Btc-e.com and bitfinex.com are probably most popular. Both offer short trading and also leverage if you want it. I prefer bitfinex as customer support is way better.

Bitfinex looks promising, and I will look into it later (though they don't trade doges, as I got it so far). I've heard not very good things about the Btc-e exchange (them seem to be keen on ruining their clients). Though, on the other hand, they are long enough in the trade (no pun) to just run away with money...

Yes, i had a bad experience with btc-e so I'll admit I'm bias. I still have a few hundred dollars in account there that I can log into and trade but it is impossible to withdraw because the email associated with the account no longer exist. (They require you to confirm withdraws with an email). My fault for the email but customer support will not help me with this. I've submitted dozens of support tickets and jump through hoops to confirm I am the owner. Even proved I had the same IP as when the account was open. All that to no avail. So I chalked it up as a loss. Shrugs.

You say that the email associated with your account no longer exists, but why is it impossible to recreate it? Did you forget the password to it, or was it an email at your previous work? Could you expand more on this, some people could probably help you with your woe...

It was a gmail account that I deleted not remembering it was for btc-e. I never made withdrawls in the $700+ days. Hahaha. I actually tried to recreate it some time ago but was unable to. I wonder if gmail waits some amount of time and then allows one to take the username.

I don't think that you can fully delete your account at gmail (and still less do I believe that google returns deleted accounts to the pool of available emails). Did you register it with a phone confirmation? If you did, I guess you could restore it if you wrote to support...

If it is taken (hardly so), you could also try to contact the person behind it

This works assuming it will go up in the long run. To me that is more investing than trading. Trading consists of long and short positions so you are able to profit on the way down as well as up.

No one can forbid you from selling a small fraction of your bitcoins on downward corrections, and then again pursue this investment strategy after the price rebounds. Also, could you name bitcoin exchanges that allow opening short positions? I'm interested in firsthand experience...

There is a trading technique called Dollar-Cost Averaging, implementing which allows you to buy shares (for example) below the average market price in the long run. The technique consists in regular purchases of a relatively small fixed dollar amount of shares. In this manner, more shares will be purchased at lower prices, and less shares at higher prices, so the average cost per share will be diminishing with time. I see no difficulties in applying this technique to trading in bitcoins (though I didn't try it out personally)...

just buy low and sell high. very simple.
and on days with high volume trading can be very profitable.

Exactly, there is no other "method" for trading. This is the only way you can trade and be profitable.

Where do you usually trade? any tips or site?

Learninig how to day trade, can learn on other actual fiat sites like eg: timsykes, etc.

The question is either can you use the same style for bitcoin. Some people are suggesting to buy here or whatever at this price. But, I dont think its wise to "chase" trades.

This is why we can't have nice things. Nobody wants to buy something for $300 and have it be worth $250 the very next day.

This is soo true. haha
