What do you mean by succeeding? If your definition is to have more money in terms of bitcoin then you can succeed. However, success needs to be build over time, meaning to say you cannot have a lot of bitcoins in a day or a week maybe months unless you are willing to spend so much money with trading buying low and selling high then maybe in about a week or two you will profit from it. The greater the risk the higher the returns so, if you are some rich guy then risk a huge amount of money in trading but if you are just like me an average person the  it will take some time before we succeed. There will be a lot of trials along the way, with the ups and downs of the price, high volatility can somehow discourage you, but you just have to hold on, if it push through then profit will be great. It is the things that we learn along the way that will make us successful not just in bitcoin. So i suggest we do our research with everything. Success is the end game it is the journey that really matters.
