I would like to start daytrading altcoins, but I need to know which ones are best to work with.
You need to know what volatility is all about and how it Influences the crypto space, then you will know if you would really want to trade altcoins with the highest volatility or not.
Actually, this is the reason why it is always neccessary to learn the basics of trading first, then progress gradually before trading, because where is it easy for a person to make gains trading altcoins, it might be difficult for another person, reason being that their trading experiences are not the same.
I would advice you to take your time to learn trading, if possible get a mentor such that you won't regret, it is better to learn well before trading then jumping into trading first, lossing big then deciding to learn, there is always time and enough altcoins to trade, but first get the knowledge.
