Do they ever work in crypto? I mean newbies trade trash tokens with a market cap below $5m and they plan of making money with technical analysis, seriously? Even Bitcoin can be considered as a low market cap asset now.
having a low market cap is not the reason why trading those tokens is a bad idea. the fact that they are purely pump and dump coins makes trading them a bad idea specially for a newbie who is not yet familiar with trading or with the market itself.
otherwise if these coins weren't 100% manipulated they could have been good choices. but now you only have to know how to go around pumpers and make your profit before they cash out (aka dump) otherwise you get stuck.
''journals of big traders'' all this fancy words..... investing is no doubt the most risky, most difficult thing. All those people see on the internet teaching investing, forex etc. quotes, videos, e-books. All total bullshit.
Let me tell you what you need to be successful in investing, trading and business, you need money! that can keep you in the game even when you fail and make huge loss many times.
Hey buddy, all investors have money, but money doesn't guarantee you profit if you don't have any knowledge in trading. journals from experts, plans, and strategies are very important in the final results of trading.
Anyway, low marketcaps doesnt mean a bad idea, many altcoin have volumes below 1 btc but have high movements and price increases. the most important is not the amount of volume, but seeing the quality of the project or coin, has potential or not?
