There is always a trading poetential in every type of market be it bull or bear. But trading is only profitable if you understand the market dynamics and can predict or speculate the coming trend using charts. But if you don't understand them at all, then trading can get you rekt. For the beginners, it is always better to buy in Q1 and sell in Q4 and thus go for a year long investment. I am preferring futures trading ATM. Shorting can still be very risky so I tend to go for longs often. But this is the risky game as exchanges who own the data of traders are manipulating price heavily an thus, stay cautious while trading.

Trading ofcourse!
And also you can check arbitrage as way to make profit with minimum risks

So I basically got fomoed. Towards the end of 2017 I saw how high bitcoin skyrocketed and decided to invest in ripple as a test. Less than one week it went up 3x. This made me more ballsy and I put in 11k total in various other alt coins like ripple, ethos, tron, and cardano. After the crash I lost about half of my value just like that. I am frustrated with the experience and wish I would have just put in 1k or something. I wish I could just not invested and went into what I was doing earlier which was just investing the boring and traditional way. Should I wait and hodl or pull out and do something else?

Go for arbitrage buddy. Its quite simple and easy way to make profit without any risks. So in few months you will be able to make your money back

The most important - not to jump in a whirlpool with the head. Beginners need to understand that everywhere there are risks. The cryptocurrency is a difficult way of earnings, but very profitable. Everything needs to be studied, to listen to councils and know what services can use and with what it is impossible.
Progress everything beginner!

While the market price value is still falling,this is the time we hold our coin and wait until it will rise high for us to have more profit.

yes this is the best way actually but when the market goes up i think day trading become more valuable on new coins.

Everyone chooses the way of earnings 
However, we consider that the arbitration between the exchanges can strongly increase the capital.
About new coins you correctly speak, the problem only to trace holes between the exchanges. But for this purpose assistants - bots with notices.
At us, for example, it is possible to add a coin at once as soon as it has appeared at the exchanges. You will precisely manage to gather the very first cream

Trade between the exchanges needs to study. And it is rather risky way to earn if you don't know as. And if you know, then it is possible to get very big profit. The complexity of trade consists only in search of holes between currencies.
Study materials, video, and later start. Also, we advise you to use boats for obtaining notices of holes

Yes, if the trade should use good tactics when buying at a cheap price and not using all the money to buy in one type of coin only.

It is very important that people understood it. Many just steep completely, I don't think even as it is correct to trade between the exchanges, investing all the money.
If it is reasonable to do everything, to watch a difference of currencies, in time to make transactions - that everything will turn out!
