Alright so
X= Original Purchase Price
Y= Current Price
X-(fee%)1.2+Y=gain%
Couldn't you use this with say, $100 initial and small investments adjusted by fee% to achieve the gain you want. If i'm correct the faster you want a payout the smaller it will be, then you repeat with the same X and you would have 0% loss with an adjustable gain. Let me know what you think.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

wouldn't you want something like  [Y / (X * (1 + fee%))] -1 = gain%

Could you explain your work please? Im getting a gain of 1.26% at 0.03 fee? (X=4.9, Y=5.12), which would work but I'm not seeing how it would effect outcome differently.

 (5.12 / (4.9 *(1+0.03))) -1 = 1.45%

current price = 5.12
buy price = 4.9 *(1+0.03) = 5.05
difference is 0.07 or 1.45%

Of course, if you are paying 3% of the sale price, then 5.12 * (1- 0.03) = 4.966 received and there is a loss of 1.6%  (4.966 / 5/05).
