It's common to boast about successes and keep shy about failures. So, comparing yourself to others you look like loser. I reckon it would be interesting to get the real picture. Hense the poll.

I suspect the time at which a person began investing in BTC would be a mediating factor affecting the outcome of the poll's results.

I mostly suck at daytrading (with occasional exceptions), so buy and hold seems to work best for me.

I voted that I never sell but that hasn't always been the case.  I changed to that position after a bad round of trading in which i first gained ~3.5 btc, then managed to blow it with a pair of panic buy/sells followed by a 1btc gain which I lost in less than 3 minutes the next morning.

At that point I realized I suck at trading and switched to buy and hold.  luckily, I managed to come out with all the coins I paid cash for.

The poll needs more options:

-buy low and sell lower
-buy high and sell higher (a winning strategy for some traders)
-all of the above (because I have done it all)

The poll is not about your strategy, but about whether your strategy works. Smiley So the question could have been "are you making money on your trading"?

[X] I have both buy and sell ads at localbitcoins.com with each 5-10% premium, and I trade all the time regardless of the current price.

Sell moderately high, buy back pretty low. I usually succeed doing that, except when fear or greed takes over.
