1 - Cointelligence

 

It has several features:

 

a) General Overview of the Market

 

Here you can view several altcoins. To my knowledge, they have the largest database of all altcoins. You can sort the data by price, volume, algorithm, proof type, market cap and 24h change.

 

b) Coin Specific Data

 

You can view charts and market data on a specific cryptocurrency. Useful information includes latest trades from all exchanges, forums, orders on all exchanges, advanced charts and analysis.

 

c) Coin Analysis

You can also read the latest news regarding the market as well as analysis made by chart analyst experts. The Bitcoin analysis has been particularly impressive https://www.cointelligence.com/content/analysis/bitcoin

 - Coinbase

Probably the most popular and easy-to-use exchange in the space that allows you to buy/sell Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. This is my normal go to exchange if I need to bring fiat money into the market.

 

3 -
 
 Coindera

Coindera makes it easy to monitor Bitcoin and over one hundred cryptocurrencies. You can get real-time alerts sent via email, SMS, and push notifications to your Android or IOS devices and the user interface is respons ive and attractive.



4 - Blockfolio

If you do wish to monitor your portfolio I recommend using Blockfolio. It's a mobile app available on Android and iOS that does not require an account. There is a lot of privacy speculation about portfolio management apps in general but this application seems to be on the up and up.

 

Here are the tools I use to help me trade better. Comment below other tools I missed and those that you would like to recommend.

Before selecting a wallet for NEO you must understand what you want to get from your wallet as there are a number of different wallet types to consider. Each of these offers a different level of convenience and security. For example, the hardware wallet is considered the most secure option, since it’s offline. In contrast, the web wallet is not as secure but is very convenient, as you can check your balance on any internet-connected device.

Desktop

One of the best NEO wallets available is NEON. This desktop wallet allows you to automatically claim your generated GAS when you’re holding NEO in your wallet. Available on Windows, Mac, and Linux, NEON is approved by NEO’s developers. It’s a light wallet, which means you don’t have to store a huge amount of data locally. Alternatively, there’s the official desktop wallet, NEO GUI. This will take time to sync with the whole blockchain, however, and is only currently compatible with Windows.

Hardware

 Of the main hardware wallets on the market, only the Ledger Nano S wallet supports NEO currently. This is a great option for those seeking maximum security, since a hardware wallet is offline and not vulnerable to hackers or viruses. The Ledger Nano S works in conjunction with the NEON desktop wallet and allows you to claim GAS as a result

Mobile

There aren’t many NEO wallet options for mobile. The main option is O3 which is available for Android and iOS. Both versions allow you to claim GAS and are the recommended mobile apps on the official NEO website. There’s also another NEO mobile wallet option for Android called NEO APP. This is a light wallet which is also listed on the NEO website.


Web/Online

A web wallet is one of the least secure wallet types since it’s vulnerable to hackers and often involves leaving your private keys in the hands of a third party. However, there’s no doubt that web or online wallets are convenient. You can use NEO Tracker or NEO Wallet, which are both open-source wallets. In the case of NEO Tracker, private keys are stored locally on your computer, which is safer than storing it online with a third party.

Paper

A paper wallet is as secure as a hardware wallet, but more vulnerable to wear and tear. What’s more, you can’t claim generated GAS tokens with this wallet type. One of the best options available to you is the Ansy Paper Wallet for NEO. This makes generating a paper wallet for you NEO quick and easy.
