When I was trading Bitcoins on a regular basis, I would only trade in small amounts. I would place several small but orders spaced apart so I didn't have to worry so much about catching the bottom of a dip. Same for sell orders. I would place several sell orders spaced apart also.

This strategy is a little like dollar cost averaging where you buy a little bit at a schedule time so you got some at a lower price and some at a higher price. My strategy differs in that the buys at not at a set time but at set prices always leaving myself leverage to keep buying as the price drops.
