one thing i've learned is that you gotta act like a whale when investing even if not trying to be one. now this isn't for a new or questionable meme coin but rather a more established one thats safer. lets say for example you say you want to put 1 solana into the coin risking what you can afford to lose, and you have 10 solana on you. i feel that putting all 10 in is better than putting the 1.
reason being is that you have more leverage both ways. you set your original stopping point of 1 solana which is 10%, so you track the chart and lets say you see it go down where you down like .5, .75, or even down near 1 solana and you can just take the rest all out and just lose the 1 you said you wanted to risk.
but then if it goes up lets say 10% then instead of making .10 on your 1 solana you make 1 on the 10 you threw in. you manage the potential loss and set a stop loss at a desired target but also have enough to make decent gains on if it does go up.
of course thats only on established plays. like i'm ok throwing small amounts on new shyt even tho i try and research as much as possible, but then something like vine which has 385M in volume on dexscreener which is prolly the highest on sol since it was released yesterday, that i feel more comfortable loading up more to acquire more gains, and from the previous gains as well.
go heavy on the established plays you feel comfortable with and it'll quicken the gains, just gotta be smart about not wasting it all on the small plays. take profits and leave it in stables or established coins like sol or btc as much as possible so you're not tempted to try and get greedy and keep gambling for more cuz one coin won.
