Looks like someone pressed the "Oh he's just bought in, let's drop the price by 4%" button again. Seriously, it happens every time.

I hate that, happens to me too. It'll follow the same pattern for like 3 cycles, I'll buy in and it'll drop more. Or I'll sell at what looks like peak and it'll go up. Fortunately for me that tends to only be immediately, and an hour or so later i am still coming out ahead.

Quick! Sell before it drops more! Never! XD I'm keeping them forever and ever! Or until they gain a profit, anyway.

not really, I still have the same financial value when they return to the price I bought at. AFTER that, I will sell them.
The 'ever and ever' bit was just humour.

Same story over and over ... its not a loss if I own a coin ... I just don't get it ... its totally irrational thinking IMO Cut your losses quick, run your profits as far as you can That is how to make money trading Or are you an investor looking to $ average over time ... in which case, fair enough. But that's not trading ... Quite happy with buying at $100.1 and selling at $111.5 on bitstamp today ... a good day I have bad days too - I am not scared to take a loss if I get in at the wrong point ... that way you live to fight another day IMO you are dead in the long run if you can't cut a wrong trade and run a right one

That's exactly cutting your profits and accumulating your losses.

Well, I aim for 3% increase in BTC volume per day, so since I have just bought the BTC at $112.5, it's not worth cutting my losses at $110, as it will take longer to recover them. Anyway, the downward trend seems to have lost momentum, and is turning back upwards. I'm trying to make my initial buy-in of 6.2 bitcoins* into enough to quit work - I'm at 16.7 now, after 2.5 weeks, so eventually I will manage it - if only I can purchase and sell at the right time for once. I'd rather take my time, and tread carefully. I have slipped back too many times this week (I had 22.5 BTC at one point, then held cash due to a badly timed sell, as it shot up on the 3rd while I was asleep. I tried to recover by buying in late, just as it peaked again - I lost about $500 that day) The thing is, I have very limited resources, and I really don't think it will drop much below $110 again any time soon, so I'd rather not risk it. * I bought those (literally) 15 minutes before it plunged from $250....

lol, I hope not! I am making mistakes, yes, and I know it - but every one I do, I learn from. Not too well, I know, but I am learning. I too, want a pink Rolls Royce one of these days EDIT: I wasn't aiming for sympathy, just stating facts as they were.
