I figured you just watch the prices go up and as soon as they slowed down or stopped going up you sold them.

This has each scheduled Pro Tour and the format for its qualifiers- you’ll notice that the date of the PTQ season is not provided. There is a link in the article to the 2011 PT Schedule Announcement, and it has the relevant information. Enjoy!

I for my part usually don’t buy tons of the same card but even with small scale trading such as “Rags to Riches” it became pretty clear to me that not everything can be a hit. Would be to easy then I guess.
Heath has a good point though. People often tend to “forget” their negative experience and remember the lucky hits.

I am very risk-averse, and if I can aim to hit my target of +100% every time, I am happy”

This is what a lot of my stock trading buddies do. They will brag about all their good trades while failing to mention their bad trades. Were the ones you did not mention profitable also?

I’ve been told about mtgmom.com, but it does not tell what format is going to be played at the tournament.

I didn’t list everything on that list :) I made great money on both actually!

Chris, I’m not sure what they’ll be at when you go to sell, but you also play rather than just trade (I don’t play at all!) I’d try to get an easy Double-Up on everything above a play-set, rather than get greedy.
