I'm coming to this forum new today, so I hope I've followed protocol and this is the way for me to pose a question to the community.
I'm early into the crypto currency scene, trying to adapt my thinking and expectations.
I have entered into a pre ICO, with the ICO to come in mid October with a date yet to be announced. Is it usual that there is no way to release your investment into the pre ICO before the actual ICO launches?
Additionally, on the day of ICO, should one expect to see the ICO tradeable on a platform such as Bittrex? I'm keen to watch the ICO unfold and to watch the order book and assess things in the earliest possible stages. I'm happy to take small holdings in ICOs I feel good about, but I have a layer of nervousness around control during the ICO from the moment it is live.
Your insight and advice would be gratefully received.

you should allays do your homework!
0. Never invest more then you are ready to loose!
1. Read all the materials carefully;
2. Read the whitepaper few times
and try to understand the concept.
if you think you like the idea:
3. Check the supporting team that backs the project.
4. Look into the timeline of expected dedvelopment
5. be careful as if it is too good to be true, most definitely it is!
6. Never invest more then you are ready to loose!
7. Look into the contract source-code - if it is legit it must be public!
8. See what companies are supporting the project as well
9. Look if the team that runs the ICO has any other projects and try to research them to get the feel what they are capable of doing.
10. Never invest more then you are ready to loose!
This are the 10 simple steps you need to take in order to be successful in investing into ICO.
You will need to do much more actually in order to master this skill, but this is good for start
Ahh and until I have not forgotten: Never invest more then you are ready to loose!!!!
Good Luck
P.S.: Usually they do not get listed in big exchanges fast, as that costs money and they need the money for development.. (if they get listed, then this is even better)
