sorry i completely forgot about this topic

now lets look at the orderbooks.
if you sell ~1BTC the price will drop $10
and if you sell ~2BTC the price will drop $25
strange assumption. Do you really think such amount will influence the market?
it was not an assumption. i opened up cex.io and checked out the orderbook of that time. and by that time if you sold those amounts price would have fallen that much.
in deeper prices the orderbook volume became more though.
apart from withdrawal fee you will be paying trading fees too.
$20,000 * 2.5% = $500 * 2 = $1000
i don't know how much the fiat deposit in bitstamp and withdrawal from cex.io will cost
according to fee schedule it's 0.25%, and not 2.5%
https://www.bitstamp.net/fee_schedule/ yeah, sorry i fixed it!
p.s. did you try it and see if you can make profit in reality or is it still at concept/theory stage?
