Well, that was a fun introduction to trading hashtag lol So, it's been 10 months since my last post. I didn't get rekt like most freshmen, but only by pure luck and some quick action based on well-timed

I've decided to re-evaluate my strategy as I have been losing quite a bit of money lately. I've redistributed my portfolio into a few coins that I think will have some nice appreciation over the next one

I decided to exit out of my XRP position with a small loss so that I could jump on the FUN train. I was curious as to what might be causing such a steady pump over a couple of days of this coin and it

Well, BQX got that pump I was predicting. Based on the behavior, I am convinced that it was not for the reasons that I thought it would be, so clearly my analysis has a ways to go, but it sure did take

Update: 2/1/18 3:30 - The .00366 wall was eaten in a matter of ~15 minutes. This resulted in an almost immediate 10% spike. This was not what I expected. I was surprised to see that wall get bought out

Well, I've been trying to make sense of how to make money in a bearish market. But I am just not ready. I've got myself into some nasty positions and am just going to have to wait it out. I'll either recover

Well, I made some questionable decisions today and ended up losing about $700 all together. Luckily, I'll be out of town this weekend, so I won't be able to trade. $0 days are better than -$ days! Losses

If you have been following this blog, you know that one of my worst days ever was because of a bad read I made on TRX. Although, I swore to stay off the sauce, I still kept TRX on my favorites list just

Well, leaving my funds unattended in ETH Sunday night and Monday was not the best idea. Now, I've totally missed this great opportunity to multiply my funds. Instead, I'm going to have to take a backseat

...And it hasn't worked out so well. Today hasn't been so great, in general. It started off with me really misreading ETH. I bought in at $1300 in the morning and then watched it drop all day long while

So the last couple of days of ETH correction had me thinking. Eventually this market (and the crypto market in general) will take a big bear turn. Then what? Personally, I don't want to be trading ETH

It seemed like the markets were molasses today. Even the normally choppy seas of APPC were almost at a standstill. Overnight, the price did manage to work its way back up and just about the time I woke

Toda was pretty slow. I'm not sure how it is in the other markets, but ETH was atypical. I think since Ethereum is sliding, people are a little spooked. I also noticed that whenever ETH tried to make a

Technically I made ~$200 today and I was going to title this “I didn’t make as much today….” But then ETH tanked.. :/ So how can I lose money, but still consider myself a better trader? I have to thank

Another good day! I know they can’t all be good, but damn. My assumption at this point is that anyone with a lick of sense about them (not me, obviously) must be a millionaire already trading in this market.

Apparently, after my epic battle against myself last night, I forgot to log out of coinigy. So, this morning while I was having my first coffee, eating breakfast and talking with my wife, I kept hearing

I jumped right back into APPC this morning. Yes, on 1-minute candles again. And yes, I’ve already been yelled at. Via text message by my cousin. I know, I know but I couldn’t help. It was so much fun yesterday

It started out as a really slow day. I couldn't find anything interesting to trade. I tried getting into NEO, but wussed out after a few hours and got out at +1%. Of course, an hour later, it finally went

I don’t know when (or if) I’ll ever get my steemit account activated, but I’ll keep track of some of the more exciting or dumb things that happen between now and then. 1/2/18 - I had a pretty good day

This blog is about one goal. During 2018, I am going to try try and turn an initial $5000 investment in crypto currency into $1,000,000. I have no experience in trading and will be documenting my successes
