I bought an alt coin at 7830 sats and sold at 7949 sats. From 0.05 bought to sold at 0.06 and it says I only made $1 in Eth?? Shouldn’t it be 0.05 divided by $82 multiplied by 0.06 which = some $15-$16 in profit?? What am I missing??

What's the total amount of ETH you paid for the coins, vs how much total you got after you sold? Take the difference between those two and multiple by it by the price of Ethereum now and you get your profit. It's not that hard anon.

How do I calculate my day trades with math then so this never happens again? Because I thought it was $82(MY ETH VALUE) divides by price bought(0.05 cent or 7830 sats) multiplied by price sold (0.06 cent or 7949 sats) = 92$ total Eth value at the end?

>conflating satoshis, gwei AND dollars

holy shit you're fucking stupid. The only thing that you can hold constant is gaining or losing in the currency you purchased the shticoin with. What those gains are worth in dollars or any other currency is irrelevant because those market prices might also have moved in the time you executed that trade.

>> No.9470281

>>9470233
holy shit you absolute fucking brainet

If your currency is ETH, you only care about the price IN ETH of the shitcoin, and you only care about the sale PRICE IN ETH when you exit. The difference between those two PRICES IN ETH is your gain/loss IN ETH on the sale. If you want, you can then multiply that profit or loss IN ETH by whatever other currency you wish to convert it to.

You are a new trader.
My advice to you- forget, and I mean completely forget, the USD value.
You trade for ETH or BTC, not USD or USDT.
If you buy a coin you look at the sat value only.
So let's say a coin hoes from 100 sats to 200 sats.
You made 100 sats.
The USD is not important until you decide to cash out.
That's the 101 really.
Obviously USD value is important if it comes to BTC and ETH and to a lesser degree LTC and bch (maybe)
The rest of the altcoins- seriously forget the USD value.
Do math, like I just did.
Price sold - price bought= difference IN SATS between your orders.
Then you can compare the difference to the USD value.

If you want more fiat, trade coins with fucking fiat pairs you retard. How do you expect to make profit in fiat by trading ethereum? People trade shitcoins to increase their BTC or ETH stack, which they hold in the expectations of higher prices down the road. Dollars don't enter the equation unless you're directly trading in dollar pairs (BTC/USD, ETH/USD), or actually cashing out your ETH/BTC gains for dollars. It really isn't rocket science and if you're having this kind of trouble understanding how it all works you're really just going to end up giving all your money away to much smarter traders.

Then trade ETH/USDT or eth/btc or btc/USDT.
This isn't a market that will allow you get fiat out easily and every week.
You better off trying Robinhood and their penny stocks for that.
I mean you want to build up your ETH or BTC stack, right?
But no one is going to guarantee that their price is going to increase.
So no one can guarantee any kind of cash out weekly.
Plus 20k USD is very good compared to my learning stack....I entered with 2k.
But I forgot about USD as soon as I bought in and I'm in it for the long run and long time.
You could call swing traders ETH/btc holders really. Because the point of the game is increasing ETH/btc stacks.
Again though-> not USD.
The hope is that ETH and BTC stack will increase in USD later. Not that you can cash out $1k a week. This isn't a market for it.

Ok.
Here's the thing. To make $100 into 1k you need to swing trade eth/USDT or better yet eth/btc pair OR put it in a shitcoin that does x10, OR swing trade a shitcoin/ETH pair.
I don't know what you mean by
>> I don’t want to put that much capital into ETH or BTC
Do you mean you would rather swing trade shitcoin/ETH pair?
How experienced are you in trading in general?
What you would have to do is to increase your ETH to the point when it's worth 1k USD.
How much ETH do you currently have?
How much BTC?

>>9470959
So you have $83 in ETH.
ETH is low-ish.
You can wait for it to go up 10x(it's not going to happen) or you can wait for it to go to $850 and sell into tether.
The sat value stays the same, the fiat value goes up.
0.11875266x850= 100.939761
That can take a month.
Then you wait for the value to go down with your USDT. You buy at the very low. Rinse repeat.
Can you see the obvious dangers of doing this?
Another strategy is, you go all in(or 50/50) into 1 or 2 shitcoins.
You spend your .11 ETH and then wait for the shitcoins to increase in sats. Not less than 20% because your investement is so small.
You sell the shitcoins to ETH
And asses the condition of the ETH

Look a step by step here would be a book.
The bottom line is. You have 2 options:
Increase sats of ETH that you have through shitcoins.
Increase the value of your sats through ETH/USDT swing trading.
And it will take a l9ng time for you to reach $1k, unless you get lucky.
Now if we counting on luck then shitcoin strategy is better.
The shitcoins that you buy are not on Binance(you do not have enough capital for this) they are on IDEX or fork delta or a myriad of small exchanges and are literally worth 0.00000003 ETH
It's the only way to make it faster. But also the way to lose it all.

That depends on alts.
An example: how long did you spend to increase your stack by swing trading with XVG?
And how much did you earn?
If you have 0 trading experience it will be tough.
And it will take you at least 3-5months. If the market doesn't crash, if the shitcoins that you chose increase in the value etc.
Bottom line is-> if that's your learning money, start one of the strategies I told you about and see how much(percentage wise ) you can increase your stack.
Then go in with bigger money. Because, seriously, $100 is a very very small investement.
So instead of going to 1k, see how well you'll do by swintrading the shitcoins.
See how good you are in picking them and how good you are in calling bottoms and tops.
That's more important than making 1k out of 83 dollars.
Crypto is seriously a number game.
If I had more fiat to put in it I would.
But also I'm not rich.
So I doubled my money in a month when I entered, but because it was only $800 I got 1.6k (give or take).
If I put 20k then we would be talking big bucks. But on that 800 I learned that I'm good at picking shitcoins and calling the bottoms etc.
Then I added as much fiat as I could safely lose.
Doubled that.
I'm actually trading, like I advised you to do.
But it takes a long time when you are a poorfag. Lol
