I have recently took investing on poloniex serious. Ever since I've invested the alt coins have been down. Do the amount of coins I posses go up if I stay. Also, do I have to wait for the coins to go back to their original price that I bought fo in order to make a profit? What are the reasons to holding if prices are down? Thank-you.
The first mistake you have done is, investing in altcoins because there will be no guarantee that they will bounce back or not. If you have inveted with bitcoins then I will recommend to wait. But altcoins are highly unstable to recover.
In my opinion you have gambled for your capital. Now you must depend on your luck to recover losses. The second mistake you might have entered without stoploss levels. If you have anything like that then better come out at those levels.
