I'm a Forex / Bitcoin trader and I thought I'd open a thread in which I share my method / trades.
I have tried trading thousands (literally, thousands) of trading strategies for the past few years, but I have found that the more simple and less elaborate I make my trading, the more profitable it becomes. The system I use for Bitcoin is very, very simple and straight forward.
I trade a 10 and 21 exponential moving average crossover. When the 10 crosses over the 21, I buy. When the 10 crosses under the 21, I sell or sell short. I chart and trade through RTBTC.
