Well, this only works when the ICO price goes up on trading (which I admit does a lot). However, if the price is flat or down, then you're either selling for a loss or selling to break even. The point is, the strategy should be followed for all ups, not just at the ICO. Some coins don't go up immediately after the ICO (Factom comes to mind) but will go up later. In that case, it is better to hold for that first pump. Of course, the risk is that pump never comes.

I never said it was foolproof.  All ICOs are a gamble and yes most ICOs do go up but there is no guarantee.  Also even if it does go up you may forgo even larger profits that you could have had if you waited - e.g. ETHER all time high (so far) was nearly a year after release, so if you held on to your ETHER and sold at that point you would make much more than if you had sold some of your coins in the first pump. 

On the other hand NEUCOIN went down almost immediately after launch and doesn't seem likely to ever even reach the ICO price again.  It's all a question of risk and how much risk you want to take.  None of us have a crystal ball (at least one that works) and can predict the future with 100% accuracy. 

When BTC was about to hit $1 many people were saying that it was the right time to sell because it would never sustain such a high value and would soon crash down to a few cents.  You just never know for sure and that is cryptocurrency in general.

In the case of WAVES the POS/lending model gives an alternative way to increase your holdings though.  Also given the high community interest and buzz surrounding WAVES I think if anything the risk will be more about lost profits from selling early so people should think carefully about what would bother them more - losing their initial investment or doing the equivalent of selling their WAVES early like those who sold BTC for a $1.

This is spot on.

What time exactly does the 10% bonus end today? What time is used as the cut off time? It would be helpful to know the definitive time, perhaps in UTC?

Smart people sell some of their holdings early on after an ICO finishes as a means of hedging their bets.  That way if the price continues to rise they still hold a decent amount of the coin/currency and if the price falls they can keep some of their BTC and use it to reinvest in another coin or if they truly believe in the coin they can buy back at a lower price thereby increasing their holdings.  Even if you 100% believe in a coin it makes sense to do this in order to protect yourself.  No matter how strong a business model a coin has it will inevitably rise and fall - so why not take advantage of that?

This strategy makes a lot more sense!

That's one efficient way to trade!

Good Advice! This plan is exactly what I was thinking all along. Pull out enough to cover the invest plus a little profit and let the rest ride the WAVES!

Same here, this is exactly what I'm thinking. I will let the rest ride the WAVES!  Grin
