Welcome back, JJG. While I didn't miss your incessant walls-o-text, I kinda missed you, yourselfies.
Fair enough.. sometimes we can quite wear on each other over the years... .. even with some "goods" mixed in there, too.
Yup, I've been selling some since. After buying some more. Because that's what the strategy calls for.
Nice to get confirmation, once in a while, because I hate to assume too much, even when systems might be in place, people tweak and change their minds and even their approach from time to time....
While I don't know the level of your holdings, I'm guessing you're off by ordersofmagnitudesish regarding my percentage of holdings allocated to trading.
I suppose that could be, and in the whole scheme of things, some of the details might not really matter too much, even though from time to time, there might be little statements that cause some curiosity or maybe they seem to contradict (or to be in tension with) previous impressions.
I don't mind providing some details from time to time, too.. it sometimes can be helpful to other members to get some senses of what other members are doing or attempting to do. So for example, I feel kind of lucky in this particular round of BTC price movements because my sell and buy orders triggered almost exactly on the reversals... which seems to be a fairly rare event.... at least in my experience.. even though it does sometimes happen, it is a bit rare to be like within a few dollars and each of my orders are either $200 or even larger apart. So, causes me to become a bit glee-ful even though I set my orders in such a way that I try not to become emotional about them, and I do not tend to change them either, so the price has to come to me, rather than my tweaking in order to fill the order.. so even though filling the order in a very tight kind of way causes emotions, it is largely just like winning a trinket out of a machine.. it is really NOT that BIG of a thing financially, just makes me feel good.
So I had my last sell orders trigger right around $10,500 on February 13. Then I had about 18 buy orders fill between $8,410-ish and $9,910-ish. The reason that there is so many is because they are on two exchanges and both of them hit exactly... hahahahah... So it is almost the equivalent of 9 buy orders filled because they are pretty close to parallel prices on each of the exchanges.. and similar amounts, too.
My next sell orders are just shy of $9,300, so I have not had any trigger, yet.. since that last filling of the $8,410-ish buy orders. If my sell orders do not trigger, then my next buy orders are at around $8,210-ish... so you can see that currently I have nearly a $1,100 spread between my current sell orders and my current buy orders.. sometimes the spread is a bit larger and sometimes it is a bit smaller, and I kind of play around with my spread on the fly, even though there is still quite a bit of robotism in my methodology, too.
My current increments on the way down for BTC buy orders are around $200 for quite a ways down.. and my current increments on the way up for BTC sell orders are around $250 until we get to $11k, and then they turn into $500 and then stay at $500 until we get to $15k, then they turn to $1,000 until we get to $20k then they get higher yet.. but I am NOT sure if I am going to want to tweak those numbers a bit.. I have some alternative proposed numbers in a spreadsheet that I would likely contemplate before we get to $17,500 (assuming we do). Furthermore, I am quite sure that I would need to do a bit of juggling of my buy orders below $6k if we were to go below $6k, which is seeming increasingly doubtful.. but surely still NOT out of the question.. even though seemingly higher and higher unlikely the more that time passes and we stay quite a bit above $8k.
