Realize that Bitcoin isn’t the same as Blockchain.  Blockchain technology is something many are bullish on, but that sentiment shouldn’t be confused with being sentiment about Bitcoin specifically.  Blockchain is not Bitcoin, a company that calls itself blockchain is not the same as the technology blockchain.  The new “blockchain killer” might not be. 

This may seem like a silly question but am I able to buy and sell any and all cryptocurrency on the apps you listed?  I wish I had seen this article a lil sooner…when searching for an app I read nothing but great things about coinbase.  But it’s terrible.  Fees are absurd, I can only buy (haven’t sold any thing yet bc I’ll incur more fees when I do so I’m waiting til its REALLY worth cashing in) 5 cryptos, and I can only get alerts for 3 of those 5.  It’s awful.  I want to be able to but whats looking good without having to pay crazy flat fees PLUS surcharges and international fees.  It cost me $3 every time I buy…but I will divide my money up for the day to keep buying as it drops lower.  So if I have $500 to put it, I’ll buy $100…if it drops I’ll buy another $100 and so on.  But that will cost me $15 just to buy it.  Is there an app that allows purchases for ALL cryptos with low fees???? 

Hold some coins, range trade some coins, keep money on hand for a dip, and set some high-ball and low-ball orders.  If you want to ensure you are happy no matter which direction the winds blow, then be set-up to benefit from whatever comes next.  If you have some coins you hold, some coins you trade daily or weekly, some money set aside for a dip, and some high-ball and low-ball orders set, then you stand to benefit regardless of what happens.  It can be tempting to cash out of crypto or go all in, but both of those can be disappointing if the market goes in the opposite direction you were hoping for.  It isn’t always the most profitable move to run a strategy like this, but it can help you to gain experience and have something to be excited about in almost any market.  TIP: Note that diversifying your strategy and holdings eats into profits, but offers flexibility.  It is a trade-off. 
As you know, the focus of this guide is all about trading cryptocurrencies, but there are other ways to get a hand in the pot.  Some people choose to buy a cryptocurrency and forget about it, much like you would do with some stock in say, Amazon.  Other’s are actually investing through the stock market via the Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC).  If you are a firm believer in the future of Bitcoin, both are perfectly fine ways to go about it. 
One of the biggest draws to Binance is the super cheap transaction fees.  Since Binance are in the startup phase, the fees really are some of the least expensive out there.  Binance charge nothing for new deposits of coins onto the platform and just 0.1% on the value of trades.  To put this in perspective – if you were to use your Bitcoin to buy $100 of Ethereum, Binance would charge you 10 cents. 
AvaTrade offers phone support and allows deposits and withdrawals through multiple avenues such as credit/debit card, wire transfer, e-payments, etc.  The firm claims one-click functionality for buying Bitcoin or Bitcoin cash on its MT4 platform.  Meanwhile, Plus500 does not have phone support, and instead, services clients through live chat and e-mail.  Markets.com assists through in-platform live support and 24/5 help center. 
On the other side of the coin, decentralized exchanges (DEX) remove the middleman – meaning trading is automated and peer to peer.  They include IDEX, Waves, Bitshares, and OasisDEX.  Unlike their centralized counterparts, there is more of an emphasis on privacy here, allowing you to take further steps to protect your identity.  The “trustless environment” on these platforms is driven by smart contracts.  Although you retain 100 percent control of your cash through your own personal wallet, losing your private keys could make your funds irretrievable.

I have been using Coindex for a long time now and am constantly impressed by the time and care Josh and Cellaflora put into the project.  There is an emphasis on perfection and testing the app's features before release and this has amounted to a polished and irreplaceable part of my iPhone.  Coindex will always have a space on my dock and can't wait to see what they add next :)
Similar to investing, diversification is king.  To lower possible trading risks, it’s better to distribute your money into different cryptocurrencies.  While some grow, some will fall and by not putting all your money on single bet you can balance the losses.  That said, trading requires research and tracking changes and there are a lot of cryptocurrencies — which means a lot of research.  Start with a few and expand slowly. 
BTC saw a pump last night that only lasted about 10 minutes in terms of the significant part of the move.  Since then we have consolidated for 9 hours giving some of the move back.  This is still healthy consolidation on the 4 hour and even a potential bull flag.  Bulls are trying to hold the back test of 4 hour EMA supports.  We are still in a 4 hour lower high ...
While these rules are by no means the only lessons you need, they’re definitely a great starting point.  Sometimes, though, things are easier said than done, such as watching your portfolio value plummet and still having the iron willpower of resisting the sell button.  One of the best solutions I’ve found to this was to join a community of like-minded cryptocurrency investors.  Educated and smart crypto-traders, as well as the community members, will all be there to support your efforts and will be holding with you in the rough times.
