STEEM Trading System (Dollar Cost Averaging Experiment) Days 39-42

Bitcoin has been bucking like a wild bull over the past week and this has had the expected inverse correlation with STEEM prices. The dollar value of 12 cents has been holding but the BTC value is dropping towards hard support levels.

We would really like to see some higher volumes enter the market in order for us to sustain some price action. As for now there is so little volume due to the interest in bigger, more exiting projects. Steem is still chugging along though slowly building the social media and blockchain gaming platform of the future.

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.

So for the past 6 days I have been unable to make a trade because I have already expended all of the reserve BTC. The price must rise back above the Moving Average which is sitting at 1685 Satoshis. The price is currently in the low 1500 range and aching for support. With low volumes like this the price easily experience slippage on bigger orders, I would not be surprised to see a break of the 1500 support levels again and a retest closer to the bottom price ranges. The all time low was 1365 Satoshis which was achieved only a few months back.

Current Holdings:

BTC: 0.00000000 (0 units)
STEEM: 838.89870190 (10 units)

Things are not looking so hot for Steem right now but we must continue forward and hope for the best. There has been little mention of the new roll outs but they are assuring us they will be out soon. Smart tokens will bring a little bit of attention to Steem but I highly doubt it will produce the drastic effects we want.

Overall the portfolio is still up over 3.5% (in USD) since the start, but down slightly in BTC value.
