First and foremost, i only invest with money i can afford to lose and only into projects i have throughly researched. What I plan to do is buy and hodl until the price is 2X. Then sell half, essentially giving me back my initial investment, anything I sell afterward is pure profit.
Ok. Let me play the "devil's advocate" and tell you why your plan might not be as good as you think. You said you are a newbie, how will you know if your research is good. Are you technically qualified to judge one project as good or bad?
What if you the coin you are holding does not go up but instead goes down?
I hodl again until the price reaches 1000X. Then sell half my remaining balance, giving me a 1600% return on my investment. At this point I would still retain 16% of my original balance and have recieved a 169X return overall on my investment. Obviously I would have to get in early on a coin/asset and still then wait years potentially to see the returns I want. I'd have my stop loss set at 75% of the orginal price until my first selling at 2X and 50% of the original price there after.
So that's my plan, how's it sound? Obviously I could hodl for the 1000X the entire time, but I feel this is a nice way to lock in some profit early while still holding for the long haul.
It does not look like a sound plan because you are assuming that the coin you will be buying will only go up.
