With this votality i wouldnt go for long term trades. Watch the charts at
http://bitcoinwisdom.com and learn when it will potentially go up. In the last days im making +5% every day with just trading 2-5 times a day for only a plus of $5-$10 a trade.
Just dont jump in blind, this way i also lost up to 50% of my investment. Now im Up 75%.
