Welcome to the forum Annie, I would advise you to start practical trading with low amounts and do that more frequently. Make sure you pick the right pair for trade because there are more than 600 altcoins at this moment and most of them are going to end up with a loss so be careful while choosing a pair. Alternatively, do your own research and don't rely on other's opinion, especially when it comes to the financial matters.
On trading you need to educate yourself first and to achieve it you need to read in forum to gain knowledge and idea on how to start on trading. Practical tips may be share in forum through reply and new topic. I suggest on joining on a signature campaign rather than to gamble, Because as I experienced gambling is to risky that the probability to earn is very low. So if you are on a signature campaign that is the time you can have a capital for you to start on trading. Besides signature campaign is fast and reliable way to earn so is sure that you will earn. Then start working hard and focusing on your trading always monitor the price for you to know if it is better to buy or to sell then do not consider using bot but work for your own. Work hard and focus on your trading.
