Untill now I was trading only with bitcoin and fiat, and at there the profit was much lower (but was enough), now after the emergence of some new coins like Yocoin, LIR and wave I started to trade with altcoins also , and there I got a much better and faster profit.

LIR is really a high profiting altcoin, its price is increasing with a high speed and if you buy some amount of LIR and hold then for a month you will double up your money with it, I have experienced that in the previous month.

The best advice is to manage risk carefully, Crypto is -by general financial rules- a very high risk investment, altcoins are even crazier. Use a reputable exchange like Bittrex or Poloniex, choose and research carefully what do you want to trade, and manage your risks and assets with caution.

Apart from these things, the only prime decider for your life with altcoin trading must be your strategy to follow for making profits.
There are lot of practical difficulties with altcoins due to the availabilty of so many coins. We need to choose a stable coin for better profits with them.

i think eth and steem are the best over the past 4 weeks specially eth down to 0.014 then in two days up to 0.023 then to 0.0144 again now it is 0.02 ,game play

My experience is to buy a good coins at reasonable price and wait for it to reach the sell order even you wait one month forward .

How do you know which is a good coin? how to differentiate it with shit coins and what is the right time to sell?

Hi

As All we know that trading is the best way to make and earn extra income of BTC , But many of noob enter this world without experience !!
So i will start by my self .
i don't have much experience to share but here is mine :

- i use bittrex for trading bitcoin to alt coin -(Better to use only trusted exchange with a huge no of sellers\buyers )
- I always look at the thread of the coin that i am going to buy .
- i am not greedy so small profit is good for me per day.
- Just follow other - for a short time only (Demand)
waiting for your experiences and advises .

Thanks

firstly i must be said that trading is not best way to earn bitcoin,however trading have risk. and maybe the best way to earn bitcoin is joing signature campaign and doing it very well.
i'm also use bittrex sometime,but i prefer to use poloniex now,that always good if we looking for information about altcoin before start trading.

Here's my 5 tips to you in trading BTC-Altcoin

1. Don't be in a hurry. Some alt coins take a day or two before they rise depending on the demand.

2. Don't be such a coward. Trading is like gambling. If you don't have the guts to risk some of your BTCs, then don't enter trading.

3. The worst thing that can happen to you is buy at the top of the pump, and sell at the bottom of the dump.

4. Don't trust the people in the trollbox/chatbox.

5. Don't invest all your bitcoins in a single alt coin.

the most important thing in trading is that you should try and stay away from getting hyped. especially when you hear on the forum about a coin that is good and they tell you to buy it because it is going up. they say this because they have sell orders that want you to buy from it.

the only tip I have for newbies, is that just be aware with alt coin exchanges.

most know the whole cryptsy incident, if not it should checked out. And thats a known alt coin exchange for 3 years now which flipped. So understand to convert back to btc whenever much as possible to avoid that scenario.

There is nothing so hard as an art. One needs to be in close observation about the rising altcoin. This would help you to grab the right coin using bitcoin and earn the profit. Alts will rise up at some instances, so profit can be earned only at those time.

TIPS: new added tip to the art of trading :
Never go\buy a coin when it hits poloniex or such a big exchange in the first week specially the first day of trading . it will go very high then loosing profit is expected .
Example : VOX & DCR

Really i appreciate this advice i traded vox in poloniex at price of 0089 SAT look at the market today it is now 3+ SAT .
i lost some btc but thanks god it was not a big investment again lesson learned.
it is better to buy cheap coins before listed there.

Yes same think happen to me, but its now 2-3 days and price of vox seems to be stable for this week, i will wait 1-2 more days without selling any of my vox and when price seems to be stable with good 24 hour volume, i will buy as much as i can. I am sure vox will do same second pump aagain like AMP have done before.

I use YoBit at the moment since that is where I get my btc for trading (see signature campaign)
I'm planning to put more btc to bittrex and poloniex

Yobit has many coins and it is very difficult to use from web-design side not as bittrex & poloinex . Actually you can also gain profit from trading in yobit ,easy one . now i am trading post\bios in yobit buy 147 selling not yet price 300 now.

i agree the charts there and the timestmps are not so good and not enough information on there either but it is not just about the design of yobit it is mostly because there are a lot of coins there that do not have the minimum amount of volume to be considered active.
only 4-5 coins are active there.

Yobit is only for small volume traders. Most markets there don't have enough liquidity.

If you want to buy/sell larger amount, you should go Poloniex or Bittrex instead.

A thorough research into the prices of the altcoins for the past six months will give a fair indicative of the most promising coin. Buy when it is low and sell as soon as you see that you can make some profit, else it might dip.

For promising coin it is better to buy them when the prices & coin in red ,more decreasing in red more profit will be gained in near future if have patience take ETH price for example in past weeks
Thanks
