I think that patience and discipline is not enough. It's mandatory to know math, statistics, probability theory,
all of the important news, to know what is important and what's not.

yes for becoming a good and professional trader you need to have a lot of experience and trading skill and you can only get experience by spending time in trading, therefore i will say that first you should invest some small amount in trading alt coin and only through this way you can get experience in trading alt coin. experience is too much important in trading, because without experience trading is more risky than gambling where we mostly depend on our luck.
