I know its pretty pointless arguing with you but perhaps you just got it wrong, perhaps you are not quite the trader you think you are?
No, no-one was yelling short the last couple of days but then do you really take trading advice from the internet....really?
Equally did you really think we were going to break out past 400....there's been no true technical reversal from the original drop a few months back. And the sharp spike a few days ago should have been a massive alarm bell. This has happened over and over. I'm a very cautious trader and rarely do so but even I knew this mini-rally was just a piss and wind bull trap.
Bombing the forum with multiple threads and posts about how rigged the market is just makes you look extremely butt-hurt.
Anyway, since you are going, don't forget your coat, enjoy the rest of the Scottish winter and have fun with your GBP.
Yeah there was no reason to go long here at 390, from a random spike, was clearly a bulltrap. My post history from 2 days ago even said i'm closing my long at 385. I havent touched it since even when we popped over 390.
MattheCat - I agree with you about how this market is run. it is frustrating when you like bitcoin. However at the end of the day you were hoping to win on someone else's dime and you lost on yours. Don't hate the player, hate the game. I feel the same way but I'm hoping for a reasonable buy in window sometime over the next few months and i have my view of where we should be - instead of being a spaz and changing that view when someone pumps up the price out of nowhere for no reason, I'm sticking to it, and making money along the drops.
I'm not a good trader. Just do the opposite of what the whales do.
