the title says it all, i wanted to learn some advice from you guys, how you guys actually manage trading if you already had with that such amounts or more

definitely not. going all-in on any altcoin is mismanaging risk. it's "putting all your eggs in one basket" so to speak, in the context of high risk and highly speculative assets. so the smartest thing to do is spread around that risk and diversify. i'd rather put 0.1 BTC into 10 different coins (or maybe into 5 coins, with amounts weighted based on my view of their fundamentals and speculative value).

as it is, i'm actively invested in about a dozen coins, most of them for the long term (> one year, due to capital gains taxes).

I don't quite understand what you are getting at, but what you should do is not spend your Bitcoin but instead save it for when it will be worth $1,000,000. Smiley
That's true , optimistics is a must but don't forget about the plan B .
There's no harm to split it like 70% for bitcoin and tge rest for altcoin , incase the altcoin could make a surprise on bitcoin.
For example ethereum that rumoured everytime it could replace bitcoin position as the biggest cryptocurrency , why not it could happened right?

yeah putting all the eggs in the one basket is something very foolish thing in the term of trading and business. i think there are many altcoin right now which have enough potential that they can surprise you anytime. etherium has very much potential and you will see its result in 2 to 3year. i think we all will see that how its price will go to moon in the future.

for me its better to invest it on five different coins for you to minimize the risk on loss and maximize the profit. your  .2 btc on five accounts will grow exponentially and as the business tycoon warren buffet said, dont put your eggs in on basket.

Its a big no to invest in one coin only. You have to diversify your investment and not only focus on 1 coin. If you lose in 1 trading, there are still other that you can win from your investment and trading ventures.

thanks guys,
will apply the advices from now on, might going to split into 2-4 coins. The reason why i'm asking is i was success to manage from 0.xx bitcoin into 1 bitcoin with only going all-in 1 coins , but the things getting harder when i reached 1 btc, keep getting lose all the time.

i only use 0.3-0.5 btc for trading and i don't want to go all-in in 1 coins because its too risky and we can not earn profit. its better if we can split into 3-5 coins so we can make profit in separate times and we have big chance to make big money. for the rest of bitcoin, i only hold it and if the coins i bought is drop, i can buy back again so the amount of each coins will be increase and waiting to increase.

Yes, this is a good idea, as long as you know which coin that will rise significantly in the next couple weeks.
I know a friend who invested on ICO around BTC0.153 and could made profit around BTC1.85 after a month.
But the problem is; do you know which coin to invest such big amount?
If you don't know, consider to invest BTC1 partially in several projects or all in if you sure about your choice.

I think going all into altcoins with your 1bitcoin will be disastrous and unwise decision. Portfolio management is the  best way to invest that is 50% of your investment should be retain in bitcoin and 10% to ethereum, 10% Foe bitcoin Cash,  10% to be invested in ripple and the remaining balance should be kept for ico investment.

well, it depends on a lot of things!

* most important of them is you! are you a good (experienced) trader? if yes, then it is a good decision to go all in in one altcoin. because you have obviously chosen that altcoin for a reason and it will give you the most profit that you have the potential of gaining. but something tells me you are not so experienced, in which case it is a terrible idea because you will be taking a huge risk and going all in means losing that much more too.

* the other thing that comes to mind is the altcoin you are investing in. sometimes there are coins which are showing a huge potential of rising. for example I can name Litecoin a couple of months ago when it was $4 and they started signaling for SegWit. I personally invested a large amount of bitcoin in it because I knew very well that this is going to rise big time.

* in the end it comes down to your risk management. some people are more comfortable if they take huge risks! and going all in falls under that category of huge risks.

If I have 1 BTC, I will diversify and buy 2 to 3 coins. In actual fact, I will keep 0.5 BTC and buy 1 or 2 more coins with 0.5 BTC.

It is never worth to go all-in anywhere. I mean some traders sell only half of their coins when price is really high, because they don't know how price will change in future, price might rise 3 times next day, so they still keep some coins for that. Same with going all-in in one coin, it's too risky as you don't know how price will change. Maybe it will fall by 50% next day... too risky.

It is better to diversify. Even if the coin you think will skyrocket does skyrocket... it is better to be wise and control risk than just o be a lucky gambler who just got luck.

No, it is not a good idea, even though Bitcoin can be consider as a safe investment,but it is really a good idea to split your investment, at least when something happened you won't lost it all and who knows your other investment can give you better profit, at least put it into 2 different investment
It is a good idea, because when you invest in multiple coins then it is much difficult to keep an eye on their graphs and their price fluctuation, but if you keep eye on single coin then it would be lot easier to read all their fluctuation and you can predict the peak price very easily and you can make pretty much profit from it, well it is also matter of luck but smart move can make you rich.

Sure diversify some like .1 into 3-5 other coins. Spread too thin and you end up loosing on the transaction fees.

There is nothing wrong with hanging on to the 1 BTC as that is on steady rise for the foreseable future.

Watch the markets, study, and try to buy low and sell high.

Cultivate patience as you watch and learn.

Keep buying BTC as you can, I would expect the dips in value to become shallower and shallower.

Spot the panic sells and buy then if you can.

Many things can happen to trigger the markets one direction or another.

Also observe what is happening in the Asia markets, China players have a significant influence in what is shaking out.

And many of the new developments are happening in Asia. Like the Thai post and railways to adopt blockchain technologies to streamline management.

when you invest a large amount of money ($4300) you will earn and lose a large amount of money too.
10% profit on 1BTC is 0.1BTC=$430 --------> 1.1BTC
10% loss on 1 BTC is also 0.1BTC=$430 ----> 0.9BTC

and we all know that in trading, specially in altcoins a 10% swing is the normal way of the market.
so make sure if you are comfortable with these numbers and even bigger like losing 50% and ending up with 0.5BTC in the end, then if you are comfortable with it, start with that amount.

of course it also depends on the coin you are investing in too.
for example when bitcoin fell down to $1800 a while ago because of Aug 1st FUD, it was a very good idea to invest all your money in it because it was the absolute bottom and there were only rise ahead.

Diversifying is always been suggested if you do really target for possible good outcomes later on.Going all in isn't bad as long you are somehow sure on the coin that you put your money on. Its somehow risky because once that coin fails then for sure you would really have a hard time to recover unlike on having another options on other coins which would really give you the chance to recover and its really better.

I would not do that in a trade, if I were you I would at least use half of my capital and leave the rest just in case. I think if I do everything in it too bold, because if our coins have lowered the price we must be ready to lose.

Unless you can predict the future (noone can without insider knowledge or crystal ball), you don't know exactly what will go up or down. You can only estimate with a fairly good approximation based on the news you read and other information you collect. But there is always a room for mistake.

Keep something like 40% in bitcoin and 60% in 3-7 different altcoins. This way, when market is changing - you are not freaking out, but on average you are growing.

I also like to actively trade about 1/3 of my crypto, but it's up to you.
