I know there’s a lot of day traders in stocks, and I’ve heard some do it in crypto ( although most do it at a loss ) so I’m wondering if realistically you can do a profitable trade in crypto.
Let’s take a real example.
In this mini rally we’re having, I’ve noticed Illuvium is one of the few tokens that is in the red( less than 1% on the daily when this was posted )
1 ILV is $119 on my CEX… but the sell price is $116 and the buy price is $123
Doing a simple trade using USDC to buy one ILV token would cost me $10.40 in ETH Fees on EXODUS. If I was doing it from my CEX, it would probably be cheaper, but I’d end up paying just as much ( sometimes way more ) if I want to take my new ILV token and deposit it in a hardware wallet. So either way, even if I buy ILV and it makes me a 15% gain in less than 24 hours, I barely break even !
So how do I make a profit ? Do I need to buy 30 ILV to maximize my gains ? Or is there any other way ?
