0.01 BTC is really a very low amount for you to trade in large exchanges, try to increase your balance before you want to trade. You should have at least 0.1 BTC to trade more simply and you will have more profits. In addition, you should not use small exchanges, that exchange cannot help you get profit because most of the altcoins there are only created to pump and dump and it happens very quickly.
Let's not discuss on the amount being used for trading. It is said that we should only invest the amount we are ready to loose and hence the amount might vary for each of us. You might be able to afford loosing 0.1 BTC but it should be a greater amount for OP and hence even 0.01 BTC would be a good amount to start it it is a amount you could afford to loose.
Profits would be smaller investing with smaller capital but at least it would not make us feel uneasy about the money we invested. I personally started with a much smaller amount but now made up myself to afford investing larger amount only because I was able to make profits from the smaller amount I invested initially.c
