How to save on Coinbase |Pro| transaction fees - Transfer back and forth method.

 Even in the instances in which a new or novice trader is adept enough in managing transactions in day trading (quick and volatile types of trades) in Coinbase, or Coinbase Pro, there ought to be some respite from scaling in to all-out trading madness, which is sometimes inherent in doing such a thing as quick trading.

[At this point in time, a few weeks in to taking a dip in the cryptocurrency trading and investment thing], I encountered a simple little loophole that helps cut out the fees involved in converting from some transaction pairs in Coinbase Pro - as that the fiat currency pairs, which are purchased with USD, and the stablecoin markets, which are purchased (mostly) with USDC, feature familiar currency pairs, from having started out in Coinbase, as a trading platform, and therefore, we had the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the cryptocurrencies as enterprise and organizational foundries, with some purpose and meaning behind them. This sort of thing helps build affinities, attractions, loyalties, and it brings some folklore in to starting out on these developing platforms of investment and trading. 


As you can see, my more haphazard and impetuous trading self had built up a sizable amount of fees, for doing impulsive sellouts and buy-ins in volatile market conditions. In essence, these fees fees in to what could have been some profit, potentially, but I do appreciate the Coinbase platform itself, as it offers notable perks and features for the beginner, in it’s relative simplicity. 



The workaround for saving on transaction fees, here, which, since we’re not able to convert directly between USD and USDC, to trade on the different platforms - fiat and stablecoin, and we would otherwise have to buy in on BTC or ETH in an intermediary transaction to transfer investment funding in to the different markets - 



Is to simply withdraw the money from Coinbase Pro in to Coinbase, as either USD, or USDC, with the caveat of that there are one week and two week withdrawal limitations, in time basis involved requisite for allowing us to withdraw, in the first place (something like that… or does that apply to withdrawals to a bank? Maybe not just withdrawals to a bank, but perhaps also withdrawing from Coinbase Pro to Coinbase), such as I’m describing here. 

Withdrawing is simple enough.


The thing about it is, though, is that we can convert USDC to USD, and vice-versa, for free, on Coinbase, and we are not able to do it directly, and for free, on Coinbase Pro. It’ll save you some change, but the fees add up, especially in the heat of the moment, when trying to capitalize on market volatility, and in needing to dump sunken losses, for the time being. For when it’s “like that,” so to speak. Use the “sell” option, in Coinbase, for converting the USD in to USDC, or the other way around, buying USDC with USD. Then, transfer it back in to Coinbase Pro, to purchase a new currency pair trade.

Patterns and Signals Trading as the Modus a Pro Priare (as such that I hear it could ought be construed).

 And then, (in fact), priare is a word, from the Latin, [ostensibly so]. Here's what some scrum and fuzz from such an obscure context being queried shows up as, in both Yahoo search and Google, when I asked them to translate or define "priare." 

Butt shuttle, though, the first piece of the mystery-resolved, already - is how I felt, in ascribing a priare, in the first place - which is okay, since I'm just writing stuff out, and publishing it on my own channel, and of that it's not simple flutz-bwopp-slade, of organic usage - it simply happened to be: [oh, well, you'll see. Just look at the search results, here.

Well, nevermind, about the first thing claim. I'm out and about, in Downtown Los Angeles, (California, USA), and it's late, and this is how the images uploaded (in order):




But, as you'd see, here, in this third image, an author on Scribd had priare covered, in it's ostensible Latin epistemology and original usage, with traditions bearing down upon Catholic religious culture and Classical Latin, as the usage and affect of the word implies. 

As such, I intend to fluff an article pertaining to signals trading, in forex, whereas it's sometimes a fluff-job, yet in some cases, rigidly wrought-out patterns and tough-guy stands-in-opposition to a new guy's fluff, whereas I'm the new guy, here, in the forex world, and I hope that I splotch a bwamm bwopp splotch-made, of on bwamm - the distasteful photograph of on bwamm splotch, which I'll refrain from referencing; yet only « perhaps, as for now [<_< ]... » - since there is some bwamm-aff bwopp mode in the local porta-potties - who would cast their eyes away, of on "this" node development, simply perusal, for reference, and or annotation to the subject at hand. I get around, and I get the images of having been there bwopp is, and it gets « coverage! » of on "just because." 

I'll update, soon.

After frenetically trading in forex, earlier in the day, I settled down and settled on some longer-term positions I could be comfortable with.

 As it turns out, and as I'd probably known, all along, it suits an inexperienced trader to attempt to seek simple and short-term gains in forex trading. The spectre of procuring losses in money is wrought out in some sort of digital platform such as the user interface of the global foreign currency exchange apps that are available.

However, with some perseverance, and after frustrations over what became inevitable losses, given many various sorts of attempts, I came to understand that switching and selling out on positions would not be a fruitful method to follow and pursue, as a trading strategy. 

As it turns out, one of my formerly profitable methodologies that precluded "sleeping on it," as the successful strategy, ended up becoming the long-sought remedy for my trading woes, of these past [recent days] attempts in shoeing in, as a successful trader. Although I hadn't gained back all of my investment, it's a significant improvement over former strategies that I'd employed.

Some anecdotal folklore and conjecture in regards to some positions I took on my OANDA fxTrade accounts this morning.

 This morning was a neck-crackin’ morning for me. Thankfully, I could crack my neck, thanks to the ionic and humic | fulvic mineral supplementation regimen that I’d been taking. 

On this instance, I was playing around on forex on my apps on my iPad Pro and my Google Pixel 4a 5G devices. Last time I delved in to investing, it was on a real money account, and I ended up losing $15, out of an initial investment of $100. This time, I started out with a practice account, which allowed me $100,000 practice money, and I just now depleted it to around $94,800 or so. Then I got an unemployment insurance and pandemic unemployment award payment in, so I put in $250 in to an actual USD account again, and I went shopping on Amazon. 



The other day, I got a kettlebell, amongst other things, at Target. I wanted it for strength development and for specialty postural and gestural movement exercises, for my public relations stuff, (so I look good, when I go out), and I felt that it would be one more cog in the wheel of a better overall wellness and sustainable me. As it turns out, the kettlebell postures enabled, with even a single weight, are very conducive to helping the joints and spine crack. (One weight is recommended, for starters. Two is unnecessary). 


Anyways, that’s the backdrop, leading up to this morning. I could use some alternative activities in my days, so I chose strength training and charity gloves sewing, as my projects. I figure that people can appreciate a nice and timely pair of gloves. I chose acrylic as the fabric, and a $200 sewing machine that has 200 stitching patterns, or something like that. 

Then, with the forex trading stuff developing as one of my other alternative activities, I encountered a well-occupied world, in and of itself, with traders and theorists on the subject much more authoritative on the subject, compared to myself, and my experience. I felt like it was a serendipitous place to have stepped in to, and there was a well-heeled peanut gallery, as well, jeering me on, and feeding me misinformation, for my amateur and speculative entry back in to the world of online foreign currency exchanges. 

There was much to do, about these trades, and my positions on them. On one hand, I had covered, in my previous blog, my possible and potential basis for my trading positions buy-ins and sell-outs, per se, that I might be doing. On another hand, there’s people reading and summoning up my “thoughts,” as it were, and those individuals are highly knowledgeable. Then there’s my parents, and some celebrity cameos seemed to pop in, over the course of the other night, as well as this morning, and I’m sure I just didn’t quite realize who some of the speaker and commentary  figures were, though they would ostensibly be popular, as well, within their own rights, amongst the news media-watching crowds. 

Which brings one of the issues at topic up, for discussion: that being that I don’t watch news media; I just watch porn. (A dog barks, in the background.’’ <_<). I called it hibachi, one time, and it stuck. The context of relevance, at hand, here, though, was that I was speculating on my practice account, and the USD / JPY currency pair was going down, hard. Maybe even at this point, I’m misunderstanding the implications at hand. I’m largely trading by semiotics, and of something that may have been known as classical analytical technique, in trading nomenclature (something like that). You know, like the books that would have been written on the subject (for people who would have read the books, or the articles; and I did, just a bit, though). They were written, I’m sure, and I did read them, but just a bit. 

Anyhow, the international currency exchange experts, economists, theorists, peanut gallery, public figures, my parents, my peers, etc., as audience, were well engaged upon the spectacle supposed of, on myself, as well as others, that some of us would take interest in forex trading, for having the article written out, about it (which I wrote and publicized, on Twitter; it got more than average readership, over the course of a few days, or so). The issue of hibachi, standing as a cultural sleight, on my part, was brought up as of issue, of that I would attempt to analyze trading and market trends and buy and sell to my advantage, given my own personal expertise; yay, in this case, I’d have to admit that I don’t read much news about the Japanese, although I’m sure that they’re quite proficient and relevant in microchip and circuit board development and production, and they play a significant role in the tech industry, at large. 

Anyhow, cultural sleights, jeers, misinformation, and some good advice, and all, and it makes for a quite engaging and dramatic outlay of a sleepless early morning, where we were playing the global foreign currency exchange markets (perhaps), as an adjunct hobby, or “looking in to it,” as a profession, or something. I was playing the learning game. Learning by doing, practicing via what I know about cultures and currency, time zones, perhaps, and my own stake in things, be they that they are, as such. I’m not the most educated, but I did have a winning stake, in forex trading, of perhaps a lucky streak, or “something,” … it was money, after all, in my practice account. I’m not quite sure what I did, or saw hat it was, per se, but it was definitely a win, after I had slept on it. 

Anyhow, now, it’s being stated (it had, that it had been stated, as such) that I am currently playing the “extents” role, in streak gains and losses roles between currency pairs, for playing the day trader role. On one hand, I’m not being too adventurous, and on another hand, I have a particular certain cultural background, and perhaps an affinity towards working with certain currency pairs, for their international culture and economy, each unto their own, that I am familiar, more or less, with. Part of it is that I’m not all that familiar with things, and I’m accepting, or “taking in” conjecture, as “whatever…” I hear it. They know they can reach me, and it’s a big “they” versus my camp. 

The great thing about this amateur cottage industry economy gig job (of forex trading) is that we can take it anywhere, and who knows just how much our “otherwise” online identities play in to these things? I’m a content publisher, with some outreach in to advertising agencies and companies that advertise with Google AdSense, and I have (potentially) all sorts of “extents” in to intelligence, and commodities, of ad marketing potential and user identity “stuff,” that just might make a difference, and for my readership, potentially, as well. I’ve noticed those sorts of things. 

Anyways, the deb1cle became about how I was upholding my standard and stake in the trading world, with”hibachi” being common and known, about me, and how I might make reparations for that sort of sleight, while perusing the various currency pairs, some of whom I’d not known very much about, save for “sleights,” somewhat, it was supposed at one point, that people would commonly have, of themselves, for being consumers of this media frenzy pop culture “thing,” that we live in | through, being Los Angeles people, largely (of my peers and such and such… I’m beginning to lose track of who’s who. But I’m definitely me, though, and my parents did raise me. They didn’t raise others who happen to “still” seem offensive to me, and towards my family, as former peers [it’s an ongoing and known issue]), …

I don’t know. I dunno… maybe… well, nevermind. Was it you? Or was it me? Or something like that. I’m going to go and do stuff on my devices, now.

How to Actively Leverage your Money and Investments using the International Currency Exchange (Forex).

Having some extra money, as a windfall of this stimulus economy, here in America, suits a conservative financial outlook for us, as beneficiaries of the stimulus packages which have been made available to us, of which our primary budgeting aspirations and material needs have been met, despite some hardships incurred, in the interim.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has seen significant fallout, with major and upstart news media up in arms, as we attempt to grasp the totality and extents of this global disaster. Now that vaccinations are largely underway, there is a sign of a light at the end of the tunnel; one which will see us through to the new normal, in society, whereas much has shifted, it seems, as far as political milestones have been met, after some upheavals and dramatics, of the foray of things, as they were. 

Many of us had fallen to some of our most financially destitute lows, with employment prospects, although viably within visibility, for the sake of local and online communities such as craigslist, which I hold as one of my standing favorites, as a go-to, for gig work, of the technical and creative job industries, as well as for quick sales or purchases of extraneous electronics and tech devices, of which a person can make a quick cash or electronic funds transfer sale, while closing the sale within hours of posting an ad, all within the local community at large; here, within the craigslist context, the site is arranged by counties, of the states in which we reside. 

As such that craigslist is an online community, of the purpose of trading hard goods, procuring services, listing housing want ads, or offerings, etc., each transaction is ostensibly said and done, once the agreement has been met, and the transaction completed. The limitations of economy, as per se, that a transaction « can » be completed, are set forth in simple terms - a person either does or does not succeed in engaging in commerce, service, or trade, as a buyer, seller, worker, or employer, and the viability of the commerce, at the point of staging the transaction, is something that is leveraged upon the durability of the slight contract, at hand: a sale of an Apple product, which is perhaps the most popular sort of "computers and tech" or "electronics" section, and particularly if the item is sold for below fair and reasonable market price, is sure to attract quick commerce and exchange. Gigs posted in the various sections of the site will attract easily 10 candidates, with a posting cost of $5.00, I believe. As far as jobs and housing, I haven't personally posted in these sections in craigslist, so I won't speculate on the successes or metrics involved in engaging with customers or consumers, in those facets of the website. 

The point is, is that there's a limitation to the extents of commerce possible in dealing with and in developing any sort of ongoing cottage industry, which, (although), would be a quite lucrative and exciting self-employment job commodity to land and stage production and work execution deployments of small scale. All of this is possible, on a local classifieds listing site basis such that is seen on craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. A more entrepreneurially marketable mid-to-long term investment of skill sets and dedication to a cause, along these measures, would suppose that a dedicated e-commerce brand be established and purpose-led products and services be offered on a social entrepreneurship site, such as Etsy, or social media marketing slant of account basis in a site such as Instagram or Pinterest. The world of small business and startup marketing is a vast pitch, out to the ocean of the internet, at large, or social media, as it were, as for a more targeted approach. Here, on iPigeon.institute, for example, I have a brand that's stood, in establishment, on the web, going on since April of 2018, nearly three complete years, at this point. I've got a steady readership, yet distribution is largely contingent upon advertising the site's content publications on other social media sites, such as Twitter (with content publishing monetization through Google's AdSense, as the financial basis, at this point). Selling products is a tough sell, with readership loyalty and fan basis largely unknown, and not ventured much, as far as my expertise; although the tools do exist, with Google's Marketing Platform. 

All of this aside,

At times, I delve in to the world of day trading and international currency markets (forex) trading. I won't get in to stock trading, here; I'm a sort of trader that delves in to the inferential (or actual, geo-political) semiotics involved in forex trading, with minimal debriefing on the topic (a close friend, and mentor of mine took me to a seminar on forex, where a $4,000 software platform and $100 monthly feed fee was being offered, as an open-ended investment opportunity. [Incedentally, I'd met this friend and mentor through craigslist, and I devoted some years of services to, over a decade or so, ago. The social class strata inherent in a craigslist transaction could suppose, and enact great leveraged in opportunities in life; think local, dedicate the time and services one has to offer, and play the gig job economy game, for its expansive extents in social currency afforded to the gig jobber « would be ». For a skilled young professional, the opportunities in self-marketing are scalable and compartmentalized, to suit one's specialty]). 

In any case, as for the short story, the practice version of the forex marketer's software platform offer allowed a user to test out the package by investing in the $100 a month feed fee, with a practice account of $5,000. Within the first week, I had secured an overnight investment with this practice account that had netted me $35,000 (I believe)... something along those lines. The margin basis of investment leverage in foreign exchange currency markets is vast. The extents to which the money is leveraged is dependent upon various global market conditions, of which I'm not quite adept in, well enough to enumerate analytical theory upon, at this point. I simply use semiotics and casual inferential know-how and applied readership, of the blogosphere, of my own varying sort - of which « sort » of trading style I can expound upon, for anything's sake (contextually). 

In forex trading, I'd say that there are perhaps 3 major fundamental sorts of trading theory upon which one could establish a day trader's suit, about. The first would be that one is knowledgeable as for the ins and outs, and goings-on, of the international global currency markets, and international economies, which plays upon the notion of that the currency and day trading commodities, of a nation play out according [largely] to the time zone and standard work day constituent to the place on earth, where the nation resides, as well as that the political, social, and economic news foundry and "day's work" basis of the nation's economy are invested upon the standard work day. Since this (forex trading) concerns trading the nation's currency against a single currency, as a "currency pair," per se, the time zones invested upon any given currency pair may (theoretically) be more viably fruitful to engage in trades, thereupon, or speculation of valuation extentd (volatility), based upon analytics dependent upon the time of day that the nation's markets open, political news, and economic news that may be of insight, in to the inherent and global market's valuation and potential for the nation's currency, placed against another nation's currency, as "pair." These sorts of investments can run from anywhere such as minutes or less, to weeks and months, or years, even, for more conservative investors who invest based on emerging and developing political and economic news of a nation. 

The second sort of trading style and theory I have, at mind, is a semiotics and signals sort of trading analysis, of the development of trends, based on chart information. Let it be known; this professional seminar I had attended, perhaps 12 years ago, or so, was groundbreaking information to me, by all means - the forex market itself was an unknown to me, and software development had not reached the extent of popularity and expanse of means, in development and competitive economy, such that is afforded today, with apps being developed and deployed, of all sorts, reaching consumers. In this case, as far as forex is concerned, much time in software development had passed, and competition has led software development establishments to offer such things as free forex feeds, in free apps, for example. I'm using OANDA, which is available on the App Store, and on Google Play. It offers users dozens of currency pairs to trade upon, with a 24/7 feed for each pair, news feed, and open-ended investment basis. I opened an account with $100, to start with. I'm using simple signs, and simple-basis "trending" sorts of analytics, such as the previous highs or lows, of the time of day, and with forecasting insights, based on casual news media astute readership upkeep, or for casual political affinities and insights, I cast an investment. For example, here, in this chart, showing the EUR/USD currency pair, I might cast an investment, based on the day-to-day highs and lows, of a buy-in basis of that the currency pair would gain or lose money, perhaps reliably, simply for the fact of that prior day's trends and establishments of valuation had predicated that the currency pair has an ongoing trend, of some viable: static, or dynamic - story behind it, perhaps; in addition to any number of valuation variability attributes upon the currency pair.


 The more informed and concurrency-based the investment insight is, the more viable the percentages are, in investing here; in this case, the volatility plays largely in to assuming future valuations, based on prior trends and establishments, as far as buying and selling, within this short-to-mid-term investment basis is concerned - anywhere from 15-30 minute trades, hours, or days forecast, as for procuring worth upon valuation is concerned. 

The third sort of trading: at this point, I'm forgetful, to be honest. Perhaps I'll come back and update this article. 

The greater the pips involved, in the purchase (or sale, as it were, perhaps) inherent within each momentary offer of a price for a currency pair - a trader can invest money on the gain, or the loss, of value, for one side of any currency pair, in a purchase. The feed is free, although "don't forget the worth of our cookies," as people who follow my social media and blogging would perhaps casually attest to: the worth of each one of us, in our interrent internet identities, as it were, and should it be the case, is at hand, and also at stake, with this global trading platform being offered as a free service. Here, I run an intelligence content publishing basis platform, so I infer that I'm obligated to throw in an introductory article, for the purpose, and develop upon this basis, over time, with gains in intelligence, and onboarding of an ethical, objective, and informative basis for interested new users of the platform of which I'm publicizing and using, on my own. 

Now get OANDA on to your device, and start trading! One thing - you wouldn't stand, off hand, to lose much money, and we learn as we go. I'll update, to come, with more sound and viable actual theory and analytical practices, as well as invested nomenclature and slights at expertise upon the topic of forex trading.
