Stupid question. Let's say BTC is at 8k and you are only investing 8k USD to play around with in day trading. You make profits, so on and so forth.

Now lets say you got into the day trading game when the price is 16k instead of 8k. So 1 BTC is 16k, and you're only investing 8k to day trade with, so now you can only buy .50 BTC instead of 1.

The question is, are you making more profit/loss in example 1 versus example 2?

>> No.15867521

>>15867475
profit/loss is measured in percent and depends on your ability to consitently make profitable trades, the market value of the asset traded is irrelevant.

you're right, this is a stupid question

No, as the other guy said it's only the % that matters. This confuses a surprising amount of shitcoiners I've talked to. They think having 1000 coins makes more money than having .1 bitcoin or whatever. But shitcoins make bigger gains because they're illiquid and can have greater % moves.

Cool punctuation. Try not being an obese neet one day.

Can't believe I'm actually answering this stupid question. No matter where the price is, you gonna make profits and your only objective is to stack sats before the global economic collapses.

That wasn't the question. You better save face and leave the thread like a good little beta rat.

money in bitcoin is in long term hold, not day trading. anyway you have to think in %. Today was a 6% pump. some stocks did better than that.

Yes..
Anyways, you're better off margin trading with a vpn. Bitmex is alright but bybit has lower fees though idk if bybit lets you take stuff out if youre found out. Bitmex does.

>> No.15867839

>>15867813
why you need vpn to margin trade?

No. Its percentage game. The price is uninportant.

Also google this «daytrading statistics from brazil show that only 3% are in profit after 300 days of trading and only make as much as a cashier.»

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what the fuck you're asking but all that matters is that you get a percent increase. The price you buy has no bearing over the roi.

If you buy 1btc at 8k and it goes up by 5%, that's a 5% increase of the 8k you invested.

If it is 16k and you bought 8k, if btc goes up 5%, you get a 5% increase on the 8k you invested.

Since u.s. people aren't allowed to margin trade except on kraken (only place u.s. citizens can margin trade normally) which only offers 5x and I'm interested in 10-25x.
