When I started trading, I had no idea on charts and market sentiments but I decided to also benefit from the Pro traders as they move the market.
First of all, note that the market has mainly three sides, bull/green (short or long term), sideways, and bear/red (short or long term).
If you're an inexperienced trader like me, don't look at the sideways and red markets. Always wait for a green market (and it happens at least once every month). During that time, set a little target (say 10%-20%) you can even make more if you follow a good coin. Enter the market and take your profits.
Wait for the next round (probably a month a later)- you can keep your money in a stable coin, and by the end of a year you could make (10-20%)x 12 on your money.
Don't try trading everyday if you're not a PRO, they'll squeeze your money from your hands lol...and also never try catching tops and bottoms of you're not a PRO, they'll squeeze it once again. (remember you may be dealing with bots).
Merry Christmas (if you celebrate) and a Happy New Year to y'all.
Although you are not experienced as you say but your logics are like an experience trader. Every day is not a trading day that is true, we should wait for a good setup before taking any trade. One thing I want to add if any crypto exchange allows you short sell any coin you can even earn good money in short selling instead of waiting for a bull run, yes side trend is something which needs to be ignored.
