1) Investment duration is 3years
2) Nobody can sell before 6months period from investment.
3) They can invest only in three coins.Bitcoin,Ethereum and Ripple.Either anyone can invest his whole investment in one coin or divided it.
4) After six month anyone can sell and later re invest from profit.

During 2017 cryptocurrency market saw a boom and every coin hit all time high.Now see below how these friends managed their portfolio and what they earned.They start managing their coins after 6month locking period.
Ramesh decided to move with market and sold his coins with a market reversal in mind as follow:
He sold his whole amount of BTC (Approx. 0.27BTC) on 11th of December 2017 @$15000 per BTC and received approx. $4050.
He sold his whole amount of ETH (Approx. 11.75) on December 22nd 2017 @$800 per ETH and received approx. $9400.
He sold his whole amount of XRP (Approx. 17800 XRP) on December 22nd 2017 @$1.15 per XRP and received approx. $20450.
So his total was $4050+$9400+$20450 = $33900.
He earned profit of $33400 with an investment of $500.
He again enter market at low and reinvested $10000 out of $33900.
On other hand after locking period Ahmad decided to sell his coins in intervals as follow:
He divided his each coin holding in 3parts and sell a part with every price jump.
He sold .07BTC @$4455 on August 15th 2017, 0.07BTC @$15000 on 11th December 2017 and rest approx. 0.05BTC he still holding.
He received total $311+$1050 =$1361.
He sold 5.2 ETH @$300 on 15th of August 2017, 5.2ETH @$1300 on 10th January 2018 and rest approx. 5.2ETH still holding.
He received total $1560+$6760= $8320.
He sold 7000 XRP @$0.22 on 29th of August 2017, 10000XRP @$3 on 3rd January 2018 and rest approx. 5000 XRP still holding.
He received $1540+$30000= $31540.
Now his total is as follow:
From closed positions
$1361+$8320+$31540= $41221
From holding positions
$335+ $1248+$ 2750 = $4333
He also reinvest $20000 on low market in intervals.
Michael decided to HODL his whole portfolio and didn't sell anything yet and his holding value at current market price is as follow:
He HODL 0.1355BTC @$6700 = $907
He HODL 23.60 ETH @$240 = $5664
He HODL 16660 XRP @$0.55 = $9163
So total on date is $907+$5664+$9163 =$15734.
From Above trading plans it is clear that all three friends earned from their investment of $500 a huge amount of money.But whose plan is wise, sensible and professional, its topic of discussion.My personal view is trading plan of AHMAD is professional and sensible as he sold his holding wisely and already covered his investment. I think many member here have similar kind of trading or investment strategies.Kindly share which trading strategy is professional, wise and sensible according to you from above and why???
