Of course, you can ultimately do whatever you like. While 50% is better than what a lot of guys do, I still would suggest that if you consider yourself to still be in your accumulation phase that you should put more into your locked up funds, perhaps 75% or more. I personally suggest that guys do not fuck around with any more than 10% of their bitcoin stash, but yeah it would be hard to get you to move that far and if you have been having a positive experience with what you are doing, then perhaps you have figured out some kind of a selling ratio that actually doesn't cause all of your "trading stash" to be sold.
By the way if a guy is already weekly buying of BTC, then he is already likely to catch many dips, and he can also manually execute his weekly buys to potentially increase his chances of getting some level of dip, even though it can sometimes be difficult to completely get the dip.. and in the long run, it may not matter too much about whether guys are buying dips or not as long as they are regularly buying they may well end up in a better position rather than trying to figure out dips and maybe lapsing into waiting strategies rather than buying strategies.. but sure, yeah, guys gotta figure out these balances for themselves in terms of how much of one thing or another might help them to feel more comfortable with what they are doing.. and yeah, it does feel good to make your weekly $100 buy at $113k rather than at $116k, even though maybe it is not going to make a whole hell of a lot of difference in the whole scheme of things beyond just making you feel a little better for a short period of time.

I agree with all of your suggestions and to be honest, I've not lost any money from the trading side but of course trading can't be comparable to long term accumulation and holding of Bitcoin that most of us do as investors. However, I've made my mind that 50% is for investment and 50% is for trading, and to be honest I've been enjoying that approach because with trading 50% I make profits from time to time and with the rest of the 50% I'm increasing my stash.
Although, at one point I'll surely consider to increase my investing level to 70% or even to 80% but as of this time 50% is okay for my needs. It's like saving, investing, trading, DCAying, and dip buying approach and to be honest this has helped me a lot and I'm quite satisfied from this approach as of this time. I would say again that there's no alternative of long term holding when it comes to Bitcoin, only those who hold for long term will make the most money from that type of holding. But, for me the present time of my life matters as well and that's the reason why I'm into trading.
Let's say if my 50% for trading is around $15k to $25k and I make 5-10% from each dip then that's more than enough for me to keep my current money and enjoy sometime with the short term profits. Let's say if I get around $1500-$2500 in profit with that approach without losing my initial capital then that's good income to enjoy a month or two. While, adding more to it with DCA would surely increase it as well overtime and at the same time my Bitcoin stash is also growing slowly. Whatever I buy with 50% of money during major dips will always be for long term holding, and no matter if price moves to $150k or even $300k I won't be selling that 50% which's into Bitcoin.
