Why not earn on margin trading and shorting bitcoin when i know it will go down for sure,its a way for me to earn even on the price fall out like we had after futures as everyone knew that price will go down and they just stand and watch while they lose money...Yes margin trading isnt for everyone but when you learn how it works its a good way to earn on price action

Correct, it's not for n00bs you have to be in this space for quite some time and don't think you can jump from a stock or forex market and be able to play in this sandbox. Cheesy

In my opinion margin trading is like dangerous stunt. But too many people think they are stuntmen and tries to make this stunt without prepairing and without equipment. We all know how this can end.

margin trading is extremely risky especially in crypto market. why would i risk all my money by margin trading. I mean normal trading is enough profitable for me here. Bitcoin price is totally unpredictable now and it is impossible to make a clear decision about it.

Anyone shorting this shit? You can't even pick a loser, short anything and your good!

This is certainly not the right move.

It certainly was and then it was perfect time to buy as I stated in the speculation thread. Cheesy

If you dont understand marginal trading, check out my Medium Post: Understanding Marginal Trading.

I see a lot of people are interested in shorting, however I would advise against it. The market is acting irrational, and people are investing in obvious "shit coins". Shorting a coin that you think is over evaluated is not a good idea, because it can continue to be over evaluated, tons of people are investing in awful coins that have NO utility. So even if you are right, you are playing a dangerous game and when you factor in risk management it likely isn't a good idea. Thoughts?

Margin trading is more effective when the market is stable and the bitcoin's going to bull run,surely it is easier to predict while when the bears are present you will have less chance to win a trade.

Shorting would be paying off really well lately all the alts have been in the red for quit awhile now, really the only ones not worth shorting are top projects and even those are paying off. Ripple is a great example of a overpriced centralized manipulated cap coin that needs to die.

OP There's no need to do it for me also because before the price of the coins here become really high but it's take time so i say you only need to buy/sell in that time even no margin you can easily click you phone to sell.I think there's no need to margin your coins because the price is really volatile so for me ig depends of the situation of the coins like if the coins stay only in the price of 0.004 btc to 0.0048 btc only.

it really is necessary that you should not be satisfied with the shortest of the time you enter into a business and the signature campaign and whatever else you will get, just as you can.

Most likely you can deal with short-term investments or perhaps better call it the opening and closing of orders on coins or tokens that have a regular sinusoid in the chart, but there is always a possibility that it will go down and it will fall, so it is very difficult to be sure.

I agree and wouldn't think of shorting because it may never go down to the point that you shorted at.

On the other hand in this market I would feel comfortable going long because given enough time I think most coins will rise again (assuming you are going long on a solid coin) it's just a matter of how much interest will you be paying until it reaches a profitable position again

this is true I was long during the BCC fork and it cost me max for about a week when all the lending dried up. I found out the hard way when I got home that Plo doesn't renew at the amount you set and even then doesn't auto renew when a lower rate appears. I was pretty pissed at that. Max interest there can kill you.

The market is very irrational, and so your risk management is not in a good position. I wouldn't say you are getting "lucky" but you are not making smart choices. Until the market calms down, and coins like Bitconnect arent getting $2b in funding marginal trading really should'nt be attempted.

I understand where you're coming from, but in this space, the markets won't calm down, or may do so just for a short while then it's back to crazy again. It's still the wild west. So actually, if you can manage the risk, and you're doing well with shorting, then why not?
