i trade high volume coins, and i buy cheao volume coins, that i hold when they get a pump, most of the time these cheap coin are very easy to pump and give you an extraordinary return up to 10x, high volume coin are good for daily trading because they are very stable, like ETH zcash and LBRY, and they also get a nice 2x pump

If you want to get instant opportunity then look around announcement and see which project have largest number of pages created in small time span. Then look deeply what is all about and how really good looks. After that comes further investigation mentioned earlier-> volume of trade , market cup, PR..

I really want to know how daily traders decide which coin to buy and when to sell, i dont know, do you read some news about coin or its just gamble?

The first thing to look at is the volume of coins to be purchased. The more volume then the transaction traffic there is very big and indicate many people who transact there. After that just see how the lowest price to determine the price we will buy, for sales see what the highest price and there we save the selling price. Determine the proficiency and avoid greedy for big profits. The most important thing every day we profit though not maximal.

I suggest getting into a special thread about trading, there will be a lot of important information about how to analyze a coin.

Just try to get the sentiment of the coin, I mean about the sentiment data from the every coin such as the latest development of the coin. The best time to buy the coin if there will be a big correction and all of the coin getting a massive dump.
But as far as i know, you can try to get your sentiment data through following the troll box, official announcement thread or the social media.
You will be needed a lot of resources to make your sentiment data with high accuracy.

All you have to do is look out for new coins to the market and normally the price is low at inception and wait for price pump up and sell off after reasonable profit.

Maybe you had chance to look for good tutorials on YouTube or elsewhere, and in 90% of cases i have found only garbage for beginners, few hours of wasted time.My proposition for you as a newbie ,lurk and follow one or few legendary members..what they are doing and where they are investing..Maybe even to give them a small *tip for advice's.

It's a great strategy, I also do the same thing watching a video does not make me understand. Acquainted with senior trader I think a good idea. Real learning from experience is better. I have done it but many seniors are arrogant and stingy giving experience. Perhaps by dividing a little money as their services would be happy.

You are probably right, many of them won't help for free, but some kind of agreement would be helpful. Maybe such deals can be open in services so both side can talk about experiences and can confirm sucess or else..
But i think many will help for free, and you can send them as much as you wish as a tip.

I take the long term approach, it's a lil hard at the moment since nearly every coin has been pumped, but i definitely see a few with nice potential for a 2-5x in the near future. About 3-4.

Look for coins that have a low market cap (I like sub 100m) and abnormally high volume. Check to see if the price has been rising and note the previous highs of the last peak. Look for slow price building upwards with healthy ups & downs, as price continues to grow more people will catch on and it will take fire.

Try to figure out worse case scenario (say it breaks below it's 1 year low) as well as your best case scenario (75% of last peak works, or 50%, which is pretty conservative). If you can make at least 1 risk to 4 reward, take the trade, this leaves you open to massive gains if the coin actually breaks new highs, as well as a "cut and run" area to take profits in case it doesn't do what you're expecting.

It doesn't work every time, but I definitely have made way more than I lose taking small losses here and there on random coins.

PS - don't dick around with any coin that has a dead dev team, unproven new technology (maid, looking at you), or that is basically only created as a copy & paste. I have a strict rule of only playing with coins that have some form of use.

Don't invest in ICO's, sure there's money to be made there, but I'd rather buy a coin after it's been proven useful & in working order. Our job as traders is to make as much money as possible for the least amount of risk. It's better to wait until the market prices the coin & starts trading, this saves you from the hassle of bugs, unknowingly investing in vaporware, or buying a coin for a price when the market values it at much less.

Good luck!

 I don't

 I just tell my GUNBOT to run whatever coin I want and hopefully it makes profit. So far it has, hopefully it will keep profiting in the future as well. This way, I don't have to know anything about prices or research or charts, basically I can just set it up and go sleep, I know a person who bought gunbot ONE DAY after he learn what bitcoin is, he still makes profit to this day thanks to it.

 The trick is not to do that much research, the trick is to do SMART research. Studying 10.000 hours for something in a wrong way can't surpass studying 100 hours in a much greater way.

Does anybody use keyword research tools, Google analytic s? Maybe this can gave us clue and give some perspectives about where trends are going. Even better limit those investigation on Bitcointalk and maybe few other destinations..
Also number of retweets, likes if it is realistic, can help (Probably thousands are faked, hundreds are more likely to be true)

Hello arbitrage, I consistently check google trends for the keyword I am looking at investing in. Recently I have checked "Reddcoin", "Verge Currency" and "ArtByte" before i invested in the coin on the theory that increasing google trend searches would be a leading indicator of increasing price. There might be a correlation based on what I have observed so far.

Hello BitWhale, I enjoyed your post. You sound very knowledgeable. I agree and believe market cap is one of the key indicators of currency valuation along with development strength. I check github for the coin before investing and look at the activity, number of commits and number of contributors. By the way I sold out of Maidsafe shares since the investment was dead money. I sold Maidsafe and allocated the capital into Siacoin which has done much better.   

I find worldcoinindex.com very helpful to identify laggard coins which have not yet been pumped by the wolves investing in crypto.

Daily traders?

Use the strategy daily trading getting profit from trading daily, you must choose the altcoins that has huge fluctuation of price
 the altcoins that has huge fluctuation price is ethereum especially daily fluctuation,
 you have to use large capital to trading ethereum due to one ethereum is around $230 you can calculate the capital
it is not nice for the traders who doesn't have many capital.

well considering how past pace will happen into a day with eth i guess its a guts that will bring you there and support that coin, moving to your question Op i usually look around here and check which coins have a lots of speculation thread open and try to check those replies and see of same thing happens inside the trading site, buy low and sell high which is very common wait until the pump happen within a day maybe 10-20% would be enough growth.

all anyone has to do right now is buy something semi alive and wait for it to pump. why waste your time doing actual research? it won't last though.

Also you must look upon this forum and make different kind of processing of information, you must mix few analyzes to get more accurate result. Do not never rely only on one tactic, this is can be dangerous. Google analytics will return you only results made by typing in a search box of Google, which is only a part of this investigation.
Leading indicators are tricky, and they are changing shapes, sometimes this is announcement, block halving.. Try to find as much as you can to be sure.

I do quite a bit of charting, this is the most effective on the high volume coins. ou can use the same principals as tracking stocks with the understanding of increased volatility. I like to use trading view in order to track price fluctuations and volume
