How much in percentage of your total bitcoin do you allot or invest to trade? Is it like 50% hold and 50% invest in tradings or how do you go about it?
Is it wise to invest all your 100% bitcoin in trading if you feel it is the right opportunity?

My first two years in bitcoin, I only accumulated, so I did not sell any.  I just kept a budget and kept buying on a periodic basis; therefore, I was 100% in.

Starting in October 2015, I began to trade.

here's my projected allocation BTC versus dollars in my trading fund depending on price.  

200-350   97-99.5%
350-450   96-99%
450-550   92-98%
550-650   90-96%
650-850   85-95%
 
850-1250           84-95%
1250-2000   83-92%
2000-3000   81-91%
3000-5000   60-88%
5000-10000   55-82%
10000-20000   48-78%
20000=30000   45-75%
30000-50000   43-73%



Currently, I am a tiny bit over-allocated in BTC, at about 92% BTC and 8% fiat.  I try to never run out of fiat or BTC... accordingly, i buy on the way down and sell on the way up.
 

Currently, I attempt to maintain my BTC/dollar allocations by selling 1% of my BTC holdings for every 10% rise in price and then proportionately buying back on dips.
