Yep, agreed with the reply above me that patience and 'sniping' significant oppertunities are crucial things when you're not a complete pro on the trading market. Tried day-trading myself when I was a total n00b and the results weren't satisfying to say the least. Watching the action largely from the sideline definitely is more effective in my case at least, though months can pass before a profitable move on the cryptomarket can be made.
