Is spreading out what is left of my money in a few ICOs a good idea?

Also, I was wondering how much do you need to wait until the token is listed on an exchange? On my watchlist I have GoNetwork ICO, Effect AI (neo) and perhaps something else. From the looks of it, I would need to wait 2-4 months I suppose.

Also, anything to look out for? Besides team, whitepaper and such.

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

Long story short, I started with $3000 almost 4 months ago and now I'm down to $960.

I lost $200-$300 while learning, the rest was from cryptocurrencies crashing, and of course my mistakes.

Two days ago I wanted to ride the Nano train and bought in with all of my $1400 literally at its peak, followed by a colossal drop.

Then, I went all in on Vechain because of the upcoming rebranding, plus I originally purchased it when it was sub $3, but never kept it. Needless to say, it went down by 12%.

So currently I have $960 and I am feeling down that I am losing this battle and won't be able to stay a part of the history we are making.

I haven't bought into ETH, LTC, BTC because with my $1000 I would be getting nothing in return, even if they grew crazy. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
