I'd love to have a go at trading (only small amounts) but I have no clue where to even start! any advice?
First You need a trading account and then... buy low and sell high:)
Actually better strategy now is sell high, rebuy low

Sell in May and go away <==best strategy

That applies to stocks, and the saying advises to buy back after Halloween in November. If you applied it to Bitcoin last year you might have done well selling at the peak of the rally in May, but if you bought back in November you would have been slaughtered by the crash after Christmas
