I will suggest you first start with small trades until you become more knowledgeable and calm.
Thats a good heads up for a newbie. I guess having 1-3% of profits every day or every other day is always advisable because that eliminates the risk of getting hampered with the loss. Over the time crypto currencies can be too volatile and they are already so you never know when your trade will turn upside down at what time.
If you really want to gain money then this is the right way to do it. People always think that 1-3% is nothing but if calculated then over a month that would be 90-100% of your investment. Thus whooping huge % profit if you keep doing the compounding investment.
