Hello all, I am engaged in trading and I am often asked by beginners how to trade long-term or short-term strategy.
For beginners, I would advise you to trade long-term, but such trade does not suit impatient people, sometimes you have to wait a very long time, a couple of months, and maybe a year, and sometimes even more.
This strategy has a number of advantages, especially for beginners.
1. Compared to intraday trading, you do not need to be in front of a computer and watch the price 24/7, so the trader experiences less emotional stress.
2. Only when using long-term trading, it is realistic to take above 100% of the profit from 1 deal. With intraday strategy, this is hardly possible (except that a miracle will happen).
3. Unlike intra-day trading, you do not need to be a professional, enough to have basic knowledge.

Why I recommend this strategy. Based on personal experience, I often sold coins for example + 30% and literally in a week could sell + 100%.
You can also put a stop loss when the price is + 30%,and move the stop as the price increases.

This is my opinion, I do not force you to adhere to this strategy, study trading if it interests you and find your strategy.
I hope someone helped, If you have any questions, ask always happy to help.. Good luck!BTCBTC

i also do mostly long-term hodling or trading, removes the short-term noise from mkt volatility, then it's up to ur skill to evaluate the tokens based on their fundamental strength.

Especially now when the market falls, trading intraday is not the best idea. If  need to trade, you need a lot of experience and knowledge in trading.

long term trading we can make profits for future growth and holding potential coins profits will be huge when we see the results most of the top crypto coins are long-term coins

talk about long-term trading, in the sense that we make a profit for the future. and of course we who hold a potential profit on tokens or coins, from some of the top crypto coins it is a long-term token.

I am an impatient person, if told to hold for too long I can not, and I am a day trader.And have to earn profit every day .. Although a little but a long time will also be a lot.

if you want get much profit you must hold long term
because crypto curency price up and down is very high

Simply putting, the market is unpredictable and the price of cryptocurrencies keeps flutuating, so it best to enage in long term trading. This is just the best method of trading that helps you make profit with much lost. If you keep on selling and buying with the way the price of bitcoin has been unstable. You might end up lossing all your capital and then will start blaming it on cryptocurrency.

One of the great things of holding for long term is that you can take a lot of time to make your decisions, when it comes to short term trading you have only a matter of minutes to decide whether you want to buy a coin or not but when you are holding for the long term you can take weeks or months analyzing a single coin to see if it is the right investment for you.

Long-term trading is suitable for new entrants into the market, not much experience. Because when you invest long term, you should only invest in crypto top 2 in that market is BTC and ETH. After investing you hold at least a year and not care about exchange rate fluctuations in the market, then surely you will have a high profit.

Not really, there are lot of people earned a lot in day trading. What do you mean cryptocurrencies price up and down is very high?

And you could lose a lot too in short time.

Maybe you are right! New traders which they didn't have a good experience in trading, it will be good for them to make a long term investment in BTC or ETH, for sure they will make a good profit no matter the point of buying. If we see what happened to ETH and BTC in the later years, we can confirm that each year, these two crypto increases very high, so it will be a very good investment with a high chance of making profit.

Long term trading is suitable for everyone it does not matter if you are a newbie or a very experimented person in the market since that gives the best profits, those that think that day trading is better are only focusing in the potential profits they can get not realizing that only a minority of traders get anything close to the profits they dream.

Long term trading or long term hodlers are always the winner here in the cryptoworld. Especially if you can go full time here in crypto and it less much stress doing your trade. But if you are willing to go full time here I suggest you can do short term trade and mid term because it will be more profitable but for me I very fine with long term trading.

yes, long term trading is good as you hold the right cryptocurrencies
but, if you hold a shitcoins in long term. thats mean you will lose your money and your time my friend

they both have their own ups and downs when it comes to trading, as the OP stated beginners must go for a long-term trading first to gain more experience and knowledge before engaging into a short-term if they want to trade but they must also remember that not all of the crypto out there is worth to hold for long-term purposes they must distinguish it.

With the spate of downward movement in the crypto market I don't think any one has any choice. Just buy your coin and go sit down. When the market begins to recover you will be glad you did. Bitcoin and Ethereum are good for long term investment and don't take things for granted.

Absolutely agree with all the above points mentioned.I found it the hard way.Tries to.day trade some.tokens to make profits and ended up FOMOing in and lost some tokens .

Long-term trading is the right choice for beginner traders and people who have limited assets for investment. I agree with you the possibility of profit generated above 100% can be achieved. This strategy is good enough to be implemented in crypto world because of the complicated market

Long term trading is better than day trading because even if a coin is in upward trend, in the short term it can fluctuate so you make loss but if you trade long term, you don't lose money because of daily fluctuations.

You are right! Long-term trading can be very profitable as long as you review the fundamental analysis of the token. Will it last ? what is the strength of the cryptocurrency you are trading. Just knowing this can leads to a profit in a long term trading.

I absolutely agree. I also started with long-term trading and successfully, despite a little experience. Over time, I began to learn more and now I try to engage in daytrading.

big pressure, longer bear time? https://www.coingecko.com/en

You absolutely made a lot sound point here in my opinion though, especially the advice for the beginners, it's completely difficult starting trading as beginner with a day trading, his portfolio will be under a spell of losses before he learns well

If any newbie find the potential coin then he need to hold it for long term because then he will learn how efficient the trading. Mean while holding period he can learn some new things about the market whether to hold them or sell them.

It has always been proven by big time investors that long-term trading is more profitable than doing day trading. The fees alone can feed on your funds on every trade you make. Cost-averaging method is the most effective way in a volatile market like in crypto. Accumulate more during every dip, and take profit every once in a while when you hit your target price/goal.

There is no concept of a "day" in my trades.  I buy at historical lows and I set sell orders.  When the sell orders hit their price, they automatically sell.  Those who only hold long term waste the potential of their money.  I try to do both.  It's best if you have enough to keep some of the coin out of the sell orders, to get those long term gains.

For me that only depends on coin that you want to invest cause if this coin is from first 10 from market you could be sure that in some way it could go up, even after long time but coins which price is not even 1$ and their possition on market is far far away from for example etherum could make you thinking that in longer time it will be mystery cause it could lost it's value or be a suprise and increase its value 2/3/4 or more times.

I agree that long-term trading is less stressful. But it is also less profitable

short-term trading for a newcomer will be a very flawed move I think that first of all I should try to be an investor in the long run for the better definition of the market.

Why did you take that it is less advantageous?
Day trading can only  profitable if you are a professional and this is not a fact.
I can keep a month coin and get as much profit as in day trading and spend less time and nerves.

I completely agree with you, because your tactics of action are really more suitable for a professional. There is no point in daily trading, if prices do not change, or is at a disadvantage.

We should hold our investment instead of selling it because of the loss that we can have. The drop down or falling of the market value of electronic coins in the cryptocurrency are normal scenario.

I'd prefer to hold coins than short time trading because there is a world of pump and dump whales . Always in every week there is a pump and dump.
Hope that in one day all cryptos will be back at moon

Personally, I trade tokens of projects that I know (known or bounty in which I participated). If you follow the token, you can observe the patterns and anticipate small (and sometimes large) price movements. But there are necessarily long-term tokens, this is the rule of trading.

it's realistic because long-term trading can now be an option where we do not have to look at trades every day, and we can trust that long-term trading can make a huge profit than daily trading. this is my opinion.

which I see is a lot of people use long-term trades then I am sure with the long term that the current price of altcoin in the recovery period can be profitable and that I know with the long run we can get a good profit for the future

by investing long-term because everyone wants the risk of losses that can be small unlike short-term investments with big risks. but with a note if you want to make long-term investments to pick coins that have a good potential in raising prices, in order to earn a substantial profit later.

Long Term Trader is not hassle to us. Imagine, we just buy the coins we want and wait for the price to reach our expected goals. That is better than a day trader wherein he needed to have an update regarding to the price of the tokens, every hour and every minute.
Long Term Trader can also find a job that will support his family needs. Sometimes, long term traders are the one who have stable job and make the trade as part of their investment and sideline.
Being a day trader is good but becoming a long term trader is much better.

long term trading is better for people who do not expert in trading like me because long term trading have a smaller risk than day trading. as long as I hold a good coins, I do not worry about losses. I just need the time to get a lot of profit but long term trading can't be as a work because it need a long time to make money.

Nice and helpful overview. But I cannot agree at one point that is Unlike intra-day trading, you do not need to be a professional, enough to have basic knowledge. I think to do intra day trading, traders have to be more careful and calculative in taking decision otherwise, they might loose their all capital.

The problem is that with long-term trading, your funds are actually frozen, you can not use them and miss the chance to make money on other promising coins. I still think that people need to divide their investments. For example, 70% for long-term trade, 30% for a short-term trade.

Long term trading is one of the most fantastic ways to earn easy money. All you have to do is to keep waiting until the market is in the boom condition. If you invest for long term, your portfolio will grow in worth and will carry on a whole history of the rise in prices which is what every investor would love. On the other hand, short term trading bears just an incremental rise in the prices of the coin you hold and not all the rise that occurs. The ratio of profit in long term is greater than that in short term.

i think its just as the same method but what make it different was only how much time we spent on those coin.
for example we invest 1 btc and in a year we got profit more than 100% and then in the other side we invest 1 eth and then in just 1-3 months we catch for 25% or more.

its all about the risk, i'd prefer to long term actually, because day and short term investment is more risky.

In addition to the volatility of the prices of the coins, crypto and blockchain technology are still young and this is giving more profit opportunities. I think it is a big probability that these currencies might bring great profits by holding in a near future.

I prefer long term trading for a couple of reasons. For one thing, it’s hard to time the quick swings in the market needed to be successful in short term trading and it requires a lock of work and time. Secondly, for US citizens, the tax implications are much better if you hold long term than if you trade short term. Plus you have to tack all of your trades for taxes which means it’s a lot simpler if you have fewer trades.

I feel your strategy is very right. Because I'm a long-term investor. I do not like day trading because it is very time consuming and tiring.
I believe in the good future of the Crypto market. Because it offers a great service to everyone in the world. I do not believe the market will go down, it will recover soon!

in the long term investment required patience. many people would say that was weird as Crypto die and such. However, still holding the coin becomes an option that must still be done. the potential crypto every year and always have a very nice improvement. who were the basis of reference to an investment in the long term.

I agree with you, that being an advantage in long-term trading is that we can be more relaxed and not like day trading that has to look at price movements every day.

if you want get much profit you must hold long term
because cryptocurrency price up and down is very high

Good day! I do small trades too. Just leaving them on trading sites and visit them everyday. No rush to sell but once they hit my orders that would be 50-80% profit. Then I buy back again and wait for the dump. Some coins are predictable to trade.

This is a good reason and explanation for beginners. Trading is not as pleasant as anyone could think about. Trading is a complex thing to do. Even myself, I have been here for more than a year and still I am not engaging in day trading. I always do long term investment and is picking a strong coin in order to lessen the risk at hand.

One way or another, I'll be engaging in day trading and research is crucial to be a great trader.

Timing is very important in trading and in investing long term but its really hard to predict the price but it is still possible to do so. Long term trading is much safer compare to day trade because you have time to wait for the price to go up or down and enter the market.

I can imagine the long term trading if someone bought BTC at $20'000... Should he really do long term trading?
The most important thing is to buy at a low price and sell at a higher price.

I agree . I trade both in long and daytime trading. And I know that day trading is very complicated and takes away a lot of time and nerves, especially with such a market. Therefore, beginners advise long-term trading.
I like day trading but to start trading beginners need experience.

Long term is traiding,its holding.12h+chart if only maybe.But missing tons of good opportunties if done so.

Day trading is risky ,
The market could go down for about a day or a week then recovers or go higher after a month,
So for me it is better to do a long term trade rather than a risky day trade with just a small profit.

I also like long term holding, because you pick some bags where you know that the project will have a future and you relax this bag without any worries. You also don't have to be in front of your computer!

I don't have much time for daily trading so I just set my profit goal in the exchange. I prefer long term hodling because I do most believe on the project that would able to climb the value. Before you decides on long term hold make sure that you are certain with the coins you will invest.

because short term trade is not a good idea when the market is not stable. especially if you do not have knowledge about trade, it just makes you lose your money. so the best choice for now just long term trade.

I think in short term we cannot make much money about it. I have experienced to hold them for short term compared long terms, in these two I am making more money through long term compared to short term.

Many make mistakes and lose money. The best way to trade in the long term. Beginners 90% lose their money if they try to trade themselves.

yes, but we also need to filter and choose the right coin for long-term trading, because there's also a coins which even if we invest for long-term trading, the fluctuations of those coins are high, this will cause, the long-term trading has no much affect profit in this one.

We can make. But short-term or day trading require much more attention and professional skills. Not all traders can do same. That's why day trading is so difficult. And long-term or investment is some easy.

Intraday trading is very difficult, but it brings good profits. For beginners, yes it does not work, but it's not worth forgetting that it's profitable too.

Honestly, the profit will be very important when you trade in a long term ( better than short term ) especially for cryptocurrencies who has an acceptable value Market cap ( more than 2 Billion Dollars ) and a weak price ( less than $  2 ) and the best example of this is Ripple (XRP ) despite that the widespread crisis in the market ,  their current  value of market cap is 23 Billion dollars  and their price is less than $ 0.6.

On the other hand, due the market in a total decline, so this is the an appropriate opportunity to buy ,HODL,  and invest ( in a long term )  a large proportion of cryptocurrencies  ( like, Tron, Ripple, Cardano ...), so the timing is necessary , and of course patience is the key of  a big profit in trading.

the advice and strategies you provide will be helpful for new traders or new investors to be more patient in investing or trading, it's hard for new traders to be patient in trading, because they are obsessed with the benefits they want to get, and sometimes they do not can control their emotions, so they experience a big defeat.

Long term trading is supposed only for people who have a huge money Especially an investor and whales.
If you're just a newbie trader and only having a bit money long term trading can't give you much money.
I would rather recommend a day trading for a newbie who wants to start trading.

According to me if you want to establish on crypto then you must have to think about long-term. Because if you are new here in crypto and get a loss first time then you will be frustrated. Not only that if you want good and huge profit then you have to trade long-term. Actually, this "long-term" word is very important in the crypto world.

I think this is all due to the fact that everyone is trying to save their savings and invest later when the price falls and will pay off several times. Or else there is an assumption that this field of activity at this time is not the mainstream.

Short term investment is more stressful for me, and it takes very much time so I cant do short term trading, I bought and hodl it 6 months or 1 year, it is easy for me.

who told you that you need big money for long-term trading? On the contrary, big money is needed in day trading.
Because for example, with $ 50, the profit of 1-5 $ per day is not very interesting. And with 50$ for example in 2 weeks to get 100$
of course better) and free time more. And for a beginner will be extremely difficult day trading))

of course futures trading will still affect the profits we will get or also the losses we will receive when our assets decline. because the profit or loss is determined how strong we will survive in these conditions

Because the cryptocurrency market is very small with more than $ 300 billion in capitalization, it is easily dominated by whale investors. So in order not to be under pressure from the volatility of the market, long-term investment is a very good way to make a profit in this market. I spend 80% of my assets for long term investment in the cryptocurrency market.

If you are saying that long term trading can lay some pressure on the trader or he would have to go through bearish trend more than others, then is think in order to make money, some sacrifices are required and some examination needs to be done too. Moreover, if an investor is confident about his investment, he will make huge profits this way. Holding id the key of becoming rich with the help of digital currencies.

A mixed strategy seems to make sense but the big problem is that not many people can make money in trading, most people lose money instead and when you take that into account then it makes sense that some people prefer to make long term investments instead of using a mixed strategy like the one you are proposing or to only trade for the short term.

I prefer long-term trading, because it can keep me away from panic because of falling prices. I believe the future price will definitely increase and I am patient waiting for him.

It depends on your potential but I like to short term trading and I know how to choose the best coin in right time  so I make good profit in every trading. Know I am researching in day trading it will make 5 to 8 percent profit in every day but little hard to predict so I am plan to day trading in future so all the tradings are good for our future.

because the market is not stable and unpredictable. so the best choice is a long term trade. If you keep on selling and buying with the way the price of bitcoin has been unstable. You might end up losing all your capital.

Basically the best thing we all should be doing is long term trading because of the price movement which most of us agree is still unstable and keeps on fluctuating. So if you do long term, it wont hurt as much if you have losses now because maybe in the near future or in a few years from now you'll earn profits more than what you are expecting.

i'm agree with you,
because long term trading or i can said swing trading is better than day trading in cryptocurrencies
also if you want to make a good profit in cryptocurrencies, you need to be patience my friend

Long term is not applicable to ANY coin sir. The coin you must invest with must have a huge marketcap. As some ICO and coins are silent scams.. Waiting for the right moment to get volume and to dump the investors.

Too many false signal if you looking a charts in within 24h time
both is good i think, daily and long term traders because the purpose is profit oriented.

in any case, you need to spend a lot of time to control the exchange, Therefore, practically all 24 hours a day you will be busy and at the same time no free time. Although tight control of the market, too, is bearing fruit.

You are right no matter how you trade intraday or long term, you need to trade on reliable coins. Personally, I trade with the top 30. And on some shitcoins it's not a trade, but an investment, the same as participating in ico.

Trade is difficult and requires a lot of knowledge, unfortunately not all people are suitable. Control is always necessary no matter what strategy you use. With long-term trading, you will have more free time, on the contrary, daytime trading, you need to sit in front of your computer from morning till night, learn schedules, follow the news, open and close deal on time. This is a big load and as the main work.

well, i thinks it is important to get knowledge no matter what term coins you gonna trade. If you want to buy long term cryptocurrency, such as ETH or BTC, you still have to know when is best time to buy.

When you look atall the shares you will find that everything is growing with time.
Also Bitcoin is still in positive trend  8).

Op, you have said things that are right especially advice you give on one has to gather enough knowledge and experience before going into trading.  Many people are not actually learning trade but have the mind of making it.  This market did not work like that.  As a newbies you actually need to invest with long-term in mind as short-term trading involved Alot of risk.

Anyone can pair long term and short term trading, but one should not confuse the two. The current cryptocurrency markets are traders markets, so those who seek to invest long term will do well to carefully build positions over time to avoid the fluctuations in prices.

Both long and short term trading requires patience and a control over one's emotions, and both can be difficult, however getting good at either can be rewarding.

If I think ..
every trader should have an idea of what to do when they want to buy or sell, whether long term or short term, for the smart trader, all the time has the advantage, as long as it can take advantage of the condition.

Well, initially let's determine the penny hold in the long run, so the price will not affect the psychology to you, I think in the future the price of the altcoin will also rise again, so the hold is The best thing and success is depending on your patience.

I'm a VERY impatient man (and yet it not always help me for sure), and so, I daily trade a lot, on very small coins (and shitcoins) on Cryptobridge.

I had only 0.05 btc in capital 1st of May 2018, and now I stand at 0.85 btc, so I made a x17 in one month

I know it's very dangerous, but I like to live dangerously  ::)
But when you start to know what you do, and start guessing the future candle moves, you always make small x2's on a lot of small coins (of course, I could'nt do that on Binance, that's why cryptobridge )

So I almost made one bitcoin in one month, starting for almost nothing, so  I'm not so disapointed  :)

I consider long term trading a little more now, I transferred some btc to binance, and love my WAVES and NEO and will hodl long term, but continuing fast day trade on bridge..

it is true that long term trading was recommended for beginners, but in the real world problem is so many newbie trader didn't have patience for that

first of all this is not called trading anymore. this is an investment.
secondly what you are doing is in fact encouraging more people to become bag holders specially since you posted this in altcoin board. usually altcoins don't have a good future in long term!!!


trading has nothing to do with sitting behind your computer 24/7 and if you are doing it or thinking day-trading means that then you don't know what trading is!!!

you clearly have never seen altcoin prices rise aka get pumped!
here are today's "miracles" that are so rare that they happen every day with a new set of coins (at least 5 pumping coins every day) :D

https://i.imgur.com/vf8yKIt.jpg

to trade whether it is long term or short term you need to be a professional or at least have some knowledge and enough experience to choose wisely first and act according to market movement second.
otherwise buying and holding random shit is never going to make a "trader".

It is good to hold on long term because the price of the coin will increase and you will make profit depending on how long you hold the coin as long as the coin is a stable and potential coin.

I would mostly recommend doing 90% of your portfolio into longterm positions and play around with 10% on shortterm trades.
The good thing about having the 10% on the side is that you can also use that to invest into coins that have dipped enormously and increase your longterm positions.

You are right so write this post in the thread of newbies becauese there will be more usefull. Long term investmens are safe and calmer than day traiding or short term investments so i recommend this way too

You would be sending many newbies to their terminal leave and frustration with your suggestion above, because anyone new to trading, would hardly understand or afford the luxury of waiting indefinitely for profit to come. Also to encourage them that every price is a good buy, is unfortunate. Just how cool do you think anyone that perhaps bought Bitcoin at $19,000 be feeling at the moment, with price at $7500?

The author has explained everything correctly and intelligibly. Each strategy has its own positive and negative sides. Everyone chooses a strategy that suits him.

Actually long term trading is good but to those who are impatient and emotional this is not suitable for them. For me since I am not rich I am more preferred on short term trading since I need to sustain my daily needs also.

1. The first time you need to devote a lot of time to learning, to clearly understand what and how to do. Later, you need to monitor your assets every day to respond to the situation over time. The portfolio of the smart investor is flexible.
2. I agree, sometimes we can take more than 1000%.
3. Still need to strive for progress. A professional, skillful investor can earn more than an unprofessional investor. Here on the forum there are complaints about the loss of money. For example:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4354660.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3207024.0
Thus, the learning, study, research ...

Are you kidding? I work as a trader in the office and I sit from morning to night watching the charts and looking for deal.
You talk about miracles in trading, and more specifically about Pump. it's not trading but luck or insolation by insider.
This happens only on a crypto currency because the market is young and it is extremely difficult to foresee or you will come on top of growth and you will remain with a coin. you trade in the stock market there is no such.

and show me shit koin, good traders in shit koin do not trade because they are extremely unstable and there is a high risk of losing money.
So you need to learn trading.

Long-term deals will give you plenty of time to make more decisions and options for yourself, giving you more opportunities to interact with your fish to make better decisions.

Are you sure? Do you want to tell me that you do not believe in holding for the long term not even for bitcoin, because if you do not believe in any coin to be held for the long term then this means that for you the whole market is nothing more than speculation, if I believed the same as you I know that I will not be in this market, but I'm here because I believe in bitcoin for the long term.

   Long-term holding cause it's easy to do it. It's not risk free, but if you
believe in future of Blockchain technology risk is almost negligible.
   Confusion comes from so many choices. There are a lot of alt-coins,
many platforms, countless tokens, in which one to invest is hard decision
to make.
   Long-term gives us more time for buying. Many of us can't afford to invest
a lot of money from start, what we can do is investing little amounts when we
can, and to try to earn something while we can.

Long term trading is indeed a safest way of trading until your investment is in some utility token or a large cap coin. Otherwise, long term investment will leave you with bags to hodl. You just can't blindly go for long term investment by not analyzing the market everyday. You need to keep a check on your coin and its development everyday. Also, it isn't easy to get 100% profit out of a coin even in long term. With market showing short period trend reversal, I will not suggest people to go for long term unless you bought a coin real cheap.

Because long term holding pays off much higher in returns. With short term trading you can buy free lunch but with long term trading you can find yourself buying whole new car or similar big things..

This is a great advice for a person like who will recently engage on a trading. I always think what types of strategy will i use to accumulate good profits and this thread helps me filter what i really need. Kudos brother great advice!  :)

It would be more profitable if we trade long term, that's my opinion. Because I trade in the long term.
I just think if I want to do short-term trading I have to have a considerable amount of money, so that the benefits can be seen clearly.

Of course, market control is needed, regardless of the trading strategy. I did not say that it should not be.
Trade in itself requires knowledge and skills to analyze, I think in trading people come not just so otherwise you can just buy coins and put in cold wallet.

In my opinion, you are generally right. But in my opinion, it doesn't matter you are a proffesional daily trader or holder, a good knowledge about trading is always necessary.

and this is really so, because I know several people personally who started with the Bounty of companies and then investing, And as a result, they started trading. In any case, each person evaluates his own abilities and decides what he has enough knowledge.

Long term trading because it gives you the freedom to escape the worries of price fluctuations in the market. It also keeps you away from making a panic decision. Besides, long term trading gives you good total of rise in price since the time of your investment. Almost all of the good investors who have earned a fortune in Bitcoin are the long term investors.

Daily trading can sometimes be really stressful for me. So, I think holding a coin for a long time might be highly profitable, because, in my opinion, there are a lot of good coins which are promising for the future.

of course you will be really stressfull, because day trading will make you live in front of your computer in a day,
and if you do a long term hold you don't need to watch your chart everyday,,
and personally i agree with people who hold a good coins for long term hold

Not sure if there's a standard to be called as trading or investing itself. As far as I can tell you that investment usually done for years and long term trading itself a planned trade to do buy and selling for certain ( long ) periods. As long as you do it frequently ( buy and sell ) you are trading.
Some people even still thinks that trading no matter it is day trading / scalping etc it's just gambling , yeah in the end everything that has no certain outcome and you only guessing , that's gambling, otherwise when you trade based on real data and predict the price accurately most of the times then it wasn't gambling at all.
Doesn't matter what kind trade you do without any consideration but looking for miracle to get a huge unexpected profit you won't end up in a good way , that's what every beginner should know.

overall all also need a good analytical science if you want to do daily trading without the existing knowledge will make our mental becomes down when the price drops suddenly because only our estimates that the price will rise. better indeed if for better trading in the long run it will be able to get a bigger advantage of the important key just be patient for everything that happens in the market situation

Yeah you know, if you try to control the market you will be loss because no one person can control the market especially trading market, its very hard. I think we must follow the market. Chart within 24h such as 1h, 15m is too many false signal and usually for a long term trader will using chart in 1d, 1w and 1m as a technically analyze.

In my own opinion, each people who gets involved in crypto industry are trying to analyze the trading behavior to which really working out to anticipate the right decision whether long term or short term plans. Cryptomarkets graph trends is necessarry to be observed to anticipate right timing of making trading with high profits in returns.

I think long-term trading becomes an effective trading strategy. Being more able to make timely corrections, not much time to monitor stocks, investments or stock trading for the long term will not be affected because of short-term instability ie factors such as liquidity, surplus of certain sectors or stocks that can make stock prices above their value.

To be profitable and not worry much you should long-term trading because bitcoin's fluctuation in very high
Of course, for good coin, But if it is a shit coin, it should be done as soon as possible

It so simple, if you are an impatient person, then trading on a short term basis is definitely not for you. If you really want to double or triple your investment by engaging yourself into trading, just do it on a long term basis. Bottom line is, trading is not for everyone.

if you already know that junk coin of course I would not be possible to buy it, because it is very close to the loss. and for bitcoin is coin with long term investment

Long-term is meant for long-term growth some coins will take time for growth so we should give time to see excellent returns this proved in past and we can see in coming future for example Etherum and Ripple both are long-term coins

And besides long term trading does not require any special skills? so long term trades can be used by anyone even if they have little
skill and knowledge. yeah you're right besides that you do not need much time to monitor and avoid inflation and fluctuations

Warren Buffett said "Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful". It is very important, may be the most important thing - to have enough patience to wait for getting chance to buy and sell certain asset in comfortable price.

Despite the current situation, I am absolutely sure that bitcoin will rise minimum more than ten times. So we should just hold it during 3-4 year. Patience is always rewarded. Long-term investments are always more profitable. Now we have all opportunities to be millionaire in the future.

In my opinion, for beginners who are just getting acquainted with the world of crypto-currencies, this is the most correct and good strategy, adhering to which you will be able to increase your coins.

I agree with what you said about doing long term trading with good coin due to a lot if shitcoin we have lately in the cryptocurrency market but my advice to newbie is that they should good for long existing coin with good historical data since it will be hard for them to choose good coin.

I also think patient is the key in crypto. I hope everybody find the best strategy for theirselves and get good profits in the cryptocurrency world.

 I completely agree with your points long-term trading doesn't require huge and long experience, such as day and short-term trading. Also, the effect of long-term investments is much better, it's only necessary to have a strong self-possession and not to look at the chart every 30 minutes for six months.

Yes, holding is definitely better option to for investing in such a highly volatile market. Since you cannot judge the prices accurately or sometimes even roughly, you might end up losing your wealth in short-term trading. You just have to look for you’re a coin that’s trustworthy and has the potential rise in future. Just invest in that crypto and hold it. That’s the safest method for investing in crypto market.

Both Long-term and day-trading have advantage and drawbacks. If you are not so much active and can't spend time then choose long-term. Else if you can spend your time then obviously you can make profit from the volatility of the market. No one is born professional, spend your time, experience will make you professional.   

The only problem that I see with that strategy is that you are not recommending to trade good coins, for example holding for months or even a year makes sense if you are holding coins like bitcoin and ethereum but if you are holding a coin that is below the top 100 I would not recommend holding for more than a year but holding some of those coins for some months is fine by me.

Every coin goes up and down, letting your coin to go a long term, makes it absorb the down and upward movement it passes through within the short term. By holding your coin for long will enable you to make the maximum profit than trading in short term.

Nice and helpful overview. But I cannot agree at one point that is Unlike intra-day trading, you do not need to be a professional, enough to have basic knowledge. I think to do intra day trading, traders have to be more careful and calculative in taking decision otherwise, they might loose their all capital.

the cryptocurrency market is very small with more than $ 300 billion in capitalization, it is easily dominated by whale investors. So in order not to be under pressure from the volatility of the market, long-term investment is a very good way to make a profit in this market. I spend 80% of my assets for long term investment in the cryptocurrency market.

I agree with what you have said, Long-term investment will generate good profits and do not need arbitrage because the price of coins will increase over time

The risk of holding for the long term is way lower than the risk of trading every day your coins, even someone that has held his coins for only a year has great profits, can you imagine how big are the profits of those that have held their coins for 2 or 3 years, this is what all of those that think day trading is the best way to earn profits do not see.

All of them are effective short term, mid term and long term trade if you really know what you are doing because if not even if it's long term you will end panic selling if the market goes down that's why it needs always do your own search study the market movement learn how to trade and that's when you decide what's really fit in your strategy. Goodluck.

I agree with what you said. Long term trading is suitable for people who cant frequently monitor the market or dont want to have headaches when the market is not what they expected it to be.

I've been a long term hodler for more than a year now and I chose this strategy because this is the best that suits me as I also have day job.

Short term or long term I believe they are profitable and it will depends on the trader itself how to manage their investment. Choosing the right coin and timing when to sell is important regardless what strategy to use.

I totally agree with you, especially since the market is still down, it really isn’t advisable to do day trading. Where in day trading, there is a huge possible everyday stress because of what is happening in the market. In long term, our investment is safer, though we need a lot of patience in waiting for the prices to go high. It is also possible in long term to gain 100% or more just by holding our investments for a few months, a whole year or more. So it is more advisable for beginners or even experienced ones to do long term.

Longterm is a great strategy to get bigger profits. because now the market is not so good. when big threats can come. that is why strategy is needed. including in the long run or short

Hi friend, yes and i fully agree with your statement, its so inspiring to read that long term investing is for those who are interested regardless of what level you have., this is a good advice from the people who are good in investing., i do appreciate your statement., and yeah i am a long term investor of cryptocurrency, and i could find it as worthy, although up to this date, we knew that cryptocurrency prices are falling, but i dont care much about it. I just care about my future.

Godbless

since the market volatility still unpredictable i think should be a better way for long term hold not only for beginner also for whom used to daily trading.
yes exactly, if you have coins with very bright potential it will even make 100% profit less than a year. but always be full of care because no one can predict the price even some coin will be undervalue

Ones can make huge prodit eithr using the long or short terms trading because what depend the type of trade to be use is the coin ones traded or invested in cause the potentials of coins determine how it should be trade or else loosing ones fund or investment is really easy.

You really have a good point of vew, but I guess it is also depends on what goal a trader has. What I mean if a person has bought a coin by 10 cent price and if 15 cent price for him is enough. Why stop him from selling. Usually it is very short term trading.

I would say that long term trading is very good investment and good for your health since day trading will affects your daily life.

Long term trading or holding is advisable to those people who is patient enough to wait for the right time. It is also proven that had lower risk because it overcomes the volatility of the value varies from time to time. It also gives less stress because you dont need to rush things with this investment.

In trading, there should always be a goal if a person bought a coin for 10 cents and, according to his analysis, should sell 15, then you need to sell or put a stop-loss when the price is 15 cents.
To buy a coin without a goal is not trading but investment.

A very basic yet often overlooked strategy in trading. Thank you OP.

I agree that long-term trading, especially in crypto is a really good way to turn a decent profit. All you need to do is pick the right coins which are very well known. Take for example Bitcoin and Ethereum, they are the top 2 largest coins that will sure change the future of cryptocurrencies. Anyone investing today will surely gain in the long-term.

I think that long term trading is  good if you do not want to spend so much time trading on here, it is a good option if you are looking for that, otherwise, just do scalping.

I agree, for beginners I would really recommend long term trading because at first you are not familiar with trading and is trying to get to know how it works.

That is how threads should be. You have stated your opinion and you did not force anyone to follow it. Well done, mate. Also, I do agree with your point because beginners still do not grasp the market yet. That means if they, in my opinion, invested in bitcoin, knowing that the price will grow later on will bring them a quite good profit. Daily trading is hard because you need to be updative and you might lose your money to the coin you have invested in.

If you believe in crypto for a long run you should hold it because you believe cryptos will sky high.
If you don't believe in cryptos then buy low and sell high and take profit all the way.

you can also combine this 2 technics together.

I think the second technique could be any time the price has decreased long enough inevitably we also have to hold it in a long time right, so it is better to hold the coins in the long term only if you want to get more profit, even though we already smart in daily trading but all things could happen. combining the two into one technique that would be better than just doing one technique.

Thank you mate. I, too, was a beginner with many mistakes.Not who did not help.
I wanted to give at least some information so that they would not commit my mistakes.
Of course there is little information in the post but if I am asked I am open to communication.

Trading generally can be a short term as well since you can make the daily earning and in that you do not even have to worry much as even the market crashes you would have already sold your positions in a short time itself.

No one says that day trading is not profitable, it just requires more skills and time.
People are different and must find a strategy suitable for them.
To survive the falling market it is possible and in the long-term strategy the main thing is to trade in reliable coins and be patient, or just use the stop-loss.

I am sure that the market is constantly being manipulated. Therefore, the less we buy-sell each coin, the less mistakes we make and earn more.

Longterm investment always give something different like profit that you will get. Eventhough sometime need a year for holding your coins. But that is the best choice for beginner and i obviously suggest that strategy, moreover now the altcoins are average in red price, it will be bad choice if you do trading daily without good experience.

It would be more profitable if we trade long term, that's my opinion. Because I trade in the long term.
I just think if I want to do short-term trading I have to have a considerable amount of money, so that the benefits can be seen clearly.

It is always better to go for the choice which can help you in having a better earning and that you need not to go for the choice in which you are not sure that you will be able to make some good earning. if you are going for trading, then you must be sure that you are not doing any such thing which has more chance of loss of money than that of the earning of the money. Think well and make the smarter choices.

because at this time altcoin prices are in recovery and with so many people opting for long-term trades and waiting for altcoin prices back we better hold our altcoins until prices stabilize and can benefit

we are small investors. we cant see the biggers game.
this week we saw that they pump or dump 400 dollars to btc in 5 mnutes or less.
in this market condiiton the best is investing long term. else we lose most of our money

Long term trading has been profitable in the long run and almost all the crypto experts prefer it. This is because long term trading enables you to earn and reap a whole rise in the value of your portfolio. Again you might have more than one or two coins in your portfolio and that way your profit rise twice than before it was. These things really make your way to the financial freedom and thus prove lavish in ling term.

if you would like to earn a lot revenue you have to maintain long-term. do not be too eager to get a quick profit but with a small amount
the longer you patiently endure, you will get a bigger profit

Long term trading is vulnerable yet profitable base on the value riches for a years by holding. And people would love to hold as they look for the past value that too low and now we're on the highest level that btc has. So if so for me also I go gor long term just a year maybe so i can check out also whats the difference.

I believe it's because not all of us here can really do what the experts are doing, honestly most of us here doesn't know about the fundamentals of tradings. Not even me because for myself i am also a long term trader. That's the beauty here in cryptos we can learn all throughout without depending on anyone to act as intermediaries. We can be our own brokers while learning and making some good long term trade which is at the end of the day we will be celebrating because we hodl.

Long term trading or holding is the old version form of trading and the old way are the best for both new and experience crypto currency trader due to ease and stress free way with huge returns whenever the it block halving. 

Day trading isnonly for professional even in stock market, with crypto market which is more volatile so better pick a long term project and try to stick with it .

I prefer long-term trading because I think Bitcoin is the future and will increase in value. Also from my experience, I think long-term trading will give you more profit than short-term.

the main reason of course because of the money. If seen improvement every year crypto is certainly the more promising. and this potential that many people view to hold in the long term with the hope that the longer the hold then the result gets bigger. and perhaps from two years ago to the present it is very successful and could certainly continue into the following year.

From the start I am into holding long term trading because I always believes on the future of bitcoin. I have seen so many difficulties false news and others affecting value of bitcoin. But, bitcoin still regain it's value also it can use for transactions that is why holding long term and using it's features.

True, bitcoin has stayed even though there are a lot of speculations thrown at it especially negative news stating it wont last long. But despite of its ups and doensnit still manage to also stay on top out of all the other cryptos.

Long term is better than short term trading because short term is very stressful and everybody knows that long term investment is more profitable than short term so I chose long term.

I think this question is quite difficult to answer. But I will. I think this is all because of the instability of cryptocurrencies as many oppose them and therefore they fluctuate so much.

Your statement is correct. With ling term trading we can make risk smaller. Generally all good and legit coin will goes up because cryptocurrencies is deflationarry asset and can not be printed like fiat money or any stock. And cryptocurrencies also the futures of economic model. Thats why trader with long term strategies will win and most of day trader will loose..

Long term trading is no doubt really a good option especially at time when the market is not behaving good and that the market value of the crypto coins is falling. It is better to stay patient at such times even if you are only up for day trading as day trading in such situation will only result in the loss of money and that you will not be able to make anything profitable. You need to be smart in your decisions.

Holding for the long term is simply the best strategy so if you care about making money, and I suppose that as an investor you care about such a thing, then you need to hold for the long term, I know that not everyone likes to do it and they prefer to trade for the short term, but the amount of effort you need to do, the fees and the taxes you need to pay make it a strategy that very few can employ successfully.

That sound really an interesting idea, to be honest I'm really jealous to the people who can choose either long-term or short-term trading, I don't even consider myself as a trader as well, I just sell my tokens when the value is really good or when I really need a fiat, though to be honest I really wanted to try short-term trader or even the so called day trader, I just don't have the time right.

Same as situation now. I prefer long-term trading because I need to save up fiat through tokens. That encourages me to do so because I have dreams to fulfill and I don't want to keep dreaming only I need to make it and prove it that cryptocurrency is worth fighting for my dreams,my goals. Though,honestly I almost give up but then I continue because life must go on no matter what the situation of cryptocurrency and I chose this life.

Agree, but what I meant is that many people may try to stop you from selling, when you are completely ok with the price token has right now. But yeah trading and investment are not as much different.

In longterm trading the chances that you get more profit or high profit is very high because mostly the coins needs few years to increase the price. In shorterm you can get only some profit because it takes only few months. But it depends to the coin that you hold also.

I do not agree with you. With a long investment, you can really not keep a close eye on the price. But the profit of the short-term is higher. You can not sit 24/7 because the exchange itself will sell your coin at your price when the time comes...

Of course you can disagree with me.  I myself trade short-term, and have a long-term portfolio. However, statistics say that long-term trade is more profitable.
I'm not saying that day trading is not profitable on it you can earn as much, but it is not suitable for everyone without experience will not earn much on day trading.
When there is experience in trading then you can trade short-term, my opinion.
Last year, I traded short-term and missed the opportunity to earn a lot. This is why I like longer-term trade.
And this post was for beginners.

Long term trading is very good because it gives you enough time to make good corrections  that might arise after you bought the coin, in long term trading, you can make more profit because the price of the coin will rise far above the amount it was when you bought it initially. In long term trading, you do not need to monitor the coin every time unless at your leisure time.

Sometimes when you make a wrong move you become a long-term trader not on your's free will ;D
But seriously It is a decent way for assets that have a history at least 3 month and more where you can at least make graphs and apply fibo and notice the behavior of the asset.

By doing long term trading can gives you good profit rate but ofcourse it entails of patient to hold your coins. As long you are in the right moves to hold it you can be successful to earned. Sometimes I don't have time to short term trade so usually I'm one of those who does on long term hold.

if you look at the current situation of the market is experiencing a lot of decline then I strongly agree with your opinion for long-term investment because with us make long-term investment then we will get a lot of profite in the future .. crypto will grow not within 1- 7 days but will grow within a period of 1-2 years, so be patient for the future 8)

Lol but you are right, the problem is that many people after making a bad trade sell immediately their coins, that is fine if you are really a short term trader but if the coin in which you invested is good then there is nothing wrong with holding for sometime and see if the coin recovers or if it gives you profits in a longer term, many of the losses that traders suffer could become winning trades if they just waited for long enough.

There is still time for you to learn and try the most idealistic way of earnings. Patience is very important as a trader, only those whoa have these certain attitude might only survive. A lot of people tried these thing but some of them just failed due to lack of courage and of being impatience.

Because we still can't predict what will happen with crypto and market - so it seems to be wise to hold on and watch the situation.

That is only if a trader was able to pull it off. At the end of the day, trading long term does not guarantee profit would be made anymore than short term trading could. What looks like an advantage with long term trading is in the hope it brews that the extra time would bring good tidings, but the market price remains the ultimate decider interestingly, there are profitable traders in both divide.

Full pledge investors almost having a long term strategy than of short time. Definitely, due to expertise and long engagement in the same field they find out that there is something they got from holding. Of course, crypto are quite moving and its price going high also most probably it could be x2 or more for the next year.(what a big profit).

If you believe that there is a good potentials of a project then you will also believe that long term holding is a big win. Ethereum ,Bitcoin and other top 10 alts is a long term projects except for a fork like BCH. Crypto thingy is not all about but it is all about technology if you believe some future technologies of crypto like cross-chain transactions hyper TPS then look for a project that develop this kind of technology invest their project and hold your investments and you will see a multiples of gains afterwards.

Long-term trading is not for impatient people, you must have a good patience to trade long-term, whereas short-term trading can be done anyone, however I think everyone needs to give enough for trade learning before start trading in cryptocurrencies.

But you have to take into account the coin you are investing with because it might be a dead coin so even if you bought it at a cheaper price, it might not go back up again even if the crypto market recovers and you will just hope that the coin would be pump. Bad thing is that you will be stagnant in a coin for a long time if you made a mistake in choosing a dead coin. If possible, choose the coins that have been long standing and has bigger trade volumes since most likely they are active coins and the team behind it too. If you choose and ICO then better monitor its progress all the time since the team has yet to prove its ability to develop the project.

Yes, you are right for a long-term trade all coins do not fit.
I generally trade coins with a large capitalization, it is best to trade on the top 10 - 30 by coinmarketcap.

Now almost everything consists of this, and do not be surprised at this, now long-term trade is almost in Vogue, which probably should not be prevented probably still will not work.

Good point. Less stress, more profit. More free time as well. Agreed.

it will be a useful strategy to be less influenced by negative movements in the short term due to the long-term investment.

the purpose of both is to gain profit, if indeed we have a daily work other than in the field of cryptocurrency, long-term trading is the right choice to do. but if our goal to earn a quick profit should choose the short-term trading way because the money we have invested not too long frozen, but the capital we spend can quickly turn back to get the benefits

I like this thread,yes long term trading is nice actually I also used this strategy in trading because you can work aside from bitcointalk while doing anything else you love.

Most are request for a long term profit because only that way can earn millions. That's why I m hoping for my kids that through holding l can buy later our community. Truly holding is sausage na token.

with long term holding you can reduce the panic sell attack on your portofolio,,
and the most important thing is you should believe in your protofolio,,
so, research before hold any coin for long term absolutely needed my friend

In my opinion, not all of the altcoins and tokens are suitable to make long term investment. In my way of thinking, if you want to be successful at holding and daily trading, you should know always when to make buying and when to make selling, that's all.

The longer the term of your trades then your long term trading becomes just long term holding and while there is no guarantee you are going to get profits the chances are way better, just look at the charts if you pick any random moment to hold your coins until now in most cases you will have profits, the only months in which this is not true are the past December and January, so you could have bought your bitcoin at any time except those two months and you will have some profits.

Yes, I wrote about this couple of messages back. That not all coins are suitable for long-term trading.
For a long time it is worthwhile to trade on coins with large capitalization.

Now that you have an idea on both what do you think about profitability if you compare the two. Which is more profitable? Day trading or longterm trading?

because now the market price and the price of Altcoin still has not gone up especially Bitcoinpun still below and still not up, and with so many people who choose long-term trading because the market situation is still not good

I prefer long-term trading because I think Bitcoin is the future and will increase in value. Also from my experience, I think long-term trading will give you more profit than short-term.

Any short term traders making money during all these coins dropping in price?  Because if you bought it a while ago and hold, you are down a lot in many coins.. some are down 90 percent...

There is simple reason why mostly people prefer because cryptotrading is not marhin call so as ling as we keep our asset and there is big chance to grow again. Longterm is a great strategy to get bigger profits. because now the market is not so good so holding will be good choice.

In my opinion, long term investment is more profitable than day time trading as doing long term will less pressure from the market volatility and you have more time to other activities that can divert your attention when the market is down. Just be patient and trust you coins.

Long-term trading for me is only 6-8 months and longer than that is definitely not worth of holding. Based on my observation, long-term trading that takes a year or few years is basically wasting an opportunity of making profits because the volatility is always present in the market.

In opinion, long-term trading is the correct choice for new comers. Moreover, new comers need to learn lots of knowledge during this period.

For me, if a certain investor has a patience to deal for a long term trading then he must looking for a right time to gain more profit. But it depends on  how you play the volatility of the market. Make some strategies for safer transactions.

As far as I know about the trading, it is the most difficult job to do and that the ones who are busy in trading are extremely rich in information and that they are wise enough to make the right choice at tough times. If you think you are not this much expert that you can go for day trading, the long-term trading gives you an advantage as you can then think for a while before making the decision.

I also do the same thing, because in my opinion the holding too long will not determine the bigger profit, so day trader is more suitable for me, than long term trading.
And many time to I get more profit from the other project.
But, it's depend on you.

Many people underestimate how difficult it is to become a successful trader they think they are just going to enter in this market and make a lot of money and that is not true, especially when there are actors like the whales which can manipulate the market as they see fit and whatever analysis you made becomes useless and you end up giving your money to them because of your lack of experience.

There are people that prefer for long term trading and I think the advantage for it is the waiting time if the specific coin hit its peak value but as for me I don't wait for that span of time if I can see that the rising of value for my coin is enough for my trading threshold value and I will sell it immediately.

It is always suggested you should opt for long term trading because it involves less risk as compared to short term trade. Short term trade can be compared to Day trade which is very risky as you never know when market will crash as I believe once in two weeks market is always red and such conditions can decrease your investment greatly.

Yes it is correct, but now it is quite efficient to make profit on short-term investments. After all, we see how unstable periods of growth and recession are, you can catch a couple of coins by the tail and quietly make a small profit on it. And we allow more top and expensive coins to leave and replenish them at the expense of this profit.

I am completely different from both of you guys..i am a long term trader and i never achieved profit in day trading...i get confused when to buy or sell...so much easier for me just to buy and hold for a long term...it sounds much easier you just need some patience.

I don't know about the others because each one of us has a different view of the market situation and they will act according to the market cap. So for me, long-term investment is always a good strategy because in short terms it is very difficult to manage the ups and downs. So holding for long-term is always good.

They have disadvatange of waitng the price for longterm and that's is once the price become very high and after few months or year they will not happen again that price.
But they have advatange and that's for longterm because you can more money instead of shoterm. But sometimes better to be shoterm than longterm. But always good us longterm.

For the ones who are interested in trading, I think of long term trading to be the best possible thing to do as this is something which can help the traders in making more money than that of the day trading. Other than that, it is also less risky than that of day trading as you get enough of the time to analyze the situation and then to make the decision which can work in your favor.

I guess there's nothing wrong about this what we called long term trading or Hodling, because it's a matter of traders perspective and decision. Versus the daytime trading or what we called scalping, there are also risk and good gain opportunity. So i guess i leave it here, what ever the techniques you are using on trading, Funda or daytime i believe it is yours to decide if you will be gaining or losing assets.

In my own opinion, long term trading is more profitable than short term or day trading. In long term trading,you are more relaxed when there is fluctuation in price because you know by the time you decide to trade, you will at a higher price and earn big profit.

Of course, you should always have a goal according to your analysis, in trade it can be either short-term or long-term. Simply the longer the wait, the greater the profit. And if you trade long-term, you must be patient. Not all can.
If you do not have a goal in the trade then it is an investment.

I will always agree on a long term holding since this is a win win option for both the holder and the developers. For the developers they will have a good budget to strengthen the product and as a result the price of the coin will increase.

The price of crypto is always up and down and very difficult to predict in the short term, but if in the long term crypto is more likely to increase high, and for long-term investment it becomes a good choice.

good strategi, but in situation like this week we have deeply control our emotion and stress, have to know exactly time to cut lose and when to buy more

Here i use long term trade because it market it easier for me to do other things as well as the greater benefit to the current market situation

Long-term hold just waiting for the opportunity to come to us, we hold long term at that altcoin price will fluctuate and we have the option to sell at a more reasonable price. That is my personal opinion.

Well, this is most likely a more profitable offer that can be turned, more confidently goes, and spreads more, also enjoys greater popularity than other methods of trade. :-\ :-\

it is hard for new traders to be patient in trading, because they are obsessed with the benefits they want to get, and sometimes they can not control their emotions, so they experience big defeats. and the advice and strategies you provide will be useful for new traders or new investors to be more patient in investing or trading

While I agree in Long Term trading is more less stressful since you almost don't care about the fluctuation, day trading can yield more profits than long term trading. Lets say you buy token today and hold it for 1 year (365 days) is it possible that you can gain 200% profits after 365 days? In day trading if you are careful and your appetite for profits are low, you can earn 1% to 2% per day. There might be bad days within the year but hitting 200% profits for day traders is possible with careful selection of coins or tokens to buy.

1 year or 2 year is very very long time for this market. if you look the past for what happened cryptos in 2 year, you will see most of them is 0$ now.
it will be same for 2 years. todays promisin projects became 0$ in a very short time.

Why long term trading? Because long term trading is more profitable than short term trading due to the fact that you need to wait for a long time in order for the price to mature or reach its full peak. while short term trading do only enables you to earn low profit in a shorter time because you arent waiting for the coins to pumped more.

however both short and long term trading is still good because both of them can still deliever you a guaranteed profit.

a high level of profit by using trading, in the long run, this makes a lot of people who use this strategy to achieve substantial profit in the future. and for its own benefit, it can be said to be quite large compared to other strategies. so many enthusiasts run it.

The biggest problem with that strategy is that you are going to get many small gains but you are going to miss the big gains when the price skyrockets, personally I'm the kind of person that is willing to risk becoming a bag holder as long as I have the chance to be able to see my coins skyrocketing, I know it is a risky strategy but after thinking about it that is the strategy I decided for myself.

I don't know about the others because each one of us has a different view of the market situation and they will act according to the market cap. So for me, long-term investment is always a good strategy because in short terms it is very difficult to manage the ups and downs. So holding for long-term is always good.

From my understanding when we prefer long term trading we get an assurance of earning big through trading. Particularly, when it comes to a low valued coin for long term the investment is small and furthermore what we get after a long term holding will be much higher with assets that we choose upon proper research.

Id prefer also long term trading, its the best way to engage in crypto because we dont know when will the price got pump and dump. as long as you invested in the  good coin.because sometimes there are coins that will not last long enough so we gotta careful in choosing coin for long term trading. And the advantages of long term trading is when you buy a coin in a lower price in the future it will triple or double.

I agree with your advice the long-term trading strategy is the best option.
However, before we apply it, we first need to understand it because by his understanding then we can know which type of strategy which is more suitable for our needs. If we someone who thinks that bitcoin will be worth millions of dollars in the future, then we will probably stick with a long-term strategy. This strategy has been proven to produce's also the only successful tool. 

When I was just starting out, I chose the right strategy, bought a few different coins and bitcoin and just waited. But motom I wanted to try trading and at first it worked, but now I'm in the red. So now I prefer to keep coins!

long-term investments are more reserved for well-earned coins such as etherum and bitcoin. both have excellent prospects, while choosing another coin will be much more risky because investing in less popular altcoins may reduce the investment we have. if one chooses then we will experience a loss and it will certainly disturb the future that we have. the very fast movement towards the coin that we have then will determine the results we will get.

I think that's a pretty good strategy for beginners. As a beginner in anything one is prone to make many mistakes, and here we're dealing with money. So for them I think it's best to hold.

In a situation when the market value of most of the digital coins especially the coins which are being used for the sake of day trading continuously falls, there is nothing good which you can have because of short term investment of money. In that case, it is better for you to take a break and that you should stay patient for little longer and start switching towards long term trading to make some more money.

It's really a good type of trading but I do both to make much profits. Last year, all of my long term holds have given me 2x-5x back but this time, short term trades are the the types that gives me much more profits.

I think that now it is better to trade than to hold the coin in the long term. Because the market is very unstable.

Now it is better to keep coins at least until the end of the summer.
And day trading is now extremely dangerous, or as a result you will become a long-term investor))
Unless you use stop-loss.

That is why here in crypto it is always an edge if you are patient. Long term hodling is for the patients. It is always an edge if you know how to control your emotions and learn to look at the charts and the prices with only the mind used. If you look at the charts and your coins are growing, there is a tendency that you will sell early and waste all the rest of the succeeding growth. And if you are looking at a red market, there is a tendency that you will also sell, albeit with a loss. These are happening because of emotional reactions.

I have a lot of altcoins that i'm holding on my cold wallet. i know that this altcoin has future and potential that their value will increase over time since they have a really excellent developers and massive community. Some of the alitcoins is really worth it for long term but others are not since other developers is abandoning their project if no one will support them.

long term or longer term investments to those who have unused or future capital. because if we do longterm, we want big profits in a long time, especially if we do daily trading will only make losses, better for long term.

Choosing long-term trading, or holding, you reduce the risks to lose the money you invested in the cryptocurrencies. I am glad that I am ready to hold the crypto for long.

Long term trading is most likely a wise option especially for a beginner. There will be continuous pump and dump on the price. And this would entail confusion and emotional pressure particularly to a beginner. So, as the strategies are still on process of absorbing, long term trading is a good start.

Since you invest long-term, you only invest in crypto top 2 in the market, it would be good for them to make long-term investments in BTC or ETH and bitcoin. Sometimes coins will not last long enough so we have to be careful in choose coins for long term trading.

Almost of the good traders are know that holding cryptos with long term period is profitable. Everyday the price or the value of token that you are holding is pumping or dumping, it depends on your patience and emotions because being a traders it is just a risky moves to sell or buy crytptos. So holding in long period if time or in a specific time ypu can earn more profits.

I know you are right when looking for long term investments we should choose coins very carefully and only invest in those coins which have the possibility of living for more than 1-2 years as it increases the profit on your investment. But if you think only Bitcoin and Ethereum can provide this quality then you are wrong as there are many new good coin which will be huge success in the coming years as their team is putting full effort and their work will defiantly pay in the coming years.

That is a good suggestion because you have talked in terms of profitability and risk reducibility. This is what long term trading is all about. You really get the time to day away from the daily panic and hold the portfolio until the market is good enough to cash the money. Also you get a whole rise in the monetary value of the coins you hold in your portfolio in one time so that is a lot better than day trading actually.

In theory it may seem like trading can give you greater profits than holding your coins and that is true if you are a very good trader but if you are not then trading will only cost you money, not only the money you lose in trading but all the books and courses that you buy should be considered as part of the costs as well as the time you invest trying to learn how to trade.

Long term holding offers you the opportunity to offset any losses you could have incured if you have been day trading. If price move against you in long term holding,you don't bother much since your objective might be a long term.

If you dont have much time for day trading long term trading is the solutions. You have to hold a coins good for long term if not this will waste of your time.

I've been using that long term trading strategy since I started investing in cryptocurrency a couple of years ago. I chose this strategy because I have no time to monitor the market often. I bought some coins that is in the top ten list of the cryptomarket because I believe that these top coins have more potential to grow or bounce back in the future.

Actually the potential coin is not just bitcoin and ethereum alone dude. there are many other potential coins. which you can buy
and hold for the long term. and the profits are no less great than investing in bitcoin. but the risk may be greater. but still profitable for long term

Yes it is, long term would be suited to all newbie who wants to learn in trading while gaining profit. Before I move to be Short trader I usually use it and it is very worth it at first.

Making day trading is stressful and takes all your time to monitor the market prices and the changes in this volatile market. Better to have a long term investment to stay relax with the price volatility and be patient to wait for the best price to come.

Long term trading gives you more profit in the future. But you can consider by doing short term you can get good profit also but have to be carefull by doing this, or else you get scammed.

With beginners, long term trading is the best. It does not require much experience and it saves time too. You will not have to be always monitoring the market price and you can sell it when the price is suitable for you.

I choose long-term trading for one reason - the lack of time. As soon as I have the job (from Monday to Friday), I cannot deal with the day trading. Everything is simple.

I think what you call ‘long-term trading’ is better known as and better called ‘Investing in a Portfolio’ of BTC and good altcoins and Hodling through market upturns and downturns with sensible adjustments to your portfolio - i.e. taking profits and cutting your losses. This is how nearly all new crypto investors would start out as they get to know the market and crypto, how exchanges work, the wild swings up and down of crypto prices etc. one good piece of advice is to set profit goals when you buy a crypto coin, and at what price you will take 20% profit, 50% profit etc while letting the rest of the money you’ve made ride!

The ‘short-term’ trading is as you describe, and it is an area for experts with good equipment and sceeens and time to devote most of the day to with you closing out most of your positions at the end of the day at a profit or loss. Most people starting this list money the first few months and you can easily lose all your capital in a market like crypto, and it’s not a thing for newbie crypto investors to try.

The other type of trading is ‘swing trading’ where you buy a crypto and hold it for days or weeks selling at a predetermined profit or stop-loss, and this would be a stepping stone I think from having a portfolio to then allocating a small part of your capital to swing trading on paper first and then live. But again you can easily lose that trading capital of the market goes against you which it often does in crypto, and then as you say you can be left wishing you’d just hodled the damn coin when you look at its price in a year or two after a bull run! Crypto investors beware!

As long-term trading you have more opportunities to sell at higher prices. Coins do not have to grow forever, if you hold them for long periods, you will keep track of the price often, and sell at a more reasonable price in the short run.

Yes it is correct, but now it is quite efficient to make profit on short-term investments. After all, we see how unstable periods of growth and recession are, you can catch a couple of coins by the tail and quietly make a small profit on it. And we allow more top and expensive coins to leave and replenish them at the expense of this profit.

It is always suggested you should opt for long term trading because it involves less risk as compared to short term trade. Short term trade can be compared to Day trade which is very risky as you never know when market will crash as I believe once in two weeks market is always red and such conditions can decrease your investment greatly.

Yeah i agree with you my friend, long term investments of trading is suitable for all types of persons whether you are a newbie or a day trader., if you dont have enough time for everything, or you have a job, then long term investing is suitable for you., long term investing is really worth it because it is not hassle for you to think everyday., and profits may be higher i think., based on my experience, i got more profits from long term investing rather than trading, its because i have a day job to do.

But that should be in mind is if a beginner do trading for the long term they will not be able to trade in the short term. What I know trading is not entirely dependent on theory but someone will be able to get profit when trading with notes he trades often so that the gap market seen will be easy to understand. Practice will be a major factor to understand trading in cryptocurrency.

Actually trading long term is a good thing just like poultry you need to invest alot of time to take care of them and if they grow drastically then time to sell or spend them. That's how you value long term trading. now in Cryptocurrency there are 2 option either short or long term depends on your criteria.

That is not only you, while day trading is very popular it is one of the most difficult activities and most traders earn less than the market returns, think about this, the market of bitcoin gave almost 20x your investment last year unless a trader got more than that then he was outpaced by the market, what trader got more than 20x profits trading bitcoin? Very few I guess, so long term holding is a superior strategy than trading.

That sound really an interesting idea, to be honest I'm really jealous to the people who can choose either long-term or short-term trading, I don't even consider myself as a trader as well, I just sell my tokens when the value is really good or when I really need a fiat, though to be honest I really wanted to try short-term trader or even the so called day trader, I just don't have the time right.

The great things of holding for long run is that you can set aside a great deal of opportunity to settle on your choices, with regards to here and now trading you have just a matter of minutes to choose whether you need to purchase a coin or not but rather when you are holding for the long haul you can take weeks or months examining a solitary coin to check whether it is the correct speculation for you.

I may think that long term holding isn't good as of today's market situation. Due to high volatility it could hardly to say that coins will grow consistently cause fluctuations of price occurs every time. Having an unpredictable market trend will never tell if this coin will grow in the future or not.

first of all , this topic is about trading and should be moved to trading boards. anyways lets get back to the original topic. if you were to ask me why i would  choose long term trading ? simply because long term trading gives you the ability to earn more income as when compared to short or mid term trading due to the fact that the longer you hold or trade the more price increase will posibly occur in the future . however if you are already contented to your profit and wouldnt love to earn more , then i guess that is the time that you should stop and quit on trading.

Long term trading because it is only the long term trading that can give you some good whole rise in the prices of the coins in your portfolio you hold. The rise in the values is completely gone to the benefit. It also depends on the kind of crypto you are holding in the market. Bitcoin and ETH gives some good output if held for long. NEO and litecoin are very good for short term benefits.

If you choose long term trading you will have the opportunity to choose the right price for the individual, and wait for the high price to sell, if you eager to lose money and sell at low prices. Be patient and that is your success factor.

Because they are more stable over the long term, you are not worried when the market goes down and that is one of the ways many investors are adopting. Maybe in the future the price of the altcoin will rise spike, and the moment is now the best moment for us.

for sure i would prefer everybody for long term trading or long term holding, especially if we see the trend right now, too risky for short term trading even for expert trader. i think we can even get more advantages in long term trading rather than short term trading, not only get more benefit from our altcoins also to manage the risk factor that some people already lose big money from trading nowadays.

Day trading is by far the most difficult way to trade, there are traders that buy a coin and hold it for months and then sell it, in my opinion if people want to become traders this is a better way than to jump directly to day trading where you need to take decisions very fast and only those that have the ability to read the market in seconds will be capable of taking the right decision most of the time under those difficult circumstances.

After reading your thread, I really agree with what you submit.
Trading long-term and short-term do have risks respectively.
I think that if for beginners it is better to trade long-term because to minimize the risk of loss.
If a short term for a newbie will be a big risk because doing sort sort trading requires patience, extensive experience and good strategy.

Long term trading or holding always pay the best rewards, right now the market moves up and down so if you do day trading you will have a hard to monitor every coin because of its volatility, while trading for long term really gives you the right pattern to be used. They both have risk and its all up to you what you will choose, I assume you know how to trade in long term.

I agree about your post  ;D
To get maximum profit, we can not trade in the normal way. In addition to knowing the direction of the market, also must know when to enter the market and when when out of the market. So do not enter late and exit in a hurry.
If you consider trading this business, prepare your capital seriously. Prepare more capital, so when the target is reasonable and small, the result is still enough to finance your life. But if you consider trading this game, regardless of its capital, regardless of its target, this is not a problem.

This is perfectly explained. Long term is preferred over short term and besides the explained has so many other advantages as well. It also keeps you away from the panic selling because you would not check the market values daily and would not worry much about the price fall and rise. Almost all the current Bitcoin billionaires are the long term holders and have been earning using the strategy.

Long term is because its easier. But you have to become immune to seeing your money in the red and the only way you'll be comfortable is if you're not 'all-in'. So use proper risk management before investing.

Running trading for the long term will be very good and able to generate far greater profits in the future. so it would be great to run long-term trading that is very capable of generating much greater profits. for big profits are many who to won't. so it's no wonder many love long-term trading.

Long-term trade already has proven capable of delivering excellent results for the future. And people have chosen according to their coins that will give you an advantage in the future so that they dare to invest in large numbers. This strategy gave a very positive thing and teach us to train our patients when looking at the market of crypto in a poor condition.

Long-term strategy is a good option, but we must not forget to periodically fix the profit.
otherwise, you can hold the coin for many years and ride with it on a swing.don't be greedy

Long-term trading is always be the best way to go. For most of the momentum a token generate is by reaching their specific timelines. Patience is needed in crypto and most of the day-traders are happy in a $100-200 gains but remember that this is a high risk high reward scenario. I'd rather hold the token and wait for it to skyrocket than just dump it after it has been transferred to my wallet.

Some people prefer getting involved with day trading especially at times like this because they need money. For them it is also a way for them to cut losses from the huge and long time dump. I am also a day trader too and even if there is only small gains, I still prefer it because I need money for weekly finances. My savings from the dump is also getting reduced so day trading is the only way for me to still gain profit. Anyways, I only trade if there is still a profit gained and I am not selling it all, I am also hodling just in case the price starts to rise.

Yeah long-term investment in crypto can be interpreted as poultry but you also should to choose a classy poultry (potential coin).
so that when you take care of it. what you will earn is the price increase of that coin and of course the profits you will get. for a long investment -term do not forget to look for potential coins

Just make sure that you understand in what you are getting into before investing for the long term, there are many people that claimed they invested for the long term and then when the price began to crash they immediately sold their coins in panic and now they are losing so much money that it is unlikely they are going to get back in the market anytime soon.

I believe that long term trading is more safe and easy but i feel much emotional with long term when the price drops easily,  i feel that i cannot get back my investment again.  But as the price goes up afterwards i feel more secure.

It is always suggested you should opt for long term trading because it involves less risk as compared to short term trade. Short term trade can be compared to Day trade which is very risky as you never know when market will crash as I believe once in two weeks market is always red and such conditions can decrease your investment greatly.

In longterm trading the chances that you get more profit or high profit is very high because mostly the coins needs few years to increase the price. In shorterm you can get only some profit because it takes only few months. But it depends to the coin that you hold also.

People will do long term trading because they are aiming for better profit and that is what everyone in crypto will do, but as for me I will not wait for long term trading if I already see a good profit for the coin I am holding because I believe that price matter.

One of the best thing is crypto is long term trading. If you knew the bitcoin story of selling the BTC for a pizza then you shouldn't do it because you will just regret this action and some of the altcoins are worth holding in long period.

yes, it is much better to invest in long-term trading it will save you lots of time, worries and energy on checking the market on daily basis and end up being stressed from lots of dips, keep away from this short-term investments and will surely prolong your life. ;)

I agree with you, that being an advantage in long-term trading is that we can be more relaxed and not like day trading that has to look at price movements every day.

The risk of holding for the long term is lower than the risk of trading every day your coins,if you bought a good ico at a low price and hold at least 1 year you can get a very nice profit.

i dont believe long term trading on cryptocurrencies.
tehre are now so much coins.
everyday coinmarketcap adds 10 coin. because f this, old coins cant make any marketcap and cant raise.

It's good for the health. Not causing you to always check the value if it will increase, because you just don't care and hodl it for a long time until it reached your goal price not the day trading price. It will also depends on the supply, so less supply then value will increase and its demand.

It is very good to hold the coins for the long term because in short terms we might see prices may crash which we cannot able to predict the price. If you hold it for long-term along with the bitcoin price, all other coins prices will start increasing. So people who are holding in long terms will always get the most benefits from the good potential companies.

I think long-term investment in Crypto market will bring a lot of risk to investors. Because we really do not understand the altcoins we have bought, they have had sales and profits in the quarter. Besides, we can not even know the basis of their work to be able to fully trust them.
Long-term investment without trust will often fail 90%.

The long-term trade seems to be more secure.
And with this long-term trade more profitable.
While the current market in the fall and short-term trading is very risky.
And we have to hold the coins that have enormous potential.
So that we can earn a profit in the future.
