After I buy anything, I immediately put in my sells for where I think it should go.. With Coinigy, I can leave my computer on and it will make an alert if I buy or sell anything while im not in my office. So I do often end up running back to the office to submit an order at night.. But it just depends if the trade is big or not.. Coinigy also sends you email alert, so even if your not at home you can see if anything has happened in your portfolio...
As far as adding up my day goes, (with the stock market, im usually totally in cash by the end of the shift so its easy to total) with cryptocurrency its difficult to try to accurately add everything up an see a running fiat total, so i just take a good guess each day of what I made and give myself a total, then once a week or so I do an accurate total for my entire portfolio..
