My way isnt necessarily best in fact its probably far from it but i just fot btc to altcoin trading and vice versa. Once my bitcoin is in an altcoin i just assume that bitcoin is now lost and trade that until i cxan either take out a profit or its gone. I dont like to do fiat to btc trades because i dont like the idea of getting locked out of bitcoin by trading at the wrong time and to me it seems like you need to have to much bitcoin in order to do fiat to btc and vice versa.
Altcoin market is more difficult to predict, also it's easy to manipulate, although you have a capital to trade btc/fiat there's possible it's not worth, unless you choose a good altcoin with you have been followed the trends.
all of that is true but these things being true also means the altcoin market can be that much more profitable. when a price is manipulated, also known as pump and dumps you can get in prior to the pump and then get out prior to the top to gain a very good amount of profit out of it. the only hard part is that you should be watching all the signals.
Although the dumping and pumping of the coin is so small if you have a lot of funds you can earn a big money from that.
