Been trying to trade up and down all weekend, and largely (since it has always sung back at some point) it's been OK.
That said, I have hardly slept and been too scared to risk BTC in fiat to really risk more than two or three coins at once.
All weekend I watched the screens for fart too long and I think I made less than half a BTC wile risking thousands of dollars at a time.
I have (almost) given up - as one stupid trade would probabaly wipe out what meager money I have made thus far!
You've hardly slept to make half a Bitcoin on some trades? Hardly seems worth it, does it?
No - I meant on a whole weekend - maybe 20 hours of red-eyed watching candles - altogether!
EDIT: So, no it wasn't worth it- I am not a great trader, even after studying this stuff since earlier this year - anyone smarter than me might have...
I find watching Parabolic SAR to be rewarding... That said, I feel your suffering, as this week-end left me for an emotional wreck, and only about a bitcoin to show for the suffering.
That makes you twice as smart as me - but equally drained!
The only saving grace - was in the wee small hours I remembered (I confess, and yes - I know!) I bought some 'ripples' ages ago, and assumed they were worthless - but checked in and with BTC tanking they had shot up, so I flogged most of them for coin.
Last time I looked it was about 80,000 per BTC, but it suddenly went to 15,000 on Saturday - so cashed 'em out for a few coins - they have tanked again now, so that was a lucky break - made me feel stupid about watching the candles after that, went out and had a good drink and left my phone behind so I couldn't check Bitcoinwisdom - the forum was down too, it was good idea to get out.... There is life outside - really!
better than newbie jail.
(also I don't know how you get 2 months out of this)
