Well if you dont have too much funds (less than $2k) then you wont take much profit from your trades.
But if you only trade with a pair you can easily earn 0.01 every day with a minimum pump, that is if you trade...
So if you are going to hold coins, then you can start with any amount and you will have a lot of profit in the future.
My suggestion is that if wait a little more, and hold as much as you can right now.
For low budget holding is more profitable that trading ? I was thinking opposite..
