Bitcoin has had a little bit of volatility over the past day as it continues to trade in this $7K channel. Testing the lower $7,100 support levels has given the bears a little bit of push back and margin traders are probably sweating bullets right now. There is still so much up in the air as the uncertainty about BTC continues to stagnate the markets.

Trading strategy rules:

  1. Use approximately 10% of the starting reserves (in BTC) per day to BUY STEEM when the price is BELOW a set value. In this case that will be the moving average (center line) on the Bollinger Bands using 1-Day candles on the chart. Each 10% chunk will be considered a "unit".
  2. Sell ALL STEEM when the price is above the upper range of the Bollinger Bands (1-Day candles), or 10% per day when ABOVE the moving average (1 unit).
  3. After 5 consecutive days of buying, reduce buy quantity in half (5% or 1/2 unit).
  4. If price is within 10% of the ALL TIME LOW, and there is 50% (5 units) or less reserve BTC, then I am allowed to "go all-in".
  5. "Buy below, sell above" is the golden rule.

I was busy yesterday so was unable to make a trade until late at night, somehow I filled the order twice but at the same price so instead of buying 1/2 a unit it bought a whole unit. Not a big deal but I am running low on BTC reserves now as today was yet another buying day.

The Moving Average is at 1826 Satoshis and falling every day along with the price. We could very easily see another retest of the 1600 Sat range if there continues to be low volumes.
