How much in percentage of your total bitcoin do you allot or invest to trade? Is it like 50% hold and 50% invest in tradings or how do you go about it?
Is it wise to invest all your 100% bitcoin in trading if you feel it is the right opportunity?

it depends on a couple of things in my opinion.
- how much bitcoin do you have. is it small like 0.1BTC or is it big like 1000BTC? for small go all in! if it is big then depending on risk it can be different.

- how much risk you are taking. sometimes, like now it is a bit hard to speculate about the price. it can stay here and fluctuate between two prices or there can be some bad drama news again and w see some dips or it can start flying again.
but sometimes it is easy to predict. like when price was 2600-2700 it was obviously nearing the end of the rise and drop was a sure thing.
or when price went down to $900 after the $1200 ATH, buying was a no brainer.

- this was for bitcoin trading. if you are altcoin trading then things are different since it is a high risk market by nature. and what i do is that i go in with a small percentage most of them time. something like 30%

Better to use pyramid strategy, 25% small order to be installed at potential price, 25% at mid price and 50% below price as reserve when price down. That is if in one kind of coin.
Always set up Backups to avoid falling prices. BTC

Since we are talking about investment, you must not disregard the possible loss while on the way and it applies to all kind of investment on real world and online. No matter how sure you are that bitcoin will reached it's unexpected high price, we must consider that we must have some spare funds in case of a price crash. So that while minimizing the loss still we have backup.

If you don't want to waste opportunity and want to buy bitcoins at more quantity, then make it to the point that you have other source/s of income so that you can go with the majority of your bitcoin without worrying that it might affect your real life financial status.

It's good to make trade based on the volume of bitcoin one holds. It's good to diversify in the 25:75 ratio. Because the hard earning made through trading 25% of the bitcoin can be earned in future through holding of 75% of the bitcoin from the total volume available.

My first two years in bitcoin, I only accumulated, so I did not sell any. I just kept a budget and kept buying on a periodic basis; therefore, I was 100% in.

Starting in October 2015, I began to trade.

here's my projected allocation BTC versus dollars in my trading fund depending on price.

200-350   97-99.5%
350-450   96-99%
450-550   92-98%
550-650   90-96%
650-850   85-95%

850-1250    84-95%
1250-2000   83-92%
2000-3000   81-91%
3000-5000   60-88%
5000-10000   55-82%
10000-20000   48-78%
20000=30000   45-75%
30000-50000   43-73%

Currently, I am a tiny bit over-allocated in BTC, at about 92% BTC and 8% fiat. I try to never run out of fiat or BTC... accordingly, i buy on the way down and sell on the way up.

Currently, I attempt to maintain my BTC/dollar allocations by selling 1% of my BTC holdings for every 10% rise in price and then proportionately buying back on dips.

I only use 20% from my btc for my daily trade, 80% for long time period investment. I believe is not wise if invest all btc in trading, but if you use martangle strategy I'm not surprised. Trading can't use only feeling but must through trial and error, impossible to get higher without fall. I believe you know what to do with your money and I hope you'll find the answer with trying your strategy using just 10% from your btc. Have a nice day.

You can go 100% for it if you feel comfortable. But my suggestion is not to go 100% on it. Right now, market is having a massive correction. Bitcoin and altcoins are falling deeper right now. Just wait for it to stabilized. They could fall even more deeper on the following days. So better be careful.

I only invest 2% of my whole BTC BR at first and then if the price drops 50% ( of what I bought ) then I will buy the same amount of coins again and sell when I get atleast 25% profit on whole.
For ex:
Buy 1000 units at 100 sats
Buy 1000 units if price drops to 50 sats
Average is 75 now and I will sell all 2000 units when the price reaches 85 .

There is no any trading opportunity that guarantees 100% winning and as such, you should protect your capital by not investing more than 10% of your risks capital on a single trade. Professional traders have this at the back of their minds and that is why they account is always in green.
