I'd suggest reducing the number of coins you hold. The more you have, the harder it is to keep up with news on all of them, and you might miss something important. Also I'd add some BTC. Partly to hold and partly to let you do some quick trades if required.

I diversified my portfolio on purpose to reduce risk and maximize chances on holding potential coins that could fly to the moon. have i not done this in April, I would have probably not bought ANS, and missed out on NEO's flight to the moon. it's easy to keep track, an excel file and constant visits to coinmarketcap.com. barely takes 10 mins of my day.

Nxt decreased dramatically, from August to September the charts decreased steadily
an outstanding supply of 999 million coins,
the right decision to release the nxt coin, and if there is a better chance immediately replace the investment

In your portfolio I invest:
Ark

Xem
Nxt
Sys
Neo

Now they are all very cheap

They definitely did, NXT and the others... if you purchased them the past month. But im still not at loss there (on the contrary i made good money out of these coins and still holding), remember in April the whole crypto market was worth only 30 Bn $.

I want to ask the author of this thread, can you tell 3 main features of the coin must have for you to feel familiar to invest?

well I used to ask my self the same question... and the answers I always got was always the same. It is summarized in these few points:

-A client, wallet, platform, or product that actually works and has been around for a while.
-A reputable dev team.
-A reasonable comparison of the crypto's market cap and the market caps of other companies outside the crypto world (ex: if I am intersted in Steem, which i'm not really, I would compare it's market cap to Facebook, a company that offers services that the Steem team is trying to introduce for mass adoption)
based on this comparison I calculate the potential for growth of this coin.
-Sometimes I invest on hypes, classical buy low on early info and sell high when the hype pumps prices. but this is risky and short term, and I stopped doing so. now I prefer to hodl serious projects.
-And even if i'm not a tech guy, you can discern disruptive technology from forums, youtube videos and reviews. (Ex: I had no idea how the bridging thing with Ark will be made and coded, but I read the comments of more tech savvy people criticizing it, or supporting it. when those supporting it convince me, and those criticizing it seem like spreading FUD and advertizing other coins, I buy.)

Those are my main pointers.
