So, I get that we're still in the holiday vibe, and a lot of traders are thinking about solid strategies to rake in profits in crypto next year. That's why I wanted to start this convo. Changing up your strategies won’t really help much if you don't truly understand them. Sticking to one strategy that you know well can actually be more profitable than jumping around between different methods. You have to ask yourself if those new strategies are even legit or just a gamble. The strategy you've been using for years is something you know inside out, and when the time comes, you can use it effectively to maximize your profits. We all know people get into crypto for the income, right? So, why not feel comfortable with the single strategy that's been working for you? I know some folks have their reasons for switching things up, and it’d be cool if you could share your thoughts on this for newbies who are trying to figure out their next move.

No one is going to look for more or different strategies if they are doing great profits for years with only one they knew. So there's a reason why they look for different things and there's nothing wrong with it as long as they do their own research about implementing them effectively according to the current scenario, having dynamic strategy and a back-up/exit plan when the market take unexpected turns will save from potential loss. BTW, there's only one real strategy which is "Buy low and Sell High".

Traders will keep trying out different strategies until they find that one strategy that fits perfectly into what they want in terms of profitability and risks tolerance and maybe any other goal they intend to achieve. No one will want to abandon a strategy that works perfectly for them, except they are just being greedy. Remember also that no one can stick to only one strategy for ever. The market is dynamic, so certain market conditions may force the trader to follow a different approach to maximise profit. That is why traders must keep learning and stay updated.

Personally I love learning new things, in another field I know fully well I’m not knowledgeable trying out different strategy is not a bad idea rather you’re educating yourself about different strategy. If you’re scared of losing everything and might cause regret later on it’s better sticking with the common strategy that seems familiar yet how can a trader grow when it’s all about just one strategy. Most people trade perfectly with just one strategy so in such situation it might sound off going for something else but still depends on what the person want either going for more or staying at same level.

I think, there are some Vita reasons why some traders make use of different strategies to make income from their trading, because if the single strategy they are using is working well the way they want it, I don't think they will border themselves to add another strategy, because they are there to make income from trading. The  single strategy I'm using over some years is giving me what I want whenever am ready to trade my coins in the bullish season which I don't see any reason that will make me to add another strategy, because I'm getting a good results I want from trading. To me, if you are knowledgeable of using the different types of strategies to make income, you can go ahead and continue using them because traders are into trading for income purposes.

Exactly!!! Mastering it and doing it consistently is only the key once you already found yours but before this, you will encounter a lot of bumpy roads along the way, it's not easy to have one strategy that will work on you and for long term that will give you consistent profits so you can say "stay in one strategy"

I do agree sticking to one strategy works best. Funny enough that strategy is not actual trading itself. Affiliates earn the most from trading And everybody, here is one example of a poster using the AI/Machine content creator strategy to post spam in Trading section. Great strategy since most people fall for it. That's not a strategy, that's the definition traders hope for But you're right, people just forget the basics sometimes.

Stick to a particular strategy for a duration, no matter the season or volatility experienced in the market. Once it becomes clear how such a trader performs via earnings and experience during this period, then it is sure that profit can be increased. No trader I know made much profit from using one strategy for too long still, and that's why there should be balance when strategies are deployed.

One thing about trading is that  no matter the strategy you are using, you will not win 100% of your trade but how you can stay profitable on the long run is if you can also managed your risk to reward ratios. Having a good strategy and also a proper risk to reward management will help you become profitable. There are many trading strategy and from my observation, all those strategy are profitable but one Is profitable than the other, respectively.  I was looking at my success rate in the previous month when I was only using the support and resistant strategy and I notice I had more winning trades compare to the new strategy that am using now but I love the new strategy am using now because I know it will also be profitable on the long run.

I don’t think trading can change your life in the short term (unless you’re in a country where $1000 is a good amount of money) so you should think of trading as a way to boost your liquidity which can be used to buy more Bitcoin. In the long term this Bitcoin can change your life if you diversify your investments. Regarding continuing with the same strategy, in trading you must be mobile, as the same strategy may not work for all cases and times.

The best and risk-free strategy has always been the same. Buy&Hodl till you make it. How will you know when you made it? Trust me you’ll know when you did. You don’t need to do anything else. The more complicated your trading strategy gets, the longer it will take for you to reach your dreams. Buy&Hodl is simple, safe and effective. You don’t need to program a bot or use algorithms. Buy and Hodl. Any monkey can do that and yet so many people fail. I wonder why

Honestly, I don't know if it is a typo but what you're saying here contradicts each other because I don't see any reason a trader will choose to stick to one trading strategy and still consider the idea of balancing strategy when a new one is introduced. From my perspective, we are in a market that's improving and growing every day where information is the most powerful tool to thrive. Therefore, using a single strategy will make the trader strategy to be obsolete.

That strategy is too broad; you need to be more specific because timing is crucial to making it effective. If the strategy already worked, then he should stick with it since the main goal is to be profitable, and if he’s already achieving that, there’s no need to overcomplicate things. It’s fine to experiment if you’re not satisfied with your earnings, but profit is still profit. If you want to increase it using the same strategy, focus on raising a bigger capital to amplify your results.

Well I never mentioned that short term trading can change your life, but if you have knowledgeable about that strategy you are using in trading your crypto in the general market to earn income, I believe it will going to change your life because we are referring income to money, and you can use money to set up a good business that will position you to other sources of income, I agree with you on having diversify investment, if you are knowledgeable about the investment because that is the preaching they are preaching to newbies to have other sources of income to be able to succeed well like other professional traders in the industry, but if you are knowledgeable with your mobile strategy, I think it will going to work well with your single strategy to earn income.

From time to time, have to change your trading strategy when it stops working. But as a rule, a trader uses not one trading strategy, but several. In this case, these trading strategies are used as an addition to the main one and, if necessary, can replace it at some point.

It is better to use only one strategy in the trading activity you are doing than many that can confuse the strategy or analysis you are doing on the chart. At least if there is only one, you will definitely have nothing to wait for except what you expect to happen. And in case something goes against what you think will happen, you should also have an SL to put in so that you can still catch up on your losses in trading because if you don't practice putting in an SL, you will definitely always be liquidated.

You are not wrong at all. The way trading should be done in bear market is different from the way trading should be done in bull market. But there are still some strategies that traders need to not neglect during bull and bear market. Some of them are not to use high leverage. Averaging means patience and can lead to a profitable trading if used accurately and perfectly. Another one is to avoid martingale. As martingale is not good in gambling it is not good in everywhere. Patient traders make money over time because they are patient.

I agree with the statement to focus more on one strategy in trading, because I think we all know how difficult it is to have and learn various strategies, having more strategies is indeed better but it is very complicated to learn and what happens later makes us confused in determining the moment. Maybe you have heard this saying "1 move that is trained 1000x is much more deadly than 1000 moves that are trained 1x", so in my opinion it is better to maximize one or two strategies and master them because it can make it easier for us to find profit, because believe me that having too many strategies will only make us feel confused.

Investment with a same strategy can work for many people and in a long time like Dollar Cost Averaging. In trading, it is very different and one trading strategy can bring different results in different market phases. Trading is not investment, not holding and different market phases with different trend, volatility will have different pressure on traders. Traders need to be very mobile or in other words, flexible with trading strategy. Make sure to use stop loss order, or stop limit order as prevention if a strategy does not work well.

The risky part of crypto trading is that it may not always be in your favour and you may lose more if you’re not sustainable in it. It is better to take some part of the profits from crypto trading and invest into bitcoin because of its less risk and high probability of earning more profits in the future when held for the long time. The market is very much volatile and trading needs you to be knowledgeable in order to be profitable. Crypto trading is not a guess or luck game but requires you to learn and continue learning in order to be successful in it. Due to the volatile nature of the market, one needs to also have a shift in strategy because one strategy will not always work forever. A shift in the condition of the market may also affect the condition of strategy you were employing before. It is good to know the strategy that best works for any market conditions before applying them.
