Still a solid play. It looks like the recent uptick on Hive was driven by some aggressive buyers, unless you are swimming in that pool, it's hard to forecast a swing up of that magnitude. Particularly in that it was moving against the rest of the market. 

Unfortunately, it seems like all of these pumps happen when I am asleep, so I always miss them.  I guess that is just even more reason why I need to just wait and not try to time the market.

You are trading Hive back into a USD stable like USDC or HBD to take these profits?

These last few months, when I want to lock in gains from Hive or SPS, I've been taking those profits directly into swap.BTC. It is my rainy day fund... what Aftersound likes to call his "ice cream money." At least I have finally made a commitment to save just a little bit of scraps instead of reinvesting every last cent into more cards and other game assets.

This morning I saw Hive price and rushed to change my ~770 Hive to HBD. I got a around 250 HBD(?) from it. Put 200 in savings and kept the rest. Now I just hope that tomorrow price will be nice as well...

I don't remember the last time the Hive price  was jumping so much. Today I saw that it was above 0.400(?) and later close to 0.300. Now it is 0.362 again...

I am doing a little trade too, but not so much, only around 100 hive enought to get 10 or 20 hives per trade it is not much but all helps.

I’ve been trying to find good APIs so that I can automate some buying, converting, and selling but I’m nervous without good documentation because there could be some extremely expensive mistakes 🤭

That said, I still think hive is worth $1 or more so I’m hopeful as it goes up in value more community comes back

My usual thinking with my trades is buy/sell when happy. If I'm setting an order, I set it to a price I will be happy with. I wasn't able to get the top as well, but I did sell a few. I hope I can do better in the next spike.

When it comes to trading, I personally feel it's almost impossible to time the best entry and exit prices. So as long as it's a profit and the buy and sell points are not too far off, I would give myself a pat on the back. Hehe!

Funny thing I traded HIVE with a much smaller amounts, but also profitably and also missing out on the upside and in my case buying back into HBD too early also. I am happy that the result so far has been positive and I am going to switch back from HBD to HIVE if it drops significantly again.

> because normally, I would have bought, then it would have dipped for the next six months to four years, as I hold all the way down

You too? 😁

As long as you're increasing your stack with the same money, you're winning, no?

You don't go broke taking a profit :-)

It is not possible to make perfect purchases and sales in financial markets. We need to forget the right/wrong transactions made in the past and focus on the future. There is always an opportunity. An opportunity may be presented right now.

Good deal. I also wrote a post about my deal today, I hope I will also make money. 
Would you like to put your profits in HBD into staking at 15%?

Just opened the binance market overview and saw %44 spike, wow! My plan was broken, I should have bought at $0.23!
