Patience -- and, not using all your dry powder! :) In other words, try to keep a percentage "in reserve" and don't make trades with it -- that way, you'll be able to take advantage of quick moves, like the TRX yesterday -- I captured 60% of its movement, which is awesome for a couple hours.
I'm actually thinking that if BitConnect and similar competitors do this type of trading, then it is entirely possible that they aren't scams. Still, not trying them again!
