I am here almost 3 years+++. Now I have some experience in trading but I can't depend on my research only. Currently, I am holding almost $2k and looking for making investment to trade and earn some profit to increase my total funds.
If you are not good at researching and doing technical, fundamental and quantitative analysis of a project then the first thing you must do is stay away from all the ICOs at the very least. Most of them are scam and 10% that might be legit are not going to make it beyond the exchange listing.
Can you share with me some upcoming news which may help me to grow my funds fast? Or you can share your research too so that I can pick one shortly in my list to invest next.
The best advice I can give you is doing price trading. Basically buying at a lower price and selling at a higher price and since BTC is going to go higher in the long run, so at least you know if things go wrong you can at least rely on the long term value of BTC which is always going to rise.
Price trading works like this, you buy BTC at $49500 for example and sell at $50500 so you earn $1000 for each BTC traded. Sounds easy, but remember not to panic when market goes down.
