Control your emotion, believe me, emotion is your biggest number one enemy. Especially the fear and greed know how to stop loss and know how to take profit.
You're spot on! Emotion is the game killer and OP should watch it. I sensed they're already getting carried away with the little winnings they're recording. My two cents to OP will be that they shouldn't allow their emotions get in the way. Treat every winning as a normal thing. Don't see it as something extraordinary.

Please don't stay away from BTC since if you can predict BTC moves you can predict the most market is going. In fact, most of traders that I have followed what they do first is predict BTC moving after that they start to analyze the altcoin. Bitcoin waves is real.
You're right. That's how I follow trades most times. I look at what Bitcoin is doing to gauge what altcoins should be doing because once Bitcoin catches cold or sneezes others get the infection, so to say.
