Gains
This isn't my main trading strategy, but it is one that has worked very well for me.
I really like STEEM, because Steemit is where I learned the most about crypto, and I really like BTS as the Bitshares DEX is where I do all my trading.
Trade back and forth between two coins for small gains
Because I like both of these coins, there's very low risk in this trade. If either one spikes in value or drops against the other, I still win because I'm always holding a coin I want (because I want both of them).
Here's How I do it
On the Bitshares DEX (I usually use the OpenLedger gateway), I use Bitshares to place an order to buy STEEM. I am usually a "Market Maker" in that I place a buy order instead of taking someone else's sell order. If someone takes my buy order, then I get STEEM. I then place a sell order with that STEEM, pricing it so that I would get more Bitshares back than what I bought it for.
For example, I may buy 10 Bitshares worth of STEEM, then place a sell order on that STEEM for 11 Bitshares. If someone takes my sell order, I just made 1 Bitshare or 10%. That's a simplistic example and my actually numbers are usually different, but it works.
If for some reason, the price of Bitshares really rises against STEEM and I can't sell my STEEM back for more Bitshares than I bought it for... I can always transfer it to Steemit and Power Up. It's a Win-Win trading situation. I gain even if I lose the trade.
Feel free to use this strategy
I'd like to help more people get into trading on the Bitshares DEX. I think the most valuable information I've learned here on Steemit was finding out about Bitshares.
