For now what i'm doing us the basic trading strat. Buy when low, hold then sell when price goes up. With this i am able earn not so much but at least i am not losing, it is the profitable specially when you are able to buy good and potential altcoins.
I think some people think trading as a form of gambling which is what makes people fail to recoup their losses. Trading is not gambling and if you don't know what you are doing then probably the best way is to stay away from trading otherwise this will be just another way to lose some money. Plus that you dont need a price burst to sell it because there is always a small rally or waves that you can actually take advantages from.
