What was the amount with which you started trading
I mean your very basic investment and was that your extra money or required money?
If you don't have a experience in trading then you should start from a very little amount to get familiar with the market behaviour and once you get command you then can invest big amount, I personally started with a very little amount and it was 100$ when Btc was on 2k dollar.
of course that time was very good for investment, because it is always better to get the result, When you buy coins at a cheap price. For me, it was very profitable in 2016, when in the summer Bitcoin had a price at the turn of $ 500.
