C&P from Luc
If you want to make huge gains on your money you need to be trading in markets that give big "percentage" swings. There are plenty of markets that make great swings, but start thinking in percentages. If you find a crypto currency that is swinging 50-100% in a few days, and has enough volume to support some decent size buy and sells, that's where you want to trade. That's where the money can be made easy..I cannot stress this enough: there is sooo much potential for huge gains in new cryptocurrencies, but you have to cherry pick the right ones, the ones that have good volume and big
swings.
Personally I love panics. That's where some big news comes out and the stock/cryptocurrrency dives huge for a few hours, or days, then usually makes a 50% rebound. The best trading enviroment is where there is a lot of disagreement and surprise news.
A trader can make much much more than a typical buy and hold investor. Even if the investor is right on with his prediction, the trader will always win.
