Even if you have those pointers but if the person is not willing to spend sometime to study about all necessary things that they need to learn then all of the pointers given is just useless. Maybe they need to know their intention first in why they are here since if they are for short term maybe crypto trading is not for them since it need a lot of patience and proper learning. But if they are for longterm for sure they can see the down trend and upper trend then provably this can help them a lot to know more about possible strategies that they can create to help their trades and maximize their possible profits.
Unfortunately too many people are looking for a short way out of this market and they want to just be fed what to buy and when to buy it. This is unfortunate because they are not going to be fed that easily and it will take some time before they could do something like that. I know that it is not that easy to handle this but if you do not then you are going to end up with a terrible result eventually, that's just how it is.
I believe in making a better return one way or another, and if that's not possible then we are going to end up with a terrible ending. Just focus on learning what you can, and that should be the way to go, it would make it a lot better for everyone. This is of course a tough situation without a doubt.
