Very simple, just bought some coins via ICO and waited for them to get listed over an exchanger. I know that it isnt proper trade as I am not buying it over trade platform itself but it was how I did for the first time. I started hoarding it over an exchanger and waited for the right price to sell at. This gave me exhausting timeline but over which I learnt many strategies , anyways ended up selling them at loss only. That is how it went for me for the first time.
