Before I started bitcoin trading, I will watch some video tutorial in youtube, I follow different techniques and I applied it using small capital first just to experience trading using my little knowledge until I learned how to do trading with profit. In my opinion and based from my experience its more profitable when you hold the coins and do the long term trading compared to short term. And some piece of advice do not apply a weak hand style of trading where in you are selling the coin when the price is low it happens sometimes when you are doing short term trading. Its better to buy a coin and set the price and forget it. After a few mos then you will see the great result with big profit.
