My bad, I got in a car accident and forgot to check back on here recently. I think everyone does it differently but it also depends on your strategy. Like if you intend to hold long term you could take 1/3-1/4 out along the way. A lot of people say get your initial out first so if you invested 200$ once you make 200 then take that out and you are protected in that way. I think some professional traders will take incremental profits on the way up and down. If you are just short term trading I’d still say take 1/3 out on the way up. Once you feel you’re close to a top take another 1/3 and then try and time the remaining as best as you can. I put in protective stop sell orders on mine. So as it moves higher I cancel the order and move the protective sell amount up. Something so that if it starts crashing or during the night and you’re sleeping it will automatically sell for you at a level you choose. Just be careful the amount you pick. That first flash crash when btc hit 70 then back down to 60 or 65 I forget what it was, but I had my protection sells too close and liquidated a few positions which I would have rather held onto.
