I've been watching the BTC price for what seems like forever. Coinbase charges 1% in fees. I figure if I can (for example) buy at $225 and sell at $228, then I've made over 1%. It doesn't sound very hard. I will have my coins instantly if I register my credit card on Coinbase, right?
EDIT: Plus then I get to spend more time reading the hilarity scrolling up the BTC-e trollbox.
this is what i was thinking before i started trading. i though it is easy an i simply buy low and sell higher (with considering fees) and i will profit. but in action it is much harder than that, specially in a long run.
anyway i figured out that bitcoin market is not meant for me so i went to altcoin market and it was good for me so far. but i still have much to learn.
I'm coming from the other direction. I know the altcoin market well but lately I've been wondering if I'm neglecting BTC.
Were you trying to make multiple trades per day? I'm thinking more like swing trading (although I said day trading before).
