Planning Your Cryptocurrency Trade

“If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.” ― Yogi Berra, former New York Yankees catcher

Planning is thinking in advance about what is to be done when it is to be done, and how it is to be done. In otherwords, planning bridges the gap between where you are today and where you want to reach.

Planning involves setting objectives and deciding in advance the appropriate course of action to achieve these objectives.

The importance of planning in any business or trade or endeavor cannot be over-emphasized, it is very important and essential to plan ahead.

The cryptocurrency trading space is a very volatile and highly fluctuating space in which without planning, you will just always end up losing and leaving the flourishing market frustrated and biased. You need to plan when to buy, when to sell, which percentage loss you can risk, which percentage gain is your target, all these if not noted will make your trade looks like a child’s play.

Planning Your Cryptocurrency Trade


Why Plan Your Trade

Here are the reasons Why You Should Plan Your Cryptocurrency Trade:

1. Planning provides Direction: Like I said earlier, The Cryptocurrency trading space is a very volatile and highly fluctuating space. You need to have a direction. For example; If you buy an Altcoin, you have to plan ahead (with reference to the price you bought the coin), when to sell, which percentage profit you want on the coin and which percentage loss you can take on the coin. For instance; if you buy AAVE at $86, with reference to purchase price, you will have to plan which percentage profit you want; maybe 5%, that is you want to sell it at 5% of $86 + $86 which is equal to $90.3. So with a plan you have been able to make your profit.

2. Planning reduces wasteful activities: Most especially for day traders, planning makes you have focus and not just waste your time unnecessarily in the market. When you have a plan, you execute the plan and exit the trade. ASAP!

3. Focus: With proper planning, you will have focus and be able to prevent and shy-away from any unnecessary market fluctuations from affecting your profits. Even if the market is not going your way, planning makes you have a focus that will keep you positively in the market.

4. Planning controls Anxiety and Covetousness: With planning, you will be able to prevent falling into any trap or anxiety caused by the natural volatility of the market.

How do I Plan my trade?

Planning a trade differs from each other. But there are some general practices which are:

1. Note your capital

2. Have a percentage profit

3. Trade, Hit your percentage profit and exit the trade (if you wish).

Get planning, and make sure you plan every trade. ASAP!

Trading Strategies are specific and general techniques you use in your trading. The cryptocurrency trading space is too large not to go there without a trading technique or strategy.

A Trading Strategy is a specific plan to achieve one or more trading goals under conditions of uncertainty caused by the volatility of the cryptocurrency space.

Volatility In Cryptocurrency Trading

Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or 

market index. In most cases, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. 

Volatility is often measured as either the standard deviation or variance between returns from that same security or market index.

Volatility In Cryptocurrency trading


In finance, volatility is the degree of variation of a trading price series over time, usually 

measured by the standard deviation of logarithmic returns. Historic volatility measures a 

time-series of past market prices.

Volatility is simply the degree or manner in which a Cryptocurrency rise and falls in 

respect to time. It is the fluctuation in the market value of cryptocurrencies with respect 

to time.

What causes Volatility?

Volatility in the value of Cryptocurrency is caused by mainly the buying power of 

the market. A coin or token in a high buying state tends to increase in value and a coin or 

token with a low buying state tends to decrease in value to attract more buyers.
