Making a lot of profit by trading is easier said than done, and still you can never know for sure WHEN you will rake in these profits.
There is no guarantee of you becoming a good trader if you do it in a specific way...
But this is how you will increase your chances to get the profit you always wanted:

Personally I try to read many articles and attending to bitcoin meetups when I have time.
I use free software that predicts the future market movement of several coins.
www.cryptoforesight.orgEven when using this you will need to do your research... that said, I managed to make some good profit by using this as reference.

Never stop learning!
