It's a lot to take in, but you'll have to learn most of this the hard way, through experience. I'll try to give a few pointers though. It's really important to know when not to buy than it is when to buy, keep that in mind. Avoid buying anything at all time highs, it's usually a mistake, not always but enough to make it not worthwhile. Always buy low, sell high. It's also important to understand that even though something might be down when you invest in it, you only lose money if you sell it when it's down. I've held on coins for months that tanked in price until the market recovered and I made everything back and more. Learn to avoid trading with your emotions as well, including greed and fear. Being too greedy and not selling when you're in obvious profit because you want more profit. Being fearful and selling just because something is going down in price. You MUST be logical in this space. Always do your own research and don't just listen to whatever advice someone says for you, there are many different ways you can succeed and fail in this market. It's more about protecting yourself than anything else. Hopefully some of this helps you, good luck and happy trading. <3
