1. Regularly read Bitcointalk forum
2. Check coinmarketcap.com for current real coin values
3. Check coinmarketcap.com history of coin you are interested in
4. Check the ANN thread of the coin on Bitcointalk
5. Many coins have their own blogs/ forums you need to follow to be up to date
6. At start choose coins that are already established and stable
7. Make yourself a portfolio of 3 - 5 coins for start
8. Do not jump in ongoing coin pumps, you never know when it will dump.
9. Make yourself a strategy for coins you will long term invest and maybe 2 gamble coins that are more risky but offer higher profit.
10. I recommend starting with Bittrex I cannot recommend Bittrex anymore because they need to verify your IDENTITY in order to let you withdraw BTC and alt coins.
11. Do not instantly sell your coins if they dumb instantly for no obvious reason ( research why)
12. At the beginning its better to aim for small profits like 5% - 10% +
13. Always keep some BTC to react when needed (buy)
14. Start slowly, take your time. 2 month in research and observation is recommended.
15. Always reinvest a share of your profit in your favorite coins and use a share of profit to gamble
16. Do not jump instant in new coins with big investment. If it looks promising to you start low and follow the progress.
17. If you advance and make good experience you could start to invest in icos, but watch out lots of scam around.
18. Pull out some % in USD from your profit from time to time.
19. Control your emotions when the prices is going up or down.


* Additional Tips from community members:

20. Never be emotional in your trading. Be objective! (thx to @Investor for the tip)
21. I also advice that when you already developed a good trading strategy, you stick into it and keep your discipline  (thx to bamboylee for this tip)



Good luck!

IMO, the rest doesn't matter. The most important thing is not chart analysis or even trying to anticipate a pump in the coin. Invest in what you believe in. Also, invest in an active dev team that has great ideas and is constantly updating their code.

Buy into an altcoin only if you're ready to hold it for 6+ months. Don't buy if you're only in it for the short term as you'll probably lose out on a lot of profits if the price does go up. Patience is key with the altcoin markets.

i would also like to say again how important it is to take profits. I investet in some good ones very early (NEO; ARK;PAY, usw.) but  got to greedy and didnt take some nice profit and then reinvested later.
We live and learn

Cheers

Trading is a game of patience  those who does not have patience in trading they will end up in loss this is the most important tip I am telling you. Always check the real market price from coinmarketcap .com. Always trade with genuine exchanges. Do not trade when you see coin price is rising aggressively do not touch that coin because that can be a fake movement & always trade top 20 coins that would be less risky for you and be active on bitcointalkforum.
