Diversification is very important. Not only in investment but also in crypto trading. I also do diversification in crypto investments. Like dividing capital for investing in crypto into several parts. And I personally divide it into investing in bitcoin partly and investing in altcoins partly. And in altcoin investment, I also divide it according to the altcoin category that I enter. Like I hold several altcoins in the AI category and I also hold several altcoins in the layer 1 and 2 categories. And I also set aside a small portion for speculative investments such as meme coins. This makes me calmer in investing.
Diversification is like expanding something and that's a wrong term to use in trading. You can split your funds with multiple orders but not diversify. Only on investment toy diversify with strategies so that when you invest in assets A, B, C and D; each of them might not grow together concurrently but one will surely perform well than the rest. There is high tendency of having one that might not grow at all and hence more reason why you should diversify portfolio.
As for trading, you can span your capital through different pairs, do your technical and fundamental analysis and then open your trades and watch over them depending on how long you want to live them to grow before you see them on the exchange.
What you say is very true, friend.
But diversification is not limited to investment alone but can also be applied in several medium and long term trades such as swing method spot trading and futures trading. And it must also be noted that diversification is basically risk management itself. Maybe not many people realize it, but traders are already used to risk management. And actually that is also part of broad diversification.
Like I have capital which I divide to buy several altcoins when there is a correction on Monday and I divide the capital by buying several altcoins and we do this because we don't know which one will first get an upward moment. And when one of them has a moment of increase, we can start selling on that one. And of course, before deciding to enter an altcoin, we must have technical, fundamental and sentimental analysis. In fact, we also have to look at the narrative that is ongoing and has the potential for hype in the future.
