1) Never sell your entire stack of any coin/crypto. I do this for personal reasons. Too many times I have seen shitcoins that I used to own skyrocket in value, It just gives me a sick feeling in my stomach to have zero when it's going to the moon. I dont care if its the most piece of shit token there is. I always keep a small amount so I at least get some benefit of it skyrocketing.
Then they are not shit after all.
That's why if someone sees something on a cheap price coins and decide to hold some stash on it, considered the amount that they will throw on this as a loss so that they will not expect if things gone wrong. And if it reached a decent value, then that will be a big bonus.
2.) NEVER BUY AT AN ALL TIME HIGH, I don't care if its the new best coin or some great new technology, never buy at the all time high. you will get burned badly. No matter how strong the bull run is it will always come back down and dip.
We can't tagged a certain price level as "ALL TIME HIGH" in an instant.
Honestly it will depend on the current trend and price movement. There are traders who still made a decent profit out from buying when the trend is uptrend. But remember that it's not a good thing to do for newcomers.
3.) Be patient
As always.
4.) Don't be too greedy. If you get a 5x profit , don't be afraid to sell a large amount instead of hoping for even more gains. Then you end up losing out by being too greedy.
For those who didn't understand the art of being greedy and doesn't know the risks, then better be like this. Expecting too much profit or target will wreck a certain strategy.
5.) don't get caught up in the name branding. I've turned down many good projects because I thought the name was terrible. Such a stupid thought, just look at the whitepaper and project development.
A good reference though.
But remember that whitepaper, roadmaps and future developments must be always good at the eyes of investors so even a shit project will always have a good roadmaps. Im preferred searching some good and legit reviews rather than reading whitepaper etc.
