I want profits and not loses
I think every trade wants that. Dont you think so? Anyway, my beginning was the same as yours in crypto trading. I still consider myself as a beginner (that helps me a lot while conducting research about particular investment).
I focus on small profits or at least ending up at break even point, so I dont expect to jump on indicators having 9,999% price hike (i.e pump & dump schemes). I would recommend you to start with small amounts and keep regular watch on price chart and try to analyze it.
When i started trading i'm also lost btc in my 1st week but then i learn how to trade and how to be a good trader. So now i know how get profit buy coins an active and have potential to go up to get profit. Dont buy coins when the price pumping because many traders lost there money in that strategy. Wait till the coin goes down before you buy.
