So after doing a TON of research I rearranged my schedule and decided to try my hand at day trading.
I decided to start off really small, so I only put in .02 BTC to see where I can go with it.
I've been using only cryptopia.
After three days...I'm up to .0338711 BTC! Wao! I'm a rich man! lol...
I was pleasantly surprised that a simple strategy brought steady gains.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out indicators of coins that were about to be pumped. I looked at trade volume, spikes in value, market cap, buy/sell order history, etc.
I am going about this very cautiously, so when I felt like a coin was about to or in the beginning to middle stages of being pumped, I would buy it, and right away put in a sell order that was slightly higher for a small gain. I tried my best to not put in too much and resell for a lot higher and the result was steady (but tiny gains). As I get comfortable with this I will probably try larger investments.
I know I'm very amateurish but it feels good to get better at something yeah?
Anyone had similar experiences in day trading?
Don't think about the small profits. You really did great as you were not experienced and yet managed to get a good profit of approx 0.0128711 BTC. That is really great. Most of the time i try day-trading, i faces loss and hence i leave day trading. Trading for long terms have been profitable for me but not day trading. Perhaps I can't understand the dips much properly and hence have loss in it.
