Hourly traders should still be short and sitting on a 26% unrealized profit.
lol It should have been bulls vs bears, but then the turtles came and ate the playground. Om nom nom. Not that I actually joined the turtles. I'm a spider, or maybe a chameleon. I'm not mad though, it's totally fun to watch turtles eating sheep.

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.

having made about 30% on a single move & that at 2.5:1 or 5:1 = 75% or 150% then rather than being a pig headed slave to any system I take the chips off the table or at least in the 5:1 scenario I pocket my original stake & play high or low maybe at even greater leverage with what is now free money

indeed, in life too, every time I've been up 100% or more, especially if it's over a short time period, or made a substantial amount of money from a large investment moving even a relatively small amount in my favor and I didn't cash it out & take a breather then I've always regretted it & sometimes by letting it ride or doubling it up have blown the lot & more, it took many hard lessons to train myself that 100% or a good pay off is sweet & more though tempting is usually just greedy foolishness

yep hourly, it's on the cusp atm, neck & neck That is a rather predictable effect of a bunch o' traders adopting this strategy... Yep.. they called me crazy when I said that before, but I've seen it several times since and I'm convinced.

This trade is unusually successful - according to my chart (Bitcoin Charts), you should still be short and sitting on an unrealized profit of around 20%.
Regardless, stay disciplined and wait for the crossover before exiting.

The hourly short trade should now be closed for a profit of around 20% x leverage employed.
You should now be long.

I wonder what the backtesting would show if the opposite decision making was done: When the EMA10 crosses over the EMA21, sell. When the EMA21 crosses under the EMA10, buy.

You would have been holding from $17, down to $2, and then sold. Even on the hourly data set? Backtesting using the large spike during the summer is pointless. You could randomly flip a coin to decide to buy or sell and would have won.

You could randomly flip a coin to decide to buy or sell and would have won. Absolutely! That is why I said $17 after the high. The fast EMA was below the slow EMA 90% of the time during the summer burst. Sure, there would have been a few opportunities, but I think the losses would have far outweighed any profits you would have seen. Think about false cross-overs! This is the daily (since I can't set it for hourly that far back). But, you can still see that you would have been holding a lot, and very little profit taking You would have been short for the rise from $.50 to $32. You would have also been long from the middle of August through the end of October.
