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

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 .

And Herbert2020 is right.. agreed !

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.

[blockcha1n]

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

[redhack]

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.
