Many beginners want's to become a trader, but they are skipping the process and start looking for an exchange as much as possible without knowing how to trade well. Trading is not that easy, it requires a lot of research, and analysis treat trading as your Job!

One of my friend asked me about the current exchange he is using, and what coins to buy so he can make profit. Well, I don't give any advice regarding on this one because for me if you want to make profit you should know it on your own. I just give some advice that if he really wants to become a trader, go take the process, learn more and you will see what coins to buy especially during this bear trend.

How do you see your trading activities? Are you just here to buy and sell or you are here to have more good coins and hold it until you make profit?

It's more like a job but rather our sustainable business, and with trading ability its certain to earn much higher profit as your income compared of having stressful job. Treating your daily trading activities as your job will provide you a positive outcome in the future, because if you're focused with it you will obtain a good trading decisions.

In my own opinion, the main reason why people chose to trade different types of tokens in order for them to make profits from it. Hodling is the most important thing to practice if you want to trade or become a trader. Let us learn to hold token and wait for the right time to sell it.

actually I've been trading since 10 years ago, but not in crypto, I just learned to trade in crypto a few years ago, just like real trading, crypto trading is also very fun even though it's full of risk

What do you mean real trading? Which part of trading cryptocurrencies isn't real? :/

Do swing trading to reduce the stress though. I leave day trading since months ago, the stress is too high.

I prefer buying low and selling high from medium to long term. Day trading or trading for short term profits is pretty hard for me to consider I am not tight at setting stop losses ending up losing rather than gaining. I did my research but it's that psychological manner that I cannot get off me easily so hodling is I prefer.

That's why they say cryptocurrency world is cruel, they immediately plunge without knowing what they are doing with a high level of risk.

There are several coins that I hold for the future, because I'm sure the price of the coin will rise, and about 40% of my assets, i use for daily trading on a different coin.

I think if you want to treat trading as your job, you need to learn deeper about trading and not just learn about the basic of trading. It is more than buy and sell the coin, we need to analyze to find out which coins that can work well for us so we can get the profit. And remember, learning to trade is not an instant, and you need to keep trying without stop if you want to become a pro trader. And if you cannot do this, then I suggest you search another way to make a profit.

Many people start trading as part time, learn market works and test strategy not a job. If we use " job " it means you already there for long time and understand market works, know the risk and loss. Start trading use " job " as mindset is good but many people fail in the market and make them change mindset become gambler, not good. Use any mindset you want, just control your self and good luck to you.

where are lowest and highest prices? in my opinion, i will place purchases in each area of ​​support, so i can buy at some prices according to my analysis. and sell it also gradually in each resistance area

That is truth Creeps!  We should look at trading as a profession that we can develop and not buying and selling.  Trading, need times,  intelligence and understand.  You also needs to develop skills about how to trade professionally.  Remember that it is your capital we are talking about and that means you should guide it as you guide your jobs. 
We are at the time that we have a lot of distraction and that is what trading hate.  You need focus and perseverance in other to become a successful trader.  You need to work day and night gathering information about your trade and once you do that there is no way you will not become successful.

Exactly. Even how to use or how trade on a specific exchange require a little research.


A wise move. If you provide advice on 'what to buy to have profit", you might end up getting all the blame if he/she incurs a loss.

I would say 20% day trade and 80% "hodl till moon"

people around here tend to jump in, head first, and expect to make profit right away. i think part of this wrong way of thinking comes from the fact that some times like last year because of the pumps, no matter what you bought you could make profit and that gave some people false confidence in their abilities.
otherwise anybody who started trading this year knows well enough that it is a hard thing that you can not be successful in unless you spend a lot of time familiarizing yourself with things that are going on in the market such as the altcoin pump and dumps.

Yeah, they blame the market situation every time they lose money but in fact its their own fault why they lose money. Knowledge is very important, and in trading its a must to wear the right knowledge.

At least you know well where to put your money. Newbies should set a goal like this. I also have good coins in my wallet because I believe good coins will survive and go high in the future.

That's true, the money you earned easily will be gone soon because for sure you don't know how to value that profit. Spending more time studying the market will make you more successful in the future.

The problem with trading full time is that since trading is based on performance many new traders can't make money at the beginning so they basically can't support themselves unless they got a wife that works or they live with their parents or they are some part time student.

This is the reason why most traders these days with computers and mobile phones they usually trade part time with their supplemental full time job. And it's very rare for a trader to actually quit their day job and persuit trading full time.

Yes it's the reality but the truth is many can't make it in this business.

There are several ways to make profit from trading, but for sure you need to learn the basic and there is some misconception that mention trading could make people rich easily, but in reality people had difficulty to make profit, one of the way to earn profit is to hold the coin and sell it at right moment, to used this strategy the person need to see the potential and the possibility to go big, teading need a lot of dedication and experience, so its not an easy process to earn from trading

Giving suggestions is not a bad thing tho,but convincing them to do that this is wrong,if your friend is new just help and guide him right way if you are good at it that is what the real friends will do.But no one really know which coins will give profits so explain him about the market situation and help him to understand invest and trade on your own risk with backup in case if he made loss.

in the crypto world, I do two things, trading on some crypto that have high daily trading volume, and keep holding some crypto that I believe is suitable for investments like bitcoin and ethereum

Iam doing day trader and take profit only 10% to 20% on every trade, and use stop loss 5%. Currently trading activity is second my job, but i can spend times for trading about 8 hours aday. To make profit consistent from trading is not easy and we can not guarantee to make profit monthly from it, so we should be use trading as second job.

This is very hard and one has to think twice before making trading his first job.

This is the right choice to do for those people who started their adventure in trading. They really should know what they are doing first and start with the basic to do their own research on how the price changes, what is the purpose of the price chart and in time, they will learn everything while doing their own trade. I am pretty sure that the blame is in you if you advise what altcoin to invest when the bears hit the market. They will surely cry a lot and end up pointing their fingers on you and will surely hate investing again in crypto  :D

I'm sure by 'real trading' he meant traditional trading of Forex, commodities, derivatives, etc as trading cryptocurrencies is relatively new.

By swing trading, you mean taking a few pips? What trading platforms can this be done please? I also want to give up day trading due to the stress involved.

True! Actually trading should be seen as a profession which also makes it a job but unfortunately, a lot of people see it as gambling instead.

When it comes to professions, you really want to learn so much to be able to get successful at what you are doing and if you by any chance make a mistake of taking it with levity, the chances of being dealt with huge failure is pretty close to 100%.

Trading is something that requires knowledge, practise and experience and if you are not patient enough to get it right, it will not be a good experience at all. Taking it as a job will require you to always put much effort into learning in most cases.

In the world of crypto, people don't need to become a "literal" professional trader with pure knowledge about trading technical terms, trading technical analysis, trading technical indicators or whatever trading tools is that. All professional analysis are bound to be spoiled because of the current state of volatility and fluctuations in cryptocurrency.

People just need basic knowledge to be able to build a great experienced. That experienced will teached them how to deal with all the risks involved in doing crypto trades. No need to undergo as full time or considered it as professional job if there is really no time for that. I have seen lots of people who become successful in doing trades but can't even understand how to read chart lines. That's why crypto trading is somehow really different from the usual trading (forex,stocks etc.)

Enough with the spoon feeding, if they want to learn then they must thrive to learn and not to spoon feed with someone because in the mean time you can rely on that person but what if that person gone or moved away? Do you still have to follow him because you want some help again? It may takes a lot longer to learn all the process but at least you learn it on your own way and not by feeding you all the details.

If u maintain a rule for your trading then it can call job.Because trading have some usual work that have to do continue.If you run your trading section in manual system then it will be proper maintained.

Almost everybody wants a free education, money, information, etc., but most of them they did not apply it on their daily lifestyle they just come and go as if nothing because they were dependent to someone. To become a trader is not that easy because it requires a lot of effort and patience to understand and to escape the losing streak with just a minimum amount that's being used for every information that you have to learn.

treat trading as business you work hard if u put your efforts u get profits   

When we join in the crypto market we obviously see the trade or find more opportunities to get rich. It's a job for us. I'm in the crypto market for all purposes and opportunities. trading as well as looking for good coins because i see it as a major task.

Exactly and i don't feel ashamed of accepting it that i was one of them and when i face loss and i realised how under knowledge i am and with complete knowledge what all things you can achieve.Trading in bitcoin requires great knowledge of Wallets,exchanges,transaction and etc.These are the minimum requirement and after this you can start your trading which will update you with advance knowledge.

I agree with what you said becausrmost of the newbie of this days are too lazy to do some research in terms of all aspect in crypto currency which is one of the reason the forum admin also set some restriction law. However, we shouldn't leave them on their own because they still some guardian and tips from us and it will be nice if you could enlighten your friend.
Meanwhile, I'm here to know what new in crypto, seize the opportunity that comes my way by buying, selling and holding good coins.

Trading would only be a job when you do make fully pay attention to it but there are people still manages to engage themselves into trading without have much time yet we know that there are several types of traders in the market which its either a long term type or short term and both things do still require skills and knowledge which you have said these things cant really be attained over time.This is grained thru time and experience towards trading.The longer you are involved the better you become, dont take shortcuts in life because things will just go along the way if you do follow up even the basic rule.

You said we i think you have a team like us, i have a team in trading this is already our job which we put more than 8hours of our time searching and learning which coin will be good to trade or to hold.
I agree to OP that we should know the process of trading if you are very greedy without knowing how risky investing in crypto and do trafing i think the capital you have will be lost very quick.

Everyone needs to make their own trading style to be a successful trader. By following others trading advice, A trader can't stay a long time in the trade. A good research, practice and hard work can help a new trader. Loss and Profit are common words in trading. So, be brave to lose and avoid following someone's trading strategy, Make your own style, you will be a successful trader. So, I want to quote " Treat trading as your job"

I got a new method for long-term trading, joining several groups and getting information about new coins that would enter a large exchange.
I bought it and when the voting was done, I already got 20% profit. This is not easy because voting is not always successful.

I think it's nothing wrong when trading treat as job as long you know what your doing and you know to manage it well. And its depends to your strategy to make a profit every day.

Trading should be treated seriously, and its good for a beginners to know everything about trading first before they focus on making money. Greediness will just make you broke later and you will suffer because of that.

Treating trading as your job will prevent you from seeking a short term gain but rather looking at the long term of the potential coin you wish to trade. Trading is 50 percent research and 50 percent knowing knowing how to control your risk /reward ratio.

we must continue to analyze and we will gain experience to be able to make the best decisions. trading is a matter that requires accuracy and not just limited to selling and buying. Trading requires a strategy and that is what will differentiate what we will get.

I find it hard to treat trading as our primary job because the income that we might gain is not permanent so i could not sustain all our daily necessities so I just consider it as a extra source of income. The market is also unstable so we can't rely all our needs in trading.

I think you can try to spend some amount of money to make an experiment in trading if you want to use trading as a daily job. My trading activities are not daily, but I always check the market before I trade and if I don't see a good coin to buy and sell then I will not trade in that day. But if I can see the chance of the coin will increase in the next few days or week, then I will buy that coin and maybe I will make two or three times buy of the coin. For me, it depends on the market movements, and as long as there is a good coin to buy, then I can try to buy one or two coins. The last time I bought the coin is on two days ago, and till now, I don't have a plan to sell because I see that coins will increase in the short time, so I decided to wait for a while.

I want to do this in the future to consider trading as my source of income full time
But i know i have more to learn ,my plan is to undergo trainings needed.

I don't think trading can be learned instantly, it certainly takes a lot of time to get experience at every market moment. therefore starting to study now is the right choice for the future

The more serious you are with this the more focused you will be with it. So yeah I do believe that trading is not just something which gets invested at the first seconds and then expect returns within next seconds. Nope, it do need a lot of research, putting out time in it and then working out the proper math for the final results. Crypto currencies are behavioural assets, they behave according to the nature surrounding to them. Any single mistake around the projects, government decisions, investors movements and much more can change the trading patterns and ultimate fate of what we have traded.  :D
So its out duty/job to be more careful about it than ever.

Trading cannot be learned instantly because it is a step by step process. You will only develop your trading experties through experience. You might get lucky at first being able to profit in your first trade but if you are not careful then you would eventually lose what you have gained.

One thing that would be a hindrance for you when trading is your emotions and you would be able to learn to control it when you are always trading. You would notice that you become more rational and not easily affected by other people's opinion. You know when to buy and to sell and know risk management.

Yes, trading isn't an easy thing to do if we want to survive longer in the business. There are too many coins out there and if we intend to be familiar with most of them it will be very difficult. For trading activities, it will be better if we focus only on few coins therefore it will be more manageable. My trading activities depend on many factors. News, pattern and feeling in combination.

You have said it right you must treat your trading as your job. If someone ask me about the current exchange and what coins to buy for me I will tell them that it will depend on the exchange that you want to used and look for a coin that has a good review on the exchanges that you will used so that they will know on their own what coin they will used and they will not blame others on suggesting that coin. It is not hard to know what coin you should use to trade you just need to do your job, no one is responsible for your job.

Agree with you, people educate themselfs for years to have a profession, but for some reason, not many people put that level of effort into learn trading. Trading is not difficult, if we just talk about using an exchange, but to do it good, especially in the bearmarket, it is not for everybody.

Good point right there! One of the good reason why not everyone treat trading as if it is a job. The same reason why I dont want to put a full time effort taking care of my investment in crypto space. Trading is a very risky investment activity and yeah the OP is right, it would take a lot of effort, research, techniques and experience before one could achieve a high winning percentage.
I really appreciate the courage of the people who does trading as their primary source of living.


Just like saying " buy low, sell high" Its easy to say, but its hard to execute.

I know. I too treat my trading as my only job and I focused on it every day by planning my next move and for the future. Many people treat trading as a gamble.

You cant do trading as your primary job unless you dont care losing your principle or you have a fixed income through which you can sustain. The market is bearish still and it will be harder to trade unless we see a bullrun.

Gradually begin. First bought, and kept. Then I liked the process of trading, and I began to trade more actively.

You know, for a while now, a lot of people have decided to take trading with some easy hand or will I say with levity and that is the reason why so many people have gotten burned. Trading is a job that can be very reliable and you can do each and every day to get something substantial from it, but it just will not happen easily that way as it takes a lot of learning just as any other profession out there.

As long as you do not see the need to learn and practice, there will always be a problem one way or the other in the long run. The best is to learn, know what you are doing, practice and gain confidence and in no time, you will see the great result.

I think that part is what certainly makes people easily bored in starting trading, because we know the financial ability of each individual is different.
I myself in trading need to think a few times before buying a coin that is worth buying, because it is a factor of the trend that has occurred in the last few months

May be people or someone can treat trading as job. However, if someone want to treat trading as job he must be able to have a good or big capital to run the trading. It is good to trade or invest  but one must be careful about what he will calk invest into.

Trading is not as simple as buying and selling as newbies in cryptocurrency trading. If you really want to learn trading, you should invest enough time to study and significant experiences. At first you may experience failure or loss but don't lose hope cause these experience will make you better trader.

Treat trading as your job i think it yes because my cousin it she treat it as her job because its not easy to trade you need more time to make your grad successful.

This is the problem with most people who want to be a trader. They are skipping the process and they don't want to learn. They want to make profit immediately without proper learning. This is another way of giving money to others. Not knowing what you need to know regarding trading.

I'm trading at this moment but not that much. I'm more of a hodler right now. I don't give any advice too to other people because I'm not an expert trader. I let them go to the process of learning it if they want to gain profit in trading.

Trading is a very engaging activities and trading cryptocurrency is full time job indeed!  Treating your trading acts will keep you organised, focus and more importantly make sure that you trade to profit!

That is the thing! And most especially when you have the zeal to want to do things right. A lot of people today are always in a haste to learn, in a haste to start making money and then the basic things they need to know they do not get to know it.

Trading is a profession that requires great knowledge and it can be a job when you are good at what you do as that is basically the main idea anyway, but you will wish it is a job you do not take, if you do not have enough knowledge and experience to get the best from it. In terms of experience, it is necessary to at least test out your strategy several times before going into the real world, and of course you cannot even have a strategy to build on, if you simply do not learn.

It is almost considered as my "job". My real job is freelance work but in reality I am taking bitcoin as a payment option and because of that I end up getting bitcoins in my wallet instead of fiat and I have already stopped taking fiat as a payment option almost 2 years ago which means I do not really have a use for it.

Since then, I try to cash out only minimal amount of bitcoins I have and spend it on real life stuff and pay the bills and whatever I have left goes straight to binance and I try to trade there. Since it is a viable deal to make money via trading it is still important to spend a good chunk of time deciding on what to buy because you can't overreact or rush into buying something considering it would ruin your financial future if you do that.

You need to be careful and you need to take your time before doing anything. I still think long term trading beats short term though.

I can totally relate to this as I have experienced the same. I have been trading from quite a while now and my friend who is new to trading keeps asking me what to buy in order to get good profit.
He often asks me how to know if a coin will go up soon and how to know the right time to buy and sell. I advice him to learn and practice trading on his own rather than depending on a second person for such things.
We can't keep on asking others for our investments. It's better to research and analyse the market on our own and then make the investment. Even if we loose the money, we  won't have to blame others for this.

Firstly, I believe you find it hard to treat trading as a primary job because you're not a day trader or don't much experience about crypto trading and that's nice though because we can't all do the samething. However, the OP of this thread was actually referring to some crypto trader which are lazy of learning trading basic analysis,skills and doing research, so he was telling them to treat crypto trading as their job.

The problem with some people is that they are always in a hurry and they will miss the most things. Trading is an act which you must learn if you must succeed on trading. Trading can make or mar anybody but those who  learn to trade will always remain in the market  doing what they know best while those who skipped to learn how to trade will always be refunding their accounts after losing each time. Every endevour has a procedure on how to do it and  succeed and there is no other way. So learn and learn well so that you will be one of best.

Process. I think that best suites the definition of starting to be a trader.

It cannot be rushed. A lot of times bad things happens to those who step in without even having knowledge and just going with the hype.
You must know what coin or token you will trade. Its history, updates, is it still being maintained? Those kind of stuffs which needs answers first and it takes time.

of course because one of my jobs is trading in the crypto world, so I made it into my trade, the results of which were big enough for myself

Define long term trading. If it's like a year at minimum, it's more like an investment rather than a trade. Overall, the farther people distance themselves from trading, the more likely it is for them to profit. Based on that you are right.

The only thing is that it might just as easily work against you. I'm cherry picking now, but if you bought last year during the bull run, which a lot people did in the hope to profit, they for sure regret it right now.

It can easily take a couple of years before these people see the price go up to the point at which they finally break-even. It's the perfect example of how longer term investments don't always result in a positive outcome.

I think that's also why derivative platforms have gained a tremendous amount of popularity. It allows people to profit from any market direction, regardless of the sentiment. Big plus in my opinion.

Most people that rush cryptocurrency trading I think crypto trading is just the act of buying cheap and selling at high price base on past story they read about cryptocurrency from some crypto early adopters and we both crypto currency is far more than that after the high traffic.

We should take trading seriously as we are risking our very own money here.

You are right, we can't advise what coins/token to buy because we have different preferences and ours might not suit them. The only thing that i could advise would be trader is "buy low and sell high".

Right.In trading,you need to be knowledgeable so you must make a thorough research and understand what you have been reading.Youtube videos may of great hep too.Later on,you will apply this on real life trading.A person who has come prepared may have a great advantage than those who come up only just to buy and sell and walks out whenever gets lose.

Personally,, this was one of the reasons I started learning and I haven't regretted. I use each moment I get to learn something new in this facet. I have high hopes that one day I'm going to trade like a professional.

The best  question for myself is  "what does it takes  to be  a successful trader" and  the  best answer   is patient  and willing  to  fully understand  trading   by studying it ;)  The  way I see trading  is not like  buy/sell  stocks  in the market process and be able to make profit   it's  a way  of learning the  market  itself and make  profit  from it.

There are those who accepts fee's to give advise on which coin or alts to buy and there are those who accepts investments so one can trade for them for a fee. I have met this kind of trader where you can invest $1,000 USD and interest is fix, so regardless if the market is bull or bear, you will get 8% per month. And there are those who just trade for themselves on a daily basis. They have a goal to reach and they consider that as their day job.

Of course. It's easy to sit in your pajama pants and click buttons. True progress comes from every day routine. Operating at your best. You have to stay on top of the game when trading, but also balance out being healthy. Off screen time is just as important. Impulsiveness and not being balanced leads to bad mistakes. Not all of us are good at 'jobs' anyway!

Well, for now, I only sell assets that I have, and do not trade. seeing a market that was quite a crisis, made me refrain from trading. well, maybe trading will be a very good job, but for me, the current situation is less profitable.

Just like my friends, they often ask which coins are potential, when prices will rise, and which coins are good for short terms, and so on. first of course I will not give my strategy, secondly he depends too much on me, third they will miss/skip the learning process because they always depend, you are right if you want to profit in trading, then learn and use your own knowledge, so you don't blame others when you lose

Yes I agree. The advantage of working at your own pace and time is not a problem. No need to ask your manager for a short break and take a nap any time you want. However the disadvantage of working like this is one might not take it seriously. Its better if a room will be available just for working from home so no outside disturbance can happen when your working.

You will be surprised to see traders still get profits even on a bear market that we are experiencing now. They are happy with earning 1.5% per trade in a day, they sell right away when they see that they hit their goal.

HODLing and trading; are totally two different ball game.
Trading is an act of taking advantage of the market fluctuations either in a shorter or a longer time frame while holding is to just keep holding for the long term until you are able to get the final best from you holding as an investment.

Trading is a job and it is not an easy one most especially if you decide to make it hard for yourself. It will always be hard if you take it with levity and feel you can do it without learning. With trading, you really want to get trained first and know what you are doing before hitting the charts; otherwise getting burned is something I can guarantee.

at other times many say right time to invest because price is down, but you break to trade, indeed every trader has a different strategy, but has same goal, namely profit

No, it cannot. It takes time and you really should not be in a rush when it comes to learning how to trade. A lot of people have made that mistake and I am sure the way things turned out for the must have been awful.Trading is something that you need to take your time to get things right both in learning and in practice. For instance, I had to give myself about almost 6 months of thorough learning and practicing and that was how I got it right.

A lot of people even used more than that, but in most cases, if you really want to have confidence you should learn first, and take your time to practice and build on your strategy using some demo sites. If you do not do it this way, you will just find yourself feeling frustrated at the end.

trading is a full time job only its getting active income , while investing is passive income

When you are in the state of being a trader you must love the thing you are doing. You must love this trading system because nothing will happen if you just want to earn and not loved your job. Treat trading as a job because it gives you profits and earning. Be wise and love this trading so that you will not feel hard and enjoy trading and earning.

Oh, yeah. Proper trading takes over your life! It requires a lot of time and effort which is why some people are not as successful at running it.

You can trade anytime, it will depend on you it can be full time or not. What I mean here is that, treat trading seriously, as your job that needs to work for. At the end of the day you will be the one to benefit on your hardwork.

If people started to earn money in trading, for sure they will love this market but of course you still need to be more responsible on you trading decisions to lessen the risk and maximize your potential profit. Its not easy to earn but in the process you will experience this thing.

I don’t see anything wrong with asking questions on which coins you’re meant to buy and which not to buy. No matter how wise you think you might be, it’s possible that you can make mistake and invest your money in a coin that is not worth your time and money.

And not giving answers to that answer shows that you’re not as wise as you think you are. And what do you mean by treating trading as a job? Trading can be a part-time cause its not easy to do trading and profit does not Come from it at all times, so it’s best to have another job.

Well, trading is a very demanding job which requires most of your time. Many people fail to realize this. They think that crypto job is just some freelance job that can be done at your convenient time. Well, that is not true. Even if you are sleepy, you need to watch over your bid assets, otherwise, you'll wake up at a big loss. It's really something you need to take seriously if you really wanted to succeed in it. I remember my spouse used to say that crypto is my mistress and his unbeatable rival, since it takes up most of my time.

at the moment I am trading, I use it to treat it the same as I am looking for money and just like I am working, so I will consider trading is a light job but it can generate a lot of profits so this trading is very pleasant.

it must be because with my own crypto trade it can earn a substantial income in a short time. So I made the trade my work which I focused on at this time, although often the market has experienced a drastic decline

I strongly agree mate,  you should stand on your own feet and not expecting anything to others. That is how you could hone you skills.

Most of the newbies are greedy, sorry for the term but no offense. I'm not saying all but majority of them are eager to earn quickly, that's why most of them always asking how to earn in trading in fast but easiest way. They don't want to go hard work instead skipping those basic things in learning the basic about in trading. So the result in the end most of them cried out tears because they've lost a big amount of capital. The beginner must really treat this as their own personal job, this is the reason why trading became an extra income because you/we are spending time while learning here and at the same time we trade slowly to understand it little by little.

yeah, you are right. trade is not just selling and buying coins. all there is research, analysis, calculation, and understanding of the market and the coins. so that it cannot be done without learning. for me personally. I currently do short-term trading by taking profits of 5% to 10%.

In my own view, I can't treat trading as a sustainable source of income. I mean this is not kind of work that you can rely on your daily needs, because you are just like gambling your money and putting into a high risk that makes possible you've loose. Instead of that why you did not find a decent job that having a stable source of income not just relying on trading. Besides, you can still do trading after you work but much better investing and hold it for a long term.

I am a student personally i like to do trading and this is my part-time business as well as. And i know trading is not to easy its is too hard and before starting trading everyone must be informative about crypto market. I have lost my 50% capital for doing wrong trade. So now i am starting to buy at low value and wait for biggest pump and this is my actual trading strategy.

Trading is not for newbies, trading involves high risk so always think twice before chosing trading as your first profession, trading needs lot of patience and practice, one can wipe out account in few days but the same time trading is called a gentlemen game, if you know how to trade, no other business can fetch you that easy and high profit as of trading. I would suggest anyone to devide their capital into trading and investment, also if you are trading full time, also keep atleast one other source of your income like joining crypto bounty projects.

As a trader, trading is the best work for me also only a part time job work but its profitable some any coins will rise up for their price you can earn a big money.

Your success in trading comes generally from when you see your account growing over time.
Trading is a lot, and you really need to be ready to always learn and do things right to be able to get the best from it.

Being able to classify it as a job is based on you trying as much as possible to know what you are doing, and normally, that mindset of seeing it as a profession that you can use to bring in something regularly for you over time, is one thing that can always be of great help in driving you to want to learn as much as you can to be able to get things done in the right manner. Like you said, not all of us are good at jobs, but in the same vein, we have to be at least good at something, as no one was born to be a trader from birth, everything one way or the other is learned over time both from seeking knowledge and from practice.

We need to be mentally prepared. Some of us might use this kind of start. They begin to trade in the demo version. They train there to gain some confidence even though it's totally different when we use the real money to bet. The pace of a person who trades in a hurry is usually chaotic, and that can have a bad impact on the result later.

This is the greatest thing crypto currencies has ever gave me. I am usually at my job for the whole day, I get home at night, gamble for some time and look at my investments. Read some articles, some projects I can invest in, look for probable price changes and that's it. I don't do this every day, don't me wrong the reason why investing amd trading crypto currency is great. In fact there is this one whole month that I did not use my salary, I just used the profit I got from my investments.

Unless you are unemployed or a guy that only spend their time in front of computer, I wouldn't recommend to treat trading as a job. Yes, you can earn money through trading but imagine how much risk you have to face to get those rewards (JUST please don't only think about the profit, but think the risk as well).

For me trading is much good than job during the time of having a high price of every token,profits multiply into many l didn't expect but during this crashing peroid.lts not good to trade or invest.No assurance of profit.

Then please, make sure you do and not also be in a haste to learn as that has really put a lot of people in a position they would not have loved to be in. When you see trading as your job, you will want to do it right so you can get the best from it, and in this case, you are your own boss and how you do things will be dependent on how your knowledge and experience is able to pull you through.

Trading is a lot to take in at once, which is why people need to realize that if you do not seek for knowledge first in any profession, the chances of not being successful is 100%.

trading can be said to be a job but trading should not be your main job because when you trade it might not be able to enjoy the fun of working in an office and trading is also not always profitable it will definitely be trapped at a very expensive price and even loss.

I prefer to trade, but this does not negate the fact that I have a long-term coin.For trading it is impossible to consider it as a hobby, especially at the initial stage, perhaps with time you can reduce the work time and increase the period.But large periods work only when there is already a good capital, but for now only difficult work.

for professionals, maybe treating trade as a job is a good thing, this can be used as a profit producer because it might be a trade if done well like a job that can be maximized and it can be used as an easy way and the results can be enjoyed.

yes, most average beginners trade carelessly without knowing the strategy and further research. they are easily tempted by the benefits to be gained from the results of the trade. but if they are not careful in taking the right action, they will easily suffer losses and not make a profit

Yes we can treat trading as a job, but keep in mind few things, do you have surplus money,to hold the coins and courage to take the risk and moreover
patience, if you have these things  then off course  you can treat  trading as a job.

There are even companies who built their own company for trading. They make company and hire traders that will look and research on coin potential.

Here I earn in different ways. Sometimes I just buy and sell in order to make money. Sometimes I invest in ICO projects.
But I always accumulate in parallel those coins that in my opinion will bring me good profit in the future.

Yes l treat trading as my job because it gives me income to provide the needs of my family.Trading really helps to get a profit as you discover how to make money in it.

I go with buying and selling dude. At times I keep the potential coins at open trade demanding for high rate. This would be in line for Max 3 days. I keep a minimum threshold on profit and keep trading.

Certainly one can earn from trading even at red market. As you say yes need to have knowledge on trading. As you go by, you will certainly learn much more.

There are not so many active traders that consider their activity the main full-time job, but they exist. As for me, I prefer holding as I have a very good permanent work.

I think it will be difficult, but it depends on each individual.
I have never seen anyone who trades as a main job because they have routine expenses every month, if they lose trading just 1x it has reduced their capital.
so I think those who trade as their main workers who have enough financial if they lose the trade.

Still, you’d better to have permanent job especially when you are just starting to learn about trading and you just have a small capital. Its better to have more sources of income than to depend on your profit in trading which is not guaranteed in the long term.

Yes, there's a lot of companies who are doing this right now, because as far as I know, your profit in trading is not taxable, or you will just have to pay a small amount of taxes. Bigger people treat trading as a serious job simply because they create big money, but of course everyone should be more serious in this market.

It depends on how good the skill of that person because it will difficult to analyze the market without good skills. I have a friend who quit from his job and doing trading only. He knows that he can earn more money from trading and it will bigger than his monthly payment. He tells me that after he learns many things about trading, he decides to leave his jobs because he thinks that he can do a lot of thing with trading and he can make money from trading only. Besides that, with the earning money from trading, he can fill his daily needs and he still has money to buy another thing.

I was a trader in a conventional market before, I was not too difficult to adapt digitally and finally entered crypto asset trading.

the stock market is a new thing I have learned in the past 5 years. Many things are still anxious because the market tends to be unstable, but I think to be able to handle it smoothly. I only focus on crypto trading now and have to survive with the situation.

We have to treat them a job otherwise, it is impossible for us to make money, every time we have to learn new things in order to book profits. Trading is a difficult job even though we are experienced and which sometimes it is impossible to make profits through trading. If you don't consider it a job, then you will not show much interest in trading.

how selfish you are budz?You said he was your friend but denying about the exchange you use?I dont see any reason why its going to be harder for telling someone about what exchangers we used when it was not really a big deal.thats absolutely stupidity for me

But regarding to OPs question.if you’re a knowledgeable cryptonians and has enough skills to gain in trading,then you can consider this as a job.but if you are just starting then forget about this and study first

Sorry to hear that you have to survive now. I think that you should study further how to consistently make money regardless of the market situation. The main thing to follow is to leave part of your income in USDT or in US dollars (depending on how you are comfortable). This money will help you continue to trade, even if the course of your coins collapsed.
With this money, you can continue to buy currencies at low prices and act further on the basis of your goals (increase the number of coins for averaging the purchase price or the subsequent sale of coins and profit). Good luck!

I don't agree. There are some traders who force themselves to treat trading as a job. But you should not argue that all such like that. I and all my friends who are engaged in trading, do it because we like it, and profit is a nice bonus. Personally, I am captured trade and the crypto world in general. Therefore, I do this with pleasure.

Yeah, those things should also be considered. Trading is risky but if taken seriously and with guts i feel that you could overcome the risk be successful in it. Trading involves a lot of money that if you could earn huge in a span of one year then you could make it as a full time job. We work for money and if we could earn money through trading then i would consider quitting my regular job and make trading my full time job.

It's also considered be a job since we are rendering time on it.  Mostly we do trading everyday same thing we do with doing day job, the only difference from crypto is that we can made it at home or anywhere at least we have internet connection.
We can actually do both crypto trading and day job everyday but not at the same time cause all of them are time consuming.

Don't play with your money, do your trading as if you value your money. Trading is too hard, and your profit is still not sure here so better to do trading seriously. I know someone who are just trading to make money easily, and now he is losing that hard earn money because he don't know how to trade well.

Well, I hope he would learn his lesson by having a trading plan now because he already lose some being careless of his trading. I bet he earned a lot in his first few trades because he gained a lot of confidence but later on, he learned that market would not be going up forever. Losing is somehow an inconvenience need for trading so that one can grow and learn in what aspects a trader needs to improve.

IF you have the ability and the courage,together with knowledge and skills then why not,you can ofcourse make this a job than working in real life.but make sure you have all this attitudes because if not,then for sure you are a total failure just like many of the cryptonians here whos entering the trading without those skills

I personally think this trade is more of a side job. Actually it can be pursued if you want to become a professional trader, but someone must really understand how this work always runs smoothly and continues to benefit without risk. Since this trade can be done at any time without any limitations, it is far better this is only a side job. Besides, the sale and purchase price also cannot be ascertained when it will go up and when it will go down. . .

Treatment of trading as you job is relevant which expresses responsibility as well as serious attitude towards it. If you give it your time and definitely it will take time to get started with crypto coins and then it will not immediately result in profit but you will have maintain your survival first and then after practical experience you will come to know that trading is not easy as much we were thinking before. However, it becomes easy if you learn first and then proceed towards practical experience without having expectations for profit.

In my experience, I just only hodl my cryptos and make it a long term investment because I have a permanent job so trading is not my expertise maybe in the near future if I have more freetime I want to learn the trading.

I feel sad every time I read about this kind of greed, only if they know how to control their self for sure they will not lose big money. There is no market that continues to pump without experiencing any dump, so I think everyone should be aware of this thing.

Same thing with me, I'm currently engaged in a private company while doing my cryptojob, trading is not that ideal for me but I still find myself trading with the good coins especially when the market is dump. Knowing your priority is good for us, time management is the key for sure and I know most of us here have a real job outside cryptoworld but still, they are earning a lot of money here simply because they treat this activities as their job.

some traders I know only consider trading as a place to grow assets they have in other ways because they have jobs in the office so according to some people trading is just their side job.

if they only consider it as place to grow thier assets then that is not what you call a trading anymore but rather that is already investing since they are only hodling the coins for a longer time without doing anything .

good for your friends bcause they have an office job . many people do also wanted to have a job like that ( including me ) but i guess we are just unfortunate since we are not blessed with a wealthy family to continue studying on college.

anyway , whether you alreay have a real job offline , you must sill treat trading as a real job so that you can always give your best .

I am buying and holding and investments is the best way to go now than trading. Traders are making money but those that are holding are going to make good money in future.  The future of cryptocurrencies market is very bright and if we want to be part of tomorrow we should invest now.

You're right, but the hardest part of this is when you look at the price of coins that are going down like this. yeah, but I think some people make this their opportunity. Well, for now, work like this is really risky.

Trading is always risky if you don't plan them correctly, of course, prices will drop in the market and we have to accumulate them for that we need to keep spare funds in order utilise the dumps. In this way, people are making huge money when the prices are dropping.

Hey guy I wanna trade with cryptocurrency assets but I have a few knowledge about or how to start trading. so if you have enough time to teach others about learning how to trade and taking profit without no lose. if you do it I will be a student of yours

Apparently, the main reason why you are trading in the first place is to be able to take advantage of the market fluctuations for your own benefit, and the benefit we are talking about here is profit, no other two ways about it. Now, how you end up profiting or not, will always be based on how good and knowledgeable you are in most cases.

When you treat trading as nothing, then it will be nothing, but when you treat it as something that is basically relevant and good for you, then you will treat it as such. This is the reason why sometimes, the way certain people see things and tend to do it right by all means is different from the approach of others to it.

I cannot make trading my main job, because I have a more important job, cryptocurrency trading is not suitable to be used as a main job because it cannot provide monthly income.

In fact trading is a profession and if you want to become a professional trader you need to get good knowledge of trading and after that its important to get some experience, in fact experience is the most important think in all field of life which make you perfect.

Trading is just equivalent to a regular job by others because they also earn from it. Others who treat trading as alternative job also admit that they sometimes earn bigger than what they earn from their primary job.

I'm not a good trader. I only buy the coins I love and keep them until they give me good returns. But sometimes the market is not as good as it is now makes me lose a lot

we spend 9hrs if we do job , i am sure if you put all that 9hrs in analyzing charts working on your week points learning you can be successful in trading
if anyone cant do this ,improving your weakness then your simply gambling with your hard earned money thinking that i will make profits   

without knowledge why you play with your money , learn and invest you will love to invest even more

although i am newbie i have 2years of  trading experience   :)

At the beginning I learned trading, I read the tutorial and followed the coin pump and dump signals, guess what happened I lost my total and my funds ran out, apparently every signal group had their own goals and sometimes it didn't really matter if the members lost.
there I learned more about market analysis and noticed some credible news websites and after I understood that it was related and slowly I started to make profits from trading and this was a separate satisfaction

I don't treat trading as my main job, because it is so risky and unpredictable. I treat trading cryptocurrencies as an additional source of income, while I keep working for my regular offline job. This way, even losing some trades don't affect badly my living since I have my stable source of income.

I am fully confident that crypto trading (as well as any other type of activity) is worth doing only when a person is ready and wants to learn this well. Only in this way can he clearly understand what to do.
Here I am in order to both buy and sell and accumulate good coins for great profit in the future. That is my strategy.
I treat trading more as a pleasant hobby. I never force myself to go and trade, I don't need it. If I want to trade, then I just do it and get pleasure from what I do. If I don't want to trade, then I just don't do it. In general, I believe that if you force yourself to trade, then such trades in most cases will not be successful.

right, trading is not as easy as it looks. if we only imagine trading then everything looks so easy, even though in trading it is very difficult to predict and determine the right time to sell or buy.
I have a goal here to collect coins and get the benefits of these coins. besides that I also trade in ethereum.

Trading for living is purpose of many trader but to reach it is not easy. For beginner trader should be use trading activity for part times job,  while learn more about risk management and trading strategy.  We should be have others source income beside from trading because with fluctuation in the market is very difficult to get profit with consistently.

Since i trade and earn some extra profit i treat this as a part time job of my life Because trading is more on investing and more on experience to learn and to earn.

For some it is full time job while for others it is not that much important. Some use it as part time. They earn from it and making their incomes healthier. Some are so keen that they are always talking and thinking about profits and they get it too. So, this is a deviating factor that differs from person to person. Bitcoin is best method of earning money as part time or full-time job.

Most time we tend to take trading likely as normal routine. It trading when taking seriously can earn one profits for daily use. Trading will exposed you to so many things you have not experienced before. Most newbies that want to learn trading doesn't take the necessary time to study it very well before entering it. Treat trading as your job. It will motivate you to do it properly.

I really agree with you, many of the beginner traders skip what is called "process" so they are very difficult with the current conditions and end by asking for advice on coins that must be bought, even though that process will make them more able to face difficult conditions to make a profit.
My trading activities are more about selling and buying when I get a good profit, I am not very brave enough to continue to hold on because in my opinion the current market doesn't support this.

For me, it is purely depend on the person doing the job. We have hundreds of the cases where people have adopted this as job. Most of the time people are doing it as part time. They don’t focus on it more because if they do, they have to leave their permanent job. So other than earning more, bitcoin has slight risky and bumpy road which is mostly avoided by the investors as full time.

Trading is not an easy one to make money and we have to consider it as a job because we are investing our hard earned money into it. There are many people who failed to make money through trading because of lack of less patience. Trading will give us good returns only when we need active analysis of the prices.

many people treat trade as a main job, this can happen because now trading can provide good profits. including myself treating trading as a job is a good and useful thing

Its good that you treat trading seriously which can really gives you so much profit. Keep on doing that and for sure you will be more blessed in trading.

If you are serious in trading for me its ok, no matter how much time you spend in trading. Investors will always have their choice, and it will always depend on their strategies that can benefit them much. Yes its risky, but of course it will be more worth it if you trade cautiously.

If people have already full time job then they can treat and earn through trading in the part time. But for those who do not have any job or in college can become full time trader and grow in this field and earn as per the risk capacity you can take it and be your own boss and manage as per your timings.

Yes, if you are doing well then you will always be ready to at least take it as a job at the most. However, the issue most of the time is that people do not tend to get the fact that trading is a profession on its own and every profession can lead to a job only if you are capable of learning the profession pretty well and doing well as per the prescribed way. Yes, trading could not be done in a way like most people do imagine. When you are ready to put all your efforts and dedication then trading will become a job like a daily job.

For instance, a doctor does not just become a doctor overnight, as that will take years of learning, examinations, and so many practices before even getting better, so it is not like something that would happen all of a sudden. If people can see trading that way, they will know never to rush into learning and take their time, if they really want to get the best from it.

You are right, if you are having another job as trading, you will not have to work for day and night never think you are jobless if you are a trader, gradually it improves and it never get at sudden if you are ready to wait, t will make your future brighter as a trader. trading gives plenty of money you only need to know some skillful things about trading and then you will be the most rich one, keep reading, earn more, learn more and trade for long with enough skills, I am sure you will be a happy trader.

mm , I don't know if such a risky thing could be considered a main job!
Yeah there are some people making lots of money in it but the number of losers are much more than gainer , market is too risky and I still don't know if i can consider it as a main job .

Most people want to actually have the freedom, trade for a living, work for themselves, and control their own time, but they do not want to learn. There is always going to have to be a sacrifice to everything in life and before you can peradventure get to learn how to do things right, you must always be willing to acquire knowledge first.

The problem with a whole lot of people is that they are too lazy when it comes to learning, they want to rush everything and then assume that is how life would basically just be like, but in reality, there is actually no way you can get the best unless you take your time to not end up skipping what you should be doing first.

In my opinion, it all depends on the strategy that we have, so we cannot determine whether we have to trade quickly or hold the coin we have. Especially from all that I have considered trading as one source of income, for me trading has given me a lot of money and now I can get a much better economic condition than before. I can make my family happy, for me it has been very meaningful and I am very grateful to my friend who has introduced trading to me a few years ago. Believe that Trading is one of the gates to success !!

Having more potential coins that promise if holding for the future has growth is the right step to take advantage of opportunities that occur on the market rather than making panic sales that make a loss

With such a risk, the main job is probably a difficult choice and I think we should not choose it as the main job, which only adds to the pressure on trading, however, we still need to be serious about it, we should treat it sincerely, learn and grow. That will help us win more and more success, many people want to make money with trading but they are too superficial, they even despise and are not interested in any knowledge in trading, and the wall of failure always hinders their development, they do not understand that seriously is very important in every job

I always considered trading as my job because I knew that if I did not work together and make stupid decisions, it would make the investments evaporate. You may think this is a game, and you are willing to give up, but I treat it as a job and just looking for wins.

At the end of the day, one has to go through every situation in order to explore the real essence of trading. Definitely, it is not everyone's cup of tea but I believe that everyone should take at least single experience of it. It doesn't matter if a person is looking at it as a job or freelancing but he should have the mindset to learn from the outcomes of that experience.

No need to fool yourself with false hopes, when we saw a surge in the cryptocurrency market in 2017, many made large investments in cryptocurrencies. Today u do not regret it. But this is not only because of greed, but more because of lack of information and experience.

I also do the same thing, keep staying in the trading position and what we pursue is victory. don't pursue anything except profit. so trading can be used as a job if we can be consistent with the trading.

I meet people with results on traiding, but they told me its full of risk specially when you dont have any other projects where to invest, like buy goods or invest in other bussines, remember that crypto market is so volatile.   8) 8)

Treat trading as your job is alright as long you know what your doing and you always get great profit why not? But you need to be consider all things if you choose to treat your trading as your job because in trading you are always win sometimes market is volatile so think many times before you do it.

Trading is also good for job. But better if you have job better . But if you don't have choice you will be trading as a regular job and for sure you will earn money money if you have a lot of time that give to trading because you will be focus on what you are doing.

Trading is a lot more complex than most think or want it to be. If i can give pointers to those that would like to test the water I would say

1. Talking to a long time trader as much as you can ( about their experiences, books that they read, youtube channel with educational videos, apps that can teach a thing or two ).

2. After gathering materials, research more and take note of every possible things that teaches different strategies.

3. Practice everyday!!!

4. Study the projects of the coins and know their team and of course event dates.

I have recently entered the crypto space. My friend advised me to start from investing in some major coins, so, I bought them and decided to hold for now. But I continue analyzing the market, hoping to start a big game. Currently, it's better holding than trading. Or trade some part of coins at popular and trusted exchanges like CEX. I bought there my first coin for EUR (https://cex.io/btg-eur). I'm quite satisfied with this exchange, the buying procedure was simple and quick.

unless you're a hodler like me

if you go in trading especially in crypto then ya, treat it like its your day job, or prepared to suffer the consequences thereof

its pretty gangster in the space so to speak :)

Yes investing in the good coins is always a best choice as you have less chances of loss if you invest in Top 20 or so coins. Regarding the OP topic, i think we do not need to treat trading as  full time job as it can be done as a part time. This way you will have job income too and also have this trading income.

Trading needs to be considered as job but I suggest everyone to have some other job as their primary source of income because trading is not always profitable so if there are very hard days come then it will be hard for the people to survive and they will be in great danger for the money on those days.But if someone want to be a trader learn it first then only just invest the money here.

Yes, i agree with you OP. Trading is like a job, but some of people have their daily job, have family,  and not have time every day to do trading or allocate only a part of time for trading. I have luck only if i trade for medium time because i not have always time everyday to watch all coins and see which grow, and some of coins not grow so fast, so i buy and put a higher sell order and i check back in 2 days too see if i sell or not grow enough, and if not grow maybe i put sell order a bit lower, depends on total of  all trading.

actually i have been trading from 2 years i was treating it as an extra source of income but after some day i thought until i dont spend time with charts i wont make profits   

of course, because trading in the crypto world was my second job that I worked on because the result was great, so after I knew the crypto world in the field of trade I had made it my job

I have seen this here that mostly people don’t encourage others to join this trading. They say it is hard and difficult that you couldn’t be doing this as full time. Although bitcoin trading isn’t a simple game that everyone without any proper knowledge start playing and getting positive vibes, but it isn’t that much difficult though. Every problem has a solution in book.

You can treat trading as your job if you earn here more than you make with your day job.
Be informed that this is a risky kind of job, we might loss here also, unlike on our day job where we can expect a monthly or fixed salary.
But, we should learn to take the risk if we want to change our lives, and crypto can give that possibility.

We could make trading as our job if we could make profit out of it and besides that we should take this seriously because it involves our money. It may require lot of research but still i would go for experience as they say it is the best teacher ever. You should make your own trade and make your own strategies as you progress in here. Don't copy their strategies, make your own  ;D.

cryptocurrency trading and being a participant from the bounty campaign I now make the main job I do because I still have not got a job in the office, when I got a job in the office maybe I would consider trading as my second job.

well, right now it's very different indeed. beginners just want quick profits. they do not understand the process and learning of trade. and I saw many who got losses. there is no peace in trading with them. lots of questions from beginners but about coin prices. not about how to learn a coin to make long-term profits.

If you are pertaining to daytrading, then I think that would be the worst job you'll ever experienced if and only if you are not that inclined in both technical and fundamental analysis. This would require a lot of hardwork and patience. However, having an another source of income would be great to lessen the amoumt of risk you are taking.

Personally I realized day trading is so hard already, it requires staring at your computer all day and being too conscious of closing positions. I personally do not enjoy it, I prefer going long on a trade and exit when comfortable. Combining day job with active trading is not feasible for me at the moment

It seems like you are a happy man. A permanent salaried job along with some satisfactory investments as well that you have made with bitcoin as part time. Utilizing your free time in best possible way, you are going so amazingly. Don’t just get greed come to your office and have a chill life. And yes, don’t sell or panic, keep waiting and you will get your fruitful reward.

we could doing long term or swing trader if we doit it together with our regular job.actually trading did not need to control the price and chart anytime.but i know its hard to do.

Personally, I keep the coins for a long time and periodically fix the profit and of course buy only carefully selected crypto-currencies that have a popular product!

Not only you there are many people who don't have a job or working in cryptocurrency trading because the future of cryptocurrency is going to be bright. So it is very to consider trading as a job because there are many coins listed in the exchanges where we can start trading at our comfortable places.

No, I do not treat trading as my job because trading I think trading is not profitable for all the time. Sometimes it depends on your luck and you may earn a lot even you may lose a lot from trading. I do trading 8 hours a day because I have another regular job. But for doing well in trading need knowledge and experience as well.

treating trading as work can be done by professional traders because they already understand the whole of the trading and it can be one of the best ways to get profit.

I never consider trading as a job,but instead i treat this as part of my investments but different from my real investment since this has being used my excess money,in short my spare income that i can affod to lose
Always remember that cryptocurrency is virtual and you have no assurance but your Private Key and the numbers on your electronic wallet so be aware of this

Well you can’t say this that you have low chances of loss when you put your investment in top coins. That doesn’t work for everyone. Although it is not in majority too but a good number of traders face problems and loss even trading with high coins like bitcoin and eth and others. Reason is not the coin, the learning they came up with. They are quite crunchy and basic that needs imperilment.

A job requires specific tasks
1 Research
2 Buy low (CanYa Coin) CAN
3 Patience
4 Sell High
5 Make a massive profit $$$$

It is ok for you to be fully involve in trading and crypto currencies as you do not have job now. But for those who are doing a regular job should not leave the job for crypto trading. I have seen many people left their jobs earlier this year only to gain much more profit from trading, but they end up in a loss as the bear market has so long now.

It is good to see that many people are treating cryptocurrency trade as a job. I am also wondering how do you budget your money even the market is at the fall. I have watch videos about this and the vlogger said that don't make trade as you income. It is came from an analyst of stock exchange. If I will treat trade as a job then I must have a budget in 2 years first, before I make it.

People are used to instant gratification nowadays that's why many are being impatient that they cannot immediately have their profit causing to more losses. Many just can't wait for it any longer that's why some would join pump and dump groups but instead of having instant profits, many would incur instant losses.


It's good that you advise him to do that because when people get used to being told what coin to buy, they would not exert any effort in doing in on their own thus the reason why many are joining paid groups so that they would not have any hard time analyzing the trades on their own.

in my opinion, you just need to invest in coins..all right and wait for profit)and then trade on the stock exchanges) and generally trade in your free time from the main work)

It should just be for fun. In the end crypto is basically gambling, and you should only gamble with what youre able to lose. You should never EVER take crypto seriously, too much pressure, and takes the fun off trading.

good to see this topic many newbie like me can understand that there is no easy money in markets only working hard and learning will help in making profits in market

Yes, we must determine what steps we must take. If we want to make Trading as the main job, we must be prepared to face all the risks that might occur. Trading is a definite job, so that when we can have skills and knowledge we will be very likely to achieve good results. So believe me to practice the abilities we have and we must prepare everything in starting to trade. Keep in mind that we can use any capital when we want to trade. It is very important that we have to prepare a reserve money to be able to guarantee our lives in the real world while waiting for the right momentum in trading.

Exactly.You should still have to make more efforts and hardworks just to make your trading be profitable in the end.I believe trading is a step by step process.Take one step at a time and i'm sure you will learn a lot of things at the end of the day.And having more patience as a trader will be more likely to succeed in the end.

This is why before a beginner starts trading, he must have enough learned information. If he aims for a good result, he should have set a goal. In order to reach that goal, he should follow set of steps  and it is also important to have patience and skills in overcoming risks because in the business, risks' always been there.

If you are professional then you will work professionally in trading and trading itself a good job and here in the crypto market only wise people can survived so if you treat trading as your job then you will check it's every aspect and not for some time but ever time you will work for crypto and you will pick the actual price of bitcoin and it is good in these days that if you are jobless then you can make money through trading of different coins and holding coins for long term is beneficial for every one.

many new traders are just joining the market and they are playing with capital asking about more trendy coins, group signal pump & dump, as well as luck capital like gamblers, this is not good for your trading activities. study market trends, especially focus on just a few coins for quite a long time until you understand the coin cycle, spin your analysis and open your ears to receive valid positive news for market trend support

I can decide to buy any coin and hold it for as long as I want as long as I’m very sure that it has the potential to go further. There are good altcoins in the market that one can invest and hold for long-term just like XLM, NEO and Zcash. These coins do have a good potential and investing on them for long-term will be worth it. You can also trade a few hours everyday and make good profit daily, you can make 5% from $100.

more time we hold coins, more chance for us to earn huge profits.mostly  coins developtment need long time.and when it completely developted price will rise alot.

trading is really a job, we cannot treat trading as game because we can only do it in a serious way . Because it really includes money and anytime we can also loss on it depending on how we do it or maybe our luck on doing it on a trading feild. So I think we can also treat trading a job because if we don't do it seriously we can maybe failed on it.

Yes that's right, buy the coins that you believe on their future because if you are just basing on the hype of the people, you will just lose money because of that irresponsible investing/trading. Its good if you make 5% everyday, this only mean that you're a good trader. :D

This will depend on the coin you are holding because not all coins are doing good in the long term, some of the coins are dying because they can't take the competition anymore. Its better for me to hold the established or the top coins in long term than to hold shitcoins which will never make money for me.

I usually don’t use to believe that people can make a living from day trading, but after reading some stories of people who were able to do that, I now believe that it is possible. But I don’t do that, I rather have two jobs than rely only on one. It’s good to have a stable job, since trading is quite unstable. And nothing wrong with making extra income.

Yes that is a good thing and if you trade for it enables one to make quick money but the market right now is not good enough so better change the mind and rather focus on the long term benefits by holding.

Your advice is wrong. For someone who doesn’t have a job I would advise them to go look for a job, cause that’s definitely the best thing he or she can do for themselves. And by the way, if he doesn’t have a job, then where is he going to get money to invest and trade cryptocurrency? He should first get a job and when he starts earning enough, he can then consider crypto trading and study it too. When it starts working for you and he’s sure he can live a life with it, then he can quit his job and focus on it full-time.

that's what most new traders do, they visit so many exchanges for them to be able to trade without prior knowledge and experience, it is indeed not easy for us to be able to trade, of course it all requires a process to be a great trader, price speculation and analyzing an altcoin must indeed be able to be learned, avoid panic and be patient to face the market right now it is indeed very difficult for someone to be able to do it.

There are a lot of people who are making a living through cryptocurrency trading, but one thing you should know is that it never works for everyone. If there are about a hundred people trading, it might only work for ten. So I wouldn’t advise anyone to go full time on crypto trading since it is job that you can easily handle even when you have an office job. There is always time for trading, so don’t go full time on it. Have it as a side job and then have double sources for making income.

Absolutely fine. Not every single coin is good for long term. Bitcoin, on other hand is suitable and efficient coin that will help you to make good earning from long term trading.

As long as you are capable of earning money in the trade, better keep going. It happens at time when your initial cost of investment is low. However if it was not low, better decide what to do by looking at your profit margin.

I buy, sell coins in the bear market. I see no reason to keep the coins in  a long-term in a such market.

That pleases you mate, but not all of us have the same mind like you.
Trading isn't just do selling and buying, holding might apply so when market suddenly fall. Trading might consider as a job either full time or part time job, we put our effort doing these that is why we consider this as a job. 

If that strategy works for you and you still earn from it then theres nothing wrong with what you are doing. It really depends on what kind of trader are you, there are day traders and there are traders who holds their coin for a long time. There's too many factors to consider to decide why buy or sell a coin at a certain time or day. It maybe a not so good day or week for ETH now but what about next month.

Trading can be a profit bar if you have the skills, patience, and experience here. Of course that is achieved by continuing to try, read and learn, right what you say the longer time you will be more intense in the trade, just be patient and let your experience teach you

I have tried trading so many times but I honestly can't stomach it, the lack of patience and stress that I get is too much for me to deal with. I really admire those that can get through it and even end up profiting, hats off to you.

It is good idea and also treat trading as more than your job then only you can get good profit. dedication is very important part in any work, dedications leads to get success in any work and in your life too... keep doing hard and good work.

As for me, it is better to treat trading as a hobby. So far, all of my jobs have given me the stress I don't experience when I am indulged in my hobbies. Well, the two might be closely related. But I do not trade all the time. I am not an expert one at that. At times like these, I completely stay away from trading platforms. I prefer to HODL when the market is bleeding. I want to avoid stress.

trading is not a good job, and of course it is uncertain. I suggest looking for another job, and making trading is just a sideline. well, we can see at this time the effects of trading, of course this will hurt every culprit.

Indeed many people sees it as an easy way to make immediate money without knowing the fundementals of trading they are bound to fail and calls crypto currency a scam after just because it didn't the way they've expected. For me, trading is not a job cause you cannot expect to make profit every often sometimes it may take to long. It's best to have another source of income.

I think you should be serious with trading, instead of treating it as a hobby because that will make you lack of dynamics and positive energy in trading, and lead to bad results with trading, although I know that you have had enough of a stressful day and this can make you more stressful but life always needs pressure to succeed and grow. You should not avoid stress, it just makes you coward and lack confidence when you face the pressure and work in life, but keep in mind that trading is just a second job, it will never be your primary and stable income

Trading in crypto market is never easy and this year has proved it that those who think it is easy or it is free money would have realized it. Yes it can be considered for full time job provided you have risk taking capacity as high volatility in crypto means high money making opportunities but with higher risk as well.

But also keep some other source of income as well to survive from the bear markets like which is happening now.DO trading as profefession not like just job,find new strategies to get more profits and make your own destiny in the crypto market by doing continuous successful trading rates.

Trading seems easy but its the very hard to be accepted as job, trading is not that easy as it looks, I am in to trading for around 8-9 years, I have read lots of tech analysis, money management, controlling emotions but truly speaking I have not succeed yet. I tried to become a full time trader but no success at all,  I am fail to understand how people are doubling/tripping their account. I may be doing something wrong, still learning.
All I want to say is before choosing trading as profession do lots of research, trading demo accounts, if you are able to get consistent profit then only chose trading as your job.

Many guys consider trading their main job as this activity brings them the money they live for. Yes, now when the market is in depressions, traders do not earn much. But I am sure, the better time will come soon.

And that's why it can be very challenging financially not to have a regular job. Imagine the people that rely on trading during this kind of market and they would need to cash out for their expenses? Big losses already and you'll be forced to convert your coins in depressing value.

Trading is not source money to makes us rich even i assume trading is risk job if comparing from other jobs and to be an expert traders it took plenty of process and time so if people want instant money from trading then they have to forget it however my trading journey this year was not so good even my profit also was minus and still can not get to recover back

I cannot make trading as a job, to become a professional trader and make trading as a job is not easy. we need for a long time and it requires skill so now I only make trading as a side job

It is good to treat trading as a day job and close the positions of daily bases and book profit in that way a crypto investor will be in safe side in all market conditions .  Market is volatile  but daily trade profits is good for safe investor

Only few can make for their living and job as professional traders. This is not an easy job and takes many risks and uncertainty.
But I support the idea to approach to the trading seriously as it was your job. Too many still think that trading is some kind of game that will easily enable you to make big profit in short period of time. But it's not working that easy and if you want to be successful trader you have to invest a lot of your time, skills and knowledge, not only your money.

You know when it comes to Crypto most individuals wants make  the money ASAP. By the way that's not the way it should be there are many ways to make it in this Cryptocurrency atmosphere but when one keeps it slow and steady you win the race.

In order for us to trade is that you have to be well prepared mentally and to have a quick reaction to the movement of the market. The idea of trading is that you will have to invest not just a small amount of course because basically, the mining fees will just eat all of your small investments if you do try to trade in bigger exchanges.

Trading is not just exchanging cryptocurrencies, you need enough skills, strategies, knowledge and also experience for you to make profit ib trading. You should also know that there are risks that you are going to face.

Traders should always keep in their mind that they will lose their investment if they have not enough skills. I always treat trading as a serious task because any wrong move,  I will lose my money.

Before this is my job only. For sure most of us have a lot of jobs here in reality.  And some of them are don't have so for sure they will treat trading as their job because they don't have any choice because they are unemployed but better to have job and do trading as combination.

I agree with your thoughts. I have a permanent job in reality but at the same time, I also did trading only after my work is done. It is very important to have a stable job I think and combined it into trading inorder to have assuranced in sustaining our needs in daily life.

before I became familiar with crypto currency including bitcoin I already had a job in the real world with offline work, therefore I didn't make bitcoin or crypto currency a job.

It is very hard to just entrust your financial needs and expenses in trading cryptos especially at this state. Selling in times of need when the price is low is also like buying at peak prices therefore loosing profit. For me, having a stable job while trading cryptos is a smart move to make sure that you would have a source of income, maybe not just for yourself but also your family.

At all times, we have to think practically because needs are increasing while we are getting older. Money will be spent to survive living everyday so better move yourself and push yourself to also live in reality.

That's right money is the main reason why we're going to survive for the daily routine which made the trading as our job. However if we pursue that mindset for this activity to be more serious, I guess it's a tough decisions to make during trading on the holdings we had. Everybody has their personal holdings right now which made them decide crucially rather than giving up from it.

making trading into a job will certainly be a very difficult thing, moreover crypto prices are never stable. well, maybe this doesn't really matter to those who have a lot of money, however, for those who live with trading, I think that is quite difficult. I suggest looking for something else, and making this a sideline.

If you're full trader the answer is " YES " but most of us use trading is part time, so all depend the player purposes. I believe take trading as serious activity is more important because not many people success with trading/ investment. Keep learning, practice and also have alternative income, don't forget about it.

Like you, I also work 5 days a week with 2 weekends, I take trading as my second job as soon as it brings me additional money. I spend much time and efforts when I trade, this it is the 2nd work.

Haha yes you are right, because i can't analyze the candle chart properly so I only trade using both these ways. Although this method is more risky but for me this is quite effective. But sometimes I also trade using arbitration techniques because this does not require any ability, you only need to move coins from market A to market B.

I may not consider this as a job due to inconsistency of the profit unlike we received the exact amount from our day job. Most especially when the market turns like the present situation, seemingly it is very hard to make gains and the risk it getting higher.

This is good advice for those who do not have other sources of business and are only relying on crypto. If you do not keep other ways of income flow, you would have to rely on loans and a day will come when you will not get any.

I do both, yes I do depending on market conditions, but so far holding back for me really requires extra strength and market conditions are also very difficult to predict so maybe waiting for the right time will be better.

Don't just treat it as your job, treat the money that you are investing as real money that when you make a wrong decision, money will go down the drain. I remember my first few trades in Poloniex a few years back. I don't care how much BTC I lost in trading for selling even at below buying price. After a few months of trading I realized that if those fees and small losses from below buying price is gathered and accumulated, its a big amount of money.

Yes before you can benefit from anything, you first need to make it your job and be serious with it, cause if you’re not serious with it, there is no way you should be expecting any profit to be coming from it. Profit can only come when you take the job serious and dedicate more time and effort in being perfect in the trade. With time you get better and start making profit like those who are pro in it.

If we will not be serious when we are trading then there is a possibility that we can lose our investment. I only make investment in trading when I fully understand what it is and how I can trade effectively.

That's right, we should never advice any coins to our colleagues to avoid confucions from their investments and to avoid misguidance. I can say is, let's do our own research and have passion in our doings especially in this trend in cryptocurrencies.

Yes l treat trading as my job because l only survive in here.This is the only way now to have profit to survive the needs of my family.This is job because l used to get a payment.

there are some analysis points that I haven't mastered, and I'm sure many people don't want to learn more and prefer to subscribe to premium signals and don't try wisely in personal analysis. But I kept trying because I could no longer consider trade as a side business, the capital spent on trading could be a reference to being really serious.

I agree that to do trading we need enrich ourselves with knowledge of trading. it is useful when you want to run your coins, so that we can get lots of profits as we  expected. To get them all, of course enjoying the process is an important point. From the process we experience, we'll learn how to be patient, how to survive.

yes, right what you say. trade requires a lot of research, and trade can be called work. I myself do trading activities by trading daily. when I think the price is above, I will sell it. basically I have to take advantage of market conditions every day to make a profit. and I don't just make purchases that I will only save for a long time. because in my opinion doing daily trading is better than just surviving for a very long time.

That’s the normal thing. If you want to benefit from anything you’re doing you’ve got to treat it as a job and be serious with it. Anyone that plays with whatever they use as a source of income  probably would be wasting their time. Work hard and develop your trading skills and know everything you’re meant to know about crypto  that’s when you will really start to benefit from it.

When you love your job you put your passion on it, even if how risky it is but as long as you love what you are doing, you always have a chance.
Trading might be one of the riskiest type of job in the world but if we will be successful, we can retire early and enjoy our life.

Trade and money always require a serious and attentive approach, money demanding prudent treatment and trade consistency and discipline

For me you should trading for fun, a passion that will let you enjoy every momemnt. As you need no emotions into it but you need discipline that it's very easy to get when you're passionate about a certain thing.

There are many traders who keep losing their investment because they do not take trading seriously. They just trade because their friends told them, we should have passion when we are trading for us to increase our investment. 

Do not see the trading as a hobby or stress reliever, it is true that we should take it seriously and we should see it as a job. Always remember that our money is on line, we can lose it if we will not take it seriously. 

yes, we must be able to treat our trade as a job, indeed doing crypto trading is not as easy as the people who say it, many new traders do suffer losses, because maybe they are only obsessed with being able to immediately get big profits, and those who have no experience and knowledge in trading , which in the end in the decline in prices they panic and sell the coins they have at a low price level, so for example we want to make our trade a job, we have to really be able to do our trade very seriously.

Mental as well as emotions really influence when we trade to be able to control it. because this is also our profit factor besides analyzing a market

That’s true that it is not good to start trading only because your friends told you to trade. You should  never go for trading blindly as it can make you suffer lose. So trading is not children's play don't take it easy just learn more and more and then start trading with small amount gradually go for higher to reach the level of a professional trader.

We all know such stories about traders who walking around us everyday. Trading should be treated as business like how we treat other industries. Financial knowledge will help to this guys for being successful but they mainly refuse to increase their ability after few winnings.

Believe it or not, for me when it comes to income, there is work. That's the way of life. I am here and would like to learn or ask for a chance to trade a successful one, I am well-regarded as trading of a job ofcourse because our lives have changed the fate of a lot. so if you want to know how to trade in a deeper way then I want to know how to earn more profits and how to buy a cheap price and get sell a high rate of its value.

  I think buying low and selling high will make me feel more comfortable. because our market is always fluctuating. If we buy at the right time and sell at the right time, we will soon become rich. holding will be difficult for us when the market remains volatile and the real value of altcoins is unknown. so long-term holding will be quite risky.

there are many who make trading as a main job but many also make it a side job. in fact it all depends on each person. is it really going to make it the main job or not

- Although saying that the job is the main or not depends on each person but if we consider and calculate carefully, I feel that we should not think of it as a main job, it will be a better thing, even if we have enough experience and skills, it is still not advisable because the risk from this field is unpredictable, everything changes very abnormally. Income will be unstable and cause us to fall into financial troubles, so it is more reasonable to consider it as a part-time job but surely, we will always need seriousness with this work, not thinking it is a game as many people think

Quite a few whom I know are now engaged in the full time trading as in previous years they had being thinking about making it as a full time job and finally are into this which makes their life more better as they do not have to work under anyone. Also you can make ample amount of money if you get it right and earn daily.

if they have good skills and could generate profit from market consistantly no matter for them.they could earn money from this without any regular job.but if we didnt , better to work in regular job too.

How are you able to manage both job and trading? Please share some insights of how you handle the stress.

To be honest in myself in my own opinion and experience it is too hard to trade due to many other things that you have to know and the most hardest part is to apply it once you get caught or started first with youur emotions you will be out of your focus in trading because all you want to think is either you don't wanna loss your btc or altcoin amount so to sell it in loss early or keep pursuing and thinking that it will up more so you will not going to sell. To your title it applies in the greed or something that you need in a hurry if you think it was a job that you need to earn monthly or weekly to pay your bills to eat and so on it is not good, Trading is a fashion and like a business which you need to be patient and wait for the less risk higher reward or the right entry to trade.

Trading indeed isn't something that will be easier to manage. Even for those who already has a long experiences, it won't give a guarantee for sure profit. Emotions will mostly take a big role among the other stuffs required during our trading actions.

Actually Trading for me like I just learned to trade in crypto a few years ago, just like real trading, crypto trading is also very fun

Cryptocurrency trading is also like a job if you don't concentrate in that then you cannot get the right profit with your work so treating all thing that gives you money then it will be definitely considered as a job

This is a job that you might loss money, we get used to a job that we work and then we earn, here it's different because we have to risk our own money in order to make money, and there is no guarantee that we can make money.

That's how it worked, so we should be fully aware of that before thinking of trading, this is not easy as we think.

yes, I am very interested in your writing. indeed trading is something that must be considered a job. and in a job, we must always learn about how we can get good income. To be a good trader, we are required to always learn about analysis and market movements at all times. Whatever strategy you do in trading, better than your own experience, don't always rely on other people to make a decision.

Any job needs it, man. I am sure that the best traders are very reliable and disciplined people. Yes, of course, this activity is a great job, but not many people can do it in reality.

I considered trading as a full time job for mind because it will gives me a lot of profits and money don't like any other business trading is unique especially Bitcoin trading will always gives you profit in lots of time so keeping trading as your job is very useful in now and your future that's why I am saying this.

Tbe process isnt that way. It was just like working without going to school to have a diploma. If you want to be an expert trader and want to earn big you should learn from the very beginning. Dont rush things and learn everything about it. If you do this, you can explore many varieties on trading and also have differet strategies.

All things needs time and serious effort specially when we do talk about investment and come to think that all things doesn't take it seriously wont really be that much effective compared
to those who are passionate or really serious.
I'm a trader and I do really make it as a serious job since we know that we are making profits on here just like on having a traditional day job.

You were right. If your friend wants to learn how to trade and what altcoins should he/ she wants to invest in. Then just advice him/her to just learn the basics in trading. We can consider it as a job like being serious when it comes to researching some techniques. Spending time to read some guides to become an effective trader is also a must of your friend really wants his/her trade to become successful.

Indeed professional trader spend their whole time with trading, they are doing it like as job. Because trading need time and if we choice trade for our source of income then it is mustily for us to spend whole time and do it considerately then definitely we could earn reasonable profit from trading.

actually adequate exchanges can provide you with education on how to trade using them. that's the first thing, so one should try exchange functions, understand how it works.

when we speak about research, what do you mean? what research do you take while trading major coins? except reading news websites.
