Practice your strategy using paper trading or demos will probably give you ideas about what to do when you already dealing using your money and in the other hand, using a small amount of investment to test if you are doing things correctly will enhance your chance to keep improving.
Your suggestions are good but I have seen some people were already too dedicated and hard working but they were unable to consistently make profits; in this case I am always suggesting them to take a break at least for temporary basis rather than keep trying because when you have already put all your efforts but you could not get the desired results then you should go for break because that would at least give you some emotional balance and more importantly will save your capital for time being.
Sometimes our skills alone will not be enough for making profits in crypto trading but we should be emotionally balanced so that we could apply all the principles of risk management at the right times. For such traders taking break must be a right solution.
