Oh man. I suck at daytrading too, possibly a lot more than you do - even after weeks of research it just wasn't for me, I'm sorry if your first reply is less than helpful but for starters I'd suggest that you learn TA and check in to projects social media from time to time to check for any news or rumors.

I freaked out and put $75 from BTC into Litecoin.

You should never allow your emotions to make your decisions as difficult as it may be. For what its worth, tezos looks like it was a good call, im not an expert though.

Anyway, i wish you the best of luck on all your future trades!
