Why are you TA-fags around? Literally every dip turned out to be because that Kobayashi faggot dumped a massive amount of BTC on the open market. And every minor dump has been because of bad news related to Korea, India, China, Binance, etc.

basically, when you short an asset, you borrow units of that asset and sell them at the current market price. Then, when the price goes down, you buy back the asset at the lower price, pay back what was borrowed, and pocket the difference.

>>8208052
I go all in, then after a few trades I cash out 50% of my total funds. Then I carry on going all-in with what's left. I don't cut losses because my liquidation price is meant to be far enough away that I won't have to. E.g. my liquidation price was 10200 and the price rose to 10100 but I didn't close, then it plummeted to 9100. If it had come to it I would have just added more margin to improve the liquidation price because I was confident it was going to dump again

Looks like you only shorted and got lucky in the last few days. Do you think you can profit from long/short when the market is not volatile?

>> No.8208474

>>8208318
well obviously you'd take a loss.

As an example. Say the price of BTC is $10000. You short 1 BTC, meaning you borrow and sell 1 BTC at market. If the price goes down $500, you'd buy back 1 BTC at $9500, return the 1 BTC you borrowed, and pocket the $500 difference. But if the price increased $500, you'd have to buy back at $10500 and pay the difference out of your pocket.

On margin trading platforms like BitMEX you have to put up collateral before you can borrow, so if the price moves against you it comes out of your margin balance.

This seems legit with a trailing stop but the question is on what criteria...are you just letting each trade ride for awhile or scalping quickly? I'd assume let it ride, but so far I've only looked at 4hr time frame and not 8hr as suggested, it does seem like you have to give yourself a good bit of room to breathe so to speak and not have the stops set all that close?

>You use BitMEX to margin trade
Well, when the site isn't completely fucking borked, you can margin trade. Unlike yesterday, when the site went down conveniently at the same time as the plunge, and a bunch of people got fucked right in the ass getting liquidated and unable to change their positions. And it's also convenient that the site offers NO refunds of any kind for site crashes.

But yeah, you can margin trade there. Most of the time. And if you have any questions, be sure to ask the mods in their chat, who will link you to an article from December 2017, that says "we're looking into the problem".

>> No.8208629

>>8208480
depends on how much leverage you use. At 100x, you could borrow up to $10,000 with your $100. But if the price moves against you even 1% you'd lose everything.

Think about it like this. Take the price change in BTC, divide by the amount you are betting, multiplied by price change times your leverage.

So if the current price is $9300 and the price increased by $700 and you had bet $100 using 5x leverage, your gain would be 100/9300 * 700 * 5 = 37

Not sharing profitable bots makes sense, but trading strategies is silly -- more people that believe in a strat the more likely it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. That's the entire reason TA works, no? Cause anyone with enough capital can discredit literally any TA.

If you think you can't quantify large scale human behavior with respect to overbuying/overselling based on track record of buying and selling you're limited in your thinking.

There will always be an elasticity in price due to people taking profits. You buy at 10 dollars as the price climbs more and more people will be willing to take profits based on when they purchased. It's not that complicated.

Technical analysis seeks to understand that and use patterns that form from this sort of elasticity.

I don't know how much education one needs to be a competent mathematician or statistician in your eyes, but I'm in grad school in a very math heavy field.

Nobody says that TA has any mathematical merit. Thats because it has nothing to do with math. Drawing memelines is not math.

However, empirical evidence suggests that it works. Try drawing some memelines yourself.

I think the main argument against TA is the efficient market hypothesis. If you spend 10 minutes learning what that actually means, then you'll see that it might be a nice mathematical model, but it's obviously not reality as we have trends, bubbles and whatever.

>> No.8215498

>>8215402
Don't give me that bullshit, think about it -- the difference between the successful and the unsuccessful here in large part depends on strategy. Aziz has a 70%-80% profitability; he uses the same basket full of strategies all the time. It doesn't mean he's got the biggest bag of dumb luck on the planet, it implies that blowing up your account is a result of making mistakes -- to put in simple terms, shorting when you should long, longing when you should short, getting involved when you should stay out all together...

People get their asses kicked because they don't treat it as a business. It requires a lot of practice, a lot of study, and a whole lot of discipline -- which, coincidentally, most people tend to shy away from. Don't shit on the game because undisciplined, unlearned, unpracticed and unskilled players get in and blow up their accounts.

What's empirical about trying myself? If anyone had any empirical evidence for TA it would be a huge deal. TA fags are always struggling to come up with scientific evidence for their nonsense.
What field are you studying in? Engineering is math heavy but I wouldn't ask an engineer about statistics.

>> No.8215935

>>8215572
With math heavy I meant the definition-theorem-proof kind of math. The field is theoretical work somewhere along the lines of stats/ml/applied math. But you don't need any math to see empirical evidence that memelines have some kind of merit. Draw some lines on the btcusd chart and ask yourself if that looks like a random walk. How retarded are you? What do you think is empirical evidence? Do you want sombody to give you a mathematical proof? I'm pretty sure that you can find some statistical test that the efficient market is not reality. But thats not a mathematical proof of course and may be wrong anyway.

Also, if you concede that indicators may have merit, then that means that you also concede that the efficient market hypothesis isn't correct.
