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.

+1. And some people don't buy, just mine :-) 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 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. 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.
