Do you ever manually sell to cut losses and move on?

My example is with ARK right now. Everything was going very well and GB made lots of profitable trades. Unfortunately, now I'm left with a bunch of ARK just sitting there that GB won't get rid of. I'm wondering if I should just keep my fingers crossed in hopes of it eventually going back up (it might, it's not a bad coin) or if I should just sell it to free up the capital to make profitable trades elsewhere. I might consider putting on double up, but I don't have enough bitcoin to cover the entire lot of ARK.

Same problem here with ARK 

If you need "cash" to trade, no other solution than to sell as is, mark a loss, and try to compensate on other pairs.
A trader always loose; the important it to gain (a bit) more than you loose.

If you don't need immediate cash, place manual orders on the marketplace with a tiny margin, or a decent loss (like -5% for example, if you're already far below...)

Third solution, leave your bot trying to sell them - but it'll take a long time and a load on the API...

Good luck!

I did a panic sell on two bags holding for several days, to cut my losses on move on. Only to find out 6 to 10 hours later, that they could have been sold by the bot with profit ... Now I just let them sit and wait for the bot to do it's thing.
