in my opinion big profits also have a big risk. and short-term trading has a greater risk so I don't do it. I prefer to do long-term trading. because it has a smaller risk. and I also always do research on market conditions and coin movements before investing. and I chose to invest in altcoin which already has a large market capitalization. this will reduce the risk of loss. investing in new coins or ICO is very risky.
You are doing things in the right way most of the members of the forum only see the profits they can get with icos and they seem to forget the huge risks they need to face, in my opinion even the the possibility that a coin in which you invest can eventually skyrocket does not nullify the risks, the risk of investing in icos is still higher than the profits it can give me and I do not invest in them because of that.
