You can skip step two. I've tried praying for a price swing and it doesn't work. With this in mind, we can come up with a new plan:

1) Buy or sell
2) ? ? ?
3) Profit!

I prefer this :
1. buy low
2. sell higher than the price at (1.) + the fee of the damm greedy Exchange * 2
3. repeat steps (1.) and (2.)
4. PROFIT!!!111ONEONEONE  :P

of course, the real Zen of trading is to know the perfect time for buy and sell actions... *sigh*  ???

The trading is great. I was disappointed by the recent failure to break out above 5.50 as it left more than half ( in total dollar terms ) of my short orders unfilled on Bitcoinica. On the other hand today's dip was a fine time to take profits from shorting I started above 5.

Long term, short is the place to be, if there wasn't a place to short bitcoin I wouldn't be messing with it at all.

I always miss the big dips and rallys by a day.  I get tired of the sideways action, so I pull out of a moderately sized position (for me) and wait to make another move.  Then of course, like clockwork, the market makes a big move.  I've recently decided to try and day trade the 1.5% "noise" that happens all day.  You know, how the bots seem to trade back and forth tiny amounts, just enough to cover the Gox fee for a buy and sell.  Drives me crazy, but if you can't beat em, join em.
