There is no secret or right way to trading.
It all comes down to experince pretty much. I have been trading stocks, futures, forex, bitcoin for almost 10 years.
Basically the best way is to look at the longer term charts and try and time trades off the short terms charts.
Basically in my opinion. Bitcoin is a long term bull, short term bear, and midterm a little bullish.
You can use TA to help you but keep in mind it maybe only works 20% of the time. The rest are fundamentals.
Right - the more you work trading, the best experience and the strategies that help you reach a success you get. However, yes, I always buy when the altcoins are cheap.
I also agree with this, to trade well is to explore the Trading world to be familiar on all the aspects on how to become a good trader to avoid losing of profits in the long run. Trading is not just a way to earn money, you could lose money too if you are not aware on what you are doing, or if you are just pretending to be a Trader. A great way to start is to invest a small amount of money and ask some advice to your friend that is also Trading.
Practice the tips that you've collected from them and see if its really working, in no time you could discover your own way too.
