Exiting ETH at $300 thinking that was the peak, after buying in at $120.
To be fair, it was sitting at $300 for aaaaaaaages. Still, I reckon it's got a long way to go before we see ETH's peak...

I think my worst trading decision is EMC2. LOL. I spent about 0.2 BTC to buy EMC2 when its price was only 0.00001 BTC/EMC2 then I sold it for 0.00002 BTC/EMC2. Also I doubled all my money but if I were more patient at the time maybe I would have earned more than that 7 or 8 times cause only 1 month after that EMC2 price rised to more than 0.0001 BTC 
Well, that is if the OP is talking about signals gotten from indicators, Technical analysis and Fundamental analysis.In this case, I am sure the OP is referring to Telegram signals where someone calls the shot and the followers do the usual thing which is to follow blindly. That is a huge problem for someone who wants to trade, because there is no way they cannot end up losing a lot at the end. It is always good to have the knowledge and be able to make decision without being told what to do.
I was just talking about dumb trades that people have made. Following other traders blindly is a sure path to destruction, though!
My worst trade decision was a few months ago. I bought all my investment in BCH and inmediately the market started to decrease. Panic seized me so I decided to sell all.
The next day the market started again to raise.

That's a common theme popping up here. The panic sell is a traders worst enemy (closely followed by the fomo buy). Sadly, ignoring emotion is easier said than done!
Bought some altcoin with BNB when BNB was 8$ and then it went up to 23$ the next day. I didn't really had a loss but if I would have kept BNB it would have been much better.
My worst trading decision ever is when I sell my gvt token at a low price and after a couple of hours the price start to pump up and now the price hit up to 20$ Im so mad that time because I miss the opportunity to earn a huge profit, now I learn the leason holding is the best way you can do if you want to earn good profit. Hahaha
sad to hear that mate,but its part of investment to fail..and holding today is riskier than the past because more of the ico now wasnt concern about the token,instead only concerns for the profit after the token hit the market,they were just selling all the tokens and then leave all behind
That I buy some coins or tokens, thinking that all coins or tokens are very potential or has a future potential that is my worst moves before but as I continue my life in trading I've learned a lot of things especially in my mistakes and also some failures stories of some traders. If you really want to trade make sure you are prepared on the crash don't let your emotions control you.

It happened when a friend of mine said that the coin was a scam and I have sold it. But it turned out, that and have such coin can be pumped.
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 invested on Binance app not knowing they have high demand withdrawal fees. Not biggest money I've ever spent but it's breathtaking and regretful I still remember the despair I've been through all that and stuck at holding on it and waiting for the right moment to withdraw. 
The worst experienced that I have in trading is when I sell my bitcoins in lower price because of continuous decreases happening these past few days. I lost my money but it was a lesson learned in my life.
No one can always win in this kind of market, Personally I worst experienced is to trade with zero knowledge i bought cheap coins and my portfolio becomes more cheaper really learned from this and hopefully able to bounce after a fall.
That is always a good way to learn from your mistakes because without facing any problem it is not possible for us to keep more concentration on to it. Once we failed then it is always good for us to learn new things in the market.

I am a new also in trading because i still learning. Learning from mistake is the best thing to do as new trader.
My biggest mistake is when i trade all in one, so when the price down i could not buy back and recover my loss. I will never do it again.

my worst experience when playing trading is when I sell coins that I have at cheap prices, really I feel depressed because I get a lot of losses. I sell bitcoin loss because I panic and do not know if the price can go back up.

My biggest mistake yet was when I invested in an ico, the price went down and I kept holding my coins, I believed in the project but I was afraid to invest more in it since the price went below the ico levels, now some months after, the coin is back at ico levels, if I had invested back then I could be in profits already instead of barely making any money.Sometimes i feel the same too. When some of my ico coins that i bought suddenly deep. There is always a feeling that i need to buy more because it's too cheap but i'm also afraid that it will not increase in it's price. Now, when i believe in the project i will buy more at low price. We can't win or profit if we are afraid that our money will be gone.
- I never entered altcoin markets like stratis, monero and NEM correctly, although I had the opportunity. Those turned up to be hugely profitable coins.
- I sold some of my good alts too early, and didn't let them grow more profitable.
- At my first days, I listened to everybody everywhere. Many people and sources don't deserve attention (example: trollboxes).

The worst decision about trading I ever did was I bought a coin when the price went down but it turns out the coin prices continue to fall and now I can only hold it and wait for the price back up because I do not want to lose. by selling it cheaply
then dumped project, from that type of trade cut loss needs also to be considered.
