Once you are well informed about the coins you want to invest in you have a good chance to make some profit.
Key is ofcourse buying low selling high, but how can you achieve this.
Personally I focus on reading related articles and also attending to meetings.
While trading I use some free software as a reference, it predicts the future markets of several coins. www.cryptoforesight.org
Trading will always be somewhat unpredictable, but by doing some research before investing you can make some money
