I am a former Forex trader. I still trade stocks also. Im confused about one thing regarding Altcoins. EVERY pair I look at has the same pattern. Starts up and ends at some small price that is a fraction of its starting point. Its like every chart is a copy of another. How can you possibly make money from holding these coins? Every coin I mine from multipool when I get over to cryptsy its at the bottom of the chart. With forex pairs rise and fall. These just fall it seems. And usually about a week before I get them:( What am I not seeing. What am I doing wrong? Or when mining multicoins is it just get what you can as soon as you mine them?
Thanks....and please dont flame the noob

There are basically two kinds of altcoins being created.1. Those that are claiming they have a new technology that can replace Bitcoin (those are the ones you are seeing that pump & decline pattern on). That is because next week there will be a newer technology.
2. Those that are trying to build a real user community. Their charts will have steady growth with ups & downs like you are used to with Forex.
