HIVE Never Disappoints ;)
I have said multiple times previously, I'm a very bad trader. There are tons of suggestions and tips I try to read up on trading all over the internet...and see if there's anything I can implement. Most of the time, it all goes a few inches above my head.

But hey, I'm not _entirely_ stupid! So some of them sticks. One of the suggestion hit me hard on the forehead and stuck with me since. We all know who the suggestion was from and he says we talk about him too much xD xD

The piece of advice was, figure out your strategy...write it down and follow it religiously. 

I implemented this with DEC first. I observed the price action for a few days and decided on a buying price and selling price. But as my luck goes, the pattern went bananas once I decided to test my strategy. It took me quite a while to recover that, but I am a patient guy ;) So it was not a problem. I later managed to time my buy perfectly and am poised for profit.

Then I took this to HIVE and started observing the HIVE charts on Bittrex and Binance for quite some time.

Sure we're all not too happy about the low price of HIVE, but HIVE is great for trading. Transferring between wallets is instant and free. 

But most importantly it doesn't stay static in price. Now this, you might have a hard time accepting if you don't look at the charts on exchanges. If you just checked the price at a certain point in the last month or so, you'd see HIVE "static" between 12-12.2 or 12.3 cents....12.5-12.7 12.8 cents. But here's a chart from Bittrex. This is the last 10 days.

What are we looking at here? To the naked eye, the average price roughly hovered around 11.5-12 cents during the first half of the chart, and around 13.5 in the latter half. But this is hardly static.

When I observed more closely, there were regular sudden spikes, which was always followed by a dip of around 2 cents. This is a chart for the last 10 days, but if you go to Bittrex and zoom out, you'll see HIVE has been doing this for a long time now. I zoomed in for clarity.

2 cents doesn't sound like much. But if you are trading with even only 1000 hive, you make a profit of $20 per trade if you time the 2 cents right ;) So that right there was my strategy, my 2 cents!

But here's the catch, once you decide on your strategy, you have to stick to it, trust it. My 2 cents were at 15 and 13. I was playing around with 2000 HIVE. My initial 2 cents were 13 and 11 which HIVE hit perfectly. When I merrily went to check my bittrex account, I realized I _might_ have forgotten to click the "Place Sell Order" button. So missed that cycle of opportunity.

After that HIVE had a slight uptrend, so I was thinking of setting my 2 cents at 15 and 13. This was entirely based on gut feeling and while I was busy "thinking," hive went to 15 and returned to 13 cents, Twice!

![untitled.gif](https://media.tenor.com/images/634e61b9e17b68fef2d62365d1473838/tenor.gif)

Well, with  my theory consolidated I finally remembered to press the "Place Sell Order" button and voila! Yesterday it hit the sweet spot. But there's a saying at the BDC, when daktar sells, HIVE rises! And rise it did!

So after selling at 15, I placed my buy order at 13 cents and HIVE smoothly sailed far, far away towards the 16.5 mark! I went very close to pressing the panic button and buy back at 16 cents...but luckily I was watching a very disappointing football match and by the time it finished it was almost 4 a.m. I was too tired to log in to bittrex and buy HIVE. But guess what I saw when I woke up  and checked the price on tradingview! 

HIVE didn't disappoint! HIVE always goes down!

![untitled.gif](https://media.tenor.com/images/915cfb7e8bc1ff8064916dc94eb668fd/tenor.gif)

As I said I was trading with 2000 HIVE. And just like that while I was sleeping I made $40!

Well thought out doc! Since in trading there will be almost nothing new :)... there is a name for this strategy.

Scalping.

Google it :)

Be flexible. The zero commission is definitely an advantage which many other crypto doesn’t have. Well done. Keep at it.

Remember it’s all good.

And there is no wise old man! :)

I looked up scalping dada. There was a line :

> Scalping requires a trader to have a strict exit strategy because one large loss could eliminate the many small gains the trader worked to obtain

I'm a bit unsure what it exactly means. Is it saying to have an exit strategy after buying when the price is dropping hard....? Kind of like a stop loss?

Good question.

You assume and it is a good assumption that price is hive has a floor. That is 11 cents or 10 cents. Whatever the number is, but you assume that is a constant number. Correct ?

Let's say you bought your 2000 hive at 11 cents. And hive trades 10 cents, 9 cents, 5 cents... etc. what's then?

You will get nervous, and chances are you will sell at the bottom. One large loss will eat into lots of small profits. So yeah, you need a firm stop-loss.

That's what it means. Most other instruments doesn't have a floor. Even hive doesn't either. It's an assumption... a very good one. But still an assumption.

Remember; when you assume; you make a ass out of u-and-me :)

Very Nice! I've been playing Splinterlands so much that I would never have time to keep up with the market, looking at charts, etc. But I study economics and I find trading fascinating. Good luck!

Haha tell me about it! When I first started playing I got so hooked it's actually unbelievable. I had to actively try and stop playing the game to get work done LOL!

As a student of economics, trading is right down your alley! It can be extremely rewarding once you get the hang of it. I've known some excellent traders on the chain and that's what intrigued my interest in trading! Academically I'm far, far away from trading LOL!

Thanks for dropping by!

I always hear stories of Traders who went crazy, addicted to adrenaline and ended up losing everything, so I'm afraid, I'll start with caution.

This is a great technique as long as you hold a bag of hive which you don't sell, for the long term appreciation. Separate the hodl amount and the trading amount. 

With the trading stack of hive, even if it goes to the moon, you could then start trading the range $1.00 - $1.02, or even $1.00 - $1.05, as long as it consolidates.

Right, always have enough liquid I don't play around with!

You know, this is actually already possible with HBD, but the problem with HBD is there's no HBD/USD or USDT pair....so taking advantage of that becomes difficult. But HBD does the swings a LOT.

Every time I try this I panic buy much higher ....  So now I just power everything up and earn about $ 50/mo from Curation.

That's the good thing about this technique, as long as you buy back below your sell price you're already at profit. There’s no such thing as buying too high with hive but don't take my word for it Lol! I'm a bit biased towards hive!

$50/mo on curation is pretty sweet! I do have that in my plans...getting my curation game up!
