The idea with trading is to increase the number of btc you have so in that sense the price doesn't matter. That being said I still wouldn't recommend trading as 99% of traders end up with a loss so unless you really know what you are doing its not advisable.
I don't think that is accurate. I have read and done some research. While I would say most people who trade may not be successful there are a lot who are. I am not new to trading. Just new to trading cryptocurrency.
