Seems discouraging at times. I've simplified my strategy so as I am now only trading Steem and BTC with an eye to increase my holdings in both. But, if I do get caught in a trade where I lose BTC, I just use the extra Steem to further Power Up my Steemit account. That way, even when I lose I can work it out into a win. I'm still learning many of the finer points in trading. I love doing it, but until I learn how to do it more professionally, I take the more conservative approach. :-)
