we must evaluate whatever we are going to do.
because otherwise we only get the loss of all the foolish acts we do
I suggest to kitan play safe in trading
because losing money from trading is very painful because we can not play our fund as in gambling

You are right, we can not risk our fund which is very important to our family just is trading.
Do everything that we have the evaluation first because its very important to do.

You explain the things very well. I am fully agree with your views. But how to identify undervalued coins.

I think it is necessary to find some additional articles on the Internet to find the answer to your question or to get interested in specialists in this matter

My article covers alot of it. Of course you should do more research, but I think my Medium post is a good start.

I counted that just holding coins i earn more than i tried to short) You have understand what are you doing and have a lot of time to spend enough on market. But if you are good in it so why not?

Even if you are making money right now, you arent making intelligent trades. 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 shouldnt be attempted.

The only coin I've ever got burned on shorting is ETH and that's because that market is completely irrational even compared to alts in general!

I certainly wouldn't short ETH. Think about a coin like Bitconnect, I wouldnt even recommend shorting it because look how long it took for people to actually figure out it was a scam and for it to crash. The market is insane right now.

I had to hold an ETH short for 3 months and had to buy my margin up a few times but I eventually got paid. It was hairy a few times but everything that goes up must come down eventually.

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?

Firstly marginal trading is already a very risky thing to do and i agree that every minute the BTC market can behave either up or down..... but i will suggest that if you want to short, do your homework well before you want to execute any move.

Yes of course

I am going to wait a long time though before I marginal trade. The market needs to calm down a bit.

Probably it should be added that short-term investments are not a way to earn money, it's probably more like a casino or something related to gambling. That in its essence does not apply to crypto-currencies, because each crypto currency has its own way.

I completely agree with the fact that short-term orders are very risky, especially if you do this during the correction period, in the community generally do not greatly respect this kind of action as far as I understand it

Holding those coins which can be dumped is not a best option, shorting of coins that don't have community support is best.

Holding it for a very short time is only going to cause problems with the investment. Just keep the coins and be happy is what I say.

This can be very true yes.

Totally agree, with shorting you can always miss the train and great chance to be on it.

I wouldnt even try and marginal trade with cryptocurrency period right now, way to hyper and way to many shit coins like Bitconnect are still running.

I don't think all shorting is bad. It depends on what you are holding. If you know clearly that the coin will go down quickly, you'd better dump it in a short term. So it all deoends.

Of course it depends on the exact situation, but in cryptocurrency even if you are profiting you are making a mistake. Kinda like how people read charts and make triangles, 20% that is likely skill while the other 80% is bs.

Which is why you should only be buying good coins, and make intelligent investments. You dont have to "hodl" which isnt even a good strategy. However you can hold it until something changes in the news, market,road map etc that would lead you to believe in a drop.

Yes, this is a useful reference for learning. But do all people really want to learn? Who thinks logically and wants to first study the topic / market, and only then invest, they will find a lot of information in Internet for training. But more than half of people do not want to know anything, understand, teach. They want easy money. They went to the site, they liked the pictures, they saw a bonus of + 50%. And it's all. Many of this is enough to give money to scammers. This is ICO, a similar situation on stock exchanges. They saw growth, bought in the hope that the growth will continue and lost, as a decline. Then these same people will shout that the world is cryptocurrency is a bubble.

You should have knowledge of marginal trading if you are into investing. It isnt something a beginner should get into, but it is useful if you are experienced. As cryptocurrency grows and becomes a little more "stabilized" it will get popular. There will always be people who want quick money, which is why there will be losers in the market. You cant make money if someone isnt losing money.
