I don't want to push you to do anything as this is your money, but there is a number of rules to follow when you do trading. I don't know all these rules as I am not a trader, but some of them I remember. One of the rules is how and when to buy. Let's look into your case.
You bought, say, 1000 at 52. Then the price went down. Provided the coin is really young and has not been traded on most exchanges yet, the chances its price will go up are high. The rule states not to sell now at 26, but buy some more. For the simplicity of calculations let's buy 1000 more at 26. Now we have 2000 that was bought at average price (52+26)/2, i.e. 39. Now, if the price grew to 40 and you sell then you already make a profit. So, the idea is to by some more when the price drops lower than your average purchase price and is stabilized in some reasonable time frame. Thus your average purchase price gets lower. You need to keep the track of all your trades to always know your average purchase price.

Again, this is just one principle and I might be missing something important, so take it with criticism.
