Yes, look up stop loss orders.
I believe bitfinex lets you do this - what I would do is set a sell order to 2 or 3 percent below where I bought in at. If it tanks, I didn't lose much. If it goes up, great!

thats what its called. But no i dont think bittrex has that function. You can set conditional orders which have certain uses but its not a stop loss.

Anyways, i wanted to try shit like this in Binance because with some bnbs the fees are really low. Found out daytrading is fucking hard though. But yea a stable coin should work better

>> No.3535504

>>3535387
but even if it did that, you could just look at another coin to invest in. Or alternatively, catch the correction dip if you think that coin will keep going up; theres always a correction dip.

When i started i FOMOd hard on OMG because i missed it going from like 7-9 and after 9 i thought it would moon hard so i bought at ATH.....But you'll either end up holding some bags for a little or miss the pump and catch the correction dip. OPs strategy is actually solid if you do it with stable non shit coins.

Its not super easy, but i guess the better you are at readiing charts, different analysis/trends, understanding volume, etc, it may be easier.

another idea is to aim for ~10% gains every few days or something like that. I guess the advantage of 1-2% is you'll almost for sure see those fluctuations on any given day. If you could get 2% every day you'd be doubling your money every 5 weeks.
Binance fees are .05% if you use bnbs or .1% otherwise; they added OMG and are picking up a bit of volume

Another thing to keep in mind is bear markets and the fact that everything depends on BTC.

I also just thought about doing it on GDAX with BTC/ETH because no fees. but i kept getting scared BTC would take off and leave me behind. Wouldnt be a big deal though if you're just aiming for 2% daily gains

Before the most recent crash I was working with that combination in order to increase my amount of either. I found it to be much more effective.

When you can no longer put enough money into the market to get a small cut. If you're trying to get 3% out of, say, one million, it's not gonna work. If you pump one million all at once into a coin, the volume rises instantly by a big margin. You're not going to be just going for a small ride, you're actually going to shake up the market.

Think of it this way. If you throw a pebble in a lake, no one will bat an eye. If you shit out a 10 ton rock into it though, you bet your ass people will notice it.

Nigga. How are you this dumb, seriously.

You have 100€. You get a 3% profit a day. Next day you have 103€, not 100 anymore. Now you reinvest those 103€. Next day you have 106.09€. Reinvest those. Rinse and repeat.

Your budget might be 100 at the start, but it grows steadily and exponentially, not linearly.

I've started doing this type of thing. I'm using 1 BTC and putting only 1/20th into each trade. Though I tend to go for 1%-2.5% profit in short 5 minute time scales. You have to do some analysis and time your entry points properly or you'll end-up bagholding/selling at a loss and if you're planning on making many tiny profits, a big loss can easily wipe out all your hard work. That's why I'll try to pull-out at breakeven if I think the price isn't doing what I expected it to. As I'm only investing 1/20th at a time, it's going pretty damn slow but it should speed-up if I'm successful. I also avoid low volume coins - anything with less than 600BTC in 24hours.

Because I'm a lazy fuck, I'm thinking of looking for better entry points on a 1-4 hour scale and trying to win 5%-10%. It's probably not the quickest way to get rich, but it's a repeatable, mechanical process that I'm hoping I'll eventually get the hang of. I've made 50+ trades and have not sold at a loss yet though I've pulled out at breakeven a ton.

You'll have no liquidity after 3 or so BTC unless you diversify. High volume coins that move sideways are very good for this, especially if they are above a well established bottom and have a lot of upside. XRP you could do about 5 BTC worth at a time, maybe more. XEM maybe 3 BTC (I currently do 4 BTC on XEM but it usually hits my order, partially fills and then falls), Stratis is good for 1-2 BTC, GNT 1 BTC.

Those are the only ones I can think of offhand that have strong sideways type movement with mostly upside potential so you won't end up with heavy bags. I don't know every coin, of course. Stuff like OMG and QTUM is pretty volatile and you could end up with bags for a while. I've been stuck in QTUM for like 5 days trying to make 8%.

Also forgot about GRC is you don't have a lot to put in it seems pretty good. It has been hanging out at a low of 700 and up to 1000+ for a long time now. It seems to get pumps of about 20% once a week. I've been holding it as a potential 100% coin for a long time but I might start clipping 15% off instead of waiting for moons. Wouldn't recommend more than 0.3ish BTC, it's low volume, and will require waiting but higher returns.

GNT has an excellent entry point at the moment btw if you have ~1 BTC or less to put in. XEM entry above average also.

I might pop some bucks into that new elixr coin. New, shiny, built somewhat similar to MNE so if could end up pumping fairly high. A lot of coins got burned off or aren't showing up since it converted from tme to elix, right now only 422k on the exchange with a 0.11btc 24 hour volume. So the price could definitely sky rocket quickly. It's a slow ass low liquidity exchange though. Well if i throw 100$ in i guess it's not a big loss if i lose it and could end up being 100k just as quickly.
