Altcoins is more profitable than bitcoins because it can x10 easily + the rise of value of bitcoin means you can get a higher profit when holding an altcoins but more risky that's why you can see if bitcoin rises altcoins will dumped due to switch in USD/BTC of traders and if investors put their Btc into alts they can earn another profit then add up your profit in Btc.

Because holding is the safest way than short trading if you see the market has a red days better to hold than to expect to buy it more in the dippest stage we didn't know the movement of the market, For professional traders short trading are good and gives you a good profit but it's hard to predict what's going on the market so if you're just a small trader better to hold it and be patience, Trading is unpredictable and it is like a gambling.

SELLING their coins now is only for the weak hands and it's not right time to sell your coins because i think this is the last dump stage of many coins on the market and it will comeback soon maybe on last week of february or first week of march the best way to safe your capitals are to HODL it and wait for a good pump in every dump there's a very good pump so don't lose hope that Crypto will destroy due to FUDs what if you sell your coins now and after that the price will comeback? So you lose some capitals and profits.

You're not sure if bitcoin will goes down more because $7000 per Bitcoin is very dip in bitcoin All Time High last few months so that is very risky that you buy more in the very dip stage $7000 is very safe entry to invest more in BTC rather than waiting for it to dump more what if tomorrow or other next few days bitcoin will goes up and the dip stage that you waiting are not happen anymore? so you will FOMO and buy it for high price like $8000 - $9000? If you're not sure that bitcoin will dip more go buy now.

Short term trading is just for experienced trader and Long term trading is for beginners must good to try long term first because it has no hassle, Short term trading are risky for beginners because you didn't know that movement of that coin unlike in long term you just leave your coin a long months or year then sell it when you're comfortable, I tried that when im beginner in trading i do short trades then i lose 30% of my capital because i didn't ride accurately in the movement of the coin and panicking is there in short trades.

The most important things to do in trading altcoins are reading news about crypto world on what happening on the market and read news about coin you want to buy be a analyzer and take time to read incoming good and bad news in BTC.
I give you an example on how to read if the coin is going for dump or pump, Im not a professional trader but i'll give you some basic tips on how to make a good trade.
1. Read articles in the crypto websites and follow famous professional bitcoin traders, When you see in the articles that they have a good news in bitcoin so it will pump it's sure that altcoins are going to dump (but not all the time).
2. If you read news about coin (For example XRP will add more supplies in the market) this scenario is possible that xrp will fall down due to adding more supplies and if (if XRP Developers will escrowed some $1,000,000 USD for xrp) it will pump and many investors will attract to buy it due to adding more funds.
3. But if you have no time to research about that and the only thing you can do are watch coins to trade on exchange look for BUY and SELL wall, If the BUY wall are thick like "30BTC order placed" it has more chance that coin will not go dump because it has a protection to dumpers/sellers.
4. Try to learn to read candlesticks watch on youtube and learn Fibbonacci.
Happy trading i hope i give you some little information on how to make a good trade this tips are not 100% sure but for me it will give you more chance to be a successful trader

Im not expert in advising when using salary for daily plan and investments but i can give you a little tip in my own opinion.
60% of your salary - Use it for your daily needs like buying foods and etc.
15% of your salary - Use it for your investment like bitcoin or altcoins, Don't put all of your salary into investment because that is too risky just a small amount like 15% it depends on you 15% below.
20% of your salary - Use it for your need like buying Clothes, Shoes and other needs or for entertainment but better to save it for your future.
For me that is the way of plan im using when i get my job salary.
