For me trading has been the most profitable way to earn more BTC.

That said, there is always a certain risk when trading instead of holding.

In my eyes being a successfull trader is all about doing solid research before, and after you placed your investment.

Being well informed about the coins you trade/hold is very important as new events have a huge effect on price.

Personally I try to focus on reading articles and attending to crypto meetings.

Recently I discovered some free software that predicts the future movement of several coins. www.cryptoforesicht.org

I strongly believe that if you put some time into understanding how to trade you will succeed eventually.
