There is no any trading opportunity that guarantees 100% winning and as such, you should protect your capital by not investing more than 10% of your risks capital on a single trade. Professional traders have this at the back of their minds and that is why they account is always in green.

I only invest 2% of my whole BTC BR at first and then if the price drops 50% ( of what I bought ) then I will buy the same amount of coins again and sell when I get atleast 25% profit on whole.
For ex:
Buy 1000 units at 100 sats
Buy 1000 units if price drops to 50 sats
Average is 75 now and I will sell all 2000 units when the price reaches 85 .

You can go 100% for it if you feel comfortable. But my suggestion is not to go 100% on it. Right now, market is having a massive correction. Bitcoin and altcoins are falling deeper right now. Just wait for it to stabilized. They could fall even more deeper on the following days. So better be careful.

I only use 20% from my btc for my daily trade, 80% for long time period investment. I believe is not wise if invest all btc in trading, but if you use martangle strategy I'm not surprised. Trading can't use only feeling but must through trial and error, impossible to get higher without fall. I believe you know what to do with your money and I hope you'll find the answer with trying your strategy using just 10% from your btc. Have a nice day.

My first two years in bitcoin, I only accumulated, so I did not sell any.  I just kept a budget and kept buying on a periodic basis; therefore, I was 100% in.

Starting in October 2015, I began to trade.

here's my projected allocation BTC versus dollars in my trading fund depending on price.  

200-350   97-99.5%
350-450   96-99%
450-550   92-98%
550-650   90-96%
650-850   85-95%
 
850-1250           84-95%
1250-2000   83-92%
2000-3000   81-91%
3000-5000   60-88%
5000-10000   55-82%
10000-20000   48-78%
20000=30000   45-75%
30000-50000   43-73%



Currently, I am a tiny bit over-allocated in BTC, at about 92% BTC and 8% fiat.  I try to never run out of fiat or BTC... accordingly, i buy on the way down and sell on the way up.
 

Currently, I attempt to maintain my BTC/dollar allocations by selling 1% of my BTC holdings for every 10% rise in price and then proportionately buying back on dips.

It's good to make trade based on the volume of bitcoin one holds. It's good to diversify in the 25:75 ratio. Because the hard earning made through trading 25% of the bitcoin can be earned in future through holding of 75% of the bitcoin from the total volume available.

Since we are talking about investment, you must not disregard the possible loss while on the way and it applies to all kind of investment on real world and online. No matter how sure you are that bitcoin will reached it's unexpected high price, we must consider that we must have some spare funds in case of a price crash. So that while minimizing the loss still we have backup.

If you don't want to waste opportunity and want to buy bitcoins at more quantity, then make it to the point that you have other source/s of income so that you can go with the majority of your bitcoin without worrying that it might affect your real life financial status.

Better to use pyramid strategy, 25% small order to be installed at potential price, 25% at mid price and 50% below price as reserve when price down. That is if in one kind of coin.
Always set up Backups to avoid falling prices. BTC

it depends on a couple of things in my opinion.
- how much bitcoin do you have. is it small like 0.1BTC or is it big like 1000BTC? for small go all in! if it is big then depending on risk it can be different.

- how much risk you are taking. sometimes, like now it is a bit hard to speculate about the price. it can stay here and fluctuate between two prices or there can be some bad drama news again and w see some dips or it can start flying again.
but sometimes it is easy to predict. like when price was 2600-2700 it was obviously nearing the end of the rise and drop was a sure thing.
or when price went down to $900 after the $1200 ATH, buying was a no brainer.

- this was for bitcoin trading. if you are altcoin trading then things are different since it is a high risk market by nature. and what i do is that i go in with a small percentage most of them time. something like 30%

Yes right, trading does not guarantee 100% profit because it has a risk of fluctuation, the price can be down and fall at any time. I agree with you to protect the capital then use only a few. If I only use around 10-20 my capital, the rest I hold for other purposes. So less wise if you invest 100% bitcoin into the trade.

As you said it depends on the opportunity I think. For me, I always try to keep %25 of my money at bitcoin, I also daily trade and keep some money for long term investment to an altcoin. But if the investment opportunity is good and has big profit potential I can invest with all my money, even I can use my bitcoins.

[darthmaul]

I keep it liquid investment. That is whenever I want to trade I will put into trade platform via my bank and will not exaggerate the amount Im investing. I always think of my savings, my needs first and then the rest which I can spend on shit stuff I take into trade platform and grow it into something valuable. Its not in percentage but its int he form of which I don't really need to spend on monthly basis. That is very important to calculate because there is thing called as bankrupt which I don't want in my life.

100% is not a bad idea. try to buy some top 20 coins and hold it for a long period. Maybe 1 month and if you are a patient one, hold it for 1 year

Investing 100% on trading would bad idea. You could have buy the ETH and litecoin now and put it hold for some years first. Then start your bitcoin trading with the 60% of your fund and hold the balance for your backup. Start your trade with the proper escrow to avoid scamming and initiate you trade volume as price moves in the index.

[sujonali1819]

100% bitcoin investment is not a good idea.if you invest 100% of bitcoin then when price will decrease at 50% low of buying price.then there is no way against selling your coin because there is no have bitcoin in your account for recover your loss.so i think if you have huge amount of bitcoin you should invest atlest 20% or less.so that if you loss money you can recover again buying that coin.

[richardivan]

in my opinion you must put 50% from your whole btc as capital on trading, invest it on some coin then when you got some profit withdraw it as much as your first capital then you can trading with your profit. It will less your loss in trading

[xhienigat]

What I actually did is since I wanted to invest in trading is I converted my real money in btc then I put it all in trading, after I profited from trading. I withdrew all the capital I invested and just keep it in my wallet and just let the profit do the work.

[ASHLIUSZ]

in my opinion you must put 50% from your whole btc as capital on trading, invest it on some coin then when you got some profit withdraw it as much as your first capital then you can trading with your profit. It will less your loss in trading

That's a good plan to generate an capital amount for investment I to trading. But the real risk is that if we didn't get the desired profit or our prediction went in the opposite manner what can be done. So make a trial with small amount and increase the capital to increase the profitability so to invest into other altcoins trading.

For me not a good idea to invest them all if you really want to make both profit from trading in just saving your bitcoin you should 50% percent or i think 40% of your bitcoin is good into trading.. but if you are just newbie better to start first in small amount before you go in high invest so that you know how trading works. since many altcoin right now are increasing i think not a good idea to buy right now with altcoin but you must check the coinmarketcap and check the top 20 altcoin if what are the altcoin are already been drop so that you can buy it for low or cheap price and sell them soon after the price is increase and made you profit..

Their is no exact balance where i am going to trade on since I randomly putting some money on exchanger if i see some coins who are good to trade on and staking is just unnatural for me since im quitely a short trader person and yet earning good with this matter, But this quite days are i merely holding some little amounts of BTC since im also monitoring and speculating for bitcoins good growth and i would surely sell my hodl if i see some right oppurtunities to sell it.
