Hey thanks. Yeah, just the way it goes - some trades are good, others not so good - that's the job really. I'm looking at the current downtrend with some relish though, just in the sense that if you can buy at the bottom of a deep spike down, it's one of best opportunities to make some money (even if my 'hold' portfolio keeps dropping in value).
As for SAN, ah - I remember, I did look it up. I did see they mentioned using the poloniex troll box iirc but unfortunately that's no longer around at present. But I guess there are other metrics they can use. Might look into it, when the market downturn bottoms out. I am definitely not buying anything more though from now on (even steem ;) ) until I think the correction is over!! I'm looking for ETH somewhere between 120 and 150, and BTC between 1500 and 1700. These are just guesses on my part though, and not trading advice either of course.
As for my 'trapped steem', Im optimistic poloniex will be able to 'free it' for me at sometime in the future ;). Otherwise I'll just have to give up like last time and re-buy on bittrex (annoying!)
Anyway, I hope you have good fortune with your continued investing (if not trading)! :D
Thanks, you too :)
