I love to trade it due to its volatility, much more potential for profits, of course managing risk is still important.

I think crypto trading is just as risky/ complicated as trading anything else

Miles ahead? You mean to lose everything? You don't have to buy BTC to do that.

What makes you think you will lose everything buying BTC? Especially at these prices.

You just need to adjust your strategy to trade cryptos. It's doable alright

Most broker don't have leverage for crypto now any more anyway. I worry that current volatility on crypto is low and many trader will start trading with large lots but when volatility spikes again they will lose all their money

That’s the reality! Really, it’s hard to use crypto as regular basis since we are the retail traders.

Love it. Just like everyone else. You don't understand crypto but because of one article you decide that it is worth investing in. Madness!

Absolutely agree, no need to leverage on crypto.

Somethings I learnt over 3 years trading on crypto:

- Don't use any broker that offer crypto CFD because their spread is crazy (sometimes 1-2%), just trade with own money in exchange like Bitfinex, Binance.

- Truth be told, I gave up predict the trend of crypto since early 2018, instead, in such volatile market, you can make money without predicting the trend of market. Use mathematics, you will find crazy unreasonable volatility in market that you can take advantages by some simple statistical arbitrage strategy.

- One more thing, understand Value at Risk (VAR) theory is critical when you trade in any bubble market like crypto.

ATB,
have fun trading

I am really interested in your idea of using statistical averages. Could you please explain a bit more about how you do this? Do you think it would work with Forex because I mainly trade Forex not crypto

Theretically, you may. To be able to stat-arb, you need to find pairs those are cointegrated, then you trade everytime they diverge. But I never find any forex pair sets which highly cointegrated for a long-term.

You can find some basic knowledge here:

Yep, I thought it's all finished and we just went smoothly with all established crypto currencies, yet like 2 years ago till now they are still popping up everywhere, so please explain this to me ? Somebody just virtually want to increase that interest. Some homemade currency which were issuing there tokens already closed 6 month ago. So it's artifical boom for another....
