Hello,
This will seem very basic to a lot of you but thank you for helping me with this. I haven't sold out of a trade because I am stuck on an issue that I can't resolve by myself and I have no one to ask in person. I'd rather not use my exact trade so I will make an example.

Let's say you invest $100,000 USD into X coin at $.50 each. You get 200,000 coins. The price goes to $10 per coin. You now have $2,000,000 worth. Then you sell 1.9million worth of coin (190,000 coins) leaving 10,000 coins ($100,000) left. I am stuck on this part: You now have 10,000 coins worth $100,000 USD so does this mean those 10,000 coins no longer will go up in value from $1.00 they are not worth market value? Or is this the "leave the princicple in to keep making money" sort of thing that will continue to generate profit?
