First bit of selling for me today with Hbar & XRP going crazy I had to take some profits out.
If these last few weeks have just been a small taste of what is to come for us next year then we are in for one hell of a year.
That's a good strategy and we don't have to ignore that. Investing in a project need a little of concentration so that we can know when to buy and when to sell so that you can look for an opportunity to buy more when the price goes down. Crypto is very profitable once we understand the strategy and how to make money with this strategy. At first, it is important we get the skill of analyzing the market if we actually want to be making money from this. I am very bullish on some tokens when I know that once the price starts going bullish, we can make really good profits from those projects. We also need to understand the right time to sell and when to rebuy. This is very important so that we don't keep waiting when seea good opportunity to buy more before price keeps going bull.
Trying to time the markets gets to be a lot of work, plus as number of coins you are into increases the daily chore of checking all of them can get tedious unless maybe you stick to assets that some kind of monitoring aggregator tool offers to monitor for you which gets into would you even trust such tools can you take the time to investigate whether any are structured in a trustable way and for me more importantly what is the chance they even work with the nice "less popular thus much easier to have some real control over the fate of" coins that for me are a lot of my long long term things I have been into for in many cases over a decade.
A nice feature of my build huge columns of buy and sell offers strategy is I don't have to hover over it all monitoring it all all the time even though of course doing so can often pay me more by letting me react more swiftly, moving sell side gains to buy side and buy side gains to sell side.
There are times when waiting a bit actually helps even, times when if I fail to react super fast the price moves farther before I react so the gap between my buys and sells grows farther than it would have if I had been hovering over it, so that when I do re-post proceeds from one side of the order-book to the other I get a bonus for having let it move further before reacting.
The huge columns help a lot to enable time off, since even if it moves a long way while I am away from keyboard my pre-placed columns of offers way way up and way way down already in place catch those movements for me even though I am not right there to react fast to them.
If I leave the gap between my highest buy offer and my lowest sell offer at say 5% and have 20 offers in place then each offer that gets "taken" is 0.5% profit in whichever direction (buy side or sell side), so at that few offers even one offer "taken" per day would be 0.5% profit over the total sum I have on that pair; realistically of course I have many more offers than that by now but being already in place with offers to catch the occassional big moves seems historically to more than make up for what a lot of you maybe think is a low total overall percent per day and of course active pairs usually provide more than just one "taking" of one offer each day on average.

EDIT: I might have gotten that percent number wrong enjoying some fortified eggnog right now. But regardless of exact figures I have lived off this stuff for well over a decade and it still works just fine.
