yeah....as though much of the other 'orders' were simply faked volume in order to entice suckerstraders in to play. When I first discovered leveraged trading on Bitfinex, it seemed like I couldn't lose when they still allowed Stop Losses to be routed through Bitstamp, but when they took that routing option away, I started getting my pockets picked left right n centre.

I may go back to that place, but would never ever place a leveraged trade there in a low volume environment such as what we have seen, and ideally I would have the discipline only ever to trade when I was certain of a future course of events......of course what normally happens is that I go there with a certain trade in my mind, I do well on that and start to think that I am too smart, and then I start firing trades off from the hip all over the place and rapidly deplete my profits.

Bitfinex victims. DO NOT TOUCH THE BFX TOKEN! Start moving it around, or trading it, and you will be construed as having accepted it as an alternative means of payment to your USD, BTC, etc.

Folks,

Let's keep this thread real.  "Posting in real time" does not mean posting completed trades once they're complete.  That's too easy to be selectively biased about, i.e., only posting successful completed trades and omitting completed trades gone bad.

Rather, it means posting both the opening of the trade and the closing of the trade independently at different times. 

Obviously, the primary motivation is to show off.

But I think there's a better purpose here: to be honest with yourself, track your record in public, and learn from your mistakes.  It can only pay off long term.

I suggest some sort of common format.  Something like:

Open: Bought 1.4BTC @ $500

Or something similar.  I'm open to suggestions.

Sorry. It's just kind of hard to do that when I'm daytrading in high volume and tracking a bunch of charts at the same time. Maybe I should only post in here when I'm doing swing trading and not daytrading?
