIGH SELL LOW" thing which I have done this kind of decision when I'm still new into this trading world.I know this is also a common problem among newbies specially if you have short patience this problem is very common.
