MostCommonPitfalls

1.Placingtoomuchimportanceon:
Buy/SellWalls.Ibarelylookatbuy/sellwallsbecausethesecanbe
manipulatedsoeasilyespeciallyforlowervolumealtcoins.Ionlyuse
this,ifever,tohaveabetterideaofsupport/resistancelevels,although
IknowmanypeoplewilltellmetheseworkwondersandItrustyoutoo.
MarketCapitalization.Marketcapsarenothingmorethantwonumbers
multipliedbyeachothertotalsupplyandprice.Itgivesyouagood
judgementofhowacryptoiscurrentlydoing,butinnowaydoesitsay
ifanaltcoinisagoodbuy/sellnow.Ithinkwhat'smoreimportantwhen
lookingforlongtermbuysisthetotalhashrate(andrateofgrowth)of
thecryptocurrency.
NewsStories.Moreoftenthannot,newsisalreadyfactoredintoprice
bythetimeyoureadaboutit.Ofcourse,exceptionsinclude"big"
piecesofnewssuchasChina'sgovernmentintervention,recent
Russia'sban,andissueswith(then)leadingexchanges.
2.Overtrading.I'lllettheguywhomIlearntallmyBitcointradingfundamentalsfrom

3.Nothavingaplanbeforehand.Ican'temphasizethisenough.Manypeoplejump
intobuyinganaltcoinwithoutthinkingabouttheirexitplan.Whatisyourtarget,
whenyoudosellandtakeprofit,whendoyousellandcutlosses,ordoyouhave

(notso)longrun.
4.Tryingtopredictabottom/top.Nobodycanpredictexactlywherethepriceis

Thanks for the good advice and hard work. Too poor to donate right now, but
perhaps after following your advice I'll be able to come back and thank you
properly.

Thanks for the post, great advice. I wanted to add that IRC channels are also
good sources of info, especially when gauging market sentiment for shortterm
trades. There's usually a channel for every alt, with #[name of the altcoin].

Well written and helpful. I stumbled upon this article while seeking out any
information regarding hedging alt currencies other than BTC or LTC. Would you
dash me any leads you have on such a website? Thanks.. Jacob
