Try and trade with either btc or LTC pair whwn trading. It is less volatile and you can easily minimize loss even as you wait for your orders ro be picked up
I always trade altcoin with btc as it is always easy to calculate the prices in terms of BTC. It is very difficult to trade in any other pair as you have to first convert the them into btc to know the actual profit and loss.
altcoin to btc was become most favourite pair from this market.many trader easy to count how much they will spend their btc.and also trading altcoin could add their bitcoin stock if earn profits.
Yeah even though this is far more risky than btc/usd trading, but alt/btc trading can be much more profitable because altcoin fluctuations sometimes bring high prices up in short time, the point is you have to be smart at looking at charts, you have to be smart at taking chances..
