Yea man, almost the same with me too
After Golem & Nexium, I had to fall back a little bit
The past week or so, since NXC & GNT, they had me second guessing myself, and just straight nervous to make any trades
I drive a lot for my regular job, so during 9-5 business hours, sometimes its hard for me to be on poloniex checking charts & stuff
I'm trying a different strategy right now
Usually between 1:00am-4:00am eastern time things calm down on Poloniex
So thats when I usually do my buying and chart analysis, when the prices are low
I write down what price I bought the coin, then I calculate & write down what price I need to sell to make a 5% profit and/or 10% profit
Then I setup an automatic stop sell order for that price
I also write down the price for a 5% loss, just so I can keep it in the back of my mind
Then go to sleep quick nap, wake up for work in the morning
I got lucky a couple times where coins pumped 5% when I was sleeping, which triggered my auto sell order
But usually throughout the day, I occasionally glance at this BGOL thread, or glance at Poloniex prices, just to see which coins are making my 5% or so profit
I try to spread my money around to like 5-10 different coins
Last night I bought:
SDC @ 295020
STEEM @ 6200
BTC @ 1248
DASH @ 87.50
ETH @ 28.50
SDC, pumped 5% when I was sleeping, so I already made my daily profit from that
(I could have made more b/c its still pumping now but, I'm not going to be greedy. It is what it is)
STEEM, still fluctuating near my original buy in price, so no profit really made yet
BTC, still fluctuating near my original buy in price too, so no profit really made yet
No auto sell set b/c Bitcoin is a long hold for me
DASH, instead of doing a 5% profit auto sell, I set an auto sell limit specifically at the price of $99
I figured with DASH, it would get close to that $100 then people would be taking profit which would cause the price to drop
So I made a little over 10% profit today
ETH, its already jumped over 5% profit
But no auto sell set b/c Ethereum is a long hold for me, just like Bitcoin
This is probably not the best strategy for everyone
But it works for me right now, b/c of trying to do this & work a regular 9-to-5 job
