I does not think we should blame anyone for the low price happening now. We know that in crypto supply and demand makes up the price of the coin. The coins supply did not increase all of a sudden which means is the demand being affected. So deduce from this we should be able to understand that is the fault of the people who are leaving the market.

Am expecting a bull run and I know many other persons are also expecting the same, but please how do I know the signs that the market will give to show the bull run is ready to start?

From what i know the most you can do is watching crypto charts going into a bullish trend Moving Average will be a great tool for you to do it.

The market was steady still and hold and stabilized for now but my question is how long it will be like these. Bitcoin Ethereum ripple is holding its ground including the top Altcoins for more than a week now. Is this a good sign or another Bluff! drop your comment below.

Firstly i will see this phenomenon as a good start for a bull run to happen but will a bull run really happen is still unclear. Last few days we the price of bitcoin is on a rise but was hit back to the level of 3900 and this also signify the market is still not stable yet.

I do not mean to mention one or more crypto that have received support from the bank,
but what I want to discuss is, is crypto really supposed to get support from the bank? to be strong and can be applied as a means of payment.
if I see the reason crypto is made is to be able to stand alone without having to use bank services.
so it's kind of funny to me that crypto has to get support from the bank.
what do you think?
give your opinion so that we can discuss and increase our insight.

Ya i have the same thinking as you having the support of the bank can be a bonus to crypto but in actual fact crypto and bank is totally a different game one is centralized and one is decentralized

With so many facets to look at and brood over when weighing a stock buy, it's easy to forget about the little things. The stop-loss order is one of those little things, but it can also make a world of difference. Just about everybody can benefit from this tool in some way. Read on to find out why.

What Is a Stop-loss Order?
It is an order placed with a broker to buy or sell once the stock reaches a certain price. A stop-loss is designed to limit an investor's loss on a security position. Setting a stop-loss order for 10% below the price at which you bought the stock will limit your loss to 10%. For example, let's say you just purchased Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) at $20 per share. Right after buying the stock you enter a stop-loss order for $18. This means that if the stock falls below $18, your shares will then be sold at the prevailing market price.

Positives and Negatives
The advantage of a stop-loss order is you don't have to monitor on a daily basis how a stock is performing. This is especially handy when you are on vacation or in a situation that prevents you from watching your stocks for an extended period of time.

The disadvantage is that the stop price could be activated by a short-term fluctuation in a stock's price. The key is picking a stop-loss percentage that allows a stock to fluctuate day to day while preventing as much downside risk as possible. Setting a 5% stop loss on a stock that has a history of fluctuating 10% or more in a week is not the best strategy. You'll most likely just lose money on the commission generated from the execution of your stop-loss order.

There are no hard and fast rules for the level at which stops should be placed. This totally depends on your individual investing style: an active trader might use 5% while a long-term investor might choose 15% or more.

Another thing to keep in mind is that once your stop price is reached, your stop order becomes a market order and the price at which you sell may be much different from the stop price. This is especially true in a fast-moving market where stock prices can change rapidly.

A last restriction with the stop-loss order is that many brokers do not allow you to place a stop order on certain securities like OTC Bulletin Board stocks or penny stocks.

Not Just for Preventing Losses
Stop-loss orders are traditionally thought of as a way to prevent losses thus it's namesake. Another use of this tool, though, is to lock in profits, in which case it is sometimes referred to as a "trailing stop". Here, the stop-loss order is set at a percentage level below, not the price at which you bought it, but the current market price. The price of the stop loss adjusts as the stock price fluctuates. Remember, if a stock goes up, what you have is an unrealized gain, which means you don't have the cash in hand until you sell. Using a trailing stop allows you to let profits run while at the same time guaranteeing at least some realized capital gain.

Continuing with our Microsoft example from above, say you set a trailing stop order for 10% below the current price, and the stock skyrockets to $30 within a month. Your trailing-stop order would then lock in at $27 per share ($30 - (10% x $30) = $27). This is the worst price you would receive, so even if the stock takes an unexpected dip, you won't be in the red. Of course, keep in mind the stop-loss order is still a market order - it simply stays dormant and is activated only when the trigger price is reached -- so the price your sale actually trades at may be slightly different than the specified trigger price.

Advantages of the Stop-Loss Order
First of all, the beauty of the stop-loss order is that it costs nothing to implement. Your regular commission is charged only once the stop-loss price has been reached and the stock must be sold. You can think of it as a free insurance policy.

Most importantly, a stop loss allows decision making to be free from any emotional influences. People tend to fall in love with stocks, believing that if they give a stock another chance, it will come around. This causes procrastination and delay, when giving the stock yet another chance may only cause losses to mount.

No matter what type of investor you are, you should know why you own a stock. A value investor's criteria will be different from that of a growth investor, which will be different still from an active trader. Anyone strategy may work, but only if you stick to the strategy. This also means that if you are a hardcore buy-and-hold investor, your stop-loss orders are next to useless.

The point here is to be confident in your strategy and carry through with your plan. Stop-loss orders can help you stay on track without clouding your judgment with emotion.

Finally, it's important to realize that stop-loss orders do not guarantee you'll make money in the stock market; you still have to make intelligent investment decisions. If you don't, you'll lose just as much money as you would without a stop loss, only at a much slower rate.

Conclusion
A stop-loss order is a simple tool, yet so many investors fail to use it. Whether to prevent excessive losses or to lock in profits, nearly all investing styles can benefit from this trade. Think of a stop loss as an insurance policy: you hope you never have to use it, but it's good to know you have the protection should you need it.

Detail information you have there and i strongly urged that no matter how confident you are in your trade you should always put a stop loss you never know next minute the market might go haywire.

Last night when the cryptocurrency declined in price, many people gave news that crypto would drop below 3000 USD,
the reason is because it will approach the Chinese new year,
I am a little sure, but I am also always sure that it might not happen, because what determines is the market,
and however we can actually move the market if we walk together and don't panic to sell assets.

Dropping below 3000 is possible anytime not only because of a decline. Although cryptocurrency is a trading instrument just like any trading instrument and i do agree with you crypto just work like a supply and demand. So as long as more and more holders we will not see a decline in price the cause of decline is yourself.   

Seen the market green for about 6 days now and still continue, I am beginning to wonder of this is the real bull run we have been waiting for or just a teaser?

I am also not sure whether this is really a bull run or bull trap but i am certain that if you pull your trigger to buy more potential coins at the moment the value of the coins are still very low and you definitely will profit more than those going into the market later but at the same time you need to be prepared for the worst if the market make another plunge.

While everyone does not want the crypto market to crash, skilled traders are quite happy even if the market is crashing since they can still gain from market volatility. This is why it's important to master the art of trading. You can have consistent profits whether the market is going up or going down.

Lets assume if the market really crash what you are earning from crypto will not be profitable as well as we know crypto is not like fiat which has its value you still need to change it to bitcoin or ethereum in order to get the funds.
