What features do you look for when you pick an altcoin to increase in value? Is there a good indicator that an altcoin will do well?

First, it is necessary to identify if the currency solves real-world problems, because in this case the currency has the potential to attract more serious investors. But it is not enough to analyze the proposal, it is necessary to study the team, it is also necessary to verify if the technology is something innovative, that has been little explored before and able to do things that other cryptocurrencies do not.

The first thing I check is, if there is an innovation and an actual need for that in the market.
Then I have to check the developer's baackgroud, skills and attitude.
Finally I have to see some actual development i.e. testnet before I throw what I consider big money.
P.S. Supply, premine, collected funds and marketing are always important

It's simple when I see that the coin has the potential and its market cap is promising and on the top 100. I'll pick them.

And also I do background checking for their developers and as well the plans for their road map.

So if they have a very good plan and road map, I'll pick them too.

First is the composition of the team, are they good enough to deliver what they promised,
Second, is the idea they team is trying to work on, is it just a pipe dream or a workable one, is the project going to suffer from funding and the timeline to deliver the project.

I don't think value is the main thing for me before investing. I normally want to know the background of the coin and the owners background because currently we see so many scam coins out there who show fake mining results and run a ponzi scheme.
If you are looking to invest in any altcoin I would recommend you to try xmr as it gave me good returns.

only profit. and trust me when i say 99% of others around here are also like this, looking for profit which means more bitcoin which in the end translates into more fiat in their pocket after trading.
you can't find much else around here in altcoins world with people only trying to catch a pump before the peak and make a quick 50 to 100% profit in  a couple of hours and get out.
so many don't even look at the coin itself, they just know a name or worst an acronym :D

First know the team of the altcoin if they are transparent and sincere to their community, second their project it is achievable or attainable. Then check their road map plan, where the crowdfund or fund goes, then the team of the coin must be updated to their investors.

Like Mark from Gox or Paul from Cryptsy or Alex from Mintpal ?
They all seemed sincere didn't they ?

You all NEVER learn  ::)

The word is EXCHANGE .

1)   Does the creator have experience in the crypto world
2)   Are they following their plan and hitting deadlines
3)   Are they bring anything new to the crypto space

the most important factor is the community support. if there is a good community for that coin and users are supporting it, then be sure that when that coin hits the market there will be a big demand for it and will cause a rise and this rise can cause more rises and more community support for a good while.

Im looking at active devs even after the coin was being established for long time. Continous developments and plan are being held at regular basis. And of course, if the volume is active and have an interesting volatility day by day.

Im not looking to any indicator since altcoin investment is really risky.

Main figures I look at are size of community (or general support of the coin), trading volume and unique features.

It has to be no premine, offer something new for blockchain technology, community is important but not my priority. If the coin is promising then community will grow over time. Developers must be honest and knows what to do, they have to be problem solver and successful in their main area. Price must be reasonable, no overvalued. Basically these are the things I look for before investing.

Vocal community, definitive and practical mission statement (stay away from the coins that swear they'll change the world), prime memes all are good indicators of potential profit. Maturity of the coin and personalities backing/running it are also important variables to look at. Current/potential future exchanges highly effect price, too.

Inusually only used alt coin as trading tool, bht if a alt coin really want to compete with bitcoin, the coin need to have a useful feature that really different from other coin, some coin got a good feature like fast confirmation and focus on the anonymity, but there are not a lot of alt coin users maybe that is one of the reason there are no alt coin that really booming and can compete with bitcoin

I first see the roadmap of the altcoin because if the coin has the projects to do then only the coin will run in long time,

1. Team (background, motivation, ability to weather hard times to get shit done)
2. Idea (Market potential, why does it have to utilize a [Suspicious link removed]petition)
3. UI/UX (Crypto is notoriously difficult to appreciate and understand how to use)
4. Technology (Do they have something that would take time to copy)

the replies i read here aren't what i can see to those ico participants, most of them are there to profit after the launch. if the dv released the coin right after and list the coin in exchange, more than 80% of the early investors jump up so high while sending their coins to the exchange. all are aiming to dump their coins along with the bonuses they've got for being and early investor.

this same thing, but i also look at the dev if he is very active, an idiot or he is MIA, if the latter i just avoid investing anything in that coin, i know for fact that without a proper dev support any coin will not last

If it's a new one then first i would look into the team, their motivation and ability. Then the innovation of the coin, the plan wheter it's doable or not and the community's response to it. If it's an alt-coin which already being on some exchange then first thing i would look into is the trading volume. If the trading volume is quite high then i would consider investing in it.
