Transform your losing trading strategy into a profitable one

[Pandu Geddon]

So, if you already have a losing trading strategy, you can make it profitable by intelligently reversing your entry zones. Simply try doing the opposite of what you usually do. Take the time to rebuild your strategy and learn how to identify liquidity.

I am sure in practice it is still not as easy as you say. Traders can do it, but it looks like they are doing it with a trial and error approach. I don't know if you have succeeded with that method, but I might not do it. Because in every situation where you will enter to open a trade, the market is always different, and such an approach may not always work. It might happen by luck, but it won't become a trading strategy that you can use consistently.

Here is a simple trick that can help you turn your losing trading strategy into a profitable one.

First, you need to understand that financial markets (stocks, cryptocurrencies, forex) only move in two directions: they either go up or they go down. In reality, this is the only thing we can be certain of in the markets — they are either bullish or bearish.

So, if you already have a losing trading strategy, you can make it profitable by intelligently reversing your entry zones. Simply try doing the opposite of what you usually do. Take the time to rebuild your strategy and learn how to identify liquidity.

Interesting concept, but oversimplified. Reversing a losing strategy isn’t a guaranteed fix to a bad strategy isn’t just wrong on direction. In natural stance, it may have flawed logic, poor risk management, or random entries. Simply doing the opposite could lead to equally poor results unless you understand why it was failing in the first place. Real risk and results edge comes from identifying inefficiencies, managing risk, and adapting to liquidity and not just flipping trades.

The OP strategy looks perfect in theory but wouldn't be so perfect in reality, we should understand that trading is risky and a strategy that didn't give you profit now can give you tomorrow so it's not all about changing strategies all the time. If trading wins depends on mood swing by changing strategies when you are losing I believe that many traders will always be profitable because all they really need to do is the needful. You should first understand why your strategy is failing and determine where you need to make adjustments to be a better trader. One wrong trading strategy that I know is impatience, any trader that is in a hurry to enter and make profit will most likely be a loser, opposite of it which is patience is a better strategy.

you are right, for new trader, It's important to understand that professional traders not just making a guess. They use proven methods, focus on risk management, and look for recurring patterns. When the market changes, they adapt their basic rules, rather than creating a new strategy from scratch. so, it's not about luck, but about discipline in implementing a proven system. Luck is just a bonus, a well-thought-out strategy is the key for success in trade.

The trick you suggest is simple, but in reality, it's not all that. In fact, if you do that, you'll only make losses. Have you ever bought a stock and the price went down, but when you sold it, the price went up? I think every trader has experienced this. So, when entering the market, everything we plan can be difficult to execute correctly, especially when we experience losses when the price goes down, but even if we do our best, it doesn't necessarily mean the price goes up.

Strategy and analysis are important in trading, not using the opposite strategy. Using the opposite strategy isn't wrong, but it rarely works. This is especially true when we have limited funds, because emotions can arise during losses, leading us to make the wrong decisions. Therefore, trading isn't just about luck. We need analysis and strategies that have been independently researched.

The wish of every traders is to be lucky on the time, to be earning income from trading without loss which is very difficult for traders to experience. There are some few trader who have the knowledge to earn income whenever they are trading in the market but they are professional traders. No traders will like to maintain the lossing strategy except newbies, because they don't know that the lossing strategy will cost them more losses in the future. Maintain the strategy that is making you to earn income from the market, it will transform your progress that will make other traders to know that you have the idea of income earning in crypto trading.

Oh, really? So, you think if it works that way every trader who has suffered losses wouldn't have turned their way around or you think it hadn't occured to anyone of them to think the way you just enumerated? Just so you know, trading and its psychology don't work that way.

Have all traders taken the time to review their strategy, reverse it, adjust it?
Trading is not as difficult as you think

It's not enough to think it in your head, you have to try it,

I have tried this strategy many times and it works best for me, I bought an asset when it was decreasing, I bought it again after a decrease of about -30% , and the last one, I bought it again totaling three times purchases.

I was patient with the trade and believed in the strategy, after three months, the asset starting spiking up higher far above the initial price I bought at.

Not everyone can partake in this though,many truly believe in buy lower sell higher, but the reverse might be better.

If you are new in trading and its just a self study you need to make a double of effort because its all your knowledge and understanding with the market now its just good now because we have a paper trading so you can try it out your trade if its effective or not before doing it into a real trade. Now if you are an experience trader for sure most of those trades is all of your hard work and effort but again its market so anything can happen and not anticipated its all on your skills how to make safe your funds. Always analyze your trades even its a win or losses because this always serve a knowledge can be applied to your future trades.

Every trader focus on strategy that will always bring profit for them. No one will like to be lose alot in trading, I can says trading is all about luck, I mean you need to get the Knowledge and experience before you can be a lucky trader. and even if you have the best strategy you will surely lose one day, because is always volatile and he can make you lose when the market is not in your side. As for me I can't be changing different strategies because I don't like lose that is why I always minimize my risk. And anytime I lose on the strategies I understand better I will wait for some days and study more and be looking my mentor with strategy he always used and try to learn from him more better. In my opinion two strategy is OK for middle traders that  doesn't yet get full experience about trading. Is only professional trader that used different once and try to take the risk if he will favour them or not.

Reversing never works, do not be fooled about that at al, it is not something you could gain anything from. Reality is that we are going to end up with a much worse result if we are not careful, and because of that we should be considering how to get a better result when the time permits and find a brand new one.

Plus, building a strategy isn't hard, perfecting one is easy. I can come up with 100 strategies in 10 minutes, doesn't mean any of them would work, and even the ones who made you a profit, could be perfected to death. So basically, you need time to make it better, but you can definitely test out many many strategies, and if you give just 3 months to all of them, and see which one you like the best, then you can spend years tweaking that to your liking.

Patience with a good strategy has always been a good way to make money from the market.
I have used several strategies in the past which had made me some reasonable profit from the crypto market. Once we have the patience to hold, we would not have problem with the strategy we are using. Traders has to be very careful when making decisions on what to buy and what to sell because traders keep making different mistakes just because of the haste to make fast money from the market which supposed not to be so. We ought to be very careful so we don't end up trading or buying a dead project that could end up in rug pull at any time.

I agree with you. This strategy isn't as easy as it seems. It seems simple, but it's difficult to implement in the market. Furthermore, fluctuating market fluctuations naturally create different situations, which can influence our emotions when making decisions. Even if you succeed, it's just luck. Trading isn't just about guesswork; it's about analysis and research.

I think every trader has tried this strategy, making the opposite decision, but it's not that easy because the circumstances are different. After experiencing a loss, your capital will undoubtedly be limited, and this will also emotionally impact your decision making in a short time. When experiencing a loss, the best option is to evaluate, not make the opposite decision.

If you’re using this method to trade, I will say you’re still a gambler. Using this method, you don’t need to even want to analyse the market anymore. You just take a trade on one device ti be a buy and a second one to be a sell, but in the end, you’ll still lose. You may think it is easy to accomplish, using that same technique you used and lost and decided to use it in the opposite direction, it is then you’ll know the market doesn’t work that way. Just find a way to find your edge in trading and apply it.

You can’t be 100% perfect, you lose your trade not because that was not the right direction the market was suppose to go, but because you violated some rules which ought to all be in place before entering the market. If you try this and it works for you, then must traders would have been profitable today but that’s not how it works so you know. What I know some traders who wants to have students and not real traders do is that; they open a buy in one decide and a sell in the other one, the one they win on is the one they show the world and believe they’re profitable in their trades. So be careful who you want to use as mentor and follow up with.

It's easy to say, but the application is very complicated because the market always moves in two directions, moreover there is no advance notice of which way the market will move. All traders always want profits, but one thing to understand, there is no certainty in the crypto market.
It's important to emphasize that no strategy can guarantee profits because crypto trading carries high risks. Therefore, before trading, you need to conduct research, anticipate risks, be disciplined, and avoid becoming easily emotional when the market declines after purchasing. Continue learning to improve your knowledge of crypto trading.

You got it slightly different from what OP meant. OP meant proper trading as in Futures Trading, not Spot Trading. What you described there was spot trading. We can't refer to spot trading as real trading. I tend to see it as investing to hodl. It's hodling, sort of, if you get my drift there.

What OP meant was that once your indicators or strategy signals you to buy, you should get into the opposite. That's sell. If it signals you to buy, you should start selling.

What you just described there is called DCAing. In Forex Trading, it's called martingale strategy. You buy when an asset drops. You continue to buy when it drops so that once it starts rallying up in price you will be in massive profit.

Proper trading is not leverage trading, proper trading is spot trading. Leverage is just what people with insane confidence do, but that is not what you should do. Plus if you are doing terrible at leverage trading, reversing your stance will not help. Like if it goes up when you say down, and then you end up shorting when you think it will go up, what kind of "strategy" is that?

It's definitely a terrible one, and we shouldn't really expect one to be that good. So that is why I honestly expect this to be a bit different. I am sure we are going to see it change, but for that reason I am not entirely sure how different it will be for your profits. If OP really thinks that will work, then let him do it and prove to us that he can make money that way.

Trading strategy can only be in two options, it’s either good or winning strategy, or a bad strategy that will make you lose your trades. If it’s good, then stick with it. But if it’s bad, then take time to improve it. However, it’s not all the time that you can turn your negative strategy into a positive one, that’s the reality. There are strategies that aren’t perfect on your trading style, no matter how hard you try.

Just accept the fact that some strategies aren’t suitable in trading, and they will be forever bad strategies that will never be useful in your trades. That’s the reason why there is a trial and error method, so you can test which strategy is more suitable and profitable, and which one doesn’t deserve our valuable time.

@jaberwock, I'm not really sure how to respond to you on this because I feel you were supposed to have quoted the OP, not me. However, I will respond to the part I found necessary below 👇

Proper trading is not leverage trading, proper trading is spot trading. Leverage is just what people with insane confidence do, but that is not what you should do.

Leverage isn't what people with insane confidence do. It's normal risk in business. I don't know what your experience or background in trading is. I don't know why you class spot trading as proper/real trading and then Futures as otherwise. Futures trading is what happens in FX trading. Remember that FX trading existed long before crypto trading even began; decades, actually. We've FX trading. There's also Index trading and all that. Spot trading is conservative and less of a risk. Perhaps that was what you meant? Well, anyone who's scared of losing shouldn't venture into Futures or any other form of trading that's not spot trading.

Do you think it is that easy as you just say it? It’s as hard as you may expect, saying it is easy but implementing it to work is another thing entirely. No one is liking the way he lose money in trading, but they mostly don’t have choice and have tried several methods to stop the losses which has mostly failed because the crypto space isn’t transparent as it used to be before especially altcoins.

Although your advice is valid and can work, but it is not as easy as you may think mate. Trading is more than you think, only experienced traders can understand and make quick changes, newbies will have to do it gradually.

This won't be an idealistic strategy at all. How do you believe this? Have you tried it? I followed my own strategy; sometimes I needed to wait longer to take profits, though, but still I could make money. To me your idea is the worst for me, and I might lose a lot. Trading isn't easy like you are saying now. It seems like gambling to me; just do the reverse of what you are doing now. Every trader should have their own strategy. They must need to learn strategies and should update with the time.

This is why it's sometimes not advisable to stick to a particular strategy, though your points here seems valid to me but then having tried that severally and there's no profitable play out there's need for a change. And mind you this doesn't work for everyone, it could be profitable to you and be opposite to the next person.
