HalvingHype plan coming into action! First goal of $479 was reached, I'll see if I can pick up the designated dip goal of $473. I'm starting with a small-ish 1.5% of my BTC holdings. At times like this, I would really get out of hand chasing stuff on the low timescales, so I'm staying off of margin, mostly. I feel good about this plan, let's rally this up to $800!
From your description here, I cannot determine very specifically the increments of your 1.5% cashing out.
I've been flying a little bit by the seat of my pants, so I kind of assess the the trade volume in anticipation regarding how fast and how far the upward movement might go.
Accordingly, if it is moving kind of slow, I trade in very small increments, that may end up adding up to being a lot more than if the price moves more quickly.
Accordingly, it looks like I am fairly irregular but in a $10 price movement I will sell anywhere between .5% and 1.5% of my holdings, and in fact I tend to get tricked into the 1.5% selling when the price is inching little by little and very slowly.
Also, if my fiat is getting a bit low because the price keeps adjusting downward, I may decide to cash out a bit more, just to get to a more comfortable place. Further, if the price is moving a lot, and I have quite a bit of fiat, I will cash out less frequently, and maybe even for smaller amounts, but I have kind of learned that I need to cash out a little here and there because even when things are looking really good on the upwards momentum, we get sudden and unanticipated reversals or flattening, and I would prefer to have cashed out some fiat at less than $10 from the top of such after-the-fact revealed price reversal/flattening.
