When I'm starting, I spend 4-5 hours a day watching the charts because I tried to get a profit in just minutes but I see it very stressful so I stop it after a few weeks. Now I'm doing the buy and hold where I will just hold a coin until my target selling price has reached. This will give me lesser profit but it has lesser risk too. I'm not an expert trader so I'd prefer holding while doing short trades.
I like your style mate, there is no point killing oneself over what is too difficult for one, it is really not so easy to read those chart, and imagine after carefully reading those chart for hours, you then still end up making a wrong move either through entry point or exit point.
I think it is much more safer to just buy these coins and hold, we don’t have to wait till eternity to get profit like you said, once we get the little profit we can get in a short time, we can pull out to use that profit for a real life project in a mini way, then continue looking for another good dip to buy later for a long term holding.
