Is there any recommended amount or percentage of each coin you should hold?

[beerlover]

It is necessary to budget wise your coins.. I don't consider recommended or  percentage amount to hold.. depends totally on how you balance handling the coins, just make sure you are satisfied the value before selling it

Yes, the percentage of any coin you are holding totally depends on you and the potential of that coin for making great returns. If it is bitcoin, you should hold much higher percentage of it compared to other coins in our wallet. Among altcoins, waves and neo deserves good place in wallets.

Who exactly would make such a recommendation and why would anyone listen to it? Obviously if I'm recommending an altcoin it's because I own some of it and want the price to go up. Make your own decisions.

Right, the amount of coins that will be hold totally depends on the owner of the coins. Why such asked an obvious question anyway? Things like this should be personally decided by the owner and not be recommended or should not be asked for recommendation from total strangers. It definitely depends on the owner whether to hold all or just a part of his coins.

Currently the most I hold is Bitcoin and a little OMG and ETH but trader wise, is there a recommended percentage?

My current holdings are:
BTC 60.75%
OMG 33.74%
ETH 5.51%

My holding are :
BTC = 70%
ALTCOINS = 30%

Sometimes i used BTC as to buy alts when there is some good alts on the market and has the potential to grow in value. I don't usually trade BTC but it still depends on the price, in BTC im a long time holder, in eth I'M doing a short trade and same goes for some alts nut some alts are really good to play with. There's nothing wrong to hold the main coins, the only disadvantages is that the main coins might go down and you might lose everything but if it goes up like ETH this year you will be a instant millionaire. It is always better to diversify it in a way that it will balance the price and you will not lose your profit at red time, it will be hard at first or the second when trading but you'll get by and learn from it. Remember the Famous line " Just buy what you can afford to lose ".

My hold are 50:50 BTC and Alts.

As I'm mainly trading BTC-ALT pairs, My goal at the start of the day is to have it 50:50 and then in the end to clear the profit in BTC.

Looks like you are holding the coins in just right proportion. But I would like to give you advice about it. You should add more coins and split your bitcoin and OMG investment little bit into them. This will minimise your risk by adopting your investment into different coins. If you put something in single place then it has got higher chances of threat, loss etc. If you divide it equally or with a ratio then risk gets divided and chances of earning profits increase as well. If you would like to follow then you can try Nvo coin, social coin as additional back up.

really good strategy and most of the people are doing this for the sake of huge profit but right now i think eth has much more potential than btc right now.
i have only few numbers of bitcoin and a huge number of eth and also have some of the chinese coins like "bytom" and "adex" and i am also looking forward to "IOTA" as well.
i believe it is a really good project and really good team of developers is behind it and i really believe that it will rise like hell in the future. i have saved some for long run

There is no recommended amount or percentage to keep, it is up to you to decide how much you’re willing to invest in bitcoin. Lets say someone tells you he invests 10% of money in bitcoin and maybe the 10% is 10%=1500, and your own full money 100% = 2000, you see your 10% can’t be up to his 10%. So its up to you to decide whats best

Yeah because people have different finacial situations for their savigs. If you're earning quite a big amount, then i'd say 90% of my btcs would go untouched until the time i see it fit to sell. If there are situations when i have to sell and my income isn't that high, i'd sell perhaps 30-40%. So it depends really on your current situation

[Ponylon]

whatever you feel comfortable really

BTC being the most "safe" and stable coin in comparison to the rest, the more BTC you have the more risk averse you are

So if you like taking risks, reduce your BTC and buy more Altcoins

If you aren't the risky type, increase your BTC holdings

60% BTC is quite conservative in my opinon

Its better to invest mostly on bitcoin since it the most safest of all the crypto but you can try and invest some on other crypto which are mostly new with a fast ICO that happened since they are most likely to increase price in a short span of time. But then again, better to keep most of your investment on bitcoin so that you wont miss any sudden price spike on it.

[uraharasan]

there are two types of traders, the first is he keeps 50% Bitcoin and the remaining 50% he traded altcoin, the other type is he 100% keep altcoin be it just one coin or consist of various variations of coins.

 You are right but based from long time traders we should hold half of the total coins because it is possible for that coin's market price to get higher. I haven't tried that but I am willing too. I have trade but I did not hold altcoins. I only hold bitcoin because I believe that it will be more variable in the future and of course I want to have bitcoin at that time to enjoy the fruit of my hardwork.

Their is no basics of how much to hold , it is upto the users who wanted to take risk how much they can. If you invest most of your investment in other altcoins then it is upto you that which coin you are going to keep and what will be the risk.

My holdings are only altcoins which are having good long term prospects and what ever i am earning in bitcoins most of them i convert them to fiat currency to fulfill my needs

If that's the case, then I will recommend being the first type. Altcoins don't have the potential to produce large profits in short time whereas bitcoins are very fast in this matter. No matter what coin you trade in, it is best to spend some of profits on bitcoins and increase the number.

I think you should keep on holding a reasonable amount of your Bitcoins so that you may get a good profit in the end. Spending of the Bitcoins for the sake of anything will never be a suitable idea. You need to make your each and every step very much carefully so that you can earn a good amount.

The more holding of btc, much better. But still have also some alts. Alts that are good in value and still have potential for increase in the future. Though having btc alone is enough yet there are really potential alts out in exchanges that are really attractive.

if you're expecting big profits from trading, holding too much btc is not that better, you can't get more than 100% profit within a month or less, bitcoin price is just too high for that and will never happen anymore once bitcoin reached new ATH.
it's better to keep your portfolio on altcoins that's newly created but have really good potential, just my opinion.

[xuan87]

There are no exact percentage because it is all up to you, how much you want to make profit and how long you want to keep your investment, for a long term I suggest 75% of Bitcoin and 20% of eth and other 5% could be litecoin or ripple or BitcoinCash, but if you want a short term I suggest 50% of Bitcoin 20% of eth and the rest of the percentage is the mixing of the alt coin, it can be ripple, litecoin, OMG, nxt, nem depend on the market trend

Everything depends on the stability of the coin, since bitcoin is now very stable, even with the risks it should have the highest percentage. For other coins, you should look in what position they are in the current time, rise or fall. And already from this to make their own assumptions. As for me, you have wasted ETH so much and put a lot of OMG, well, it's your scheme.

Not bad for a newbie like you that holding coins about the percentage of it. It's quite good that bitcoin is your priority holdings of your coins. I think Eth must be your secondary priority and then Waves..
