I think the biggest thing to remember is that you need to go in with money you can afford to lose, and don't expect overnight results. Figure out the type of trading that you want to do, and set small goals for yourself.

For example I just put $500 in einsteinium and I've been trading it back and forth with bitcoin slowly increasing the overall value of my portfoloio. I do this with a few other coins and have at some points tripled the value of my original investment but im not selling at every high because im also thinking about long term and would like to have a high volume of coins.
