MAYBE sell the news...Hong Kong is now in June 1st oo, we no see anything grin grin But let's wait till 9 am Hong Kong time, which is our midnight...

I suspect it is for some to buy low...intentional...then a rapid upward rally to 29k, then from there....

I may be saying nonsense... tongue tongue

However, the riggers know what they are doing, those with heavy bags...that's why I say regulation is needed in the crypto industry. The stock market may fit some personalities here...but "jaguda" everywhere....

All this Hong Kong narrative...June 1 is almost here, so we shall see...for me, it is 50-50, not really looking forward to it...but coins may start pumping from tomorrow in anticipation...and then bam downward on June 1st. Maybe not...but any coins to hold should be on the network allowed for HK retailers.

Or what do you guys think?

For this particular trade how do I know the percentage gain? So sorry for my newbie questions
There is market data for such % gain if you look at the performance of the coin. Go to Binance or Coinmarketcap. Also, know how much you invested and how much it is now. Minus that.

InvestmentRe: Crypto Currency Investors Thread by twosquare(m): 9:34pm On May 29, 2023
It goes two ways. First, I often buy low depending on how much % it has lost. You have to check the performance that day and that week to decide, even that month (depending on your trading scope).

Second, I also buy if it hasn't gain much in percentage and there is a potential it will rise. Anything beyond 10% rise, I rarely venture into it except it has a history of doing 20%, 30%, and even 40% before going down again (since we are not in a bull market).

As for stop loss, it is a feature every trader should use to protect profits. Sometimes, you may be asleep and some are just waking at other parts of the world. And you won't know when it drops. I use trailing stop often. Trailing stop has rules. If it drops at a set percentage from the profits you've made (maybe 1%, 2% or even 0.2%), it sells automatically. It is to maximize profit...you can also use it to buy lower than anticipated.

That's just it. No one wants to wake up and find $20 in his portfolio from $100.

Thanks man I'd appreciate sorry, one more thing do you used stop loss or you buy low and when there's increase in %gain you takeout the profit?

What would happen to your dollars u bought high if the new Nigerian government succeed with eradicating the multiple exchange rate and we swiftly fall to official rate N461.3 to a dollar.
That's a massive loss. However, I would still be happy if it happens.

Nigerian government would stop importation of fuel and it's likes (save millions of dollars monthly)
Export fuel (strengthen naira)...

What are ur thoughts and views as regards this, pls share.
I've thought about it. I think they will negotiate with big players and institutions to fix a unified exchange rate. They will do consultations. So, before that, keep your ears to the ground.

As for ₦461, I don't see that despite the refinery. It's still close to the official rate which is a facade. We are still an import-dependent nation in other areas, although PMS takes more of it. And I think they will float the naira gradually rather than defend. I will liquidate all my coins and rebuy at the unified rate.

Maybe ₦500 - ₦600.

do you invest on dex or cex? I like your system how much do you think I can start with currently having $120 do you think is enough?
I do CEX...low fees, etc. As for DEX, I'm not familiar with it. I pick race when Ethereum gas fees plus DEX fees wan kill me. SO, I do only CEX (Binance).

Although those who turn small capital into much start with DEX but it's not for the faint heart, especially when dealing with Ethereum.

As for 120$,it depends on your perspective. If you can get a coins that does 10% - 15% in a week, not at the same time... Return is $12. So, I will say save to invest...$200 is okay for a start.

*The higher the capital, the higher the reward.

InvestmentRe: Crypto Currency Investors Thread by twosquare(m):
I understand, and I was here when it all happened. No newbie should reach out to anyone (for whoever is reading this thread). What people should do is read, study, gather wisdom here and there, do personal research, try out some stuff, and do your thing.

Anyone who is "academically lazy" or "research lazy" will always be "meat" for scammers (scavengers). People who can't DIY have no business in crypto. I have also seen people a lot on Twitter, big influencers who are into crypto but I only take some of what they say and discard the rest. So, people shouldn't take mine hook, line, and sinker. It just my opinion and I have said it for those who read my posts...always dyor and nfa. It is at your own risk, including mine.

So, no offense taken...just clarity for those who don't want to take steps.
Chikacha:
I don't think it an abuse. It is okay to share how you make it and how sure you are about it. But we also have to make sure it is clear enough that it is all trial and not a financial advice. Otherwise, newbies will be tempted to contact anyone who sounds like they know what they are doing. History shows that such newbies become exploited. angry

Before that Bro saved us with his 100 USD, that was all we had here.

Someone asked a questioned and I answered...and I gave tips to find people finding it difficult...peradventure, they can learn and make amends if my advice is worth taking note.

Have I asked anyone to bring money, mentor, or trade on their behalf? ...I only drop tips on the coins I feel should do well and I emphatically say dyor, not financial advice. This is to help recover "losses" so people won't be discouraged.

And I'm not an exchanger. Also, what is the point of this thread if people can't share ideas, wins, losses, mistakes, discoveries, and doubts?

Is it to oppress, discourage, encourage or edify?

A question brought it...and I refuted...they are not sweet stories, it is the reality and as a matter of fact, I'm doing poorly far more than some...despite it looking like "sweet". How many millions of traders do we have in Asia, not to talk of USA and Europe? Hence, we are infinitesimal in the scheme of things.

I think I will pause since it appears people don't want to be "humble" to be advised. 70%, then it should be reduced to 20%.


SINisSIN:
No one is abusing you. The guys that commented above are just trying to caution traders here because of of all these scam stories left and right.

For instance, I have done transactions worth millions of naira with Omobola121 and she always delivered without issues. Infact, she was one of the best exchanger I have transacted with so far. Always fast with payment and no stories.

But now, someone just reported she is owning him some fund and she is not communicating with him concerning the said fund.

Their point is no one is to be trusted 100%. Life happens like the above username said and putting up sweet stories of how you are making money is not necessarily.

Personally, I can't never show anyone where I'm making money. Let me be making my money and everyone should find their level too.

And yes we are not ready for this conversation. 70% of traders here are not making tangible money in crypto now but let's leave the conversation.

No o...you don't have to leave it when the target is streams of income..automate your trade...micro can be weekly or biweekly, depending on the capital.

if you have time, you can study what Binance has to offer on trading bots. They have a service like that...

InvestmentRe: Crypto Currency Investors Thread by twosquare(m): 11:28pm On May 27, 2023
I will respond to the last sentence...it depends on your intention anyway. Of course, if it dips, I hate hearing buy the dips, and it dips further, where will you find the money to buy another? That is why I said it is important to know the intention. Buy the dips are sweet for long term investors, then people with a lot of capital who knows it will probably be in profit 6 months down the line or a year.

Now, for us in an economy which is not hourly, nor no much jobs (it is still tolerable for those in the first-world economies), I will only recommend being conservative.

Now, for everyone on this thread...I don't know the exchange people use. If you use MEXC for instance, it is limited in some features, compared to Binance. I know DCA you mentioned, and I realised you kinda like it as you mention it on this thread often, but not for me. Binance for instance, offers trailing stop. So, you can use it to minimise your loss and lock in profits rather than DCA. You can also use it to buy dips more than anticipated.

And to avoid DCA, you've got to be conservative. Don't HODL (except you are long-term)...study the antecedent of the coin you are trading and look at the data of the price for some weeks...[b]Check the highs and lows [/b]for the two weeks or more, so you are certain you are not buying high when it is doing 10% or 20, and they dump on you. Sure, bad news happen which can make things go awry, but most times, things are a bit stable.

As volatile as crypto is, there are coins even that are "kings of volatility" in the same space...Solana for instance, Bitcoin, Meme coins, etc, and may be slow in response. As tempting as Solana is now at $19, i can't buy it coz of its antecedents of losing too much unlike some coins...

Micro trading may recover some of your losses...

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION...NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.



Chikacha:
I am not against micro trading and profit, I absolutely get your point. But the real deal is that with that micro trading if we have not made our 1.5 till now it is just hanging on and not profit.

Yes, I agree that profit is subjective especially if you have a business or you are a corporation but no matter how subjective and flexible people are, they still come down to profit reconciliation. You reconcile your time, energy, and expenses, including opportunity cost! grin (na only God fit help us for that one).

405k is a lot of money for a month but at what cost and how consistent. If the time that we put into making 405k is eating into our consistent income, it becomes a loss. Hence, if profit for you is having cash at hand, then you are good but if profit for you is generational wealth, don't even think about balancing things because na heart break.

I have decided not to mention the wearing and tearing of emotions on our bodies.

Remember, whenever you trade, if it dips and you add more money to average down, when next you sell you must account for that extra DCA before calling the profit. At this rate, only people saying they made profit are in profit while the most of us keep wondering why we don't.

My bro....profit is profit...that is why i said it is subjective...what is profit to me may not be to you or a whale for that matter. Even if it is 5$ increase from 100, making it $105, it is still profit...but when you get $95, it is loss right?

I understand your point but if I'm waiting for a substantial amount to gain before I sell, I may never be able to gather much. For 2 days now, the little scraps I gathered is around $30 gain...small, yes, but if I can repeat that feat every 2 days in a week, that's $30 x 6 = $180 (N135k)...135k every week for 3 weeks is 405k. I deliberately removed the 4th week. Know that these are just postulations...and don't tell me someone in this present day Nigeria with 405k won't do much despite our currency devaluation.

I just want you to see the big picture...people don't celebrate little wins and that little drops make an ocean. If we all on this thread are waiting for a big profit before we call it profit, then we will all wait for God knows when till the market clears us all out.




Chikacha:
Ogaa Twosquare, there is no in-between oo. You are either making profit or you are not.
if we stared trading since January till now and we have not doubled or tripled that money. We are just surviving and not making profit.

I think that to breakeven is to double your money and profit is when you breakeven after pulling the capital, so from 1.5x.

I am not counting all the time we invested in analyzing and looking at our screens.

100% agree with your last point there. If after all this suffering we have not learned to retain money, then....


UPDATE
Assuming I bought something for 5k and then it dip to 1k, if i sold it for 1.5k and tripled it in PEPE, I am still not in profit.
InvestmentRe: Crypto Currency Investors Thread by twosquare(m): 7:06pm On May 27, 2023
Making money is subjective...and presently, i have a limit I can use to trade...for now $500...if I make a 10% profit from that, that's $50. And after an accumulation to maybe $100, it goes straight to my naira bank account. The best temptation to lose all when you are still gaining experience is using one's total money to trade. From May, starting from Pepe run and the meme season, till now, profit is $400...and that's 300k. And there are bills to pay, man.

Yes, I trade with a small amount to *understand*, to test, and to know if I have mastered certain things because I recently switched from long term to weekly trading. After all, I have made some calls on coins on this thread that I was mostly right...that means if i have huge capital to invest, it is possible to make good profits. When I am ready to trade with 750k ($1000), I know when to start. No one wants to be in a position where he loses all and can't pay rent, groceries, etc because of investment go wrong...don't pray it for my enemy.

*The best way to test yourself if you will make it in a bull run is in a bear market. If one can make a good decision in a bear market that you don't lose much profits in it, the probability is high that you will retain more of your profits in a bull run.

The best trading stategies are swing trading and position trading.

If you want to make it in the next bull run, then position trading is for you...similar to a long term investor. You start accumulating now before the ship sails...
