The first step is to stop looking at the past graphs and thinking "how much I could earn if I sold and bought optimally". Noone can do this. Then some patience is needed and of course ignoring all these "panic sell" and "CCMF" posts. In fact both will happen when noone expects them.

Personally I've implemented a very simple bot, which can react, when I'm offline. My strategy can be summarized by "It is better to earn 10%, even if others earned 50%, than loose 10%". Seems to start working after initial period of learning.
