I have some principles when trading cryptocurrencies: I won't trade when an influential person starts shilling, because manual trading can't compete with bots, and prices will likely drop after a shill wave I won't trade at the moment of news release, exchange listing, alpha, moonshot, etc. - I'll wait to see if there's potential for continued growth I won't trade when all groups are shouting about a potential takeoff, for the same reason I won't trade when I notice major players entering the market, for the same reason
