First, you have to get more knowledge about that token which you want to trade In my opinion you should always make an investment in a new Altcoin and you should always make an eye on that token.
Not only learn about the token that is planned to be traded, but it would be nice to find out the main trading rules. I think it is important for a beginner to remember the truth that you should not go into trading without the readiness to lose a specific amount of money. Its size should be determined by yourself. This is where you should start your preparation. Everything else is already the technical aspects of trading.
