This is tough. I would suggest looking through Github for some basic algotrading bot repos. This will give you a real basic foundation for strategy. Besides that, the way I learned my strategies was to sit, for hours, in front of GDAX and watch trading like television, and make all my trades manually, taking notes (incidentally, I picked up this learning method by teaching myself networking by sitting and watching tcpdump and later Ethereal/Wireshark). Once I'd developed a fairly straightforward trading strategy, I implemented it. From there, it was just iterative until I had something I felt could trade unsupervised. I still am fairly OCD about checking in on it when it's trading lots of money. Your strategy will change in interesting ways as you scale up the amount you are trading: Being an invisible small fish is pretty easy, but once you start having an effect on the price -- even in small ways, like some kind of "less small fish" -- you'll find that it also affects other traders (read: bots). Manipulating other bots is what a significant proportion of cryptocurrency trading strategies seems to be a fairly popular thing to do.
