Topic: When market is down A lot of traders become emotional:) What about you? (Read 516 times)

Your decision but i would ask you this. How come traditional fiat currencies being stable? Stability means no movements and if you do engage yourself into forex you would able to make profits even on those small movements might not be on big spreads but a considerable thing to make money but comparing on potential profits with crypto we can see the difference. It might not be backed but the money making opportunity is here if you would decide to risk up.

so , do you think that forex can easily be predicted ? if it is then why are you still here lurking around on the forum ? if trading very easy in forex  , then all people should be freakin rich and will not depend on cryptos anymore but why they are still here ? meaning to say that you are wrong. fores is not easy and it cannot easily be predicted because there are also whales on them . whales are every where in any business because they are the ones that causes the price to fluctuate .


wrong again .  if cryptos are already regulated , its price will also become more stable . just like  what happend on fiats .

This is right which the market would really only have 2 cycles which is going up or down and as we do experience those things along the way then we can really definitely gain the idea on what would be the possible next move we would do unlike on first time encounter where we do most likely commit mistake and say up those common noob words or comments about the market and talking about being emotional then I would say its always been part.

All you have to do is sit through one complete cycle of boom and bust and then it'll be a piece of cake.

You'll see the same threads, the same moans, the same euphoria, the same wordings, the same everything as last time. Once you realise a cycle is what it is and there'll be many more in future then you can be vastly more objective about the whole thing.

Having natural, innate feelings and reactions is not really a problem. It's the decisions you make, and what influences them.panuc decisions mostly come out badly. But one can make a good decision in a panic state.

It is important to control your emotions - after all, when the market falls and you have a large deposit on your balance sheet, you are not very good. If you study the market carefully, we really see a smooth swing up and down, almost never the price is standing still. If you have a balance left down - maybe your coin will rise tomorrow and give you a good profit. Wink I invest a little in coins and still participate in ico (project xxx) - it's also possible a good profit  

To me, I feel happy because it’s the best time to bag more coins for the mooning days. I advise you to do so as well,

Blockchain is not going anywhere - great words, I think those who often panic, need to write this words. If you do not chase the fleeting benefits, and invest in reliable projects, I think that this strategy will pay off.

Emotions are an integral part of every trader, only one succumb to these emotions and do unthinkable and irrational actions, in consequence of which they lose money. And more experienced traders retain external calm. although in my head I love at least a little but a panic. As for the control of the crypto currency market, if it is controlled, the meaning in large earnings on the crypto currency will be lost and the cryptorines will turn into ordinary forex. So it's better to be a bit nervous, but to be able to break a big jackpot. Personally, I believe in the crypto currency and I am completely sure that the future is behind it. So to drop the panic and wait for the market to turn, investing in a cascade with a drop in prices even lower.

Being emotional when market is down is a common things happened when crypto investors and traders are not really usually in panic situation. Because they can't determine whether the market will recover up easily on slowly so all of them are conscious with their holdings especially when it comes to bitcoin. However a smart investors and traders with deeper understanding and truly believe in cryptocurrency ability to fully recover again all of us are still holding their wealth in virtual world of currency.

when the market fell and many people panicked so they sold their coins cheaply I think this is an advantage I just started investing and holding it until the market recovered because it would be easier to get a lead

The down trend is that no one expected, all traders, investors, mining, bounties, etc. However, for new investors, that is the perfect opportunity for them to take advantage and increase the success rate when holding. I am also a long-term investor. I hope I have enough patience and can control my psychology at the moment.

If you did not sell, then now you just have to wait for the price to rise again. I'm calm and I'm waiting for the market to turn.

When you see the down trend actually you need to invest your fund and take your fiat cash into crypto currencies mate. If you do that with in some months you can aqcuire the decent growth in the profit wise mate. So check the good potential cryptos and invest on it today.

Traders making money completely on the trading means they will be worry about the investment what they done on various coins. If in case any emergency they cannot able to manage it well.

I used to worry about that. But due to recent drawdowns of the market natreserves your nerves and calmly react now))))

I'm also emotional when I see the coins I like in red. It's about the connection between you and the coin that you were holding for a long time.

I agree with most of what you posted except with one part, you said that dips are caused mostly by speculation and manipulation and that is right most of the time, but also many of the high points of the market are caused by the same factors, after all the price increase at the end of the year was caused by a fundamental change in bitcoin, the activation of segwit, but the fact that we almost reached 20k should have been a clear sign the market was being manipulated and the crash that followed confirmed that.

There's no need for experienced traders to panic. They know how to handle their emotion and how to take advantage of the market when it's down and keeps on dipping.

The number one enemy of a trader is his emotions, when he's uncomfortable with his skills and decisions he will ending up become emotional and will do panic selling.

When I first encountered trading, I was also very worried about every open deal, especially when the price went down. Now the excitement is small, but there is no panic.

In my cue ball it's a hundred percent long. I understand if I flooded 100k ... You can be fidgety, but I'm amazed at people who bought at 2k and scream that they lose money with a BTK crash 😁

Honestly, I'm starting to think that it's better to trade on Forex. Because in this market it is too difficult to make any forecasts, I think that until the cryptocurrency market is regulated, there would not be any stability.

Actually sensation hither is not desire seeing diddly gonna in that appreciation whether you alarmed or anxiety to close adorning of even you deservingness or fail to keep hither that's trading so blameless disperse it already

I was too emotionally involved because the market is going down very long and very big almost half the price down on btc and the other one but we take the positives just the condition of this market is good for us make the initial investment by buying some mbtc to be invested because the price really cheap now.

Perhaps you mean ordinary people who bought some kind of crypto currency and are now in a panic?
Traders who have at least some experience, most likely did not even think of panicking. There's a cold mind-this is the main weapon of the trader.As a trader you must know how to control emotions to preven any losses.

I think experienced traders will not panic or their emotions go up, things like this are common for them, so they will be patient and continue to hope the market is getting green again.

Thats a natural thing for traders become emotional when market goes against with our prediction. But still calm down and analyze again about the flow market in the future.

the crypto market is very new and the investors here are usually newbies which have not too much experience in trading including me. So being emotional is quite normal in my opinion but if its continues like this everytime the market is down and never reduces than it is a problem.

I don't want to become an emotional,even the market down. From the very beginning of my trading,i have a enough capital that i can afford to lose all of it,no matter what happen. I know that no one can predict the movements in crypto market,that's why,i am willing to lose my capital anytime,but i know also that i can be rewarded when the market recovered,rise up to the higher again.

it happens only to a few people, I do not, when the market goes down I will be patient to wait and hope to ride again, there is no profit if you. want emotions, a situation will not change even if you are emotional, back can even melapau i previous results, keep the spirit and must be clever patient.

I remain calm and do not panic. I do not take radical decisions and I am sure that the price will reach a new peak by the end of the year. So I just watch, sometimes it's hard of course given - but I try and keep myself in hand.

Panic wont really give any good thing into a certain investor when he do easily shaken up on price dump of bitcoin or any other coins on this market specially when he do saw his portfolio drops when he just recently bought a coin. We cant blame them because those things are inevitable where doubts and hesitations would come out being emotional is normal because we are talking money on here but as being a trader you should really be tough on these times.

I fully support you. This is the market, and prices are moving up then down every day. If your coin has fallen, and this is really a worthwhile project. Do not panic. You need to wait until she grows up. And at this time it is worth to study the market.

I doubt that experienced traders get nervous when the rate goes down! They know how to analyze the market situation, so do not panic! There are almost experienced traders who are nervous when the price falls, in the event that they have invested their last money! And beginners and inexperienced traders panic at the slightest drop in the course thereby sell everything they have!

If somebody is not patient and is scared that much that every single down could make him to just sell his coins that mean he is not ready to just join our market, those two things are most important when investing or trading.

Day traders can make money on price drops. Long time holders do not care about single price drops, and sometimes even do not notice them. This situation is stressful for new speculators, so remember that patience rewards, and weak hands always lose. 

Well, for some maybe yes but for me it's like a ussual day. I don't put really much attention to it since i know that the market still has a chance recover and even get better in few days/months to come. If you still have someoney left in your pocket, put it as an investments, and yeild your profits on green days.

I know for sure, that the long time hold strategies always work. That means if you avoid panic sell and do not fix losses you can always gain funds, that is why I have learned how to cope with emotions.

Emotion is unavoidable. This is why we are different. This is why we all make mistakes. I know the traders now look for bots and artificial intelligence as solutions to remove emotions, but in the end we always take over the charts and the bots because we have fear, we have hope.

As much as possible learn the basic lessons. Set always for yourself target at profit AND for losses,,, and as much as possible allow these to take place. Set your trades and let them happen, regardless of how you feel.

I hold for most coins so no trades. Just sit and wait.

I think your pointing to a beginners in trading as those true traders knows the market situation and they had preferred some backup plans if the market get worst to cut losses. Anyway, I don't mind on the daily prices as for me it's too stressful and I'm a long term holder of some altcoins.

i am little bit emotional but i dont let my emotion ruin my investment. i always convince myself that market will soon rebounce. this is a normal trend of cryptocurrency... sometimes it ups! and downs. no worry about this situation. at the long run we all see our coin rise to the top and gives us huge profit. all we have to do is wait.

Bitcoin / entire crypto market  is high risk high return investment , so when you enter in new currency world then invest reasonable amount and beware of emotions to be victim of FOMO . bcoz mostly new people buy at peak price bcoz of FOMO and later they sell at dip bcoz of panic . it is completely opposite strategy for crypto currency market .

Well those people are not mentally prepared on the challenge of getting losses, if you enter this market or even shares/forex you should also think that profit will not come around all the time.

You really gave a basic and realistic advice to a trader that is trying to overcome all his fears and become better and smarter and winner in the end of this game.
And that is most precious in your thoughts. And that is all what the trader needs.
This tips coming from a man who learned on his mistakes throw his crypto journey, and who is unselfishly sharing invaluable secrets of a trader.

So i would repet and add, dont let your current emotion to overcome your rational behavoir. You are bigger than that.
Remain focused and sharp, read, learn, and invest in innovation. In that way, you will make yourself stronger position every day.
Build stronghold of the cryptoknowledge and there will be no dips ever, that can move you from your position!

I think if someone is a good trader if the market is down diya not panic. diya will find the cause of the falling price and how the solution if it will go down maybe a trader will sell some tokens and hold a bit of his tokens in order not to lose big. I think if a trader who panics and sell all the tokens diya merchants who just joined and do not know how the market movement.

A good trader is the one who can earn both on the growth of the market and on its fall. Trading is not only buying at low prices and waiting for a high price. Trading is hard work.

when I started trading on the stock exchange, very much worried and worried about every market fluctuation, woke up at night went to the stock exchange.... Now, despite the big failures I am calm, I keep the coins in dolgosrok....

When market is down, act normal and focus on the goal you set I know its hard to see your portfolio in bloody red but  panicking will not help you either. This time try to learn from the current trend as we can see cryptomarket are slowly getting some rhythm to go up, this happen so many times in past learn from it.

When I was still new to this, I did end up feeling worried and emotional but my friend who has far better experience with cryptocurrency
told me and persuaded me that it's quite normal and one should learn to adapt and make use of every opportunity. We can expect serious
traders to feel that way I guess, since it's not a lucrative spot when dips are in action. But from another point of view, I tend to see a very
good yet small opportunity when the market is down. Prices are very low and that tends to cause all the stress with people, yet again it's
the only time you can buy coins cheap. Investors are quite fond of this, so when a red day is in action, buy coins and hold. I try not to get
emotional but enthusiastic to battle all that negativity taking place.

trading is a buying and selling activity or a transaction where the transaction activity is not like transaction activity as usual, transaction activity on trading he done with passive capital, unused capital, from unused capital bought coin or ico, hope there is price increase from previous capital, of the capital is silent and not increased. so strange when there is a very emotional trading when facing the market like today, I think this situation is normal and normal in the world of trading, do not panic quiet stay hold hopefully useful

I prefer to educate myself about blockchain and decentralization ... feel emotionally wasting my energy. because i  already understands that market prices sometimes rise and sometimes down.

Emotions are flowing when we see all our altcoins decline. It is ok to be emotional. The bad thing to do in this down market is panicking too much.

Most of the traders get emotional when market goes down because of the psychological and mental pressure they have on their minds and do what we are seeing "panic selling".They need to releive this and just stay calm and away from any negativity hodling for long term which will give you profits in future.But don't worry experience will teach you everything of this risky business.

I am more holder than trader but i am not getting emotional cause i know that crypto market is based on ups and downs and in next week price could be totally diffrent that is why i always believe in possitive changes.

that's what we have to do, before trading we have to prepare ourselves to experience a price drop in the market as now, we should never fear losing or losing what we are experiencing now, for example we are calm and will not panic of course we will not suffer losses eg we do not sell bitcoin or altcoin when the price goes down as it is today.

thank you .. your article is very helpful for traders certainly. when they are confused and a little afraid of the extinction of a blockchain.dengan decreased their assets ...
at least can restore the spirit that ever existed first

all humans must have an emotional nature, so here we must prepare ourselves when there is a decline that occurs in the market. here we should be able to take advantage of an opportunity, if the market down is the right time to berivenstasi because this is a great opportunity to get a profit.

Very well said! I definitely agree with you on these. I think this is a natural process for a new trader until they become matured and fully understand the market. As for me, I experienced those FUDs and now I am becoming a numb trader as the years goes by. Before, even when I go to bed I still checked my Blockfolio every now and then. But now, I've learned to disregard anymore the monitoring Apps and I seldome check it now unlike before.
What I'm doing now is Im doing Bounties so as to collect more coins even during these bearish market. I am also taking some effort to educate myself by watching YouTube videos about trading and crypto-currencies. I am learning also not to buy altcoins during the HYPE but I wait for the dip to be able to have some 'discounts' so as to get a right entry for my coins. I now understand fully that everything that goes up would definitely goes down and vice-versa so I wait patiently for the right timing to buy. I am also doing stakings and master nodes for some coins to be able to collect more.

Before getting involved in bitcoin I have prepared psychology. I understand the successes and risks of this area. So when the bitcoin price drops I'm not afraid. I know it is inevitable. I will keep my bitcoin and wait for the price to rise in the future.

for me if the market is down there is no problem for me because the time I know the world of crypto at that price coin is still low price. yes maybe now the price of coin down very drastically but someday will definitely return to the original price. and I did not panic with the coin down at the moment. for me no matter what coin price there is no problem at all.

I feel annoyed when the market falls, I'm not afraid just annoyed. I am mentally prepared and continue to mop up the hope that the next time my investment will succeed.

That is because the traders still a beginners, an experience traders know when to cutloss and when to save , a lot of people that bought BTC in peak, didn't had a clue about the market situation, so when it falls they panic and keep on hoping the market will back to bullish, but the market doesn't work that way, the pump in December was too high and when it corrected it will cause a huge downfall, and this time the bear market is quite long

it is common and many find it like that, but if we are emotional and can't control ourselves it is feared to sell the assets we have so the act is not very good
you should stay patient and wait because the market situation will improve over time

for me bro if i see the market going down, i still hold my posture stay calm and have a positive thingking that cryptocurrency will rise again sooner, i do still believe that bitcoin will kick of high again and thats why i’m still here doing bounties, campaign and investing..  

Personally, I do not consider myself a trader. I'm a hamster. Only a couple of percent of people who trade on the exchange are successful. But many are too proud to recognize the fact that they are bad traders.

Perhaps you mean traders are newcomers, for professional traders there is no problem with the price drop, they always have the assessment strategy and profit from their assets daily, traders who are already professionals clearly understand when appropriate to sell or buy assets. In contrast to the trader who only see from price reductions, there is an opportunity in the increase or decrease in the price of

I kept him to the market really stable, because I am sure market will not always decreased, see now market start stable

all traders have the same questions, 1 - whats going on 2 - when will be good)) also they have an answers like 1 - winter correction 2 - bad news+China new year
But what is true??

Real traders do not put their emotions in the game. It is in fact should always be technical and any kind of emotion will throw your game. Only those wanna be traders panic every time the market is bear. Whether the market is down or up, a real trader will find opportunities to make money.

I’m not much affected since my holdings is not that high but to those who loss big during market dump for me its normal to feel like that but don’t make a decision base on your emotion. As a trader you must know how to control emotions to preven any losses.

I was emotional, shocked and did wrong steps which was fatal for me. But it was a great experience  , and now i understand and accept some loses , and i can calmly accept -30-50% of my deposit 

Yes ofcourse it is normal because we had feelings. But through things we've experienced for the time like this we've became immune on the situation and those things like when market is down became normal to us. That's why we chill and continue to trade, you will learn this things also just take your time and don't rush it.

all the market will surely go up and down, when it goes down we have to buy when it rises when we sell. when we do buy and sell we should calm down do not panic.

your in crypto world that have volatile so it's risky

Actually emotion here is not need because nothing gonna in that like if you scared or fear to do investing of course you can earn or lose here that's trading so just accept it already

I see different post and different users cry because they lose but they lose because they risk already big here without information and if they have i think they do it already without monitoring it so i say before you do move here like in investing here just study it first then do the actual because you already know

I think they lose in new coins and tokens too so that's bad move for me because the developer don't have enough experience yet not like the developer of btc and eth so of course the price or value still growing so that's good for investing

When I'm still a newbie then I can consider myself as an emotional trader but now for how many years of experience then I'm completely "Numb" when it comes to price movements or volatility of this cryptocurrency market.For those new people who do just recently jumped in with this trend then they would definitely experience such feeling and emotion when they do saw red numbers to their investment but sooner or later they would even realized onto those mistakes that they have committed along the way.

We already know that emotions and trading are related. When the coin market falls, the trader's emotions increase intensity. Especially when in a position of loss. Usually a loser trader wants revenge. So instead take a more aggressive position that can actually harm. Keep your head cool.

Not me! I prepared myself for things like this. Being emotional will not take us far in this kind of venture. Our brain and our heart should have been conditioned before jumping in this journey. This is the common mistake of many traders today. They join to invest with the purpose of earning huge (which is common) in their minds. But they fail to educate themselves that there are a lot of risks involved in this. And so, when the market crashes, they tend to cry and whine around the boards because they sold at a lost. Quite dramatic. But this is just plain stupidity. So we must always expect that things could go bad. This is one way that we can make ourselves firm in this type of situation.

Completely agree with you a good trader never panics. I'm still a novice trader do not have large assets, so a little worried, but I'm sure everything will be fine!

Perhaps you mean ordinary people who bought some kind of crypto currency and are now in a panic? Traders who have at least some experience, most likely did not even think of panicking. There's a cold mind-this is the main weapon of the trader.

if market down iam not emotional
iam still hold long term my coin

When the market is down, I notice that a lot of traders become emotional, hopeless, and they panic. All the bragging about about their "gains" and their portfolio to anyone will listen vanishes from their minds. They forget why they started in the first place and begin to doubt their investments, so they sell... often times at a loss.
On the other hand, those who understand blockchain and the tech remain focused and care little about market swings. Most of the smartest people I know dont sit around refreshing blockfolio 500x a day.. They spend their time reading whitepapers, practicing diligence, and identifying innovation and innovators.
Blockchain is NOT going anywhere. Just because the market is down doesn't mean that devs stop developing or that projects stop reaching their milestones. The technology that's been created *cannot* be undone. As long as you've positioned yourself with solid coins, the VALUE remains the same- even if prices are down. If you believed in it 3 months ago at ATH, and no fundamentals have changed, why are you afraid?
This market is irrational, but we can mostly agree that dips like these are due to SPECULATION and MANIPULATION. If you feel EMOTIONAL when you're about to make a trade... don't do it! And if you can't stand the heat, you might need to consider getting out of the kitchen on the next run up. In the mean time, take some time to educate yourself about blockchain and decentralization if you haven't already
