If I'm investing in a high-conviction altcoin long-term, I like to split my holdings into 2 parts: 1. Long-term bag (I won't trade it, only take profit) 2. Active trading bag (I'll use high-time-frame invalidations/key levels on the chart to enter and exit) The latter requires more attention, but this way I benefit from the upside of my long-term thesis without full exposure to the downside. The percentage you assign to each depends on your conviction. It could be 80/20 for something you're very bullish on. Or 20/80 for more of a "long-shot" play. Just ensure you define your exact strategy before making a purchase.
