In the beginning honestly I just got into what I thought had a place or seemed to peak my interest. I know I read a lot about XRP and really like it but did not see it going over 1$ so i sold when it was at a standstill. I do look at the charts that @haejin puts out and his work seems to be solid. Honestly I still do not read the charts but research the technology and information I can find on them before I buy. I have never traded stocks so Charts are a whole new ballgame and I will be working on that this year so I can make predictions. Hope this helps
