Things have been hectic over the last three days so apologies for the lack of reports from the front!
I made four trades on Tuesday, two in Bitcoin, one in Polkadot and one in Etherium for a total gain of $158.
On Wednesday I only had time to make one trade, which was in Bitcoin and earned me $68.
Honestly, the details of those trades are already rather hazy!
Yesterday I made two trades, one in Etherium and the other in Bitcoin. Actually, I thought my day was done when Etherium came home nice and smoothly hitting the $100 “Take Profit”. I was going to bed… but I picked up a nice little tip that Bitcoin was beginning to pump and went for a $500 x 30 leveraged long shot with “Auto Invest” set to “ON” and “Take Profit”set at $150.
Then before I had even got around to hopping under the bed covers, a cheerful message popped up letting me know that the trade had closed out $151 to the good!
I can think of more difficult ways to make $251 in an evening!
Five more days of the challenge to go! I’m beginning to wonder if I could achieve a 10% gain over the month… Shhh!
My January 2021 “profit” has grown to $4,796 so far!
Come along for the ride as I try to learn how to trade my way to a profit and keep hold of the loot! Only 5 more days to go – the challenge ends on Candlemas.
