I avoid trading Bitcoin at present and just continue to accumulate. That said, i do trade alt-coins with a pretty decent success rate mainly based on basic TA and FA, aswell as any events or product releases that may be coming up in the near future. I'm a swing trader and happy to remain that way, i literally don't have the time or patience to sit in front of my screen all day! 

I havent been brave enough to dip my toe into the water of shorting/longing Bitcoin as i think its very easy to blow your cash and akin to gambling unless you 99% know what you are doing. Though i must admit i have been tempted...
