Nobody in the right mind will turn trading into a full time business or job unless you are a wall street individual ,people who are having a heavy pocket usually does trading and not people trying to survive solely with it,because investment is not a sure guaranteed profitable thing,there are possibilities that it would end up in a loss,so there are risks involved and you have to hold for a longer period of time to get the necessary profit,knowing the exact point of appreciation is the most important thing here,if you have confidence in a project you invest in it for the long term,follow the project and invest heavily when you expect any special news from them as the market reacts to these things.
