Time in the market is much more profitable that timing the market as long as the asset you're investing into is fundamentally sound.

Time in the market = buy and hold.

Timing the market = day trading.

Don't try day trading.

Imagine all of the people that bought into Bitcoin at it's first peak at $32 and then it crashed to below $5.

If they had held today they would have a 20X increase, but that would require time in the market, not timing the market.

I would advise against putting 100% of your portfolio into anything, even Bitcoin or property.

Consider that the best way to make money is to avoid scam coins and hold a personal fund that is an amalgamation of various coins that show promise.
This is why i will not buy more now after the increase, i will instead look after other coins to invest in with my few money i have left to invest. As for short term trading i did get a lot more xmr for my money by selling at 0.0135 and rebuying below 0.0115) but now i will simply hold.

In general you are correct about daytrading, especially when you factor in trading fees.
Personally i would wait until 18´th to 22´cnd Ocotber. Probably we will hit the 0,007xxx by then  Smiley
