I think OP is already in profit when he had added more LTC and as well as to BTC and LTC. ETH just reached another high just this day but again, it's so quick that with bitcoin it has started to be into the dip again.
But the portfolio of OP is consisting of good cryptocurrencies which makes him having the strongest cryptos of them all. And his kind of portfolio is the ideal one that will last for long.

50% for btc is a good choice
I would change 35% to a defit project because it is the backbone of the recent trend and it brings the most profit to investors. You can increase your intial investment to a hundred of times
15% you can choose between the top 10

I always tell people to put as much as they can into BTC because all other coins depend on it.
There are coins that depend more like forks of bitcoin and ones that depend less like IEOs but in the end it all comes down to if bitcoin is in a bull or bear market. If it's in bear everything else is going to be, so why would you get 100 different coins with different protocols, wallets, dev teams when you can have one and more or less have the same profit?

You can set aside 5% for small caps. 80% of altcoins are likely to pump at least 2X on this bullrun so that's something you can consider. The risk is higher but your portfolio will not be affected too much if the gamble loses.
...You could increase you BTC at the cost of LTC.
70% BTC
30% LTC
30% ETH
This is 130%70% BTC
30% LTC
30% ETH
He made so much profit that he lost count
OMG
That is a great interpretation! If I were you, I would allocate X 50%, Y also 50%, Z ALL IN 100%. You know what? Also give 70% to A! Hilarious how he obviously didn't realize with his three numbers that it doesn't add up. BUT - we all make mistakes! 
having a BTC allocation of 50% is good enough. It depends on what price you buy it. If you buy at a low price you will get a huge profit at this time. The rest of the portfolios like LTC and ETH are potentially good coin options. There are several more coins that have the potential, such as BNB, XLM, TRX and many others.
I think you should post your whole financial portfolio and not just your Crypto portfolio. That way, we can see what your risk appetite is and how your Crypto portfolio should look like.
Example : Let's say you invest like this.. 90% in Banks / 5% in Gold / 5% in Crypto ... then your Crypto investment should be a high risk portfolio, because your main portfolio is low risk. (and visa versa, if you have a high risk main portfolio)

You have done well by choosing Litecoin and Ethereum to accompany your Bitcoin.
You could increase you BTC at the cost of LTC.
70% BTC
30% LTC
30% ETH
So a total of 130%?You could increase you BTC at the cost of LTC.
70% BTC
30% LTC
30% ETH
But back on OP I think you already made a great choice on your portfolio as a newbie,
I would only suggest to increase your BTC holding and avoid buying some crypto that is only being pumped right now example Dogecoin or some new projects.
Just stick to what you have right now but if you want to add more crypto then buy only the top rated crypto you could use coinmarketcap.com to check them all out.
If I were choosing three or four assets, then I'd go along the lines of:
Bitcoin 50% - ( ETH / XRP / LTC ) 40% - DOGE 10%
If I had to choose ten cryptos, then:
BTC 1/3rd - ( ETH / XRP / LTC / DOGE ) 2nd third - (( ( newer coins with promise ) + ( some other well establised coin/tokens ) about 50/50 split )) last third
Bitcoin 50% - ( ETH / XRP / LTC ) 40% - DOGE 10%
If I had to choose ten cryptos, then:
BTC 1/3rd - ( ETH / XRP / LTC / DOGE ) 2nd third - (( ( newer coins with promise ) + ( some other well establised coin/tokens ) about 50/50 split )) last third
It's okay and safe, rather than put more money in new altcoin that increase risk I think 50% for bitcoin is okay. But if it's okay for you to take little bit higher risk there some altcoin that already use in big community. People now really like to play game now, so I think altcoin that can be used to buy item in game is promising. I bought altcoin like that and get 100% only in few weeks just by holding it.

You could make money even if you just have TRX actually its all just a bit of timing like having dogecoin while the price is just 0.001 and you bought about $1000 of it and wait. Its a matter of waiting still even today. So if you have about $5K worth of ADA today and wait for its smart contract deployment to see where could price go then its a profit gainer.
Having 50% of BTC in a portfolio is good but it depends on how much is the worth of your whole portfolio. If its worth more than $200K then I guess you have more than 1BTC. If you only have $10K worth of your portfolio then you just have 0.09 BTC.
Congratulations on your portfolio are well done. We are in a bull market, most cryptocurrencies are increasing in value. As a novice, making an early profit is good. Think about withdrawing some of your capital back to your wallet and plan to make a profit step by step.
Could've make more money if OP put more on bitcoin since bitcoin is the biggest gainer in all of the mentioned cryptocurrency by OP. I do agree that OP should take some chunks of his/her portfolio and invest it into other things, diversification in long-term is the best course of action.You could make money even if you just have TRX actually its all just a bit of timing like having dogecoin while the price is just 0.001 and you bought about $1000 of it and wait.

My current portfolio allocation is 50% BTC, 35% LTC, 15% ETH does this sound ok?
Well, it looks like you have the knowledge and have appropriately allocated the funds. It is a very necessary condition to get started in the investment process. I'm trying my luck with altcoin with a allocation of 50% ETH, 30% BTC, and 10% for $ PYR - A new gaming platform with wide NFT. 10% I save it for rewind, backup. I believe this is a creative allocation to maintain capital and limit deficits.

I believe this are good and for you to have invested in this coins means you must have done some homework to decide which coins to invest on and that is what you need to keep doing, invest on crypto projects based on what you have understand about them and knowing fully well that you have made the right choice for yourself cos some of us will tell you to invest in what they too like. 
Hello everybody. Better than your own mistakes, losses, or victories and gains, no one can tell you more or less correctly about the distribution of your portfolio. Personally, when I expect a good fall in prices in the cryptocurrency market, I will invest 25% BTC, 25% ETH, and the remaining 50% will invest in new promising projects. Whose set of coins will earn the most - we will see after a certain time.

You can't be "sure" of anything. I haven't heard of someone who has a crystal ball yet so don't take anyone's word for it.
There is no correct way to build your portfolio, but instead yourself a lot of questions like "Why do I hold 50% in BTC and not in altcoins?" or "Why is my LTC allocation bigger than ETH?". Take responsibility for your allocation, do not try to blame others by following their opinion - just my advice.

if I see your allocation is okay for now, I think if you have additional money you can add to the capital to increase your allocated coins. because what we know is that your current portfolio has good potential with 3 coins that are in the top 10 coinmarketcap

IMHO, I think your portfolio was good already because all coins that you choose like Btc Ltc and Eth are the top-ranking coins that's why it is a good coin to hold and invest in. And for me, it was already a good choice. anyway, about holding 50% of BTC in the portfolio, will I think there's nothing wrong with it as long as you know what you are doing and because it is your own Portfolio that's why you can do whatever your want.
You have done well by choosing Litecoin and Ethereum to accompany your Bitcoin.

This is not critical because you can still trade one into the other when the prices are
favourable to increase your BTC amount.

LoL I just read your suggestion about the portfolio allocation. I don't want to be mean, but it will be hard to hold 70% + 30% + 30% of anything whatsoever
Please don't advice anyone to hold 130% because that is only possible if that person goes into debt or plays around with leverage.

In my opinion, it looks okay to me allocating your portfolio and investing it in well-known cryptocurrency but there's a lot of promising coins than those you've selected and have the biggest potential to boom in the future. As long as you don't put all your capital in one specific coin like BTC then you'll be fine.
Being new to cypto i'm not sure how my coin allocation should look. My current portfolio allocation is 50% BTC, 35% LTC, 15% ETH does this sound ok?
It’s seems good allocation in my side because your investment going top 10 coins also your money is much safer than other alt coins investment. These three coins are big uptrend right now, holders got huge profit already. You can add BNB i think it’s another gem in the near future, most possibility it’s can be overtake LTC. Thanks for everyone's great advice. I had put more into LTC as i heard there was going to be an impending 'pump'. Might give it a few more days and then move some back into BTC and ETH 
Oh man. Be careful.
I was thinking about the correlation of LTC to BTC and how it might slipstream it, but this last week has completely changed that for me.
These cryptocurrencies are new beasts and are easy to manipulate by whales. Even stocks and commodities can be manipulated by Reddit these days.
My strategy is just to buy little bits of things I like and hold it. When I feel like it.
Don't try and actively rebalance crypto, for that way madness lies.

Such allocation is adequate if you want a more stable portfolio but with limited gains.
What I would do is:
40% BTC
10% ETH
15% Synthetix
15% ATOM
15% Solana
5% Binance Coin
I bought some Synthetix recently along with Aave, Uniswap and a few other DeFi tokens available on Coinbase.
I bought them because I read people talking about them on the web so took a gamble (with money I can afford to lose) because it could be the next phase of crypto/blockchain.
Thanks for everyone's great advice. I had put more into LTC as i heard there was going to be an impending 'pump'. Might give it a few more days and then move some back into BTC and ETH
I have about the same as yours, but I have about 10% EOS.

The current situation is little different to arrange the allocation, Because we are run in day trading segment and I always actively monitor the every pump and dump of my portfolio.
1. Bitcoin 20%
2. Ethereum 20%
3. Dogecoin 20%
4. Binance 20%
5. Token 20%
I always split to invest in many platform so I can invest 80% of coins and 20% of tokens.

good job, you don't have to worry about how your portfolio looks like. because that's a pretty good start. I am sure that you will benefit enormously. My advice is to stay consistent and don't get exposed to FUD easily. Enough of your emotional educator to be as controlled as possible.
Being new to cypto i'm not sure how my coin allocation should look. My current portfolio allocation is 50% BTC, 35% LTC, 15% ETH does this sound ok?
if my suggestion is you better change 15% to LTC and 35% to Ethereum, because in my opinion the price of Ethereum is more likely to increase very high than the price of LTC, therefore I think investing in Ethereum is definitely more profitable for you or my advice is that you better change your LTC to Polkadot, because the price of Polkadot can increase higher than the price of LTC, so my recommendation for your portfolio is :
1. BTC - 40%
2. ETH - 30%
3. DOT - 30%

Do not allocate portfolios consistently. Sometimes it is necessary to change to catch other strange winds or to better catch fomo. What you have done perfectly well in this trend, however in the near future LTC and ETH could be reversed. That is the optimism that I evaluate for the coming.
Maybe aim for about 5% spread across some DeFi tokens which are taking off big time now.
You should not ask whether the allocation is "ok", but whether the allocation is ok for you. If one does not know your financial situation and risk tolerance, their advice cannot be anything else but subjective opinions. Moreover it is unlikely that any of us here are certified financial advisors.
In my opinion Bitcoin is less risky than the other assets out there, just because it has stood the test of time so well and it is now looking to become a reserve asset for companies' balance sheets.

I agree with you here. At the end of the day, you are the only one that knows what's best for you. But his choice is not bad. At least, he is diversifying his portfolio into solid cryptocurrencies. And yes, he can receive a lot of pieces of advice here but in the end, he will be the one to assess it if it is appropriate to his financial situation.
You shouldn't even own any altcoins specially since you are so new that you have to ask others what percentages to allocate the shitcoins in your list. You should only stick to bitcoin and if you are so eager to create a "portfolio" then do it correctly by diversifying into real assets instead of shitcoins. You can include things such as stocks and precious metals in your portfolio.
If I were you, I would start slowly increasing the BTC % of your portfolio soon. Alt season has begun but you never know when it ends, and it's usually Bitcoin who follows after it since money from alts will start flowing back into BTC.
Moreover, compared to alts, even when BTC gets dumped it usually doesn't go even near the previous high. As soon as you purchase before the bull run, you'll be on profit even if you miss the ATH.

This division of portfolio is also good but this means that you only have these three coins in your port folio. Also you are allocating LTC 35% of the portfolio which is too much for a coin like litecoin.
It will be better if you increase the percentage of eth in your portfolio and consider adding few more altcoins along with ltc.
Opinion about portfolio varies for each person depends on many factor and their own recipe but as I've seen IMO your portfolio sounds OK. I'd always put big portion of my investment to BTC since it has highest market cap (about ~60%) and ETH (~25%)the rest spread to coins with less market cap, high risk but could give high profit but diversify it properly to reduce the risk of loss in one go. Honestly, your portfolio is fine without any modification but thats just my opinion
You can set aside 5% for small caps. 80% of altcoins are likely to pump at least 2X on this bullrun so that's something you can consider. The risk is higher but your portfolio will not be affected too much if the gamble loses.

This is 130% 70% BTC
30% LTC

I think the amount of btc should be kept at 50 percent for the risk to be minimal. No matter what altcoin you invest in, be in 50 percent of your bitcoin portfolio
does this sound ok?
"By the book" you should have at least 50% BTC. You have that. Good.
The riskier the rest of the portfolio is, the more % should be BTC, but LTC and ETH should not be that risky.
Although it's not how my portfolio would (actually does) look like, but as long as you did your homework on which coin has what potential to rise (or not fall), you should be "fine".
(Just a reminder, don't invest more than you afford to lose, else you'll be very stressed when the market will have bad times and you may do stupid moves.)

Nobody will give you accurate information about how your portfolio allocation should look like, you will be the one to learn and know what you want. Learn about the cryptocurrencies, know the ones that are less volatile and the ones that are more volatile. I will advice you to let bitcoin to be 50% or more while altcoins should be other 50% or less. I do not know much about the altcoins, learn this yourself, be careful and invest at the right time after making proper analyses.
