The buy vs sell in the last 2 hours on the right hand side will tell you that the trend has moved. Does not take much buy volume to keep prices from dropping despite the larger sell volume for the last 6 hours.

On the left you can find the 4 Hour volume.

5:53PM EST



Ah, I don't know how to read those charts... Thought it was bids and asks on each exchange

At the risk of sounding like a sexist asshole: all I see is a bunch of pussies.

That's not at all sexist, but it does suggest you might be a little, uhh, sexually pent up.

Over time, she earned my respect- something you have still yet to do yourself.

Thank god for that. I would be embarrassed to have a moron like you respect me.

I think I have noticed something. You really hate BJA.

Ya think?  Tongue

What was entertaining about someone whose posts were literally interchangeable for years on end? I can't believe it was an actual human. If it was then I hope I'll never sit next to it on a long train journey.

The responses.

The reason is that if we just flew by 300 idiot traders would just sell us back down.

Shroomskit, is that you?Huh

Lol... I guess I should have said bad traders.

I'm just messin'. I do miss the shroomy entertainment factor, though.

It's a scientific fact that men like taking risks more then women but I guess you feminazis don't care for such things.
Also, I'm sure it was intended as a joke

I guess you would know better than I would, considering every post I've ever read by you seemed like a joke to me.

A large portion of my posts are trollposts, yes

What's your explanation for the rest being so bad, then?

There is no such thing as a "successful" trader. There are traders who may go well one day and bad at another. Whoever claims for his/her error-less abilities he/she may as well claim the title of the bigger liar as well. I personally suck at trading. I must classify myself to the worst trader around; that's why I'm a perma-hodler ever since. Smiley

Well yeah, anyone who claims to never have been wrong is obviously FOS, but you can be wrong sometimes and still make profit. It's all about making more when you're right than you lose when you're wrong.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yep, TERA is a she. She was consistently bearish, but as I remember mostly right. It was a bearish year and no one wanted to hear it. As I recall she found trading bitcoin pretty stressful though.

AFAIK TERA never divulged their gender, and them being a she was based off of some sexist bullshit BJA came up with. Big shock there, I know.

She had brains and skill.  I miss her contributions to the thread.

Oh man if I weren't so lazy, I would find that old post where you said they "trade like a woman," with the clear implication being that they are a coward.

So much respect there.  Roll Eyes

See my post above.  There may be "super-traders" that successfully play such complicated short-term trading strategies, and they may take money from less sophisticated traders; but, averaged over all traders, short-term trading will always be a losing game.
I'm curious what you think of poker and how it compares to the argument you are making.
I don't play poker, but it seems to be a good analogy.  Some players may fare consistently better than others on average, by their greater skills at psychological manipulation and play strategies; averaged over all players, however, it is obviously a zero-sum game.

However, in day trading there are thousands of players who do not know each other.  There there seems to be less room for successful psychological manipulation in that case. 

Most winning in poker comes from good playing strategies. Psychological manipulation isn't as much of a factor as your average layman might think, because you often won't know anyone at the table you're playing at (unless you play pretty damn high stakes or constantly play), and there are a number of successful players who outright ignore it. Most of the psychological aspect involves a lot of guesswork, because for 999/1000 players you play against, you won't ever get to know them well enough to really know exactly how they play.

What's important is that you're playing with players worse than you, and I've got to tell you, if there is a better "table" to sit at then the cryptocurrency markets, I'm not aware of it.

That being said, I would agree that actual day-trading is probably going to be pretty much gambling for most, as short time frames seem to be a lot of noise in such a small market, but mid or long-term trading seems fine.

So yeah, the analogy is pretty apt, I'd say, but it goes a lot deeper than "negative-sum game, best not to play if your goal is profit."

Do you consider everyone else here on BCT other then yourself mentally feeble?  Everyone has own brain to decide what to do.  And it turns out that HODLING at 700 was sound advice because it went up to almost 1200.

To be fair, he did admit to being institutionalized, though I don't recall the fine details because it was so long ago and I couldn't give enough of a shit to retain them.

1. I am not advocating buying at the top of the rally, I am advocating buying right now. When it goes past $500, you are probably too late considering fiat deposit times.
2. $10 million is nothing to hedge funds, retirement funds, etc. There will be be buying pressure right after the auction and long after.
3. People are going to be sick that they missed out on buying bitcoin at these prices. My advice is to buy what you can afford or forever regret. You are lucky to even know what Bitcoin is at this point in its evolution.


1. Didn't say you did. I said thinking like yours, and bear in mind I was talking about your "$1500 overnight" comments. Price is not at all likely to go to $1500 overnight.
2. "Right after the auction and long after" is not "overnight." Again, I was responding to "$1500 overnight" comments.
3. Eh, nothing really to say to that, other than time will tell.

There are so many scenarios where entirely more than $10 million enters the market overnight.

While nothing is a certainty in this world, I'd say the odds of someone dumping 10 million onto an exchange and slamming market buy with every last dime of it are slim to none. If someone had $10 million they wanted to put into bitcoin, they would probably be bidding in the upcoming auction, or buying off-exchange.

...and when they lose the auction, that is exactly what they will do. Maybe not a market order. But certainly a lot of buying pressure after the auction. There will be days in the near future where $10 million per day will be a drop in the bucket. Feel free to save this post and recirculate in the coming months.

One, thinking like yours is what makes people panic buy at the top of rallies. Two, you originally said "$10 million enters the market overnight," not "a lot of buying pressure after the auction."

We need to be shooting for 100% of m2 then. Fuck those other currencies.

Yeah good luck with that.
