My sell of was not perfect.
MT Gox EU.

coinbase. i'd post bot trades but they are boring (buy 500 sell 540 five hundred times)

bitcoin-otc ?

less panic and you'll do good. here's some manual trades I did lately.

see, you don't have to do all sell-buy-sell-buy in one day, that's for bots. you just buy low.

Ok smart guy.

what exchange you on?

Yup, despite it being so 'easy' not lose money right now, this counts as my worst ever Bitcoin trade.

But lets see how the real pro done?

P.S. No show means you are talking out your butthole.

Don't trade with emotions...
Just place limit orders... it's so easy to not lose money right now...
and you just manage to buy high and sell low? WTF?

Wouldn't an All-time-low be, like, .005$?

This is more of a one-month low, is that what you mean? Sounds like a good time to buy

Ok, you go ahead and buy on the all time lows.

But if you don't mind, I will wait until confirmation that the bear trend is over.

(and I really really don't think that is now)

looks like a double apple bottom to me...time to buy

Don't shed digital crocodile tears for me. I am 5K ($8K) up in a month whereas the majority of people who have invested in Bitcoin have lost (don't argue, this is an axiom of boom n bust cycles). I am just a little bit pissed that I mistimed my buy-in and sold prematurely on the bounce....boo hoo hoo poor little me.

It may well go above $600 today. Oh well, a $1200 dollar loss could have been a $500 gain. Win some ye lose some. but at $600 dollars, the 240 minute chart still looks like this:



Time to take advantage of 'cheap' coins!?

Ermmm Nein Danke!

PS. Have you just seen the price?  Bitstamp almost at 580, Now is the time to sell. It will pop back down below $550 before the day is up so you can rebuy at a profit and make up some of those losses. Just a little day trading tip.

Well if you had bought at $480 as I said, you could have exited out at $550 and made a tidy profit.

I don't understand your motivations, either you are day-trading in which case you don't care about long term trends, or you are in it for the long term in which case short term dips mean nothing. It seems to me that you've just taken a fat hit because you couldn't make your mind up. I will shed digital tears for you when it goes past $600 later today.

Are you mental?

I bought at $550, and have just sold at $490.

Yes, that is a 12% loss. I took this on the chin cos the charts are telling me this is as good as its gonna get for quite some time.

But when is the first worst time to buy?

The best time to buy was a few hours ago when it dipped under $400 on Bitstamp.

The second best time to buy is now when it's $480 on Bitstamp.

Well turns out I was being a little too optimistic, but the lowest levels I mentioned ($450 Gox/$380 Stamp) were pretty accurate at least to catch a nice bounce. I think those levels will hold but nothing is certain in bitcoin.

2011 just called... Said something about someone borrowing a ladder...
