Honestly I never dealt with exchanges before and this is all new to me but it's both fun and very stressful. I'm not a big time player, in fact I started out with nothing and just mined some Hush, sold that and bought ARK/Waves/Shift/Espers. I own maybe $500 worth of coins right now lol, but I plan to increase this.
However stress is getting to me. I keep checking the prices, trying to buy low and sell high and I do that at work now as well and even dream about it. I dreamed Espers was getting pumped and my exchange closed Espers trading and I woke up all pissed off and sweaty and cursing the non existent exchange.
If you really want to deal with stress just check the prices once or three times a day, and hold it until you get profit. Watch out for news about the exchanges you use, so that you wont get pissed off next time and lastly, have fun doing other recreational activities in real life besides trading and being in front of your computer all day.
