If bullish - go long, if bearish - go short. If sideways and uneventful - add leverage to take advantage of small but near certain price movements. Manage risk with stop-loss orders, OCO orders, and a diversified portfolio of the top performing assets.  Most exchanges don’t offer all of these possibilities simultaneously. For instance, Bitmex has 100x & shorting but only on BTC. The only place you can access 100x on all top 5 cryptos to diversify risk is PrimeXBT.  Waiting for bull runs is fine if you’re only a part-time trader, but if you day-trade successfully these strategies are essential.
