There are lot of videos that could simply explain to you the basics of trading in crypto market (I could share you my sources). If you wish to be good trading in crypto market, I recommend to watch videos from crypto traders rather than the traditional stock traders.

MISTAKES:
Buying before research.
HODLing for too long.
Believing on the media/news.

WHAT I LEARNED:
Always see the volume.
Buying dips is 99% success.
Technical analysis is the best.

I have been using the technique called "buying dips" it is far more safe trading, you just have to monitor (or use apps) the coin market to have a significant fall or "panic sell" moment. That time is the best to buy in and sell the moment you see it goes up (or rebuy if it continues to fall, it will never go all way down to bottom, there is always a pullback moment). This is only applicable to market with high trading volume. So do an analysis of the volume first. Volume is the key.

Meditating on crypto wont make you sleep actually, given that some of your bets are falling (from personal experience). I think HODL works for those with low-middle vlolume + low value, but for those with already high volume and value only short-term trading will work, HODLing for too long is risky. IMHO.

I would like to share this http://cryptomarketscanner.com/, it is a great tool for giving signals of positive or negative change in the market value. You could change the settings of checking period, percentage change, minimum volume, base currency and exclude coins as well. It simply runs on the browser and you can leave it in tab, gives a buzzing sound when there are markets that met your criteria(settings). Currently covers 7 exchanges but still a good use. Best of it, you can use the scanner for FREE. Good for day traders like me.
