You right, not any one in trading can manage with always profit consistently every session created because we can't predicting when bitcoin or altcoin suddenly dump, now many outside news make trader and investor panic to sell their coin. This why always use 60% from my fund to buy some coin, left 40% I use when bitcoin or altcoin suddenly dump so I got with good price.
Asset diversification is one of the strategies that many traders use in an effort to increase the profitability of their asset. If you believe enough in bitcoin then you can be 100% with it but if not then you have to diversify. There is nothing wrong if a trader chooses 50% of his total asset to be in altcoin while in my opinion bitcoin should also be considered in his portfolio.

Since I am not a professional trader who applies some rules in profit taking, so it will be very difficult to say how much profit should be taken from each selling session. We realize that what we do is still far from being a professional trader. But regardless, as long as I don't lose big and still earn even a little, it's much better than taking losses early.
Actually, pro traders don't look much on how much they can make money from a short trade as this was hard due to the volatility of the market but they are taking a chance to have more in long-term trading. That is why, if you are just a newbie and impatient person, trading will really hard for you, and the possibility is that you can't able to manage your emotions and getting bored leading to losses. Learn and continue to learn from every trade that is made, at least it has given an idea of how the trading cycle works in each predetermined time frame.
Because trading will be effective if we apply some knowledge of trading strategies, at least a simple strategy that is easy to understand.
I don't think its worth the effort you will be putting to take $1-$3 profit. Sure, it might stack up to some good amount if you keep on doing it, but don't you think it would be better utilization of your time if you do something more productive that will be giving you better profit? As long as you are not selling when you haven't reached your profit goal, everything is fine! Keep holding. In the long run it will pay off.
It is not going to even stack up that much, it is such a low amount that we are talking about basically nothing at that point, who could even make a profit with $1? I mean maybe with $3 but even that is too little, think about all the fees you will have, that means you are going to lose most of that money away anyway, which doesn't make sense. I rather make a big investment and long term so that I could make bigger profits.This may end up working if you have very very limited funds and you have a lot of time, like maybe some high school kid may try this, at worst they will lose few bucks but that's about it, nobody else should even attempt this. Either put it on long term, or aim for higher profit, otherwise you are spending your time for nothing. Go study something that could make you profit and you will make more money in the long run.
Has anyone been able to take profit of nearly every trading session they've had so far? If anything, I think they were lucky enough for this. But I'm not so sure that one can do it consistently every session created.
So far I only think that the analysis can help traders to get a better chance of making a profit. Maybe they can do it quite often but to achieve that consistency then I think it's almost impossible due to the constantly fluctuating market. OP, I would not consider this $1-$5 gain for my trading activity so far. Obviously it may not be the wrong choice, but I hold the trading asset for a certain period of time until my desired target is reached. When someone has a habit of short term trading, they may use anything to get minimal profit and that is good for them although not for others.

Always making a profit depends entirely on the type of market analysis and trading. It is unlikely that a trader's trading analysis will always be accurate and that he will always make a profit. On the other hand, if you make a very small amount of money, such as 1$ to 3$, and always call it a profit, then it is definitely not a feature of professional traders. Because it’s hard to say for sure that the market will rise after every purchase and you will only continue to make a profit. In some cases, the market may go downhill and a small amount of profits may be exhausted on a trade. Therefore, it is more reasonable to make a profit from a profitable trade through market analysis without considering only the profit from each trade.
I've done this before right after I installed the Binance android application. It's just too much work and effort if it is not automated. That also means monitoring the market every minute to take the profits if the movement has the volatility of $1-5. But I tell you, it gets stressful in the long run like you'd rather take a day job than do this over and over again. Repeated days will make you worry into where it will go so you will rather take the longer periods with higher profits than this method. But you are right, it's a good start point to learn then go for higher numbers after you master it.
I think that's where the trading bots come in, you tweak them to your specifications and then test it and see if it makes money more than losses, it will be a lot of work tweaking a trading bot to your specifications but it will be fruitful at the end because if you did it right, you are making money trading hands off and at the same time doing a day job. It doesn't have to be hard, you just have to make something out of a negative situation. 
It's easy to enter with good entry point but the challanging thing is taking profit before a retracement and most of the times this retracement could be a beginning of a new trend changing a winning trade to loss. And in situations where the trader fails to apply stop loss there could be chances of blowing off ones account. A profit taken is better than a loss made no matter how small accumulation of smalls makes a mighty bulk.
Have you considered taking profits of $1-3$ repeatedly throughout a trading session it might sound small for professional traders but it would go along way in growing an account most especially for beginners. If a trader cultivate the habbit of taking profit during trading he would have an upper hand over the market and also get clearer pictures of better entry points and also be on alert on when to exit especially during retracement.
Taking small profits will reduce the risk of losing your capital but don't forget that you also have to pay trading fee for every transaction which eats yoir earnings if you are keep doing it more. And there is a common fact that day traders are making profits in the short term but in the long term they end up with nothing due to the volatility on prices and failure of compounding.Have you considered taking profits of $1-3$ repeatedly throughout a trading session it might sound small for professional traders but it would go along way in growing an account most especially for beginners.

I moved to Binance and was able to trade every now and then, but I've stopped now, for personal and psychological reasons.

Taking profit is a correct way of doing things by being proactive about assets/profits. Obviously there were times when I didn't have the courage to take profits. When you think it is going up and there is a lot of good information, it is difficult for me to conquer my own thoughts and beliefs. Maybe I'm not suitable for take profit. Lol, agree with multiple profit taking times that increase capital turnover and significant gains for altcoins.

3-5$ per session is probably too little for a pure trading session according to 15', 30'- 1h, 4h candles. Lol, also how did you build your initial capital?? Why use the math problem only 3-5$

Whatever you said mate, it’s good to hear theoretically.
But as you know, the one’s who work online are often lazy.
So rather they would take no profit, then gathering 1$ profit every minute to gain the upperhand.
Yes it can be beneficial for someone who is new in trading.
But i know the rest of the traders will ignore it as they seek for bigger opportunities.

Absolutely true. It's not too cool to add profit to capital while trading, its as if you are putting all your eggs in a basket and it's risky, it's certain that trading is all about risk. There must be risk management. Which is risk must be managed by always take the profit
I don't think taking small profits all the time would be ideal but will still depend on the trader's skills and understanding of the market. I would prefer to take huge profits one at a time so I'll get a better amount. We could actually be a short term trader or a long-term holder depending on our comfortability. We could apply different strategies as long as we're gaining profit.
we have to comparing our profits target with risk that we have to face, money management teach us to use proper ratio between risk and profit. we should not open trade when risk that occur bigger than profits potency, it could not make us survive in market if our loss position have bigger amount. That's valid! if you don't see the value of profits compared with the risk that you'll going to take either to take a small
investment or forget about it, it's very important to know how will you balance the risk, more on good money managements
that will drives you to earned decently with much lesser risk to take.

People loss a huge amount of profit or even capital in crypto because of greed, I experience it last bull season on year 2017 i was holding so many altcoins and i don't take any small profit because I want big profit, we all wanted a big profit no one can deny it, because most of the people is greedy. But for now I learned a lot from my mistake and I slowly take even small profit small and big profit is almost the same and it is better that we can earn small than nothing.
