I tried to make some quick buck with margin trading on poloniex recently and lost around half of my bankroll with blink of an eye with Ethereum, i think i have made a bad decision of playing with alts when price of bitcoin was not so stable.
What are your good/bad experiences with altcoin margin trading?
Basically when you do margin trading on polo you have to keep in mind 3 things:
1)play only with amounts you are comfortable to, remember you have a leverage
2)remember you can't close each position with a profit, there are loss, if you don't accept it, it will bring you more losses
3)set (realistic) goals and set also a maximum amount you can lose
A study of patterns and candlestick could be helpful
Happy trading!
