The best time to buy was a few hours ago when it dipped under $400 on Bitstamp.
The second best time to buy is now when it's $480 on Bitstamp.
Are you mental?
I bought at $550, and have just sold at $490.
Yes, that is a 12% loss. I took this on the chin cos the charts are telling me this is as good as its gonna get for quite some time.
Don't trade with emotions...
Just place limit orders... it's so easy to not lose money right now...
and you just manage to buy high and sell low? WTF?
Ok smart guy.
what exchange you on?
Let us see your trades for this downturn?
