"play money". I always lol when i hear people say that while it's real money.

It just means I use a relatively small portion of the total money invested to gamble and play the market with. Trading short term fluctuations is just a funny little game, right? Wink

the spread between gox en stamp is betting smaller? Any ideas why?

Used to be 15$ spread when in 100-150 range, like >10%, now its 10$ around the 200 range, so about ~5%...

arbitrage.

someone is doing it.

I think it isn't only arbitrage. New money is flowing into the exchanges, and of course people send it where a) the BTC price is lower, b) money transfers are known to work reasonably well.

Both lets new buyers prefer Bitstamp over MtGox...

I sold 50% of my play money on Bitstamp just to have some fiat ready in case of a correction. There will be a correction, and it will be big so you just have to have some fiat on the side. But no way I'm selling all or the majority of my coins, that's not a risk I'm willing to take when bitcoin can do all kinds of crazy things you weren't expecting.

This bull will try to shake you off. Hold tight!

I just hate this rise. Sold too many coins Sad

No trust anymore that it will go down again to $100. Maybe $130-$150 at best.

We are close to touching the old time high again. This is not 2011.

I'm eating my cake and it tastes like chit.

Buy a little at a time, sell a little at a time, readjust you position so the value of ur btc is a certain percentage if your portfolio

^ I think you answered your own question Wink

In case it's still not clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG1qooBzE2w

LOL - that's my dilemma - I definitely should have held earlier, but in the immediate short term I can see the likelihood of a big correction which would test my resolve, even if it bounced back as it did after SR. I don't know if I've got the balls to see $50-60 or more taken off the price and Hold.

I could never get used to that shitty bitcoinity ticker. I need something like http://trading.i286.org/ where i have a clear oversight of the orderbook.

Bit of a Dilemma. Obviously I'm a pretty shit trader - but checking my trading sheet, if I had simply bought BTC at the time I moved money into Stamp since May - I would have bought at 101 - 120 and 125 and right now I would have nearly double the coins that I do having traded for 5 months! 5 months of stress just to break even

So having just gone back in at $190 - what to do?

Panic and sell when it crashes to 150?

seriously though....I lost 5 btc day trading and decided never to do it again. Long is the way forward.

I think the trick is to do it during the huge flash crash and after a bear market begins. Trying to do it during this exponential rise I have found to be futile.

The only problem is trying to know when the crash will be...
