Basically, in trading, buying some good coins and knowing the perfect timing in trading is very important. At first, when i have an extra money i will buy some coins without analyzing the situation until i realized lately the importance of analization be familiar with the graph, know the time to buy and sell.
In my trading experience i see ethereum as my best coin but try other coins that may provide you with grater profit.
i am agree with you and this is why we need to search and analyze what coins that will give us a chance to make profit. but if we only buy the coin without doing anything, then we are risk our money and the coins can get down in anytime. sometime our analysis is wrong and the price is going down too far and if this is happen, we can only cut loss but our bitcoin can not be the same like as we bought and the second choice is we can wait for another increasing the price.
in poloniex and bittrex, i always see the price which is in down position before i decide if its good to buy or still go down. i will see the price first, if its suit with my expectation, i will buy it. in bittrex, i think there is many coin we can buy the coins like strat, adx, xcp, pkb, nxc but we need to analyze more deep so we can know the right time to buy.
There are some major elements of coins trading without that you will face a lot of difficulties in your trading and the most important element is time. Time means you can have enough time that you can give to your business and should observe the condition of the graph of your coin.
If you can follow this small tip then off course you will never face a loss because rate of coins are mostly increasing and decreasing with time. So you take a chance when the price of coin increases if you want to sale it.
