There are no exact percentage because it is all up to you, how much you want to make profit and how long you want to keep your investment, for a long term I suggest 75% of Bitcoin and 20% of eth and other 5% could be litecoin or ripple or BitcoinCash, but if you want a short term I suggest 50% of Bitcoin 20% of eth and the rest of the percentage is the mixing of the alt coin, it can be ripple, litecoin, OMG, nxt, nem depend on the market trend
Yes, there is no certain thumb rule for this. It is up to you and it is you who has to decide by keeping in mind all the possible factors. I think of you want to earn more money, and then you should definitely keep a significant amount of your earning in Bitcoins. You can have a small portion of your earning in order to fulfill you daily based needs. The choice is totally yours. Do what seems best suitable to you.

Currently the most I hold is Bitcoin and a little OMG and ETH but trader wise, is there a recommended percentage?
My current holdings are:
BTC 60.75%
OMG 33.74%
ETH 5.51%
There is not a size all fits all kind of answer to that question you need to figure that our yourself, when we are talking about crypto the safest route is to have all your money in bitcoin and the riskiest is to have all your money invested in a single ICO, you need to find something in the middle. My current holdings are:
BTC 60.75%
OMG 33.74%
ETH 5.51%

Not bad for a newbie like you that holding coins about the percentage of it. It's quite good that bitcoin is your priority holdings of your coins. I think Eth must be your secondary priority and then Waves.. My current holdings are:
BTC 60.75%
OMG 33.74%
ETH 5.51%

Everything depends on the stability of the coin, since bitcoin is now very stable, even with the risks it should have the highest percentage. For other coins, you should look in what position they are in the current time, rise or fall. And already from this to make their own assumptions. As for me, you have wasted ETH so much and put a lot of OMG, well, it's your scheme. My current holdings are:
BTC 60.75%
OMG 33.74%
ETH 5.51%

there are two types of traders, the first is he keeps 50% Bitcoin and the remaining 50% he traded altcoin, the other type is he 100% keep altcoin be it just one coin or consist of various variations of coins.
If that's the case, then I will recommend being the first type. Altcoins don't have the potential to produce large profits in short time whereas bitcoins are very fast in this matter. No matter what coin you trade in, it is best to spend some of profits on bitcoins and increase the number.it's better to keep your portfolio on altcoins that's newly created but have really good potential, just my opinion.

Their is no basics of how much to hold , it is upto the users who wanted to take risk how much they can. If you invest most of your investment in other altcoins then it is upto you that which coin you are going to keep and what will be the risk.
My holdings are only altcoins which are having good long term prospects and what ever i am earning in bitcoins most of them i convert them to fiat currency to fulfill my needs

It is necessary to budget wise your coins.. I don't consider recommended or percentage amount to hold.. depends totally on how you balance handling the coins, just make sure you are satisfied the value before selling it
You are right but based from long time traders we should hold half of the total coins because it is possible for that coin's market price to get higher. I haven't tried that but I am willing too. I have trade but I did not hold altcoins. I only hold bitcoin because I believe that it will be more variable in the future and of course I want to have bitcoin at that time to enjoy the fruit of my hardwork.

whatever you feel comfortable really
BTC being the most "safe" and stable coin in comparison to the rest, the more BTC you have the more risk averse you are
So if you like taking risks, reduce your BTC and buy more Altcoins
If you aren't the risky type, increase your BTC holdings
60% BTC is quite conservative in my opinon
Its better to invest mostly on bitcoin since it the most safest of all the crypto but you can try and invest some on other crypto which are mostly new with a fast ICO that happened since they are most likely to increase price in a short span of time. But then again, better to keep most of your investment on bitcoin so that you wont miss any sudden price spike on it.

There is no recommended amount or percentage to keep, it is up to you to decide how much you’re willing to invest in bitcoin. Lets say someone tells you he invests 10% of money in bitcoin and maybe the 10% is 10%=1500, and your own full money 100% = 2000, you see your 10% can’t be up to his 10%. So its up to you to decide whats bestMy current holdings are:

Yeah because people have different finacial situations for their savigs. If you're earning quite a big amount, then i'd say 90% of my btcs would go untouched until the time i see it fit to sell. If there are situations when i have to sell and my income isn't that high, i'd sell perhaps 30-40%. So it depends really on your current situation

My hold are 50:50 BTC and Alts.
As I'm mainly trading BTC-ALT pairs, My goal at the start of the day is to have it 50:50 and then in the end to clear the profit in BTC.
really good strategy and most of the people are doing this for the sake of huge profit but right now i think eth has much more potential than btc right now.As I'm mainly trading BTC-ALT pairs, My goal at the start of the day is to have it 50:50 and then in the end to clear the profit in BTC.
i have only few numbers of bitcoin and a huge number of eth and also have some of the chinese coins like "bytom" and "adex" and i am also looking forward to "IOTA" as well.
i believe it is a really good project and really good team of developers is behind it and i really believe that it will rise like hell in the future. i have saved some for long run

Looks like you are holding the coins in just right proportion. But I would like to give you advice about it. You should add more coins and split your bitcoin and OMG investment little bit into them. This will minimise your risk by adopting your investment into different coins. If you put something in single place then it has got higher chances of threat, loss etc. If you divide it equally or with a ratio then risk gets divided and chances of earning profits increase as well. If you would like to follow then you can try Nvo coin, social coin as additional back up.

Sometimes i used BTC as to buy alts when there is some good alts on the market and has the potential to grow in value. I don't usually trade BTC but it still depends on the price, in BTC im a long time holder, in eth I'M doing a short trade and same goes for some alts nut some alts are really good to play with. There's nothing wrong to hold the main coins, the only disadvantages is that the main coins might go down and you might lose everything but if it goes up like ETH this year you will be a instant millionaire. It is always better to diversify it in a way that it will balance the price and you will not lose your profit at red time, it will be hard at first or the second when trading but you'll get by and learn from it. Remember the Famous line " Just buy what you can afford to lose ".
