Personally I always go long term and try to catch sudden dumps, whales selling and crashing the market due to lack of liquidity, squeezes. I don't predict what will happen overnight, don't even try, and I don't use leverage.
You sound like a professional trader because only people who are having good experience never going for leveraged trading and never trying for catching small sudden drops. Always looking for big profits in long run by investing into highly potential asset is the best way of trading and that must be the way of professionals do.
Your actions are important. Strategy is important. Otherwise, you will lose what you earned sooner or later.
Timely action and sticking always within plan will always ensure protecting our capital and unrealized profits as well. Most traders are getting distracted when they are seeing spike or sudden drop in markets. This leads them to go away from their plans or enforcing them not to take action on right time.
