but i longed the bit, will add after we break the 10K, average price is 10.3K,  looking good for bulls, but illsave the guns after the breakout and a retest.

well i closed 90% and relonged 67 units, SL moved to 223.99, TP 236.66,
Ofcourse its risky, but it might be a valid breakout bcs 9666 at BIT might now act as support.
There are many ppls in trading view that knows how to teach Smiley SmileySmiley, but why in hell would i wait 12.5K level to be breaken before i enter trades, now is cheap, then it wont be. and in the meantime, i could Swing the LIGHT 20 timesx500 usd= 10K

This king of trading is a very riskfull type and requires a lot of liquidity.
I dont think is a good choice for this period when the market is at a dip because you might miss the rise.
I did this kind of trading but with a small amount of fiat and by the end i`ve lost almost 80% of my money.

not really the first one, i made 6 swings in LTC, all ended in profit, but this is so stresfful, in, out, buy, sell etc..
new trade:
LTC at 214.46
size: 75
SL: 212
TP 222-228
this level is critical, 9366 will be defended hard.

Didn't check in for a few days after a busy weekend. Sad to see that 10k didn't hold but there's still a lot of support. Some speculating a recovery might be sparked on the conclusions of all Chinese new year events today. Nice work on the LTC buy, seems like the first one that really worked out. I think that NEO won't be an issue, long term the project has so much potential and if the Chinese speculation thing is true it will likely be one of the biggest gainers.

i agree, there was one push down an hour ago, but it didnt reach level 10K, and at the same time i was listening to the guy in youtube about the 6K that was poped by my computer + the little sellof...crazy and i closed some of my neo longs ehhh...So i then reenter the LTC at 205.4, TP 216, SL 201 45 units. the other 2 the bit and the neo ill just hold (i feel confortable as long as the 10K holds), losses not realized Smiley, if we go up, they might end at profit after all, i hold also non margin neos, and ill need to liqudate that as weell half of it, when/if  we reach some more +++ i hope at 166-176 level  , i thought market will quicker recover, but the bears and weak hands still want the evryday profit etc etc... so thats the only thing it doesnt just go one way ...LOL

There's been a lot of support firstly at 10k (which did fall) but then again in the mid to high 9000s. It seems that the price might be turning around now which would be a good bottom to have found. If we are above 10k for the rest of the day then I think we'll see 12k fall next week.

SL was hit, so i reenter again at neo when i saw the BIT will turnarround at 9666.
i also longed LTC at 191, and closed it at 204, profit 0.7K.
i averaged up the neo, and the bit,
like i said i am afraid of flash crashes more then that my sl is hit, i checked the market depth and i set below the 5K buy, which was aperantly removed either by broker or tralala, but to trade without A SL, is not something ill do.

yeap, correct, but i did sold at 137 all my margins and at 11200 also 3 bits, but i didnt short which would be the best Sad
curently BIT and light loss floating 1.3K, positions 99% stoped
NEOs, average price 121,22 422 units, SL 108-109
will not move stop, if its hit its hit, bit might go all the way to 9K, the only thing that keeps me in position is that weekends are usually in positive teritory, but it might happen this week wont be.,
if its hit ill loose 7K-8K

Not having much luck right now it seems, good on you for still updating even when things aren't going as planned. The only really way to have done well in the last days would have been to sold out and now re-bought or still be waiting to re-buy. Think that BTC should find some stronger resistance than it did at 10k around 9.5k, that's if it even dips that low.

I have never gotten in to margin trading because I am not sure if I would be adept at it or not. I would like to know do you margin trade mainly coins that have high liquidity am I correct? Also what advice would you give someone entering into this kind of trading and what would be the minimum capital required do you think? I think to margin trade one must have a large bag of resources. I do not think it can be done on a show string budget or am I mistaken at my assumption on this point?  Smiley
i am afrai of flash crashes, when ur stop loss is not HIT, but the liqudation level, thats what i am afraid of ONLY so i will slowly move to BIT only for this reason, but its so hard to stop, its so adictive. i would advice u to have coins 90% in your wallet, and trade with only 10% and if u really think it will turn in your favour to add to position. I now think that weekly chart will outperform the lower ones, and ofcourse i might be wrong, so the 10K level at bit for longs if it doesnt hold, get the hell out.

Stop loss was HIT, not once but twice Smiley, but never as a whole, bcs you must then cover USD with coins, which are cheap!
i added like i said 50 more
now with an average of 126.8, SL 114.2
and i bought 1 BIT at 10535, SL 10235, TP 12500
pls note i trade larger charts, so i dont mind 2-3K floating
i was in neo at 70s, at 112, and i close with BIG profits at 137 region, ofcourse i lost a lot when i was catching bottoms as well.

hello, ill start to post my future margin trades here,...either wrong or right Smiley
yesterday it was a sharp decline so i
bought Neo/usd
at 127.15
SL 118.5
TP 136.6
aprox: 170
Ill add 50 more at 128 or 119 if we go there.


Looks like you hit your stoploss, is that correct? Unfortunate if so because price only marginally dipped below it. It's just a personal opinion but I feel like your stoploss was too close to buy price, I tend to give about double the room to my stop-loss as I do to my target price.

   NEO is at $118.85! As I understand he will strengthen his position at lower
marks with buying more. That is better strategy then exiting. With crypt-currenices,
solid ones, it is not smart to exit after trade. Keep it and all times high will come.
   I understand margin trading is different! I am just saying that I would not apply
stop-loss strategy with solid coins. That is good to with untested alt-coins, and ICO`s.
   Bitcoin, alt-coins, and tokens that have more potential worth to keep, and to be able
to strengthen position if you are financially capable for that. After that wait!

I'm by no means an expert but here's my take on it.

Higher liquidity is definitely better because you can get your orders filled far more often.

It's actually easier with small capital because your orders will get filled in the natural volatility of the market and you won't move them. With large orders they're less likely to get filled as you'll constantly be over/undercut by smaller orders.

How do you do that?
I was never even interested in doing so. If it is profitable I will learn it. Grin
