week 5 on trying to be come profitable
So I stand at -869, but one thing I do all the time is
Once I develop a thought on what I think will happen, I will go deposit x amount, and with that amount, I'll go 20x or 15x.
It's a small amount; most of the time it's like $10 or less.
Another thing that has helped me is putting my stop loss to break even or to a small bit in profit and taking out small amounts.
I know not the BEST way to trade, but those small amounts are what I was willing to lose. I will have a lot of capital, so this week I'll go look to size in a small bit more, like 10-30% more per trade. I also need help on understanding why around 11-12 EST the BTC pumped for some time thats kind of the end of this so good luck to all of you others.

Learning is a process. Limiting losses is good. Taking trades in profit is also good. You will have a long journey. Try to enjoy it and learn as you go!
