2. Sometimes its better to take a small percent profit per position (especially during the bear market). Yes, you will need to make more positions for significant gains, but the guarantees of the success will be much higher. The truth is that the best traders in the world aim for small and consistent profits. They know this is the only way to success.
I must say this is my best point from all the ones you mentioned. So many people have fallen victim of this and I used to before in a bear market, so I am not exempting myself, but experience over time, thought me some good lessons. Rather than looking for a big win at times like this, target those small ones which can always give you a good assurance of hitting a sell target. You had be surprise that while you are waiting for the big one, you would have hit smaller ones several times on different markets easily, unless you are a long term trader anyway, which all still balls down to market trend.
At the end, it is always good to find a different strategy for every trend in the market and find a way to adjust to it whenever it is warranted. Always good to have a safe target, and always the best when you keep your stop loss in place. Great one btc100!
