You should always keep some cash in hand.
I typically don't have that problem. As a trader, most days I go to bed 'flat'. Meaning mostly on cash with all my trading positions.
I do have investment positions that I haven't touched in years and I add to it. But generally speaking my market risk is fairly low.

What would you have to qualify to keep something in a long term position. Are they company stocks or resources like gold?
BTC for example. I never sold any BTC. Hopefully never will.
Also AAPL, NVDA, AMZN etc.
