I heard a lot about trading and mostly it was about that trading is the best way to make your botcoins work on you. But I still didn't try to trade, I have a wish, just looking for something checked and save. I am not a professional as you can see. On this forum there are tans of information about trading and from this you can find which areas for trading more or less predictive.
If you are not doing it yet, I think its better for you to practice trading in the exchange platform. It is because most people said here that if you are a bitcoin enthusiast you should learn how to trade in the exchange platform, for you to experience for what other's do, so that you will come to the point in the long run to grow your bitcoin quickly through trading.
