We may lose capital for some time while trading which I consider as part of the normal process. In the crypto market I should trade with a tendency to respect price sensitive behavior and with proper selection process my portfolio can show positive trend which gives me more buying sense. One should try to get an average price through regular purchases for maintenance so that a large holding can accumulate over time and not deviate from the main objective of trading.
If at the same time taking lump sum investment decision can increase the risk of capital, a trader should try to get a decent portfolio by making some purchases periodically so that the purchase price eventually shows an average UP.
To reduce the risk of capital and get profit we should invest ourselves in buying regularly like any amount every week or every month instead of waiting for bearish period. If you have sufficient holdings you can leverage your investment with any method. Short term or long term.
Well, as much as Iike the idea of buying a choosen cryptocurrency periodically, it is also important for us to know that when we keep buying at a higher price that is more than the price that we bought the asset in previous time, it's actually does not in real sense increase the overall profit we stand to gain or make, because if any thing happens and the price of that asset start plummeting, you either will have to raise funds to buy a lot of the asset at that lower price to reduce the entire cost of the previous purchases, or you will likely end up in a huge loss if for whatever reason, you end up selling at the price below what you bought.
The best strategy is to strive to buy in every moment at a cheaper price, this is why its best to invest in an asset during a bear season, when we have multiple opportunities of buying the asset at a lower price after a lower price, while the bull season is time to take profit.
