Hello everyone,
I'm new to the crypto world and have been trading for 2 weeks. I have a job in Marketing and trading is a way for me to earn extra money. I often focus on trading after work because I am quite busy at my office.
I'm very curious about how's your day going? anyone here is a full-time trader? When do you start trading? Do you look at the screen and read all the time? And if it's not too private, can you estimate how many percentages of profit you earn a day? ...

Well most of my trading are done automatically. I make use of stop loss and take profit and I'm a day to day trader. So far I haven't suffered any major losses due to my strategy. And I have been trading close to 3years

I think you are an experienced trader. How is your day going? wake up in the morning, trade and going out until mid-night to earn benefit from crypto?

I am full time crypto earner but not trader really. All my trades are really long term one so I dont have to stick to the screen all the time I have never sit in front of the PC looking after the trading patterns for hours. May be a professional trader might do that but for me its simple trick of buying and selling. I just hit the market, look for some great coins (which can be scam eventually) you never know! But with the risk being considered we can approach ahead and buy them at relatively lesser prices as compared to its initial price. The next step is to Hodl such coin and wait for the market to show up some higher prices for the same. Thats all, this is how it works for me as trader.

Well I used to trade a lot like 2 months ago and I stopped because if you are looking to be a trader then your eye should never leave the price of the coins amd the market

I think that daytrading is very stressful, and you will look at the screen many times a day.

A longer run like a swing trade will be much less stressful, but less lucrative.

I am currently a trader without any day job so it is kinda boring for me since I don't need to watch the charts all day. But sometimes I go out and play sports.

Day trading is stressful. As far as I know, a lot of traders analyse the market overnight decide on positions to take and wait for confirmations based on their analyses before making moves. I do little of trading, but it's mostly copy trading. I take positions and set appropriate stoploss and take profits areas. I check in on the trades when I have the urge to do so and when my mentor asks me to do so.

I started trading when I saw the market started good and bought coins at low prices, any coins that have the potential to trade. other than that maybe the daily profit that can be obtained only 5-10% can be used as the best profit opinion when we see the market conditions are very unstable, hopefully it can provide knowledge for you.

I used to do it but it took a toll on my health so I stopped. My day basically revolved around price alerts and I had my computer on 24/7. I had no real work and sleep times, sometimes I slept during the day and sometimes at night. When I got tired and I felt like the market is calm enough I had time to go to bed or do chores, but each time an alert let me know that there's a bigger move I had to run back to the computer and check it out. I slept light and the only time when I was able to take a break was when I gave myself a day off, went all fiat and forgot about trading. I got so tired that in 2016 when BTC was at its lows I took a whole year off and never went back to active trading.

I started trading a couple of month ago, just to learn something and hopefully earn something. My percentage is really low, 0.5 to 1 percent wins on the good days and as much losses on the bad days. Overall, not winning much and not losing much. I can't help you with professional tips as to how the day of a crypto trader goes, but I can tell you one thing: most of the time I feel stressed and not really great. I don't know how the professional traders deal with stress, anxiety, and anticipation, but it must take a toll on them too.

As what you have said you are new in the crypto world, then you need to have a lot of research before engaging into that trading business.
Day trading is so stressful you need to look at the price movement in the market cap every now and then, and basically, you have a good analysis which better coin you must to picked and pump up at that day, so risky if you know. If I were you right now, much better to have a good research or better idea hire a personal coach on how to works in trading.

Have you participate in trading before or not.If you don't practice trading,you can start trading with the initial amount of 10$. Trading is easy to learn only by practice.You can't learn trading by the mean of any education. Day trading is the trading where the trader will buy and sell the bitcoin within a short period of time with less profit.

The way I perform and see it, a typical day should be all about checking on the market and devising strategies as to when is the best time to exit or enter. This is a job that requires a lot of time

I am not a day trader that really active everytime, but i have friend that do that. His time only for trading,look for market, and less sleep and take a rest. Because market especially crypto market have high volume in midnight of my country. Day trader life is stressful if you want to wonder.

 ;D You should be in good money and your explanation of using your strategy is the way to make profit with stop loss. I what you wrote but don't have merit to give.


Doing that will lead you to taking wrong decision. The best thing to do is see your nice entry point, execute your trade with stop loss and take profit, close your system and get to do other things.

I have not tried it in crypto, but I think it can be done by analyzing the market to place a position and check it later in the afternoon or wait 24 hours, and decide to stay or go out (through analysis also). You can save time and not be in the computer for long hours.

Its very stressful actually. When I am starting to learn trading, I am almost doing it 24/7. But slowly I am used to market movements that now I just check it on my mobile from time to time. Also, when the market start to become bearish, I just leave my crypto assets on hold.. until now for several months already.

To make profit from crypto trading, we not need to spend full times because we can do swing trading by spend 1 hours a day,  but we should be have better risk management by use stop loss and trailing stop.  When bull market  swing trading will be more profitable than day trading.

If you do this as your extra income, well that a good start according to your situation dude.
To learn trading is not that really easy to understand, the basic things we need to find out is what to do to become a crypto trader?
Then, How to become a good trader? and last but not the least What are those things that we need to consider if you are in the actual trading
platform? With these question you need to know there answer first before anything else.

Trading activity should be become second job and apart times because in trading we can not guarantee to earn profit. I working on office about 8 hours but i can do trading 2 to 3 hours aday. Trading is good way to earn extra money although the risk is high but by use management of risk and money possible to reach profit about 20% monthly.

Yes, not necessarily we spend whole day for trading but 1hr isn't enough by then. It should be better to check every now and then in order to track on your trades as our market fluctuates everytime.
I've never think traders have a good earning for now since bitcoin price seems to be stuck and altcoins isn't moving.

trading if you do an analysis in a long daily period will make it stressful. this can be done by choosing the best time to be used as a trading option and this can avoid stress for traders.

How much time you spend on trading depends also if you are professional trader or not.
But in any case if you want to be successful and make profit you have to spend considerable time on the exchanges. Also you have to constantly watch all trends and changes on the market so that you can make right decision in a right time.
But day trading is not for beginers, too risky and too stressful with big chances to acumulate loss.

I think that daytrading is very stressful.I don't know how the professional traders deal with stress, anxiety.bitcoin within a short period of time with less gain.

Controlling emotions is really needed and the average professional trader is able to control it to get the right moment. they already have a lot of experience

The trading for me is not good also lately my coin in always drops like syscoin and litecoin this altcoins is lossing me enough and I will switch to other coin to earn.

The answer is easy. They usually get burned out pretty fast or need to take breaks from trading. Not many people can do it professionally in the way that it's their only source of income and if they are doing it, it's when they have a lot of money lying on the side. Most traders that I know do it on the side and have other jobs like running courses and speaking at conferences or having a youtube channel.

Day trading is really boring and stressful. When I was doing day trading I would be busy with my pc all day long that was really pathetic. You are very young in this sector so learn and watch senior guys how they work. At the same time try to research the market to have a better idea.

Indeed as a trader you have to have a lot of time, it is very difficult for those who have other jobs. In my opinion, because it takes time to see each market movement and the problem of profit depends on each deposit and market movements

maybe they don't need big profits because they have regular targets every day, so maybe 1-2% is enough, as long as it's consistent every day.
I have a friend who trades daily. He says you should not be greedy even if your condition allows him to take a lot of profit, you must remain consistent, he said.

I agree with your friends point of trading. If you trade daily with 1 to 5% of profit then on long term you will see your ROI is very good and you are in good profit. Slowly if you earn it will be a big profit in future. This is the trading secret for success. Because their are daily chances of earning and you should not be greedy that you want to become rich in a day and in the end you will see that you are in loss.

Thank you all for your useful advices. As I imagine like you have mentioned, a day of a full-time trader is very stressful. They can have much free time but the traders need to lose many things such as health, relationships ...  I think they wake up at 9am, have breakfast, surve the crypto news to see anything which can effect the price, read the chart, analytic all the time and try to find a good deal for the day.

I am not a trader now and I only spend over 4 hours a day exploring and working in the Crypto market. Currently I only invest long term in EOS and do not care about day trading. But I know that day trading is really pressure on us. You should keep your head cold or give up your work to focus completely on the transaction. It will be much more effective.

Choose higher timeframes to trade. Daytrading is very stressfull, and it is very hard to get consistent profits.

Due to the market's situation wherein it is very unpredictable. You see, we cannot consider that as a full time job. But if you are well experienced and has a full confidence that you had enough techniques and wisdom to do a trading, then you may.

Before, my day in trading is not that good. I lose so much. I do entering orders without thinking, greedy that I regret back then. Not all trading is going smooth.

Just like every other job. You wake up checking the prices and try to do your job as best as you can and hope that your best is enough to help you bring food to your table. If it is not that well than it won't be bringing any food and maybe even take some food away.

There are days when you are making profits like hell and you are incredibly happy about it and if you are smart you try to reinvest it back into crypto and try to make more and if you are not that wise with your money you either lose your profits from bad trades or you just assume your initial capital was enough to make this money so you go off spending the excess amount you just made as profit.

Most days consist of checking prices constantly and seeing what is the range of a coin daily even while knowing it could change any second and do something crazy. It has amazing ups and awful downs to it.

Well, as much as it could be stressful for some, some actually like the feel of making steady money at least almost every day as long as there is a room for some good market to trade for that day.

However, it is something that I have always noticed that most of the time, day trading is actually something that can be a whole lot crazy knowing how well you have to monitor the market most of the time, but it is not necessarily like you having to do it for the whole day as you even need to be in the right set of mind for the next day when it comes to day trading.

It is just because a lot of people are just too greedy to want to get everything from the market most of the time, that is the reason why they always tend to prefer stressing themselves working round the clock trying to make multiple trades in a day. It does not have to be stressful unless you want to make it stressful.

I'm going to school all day. And my only free time is a few hours in the evening. I look at the phone screen seems every time possible. I usually order in the evening. Since I am quite busy with school, I do not have much time to trade. My profit is not stable and just enough to live. :-X

I did it for a couple of months trust me trading is not for me. It brought me a lot of trouble I lost a huge amount of money except this got physical problem while trading I used to seat before my pc all day long I was bored and quit it. But honestly, there are a number of people still trading without suffering any problem and making profits.

A life of a crypto trader is too challenging. Our profit dependa on the flow of the market and if trading is our full time job, this kind of situation would be a shakey situation for us since the market is down. It would take a lot of patience and hope for us to get what we want here.

Firstly, the amount of the percentage a day trader will earn per day cannot be estimated because the market price are not stable and the level of demanding in the market will determine the profit of traders and if you're a busy type you could make use of bot trading which will also guarantee you of everyday profit.

I'm trader but not giving much time of it, because to be safe all of my coins and don't want to take risk, So Bullish is the main good things to be apply if you are one of the investors in trading market. Though, I'm a full time bounty hunter were I do trade only when the ico project is done giving the token distribution of the rewards to all their participants who joined in the campaign.

For me it is very difficult to follow anything more than btc and eth. I do as you, checking out others analysis to do day trading and focus on my own for longer time frames. This group has been really nice to follow for some small tf trades with this group trding signals https://discord.gg/TbYwFNp Shorting the shitcoins against BTC

Become full times trader will not guarantee  to earn profit,  we can still make profit by doing part times trading,  this is according to risk management and trading strategy.  Trading is good way to earn money and we not need to spend all day for that. 

I am a trader but not a full-time trader because I have other things to do and so far, trading can help me to earn extra money. I start trading in the morning and night and not take too long. I always look at the screen and analyze the coins before I buy because this is what we do as a trader. I think my percentage of profit is on monthly because I don't trade at daily or weekly and it's a good percentage for me. I see that you are trying to focus in trading after work and yes, you have your time to earn more money from trading. My suggestion is you don't have to leave your job, and I am sure that you can do both jobs in marketing and trading so you will earn more money.

For most day traders, they are actually spending some few parts of the day trying to study the charts and seeing a good chance to make some quick bucks within the day and make some profit which once they hit their target, they either get done and go do other things.

However, it is not as easy as that, considering the fact that day trading is something that you really always need to look for the right set up to trade based on your strategy, and it can be a whole lot hectic knowing that sometimes you just have to make the pretty quick decisions most of the time within a very short time frame, but it is usually what it is anyway.

I personally don't trade full time. for me it can affect focus. and confuse concentration. I trade when I just want it. sometimes 1 week I can trade full, sometimes only 2 or 3 days. because the market is not good. for profit presentation targets, I make 20-30% profit every time I trade.

I am a part-time trader. I am just like you, have a real job. My work starts from morning and ends in the afternoon. and at night I started trading. there is no target for what percentage of my trade. as long as it produces good and sufficient profits. I will stop and take a break to start tomorrow.

being a trader in my opinion does not have to spend 24 hours because it is better for us to trade when the market volume starts to crowded and conditions like this are of course only at certain hours and do not need to spend time trading. therefore we need to pay attention to that time so that we can trade more effectively.

The day of the crypto trader is very simple and casual because it is a business and when you relax you can do better decisions for business, So for trader the market knowledge and survey is important for the potential of the coins in the near future and trader is one who have expert of the field so they work hard for profits.

If you are a trader and you earn a big amount from trading then I don't think they would just openly share it. Most likely, they wouldn't be here in the forum and if they are then they are most likely just reading some updates and wouldn't openly answer your question because they are also concern as well that they may be hack if someone would be able to trace their transactions and know them. I am not a day trader but I do trade from time to time but not a big amount.

When it comes to trading, I am still a beginner and still in the process of being able to handle my emotions. I think a gain of 1% a day is not that hard to achieve. There is a possibility that you will be able to earn higher but always remember not to be greedy.

I only see trading when there is a good increase signal, I can't be fully in front of the screen to monitor prices. I am a daily trader but I also sometimes do not always stay to monitor prices. so I only monitored the price on the monitor for some time.

In trading you actually need times, skills and capital and it is very difficult for an experience trader to tell you how much he makes and how he or she do make money from the market.  When I was a forex trader, I could still remember that I did not have a job then and so I was then a full-time trader and I discovered one thing that sitting down from morning to evening looking for trading opportunities is not the right ways to trade but develop your skills and understanding on how to trade professionally is the right thing to do.

It is not an everyday Christmas. Mostly it is loss that happens because of this unpredictable prices. You may have to think again of going full time. (Yeah I know you are having that thought)

It is boring to just monitoring every prices of crypto that you hold. Stay at day job and just do part time trading. It works like a charm.

Mostly I prefer long-term trading, so I don’t spend all my time in front of PC. I have a full-time job and crypto is my passion. I monitor charts once a week and choose the period when cryptocurrency’s price is low enough to buy, and wait for its growth to sell. It requires patience and time to receive profit, however, it’s justified by the returns. Sometimes, I do day trading because it can be beneficial even during the bear market. I use crypto exchange CEX, which is a great platform for both buying crypto and trading. Plus exchange provides margin trading (https://cex.io/margin-trading) that is not every platform supports. The exchange allows trading fiat to crypto and vice versa, or crypto to crypto.

I think you have already guessed it after seeing the whole market bloody. Not good at all for crypto traders. Yes, this is a very simple word to say but hard to carry on trader's shoulder.

I'm not full time traders and i only trade if i have time to do so but i don't have the particular percentages to estimate my earning because every months my profit was never same moreover currently we are facing bloody market and very difficult to get profit from that even i assume if people not suffers to loss from those conditions then they are is lucky enough

From last week i stoped my trading related activities because recent market condition is not favor with me.The worst week has been past last week for me,i have lost 4 eth in trade thats why i am observing and waiting for suitable condition.

Just like yourself, that I am an office worker. Usually I trade in the blank time that I have. the time after work at night is usually my favorite choice, it is because I will get calm and usually the more night it will be better in exercising self control. Besides that, I also always pay attention to crypto movements at any time. I use breaks in my office to read developments about the coins that I have. I did it because I chose to be a day trader and I enjoyed it all as a fun job. Trading is a fantastic job. and by Trading, we can have the opportunity to become rich people !!

When market is volatile it is the best time for the trader as earning opportunity is way much then any other day and during stable time not much can be made for the day trader unless ready to hold the coins in anticipation of the future growth. At present trading with falling market is little skeptical.

Trade is not as easy as we thought it to be sometime. Few years back to be precise year 2017, i started trade with crypto and i find it very difficult to place trade without lose but some few weeks after my pattern of trade placement change, i start to earn profits from trade. Before you place a trade ensure that the market is calm and take a smart move to make huge profit.

I think this day is one of the worse for all trader and investors simply because of the down price and bad condition of market. I am not a full trader but I know what they feel especially in the current situation of market.

When crypto market dumped hard just like now, we can do day trading if we have more times to trade but also will promising huge profit if we doing swing trading. For swing trading is more easy, just buy strong fundamental coin and hold it for afew month untill the price back to the top. We can see in 2017, alot of swing trader has been earn multiple times profit because they bought coin in cheap.

Just do it according to your strategy, you don't need to do things altogether if they one of them will generate great results.
This is what trading is for, we are focus on the profit and maximize it, so whatever is your technique as long as it will work, just stick with it.

When we become a full trader, it is not certain that our gain will be large. The most important thing is that we can make the right decisions and also get the best out of momentum. Personally, I still advise you to be able to continue working, when you get a decent income in the real world then you can become a world of trading as an income. Remember that when you can focus on both, you can earn extraordinary income.

I tried to trade full time when I was new in trading. I treated it like my job that I open my computer at 8 in the morning and close at 5 in the afternoon. I only get a portion of the profits that I gain and the rest will be combined with my funds. Problem is when the bear season started, I can't even pick a single coin to buy. All prices of coin are dropping like fly. From 3 - 4 days of zero trade until it lasted for a week and even more. Until I decided not to go full time on trading and just browse from time to time and when I see an opportunity, that's the time I Buy, Hodl and Sell.

I also work at office 7 hours aday but i can spend a few hours for trading, i did swing trading and according my experienced to learn about risk management will be the most important thing. Use stop loss is should be after bought any crypto because we can cut the loss from wrong trade and we can buy again in lower price.

It is really hard to become a day trader because of the volatility of the cryptocurrencies. I am a day trader and I spend most of my time to monitor and analyze the movement of the coin that I currently trading. It is also hard to know when I will buy and sell cryptocurrencies.

Not a full time trader here. It is hard to just rely with unsure income. Considering trading as a full time job will just make you go to waste. But i am a day trader. Just like you, i often focus with trading at night after my working hours.

I work while trading, for me with trade I take lessons in management and also world information about cryptocurrency. I look at the market and information when I am bored or have enough free time to do that, from here I am not a full-time trader so for what percentage of profits I earn I don't really count, because as long as I have made a profit it is enough for me.

Not really, there's skills traders who able to survive with day trading and still working out for their favors, if you can assess and predict the market trend basing with many factors that can influence the movements even the bearish season can bring you good profits, you just need to work and study to continuously adopts any market trends and anticipate your next positions.

I think the method that you apply in your life is a smart choice because indeed to be able to be successful and become a wealthy person you must be able to learn and the experience you have will be the most important lesson to be able to become rich from the world of trading.

I am a trader and investors and it is truth that working and trading is not an easy task and one has to be great in mind in other to be able to analyze the market in profitable ways.  I think I spend around 3 hour daily on trading though I do monitor the market through some applications through out the day and even in the office if I see any opportunity I always invest along.  I have started arbitrage of recent and I think it is more easier and less risky for those that has no mush time to analyze the candlestick formations and chart pattern.  I can't really say this is how much I made in a month though I do make some profits.

Keep the money coming into you is really good and we never know how long it will take to make profits so just keep the profits small and don't care about the market going bearish,just hold it at that time.

Trading is one of the riskiest job in crypto i mean after all the hype you can just buy a coin that goes literally downward and then nothing more than just watch back on your losses It just require news updates and some serious analysis

I do a lot on a daily basis automatically. I use stop loss and take profit for my own transactions. In this way I can make my transactions easily and during the day, I'm not capturing myself in the computer. In other transactions, I do bot trading with a low capital. I don't, but the bot services I buy are working for me, and these bots are definitely using stop loss and take profit. In this way, I find the opportunity to generate income with lower risk.

Yes, but we can prepare ourselves to follow every lesson we can find on the internet so we can minimize the risk and we could also make a profit. Besides that, we always need to check and analyze every coin in the market so we know how good the movements and we can decide to enter or wait for a while.
But to be a day trader will not be easy as we need more than learn, we need to have practice every day, and we could get losses many times. But don't give up if you believe that you can handle your emotion and keep trying to practice because in someday, you will be able to make a big profit.

Making 10% monthly in a flat market should be considered a very good result

Obviously, your profits in a rising market (or falling, for that matter, if you are into shorts) will depend on how steep is the rise (fall). Other than that, you don't have to be glued to the charts and your monitor all day long but you should definitely be around when the price starts moving big time. That means you may not make a trade a few days in a row (this is where you should keep patience at all costs and times), but in such cases it is always the calm before the storm. And when the storm finally comes, you should be ready to strike while the iron is hot

Right. And make use of the trading features if you don't have that much time to spend observing the marker. Buy and sell orders and stop loss are very essential especially since a change of movement in the market happens suddenly. There are also some mobile apps you cab use as alarms and notifications about certain coins' prices.

the market is perfect for people to buy more and profit , especially for long run people!
Cheers!

Crypto trading can indeed be very stressful for beginners, but as day goes by and time after time, you will realize that it is not as difficult as it looks, the most important thing is to make sure one trades using analysis and nut just gut feelings, because using gut feelings and emotion to trade can really be stressful and discouraging when your inner instinct fails you on when to enter the market and also get out of the market.

And for those that literately find it difficult because of how tight their job can be, all they can do is just to employ the service of a bot that will do so on their behalf to ease them of those stress and save them time.

At some point I agreed. But if you know how to set stop loss, you can still stay away from your monitor without further panicking what will gonna happen with your entry. Setting stop loss as a day trader is very significant especially when you are hesitant about your TA. It will prevent some loss and still gain profits.

I estimated my earmings weekly not daily is around $100-$300 per week for this month and Im looking more to the profit for the next coming weeks. Because Im busy to school when I have break time I will check the price so if the coin increase I sell it and every weekends I check everyhour the chart of the coin.

I tried to become a day trader. I read all the charts for almost 10 hours with break of minutes only. Its very stressful for me and I can't take too much stress so I decided to be a normal trader where I don't do chart reading that much.

There are some traders out there whose trades are done automatically so this reduces stress to them and at the same time, gaining profit. There are some who do trades minute by minute. There are some who do trading day by day only with few trades. I gained already in trading but not that much because I lost my first capital in trading.

Earning on a weekly basis is hard in trading, you just need consistency to do that and I think you can make big earning if you focus more.
Being a student a trader at the same time is a hard task, yet the result is so good for you, you must be really good.

I was a day trader and when the market showed signs of going down, I bought some Altcoins with cheap prices and waited for the market to rise again. And then I had a little daily profit. So I also often care to watch the screen anytime, anywhere.

That is very nice if you are earning around that figure's weekly. When I started in crypto trading, I just earn a measly dust amounts of bitcoin but then the peak of 2017 was a dream for traders. But as soon as the bear market started, I just stopped around May-June 2018 because it's no longer profitable at my end. I'm slowly going back so I might spend countless hours again if time permits.

Its quite a busy life to be honest,even myself acted as a trader for few hours but it is not an easy,its just confusing my mind about what need to do at the next move when our prediction goes wrong then we will lose our previously eared profits as well.

For the consistency of earnings, of course we cannot be sure of that, because sometimes the price increase of a coin does not occur within just one day. sometimes you have to wait 2 days or more. The important thing at least in day trading you can get a big profit at the end when you sell it

the life of cryptocurrency trader is moth different from the normal people because the working style and they are sleeping time and also there rest time will be different and it will not be stable for each and every day that is the main difference the time sharing between the normal people and their currency traders.

If you have something else to do, you better invest crypto for long term.
It still can give you profit more than 400% just I got over 4 years and still counting.

If you focus on short term trading, you must resign with your current work !

Nah, that can’t be true, he must rely to participate in trading, that is why it is called short term trading and not full term trading, I believe a short term trader would not be expecting to make as much as what a full term trader is making.

We have some jobs that can still give one chance to having access to the trading platform, and like he said, I think he has all the evening to himself after work, so there is so much he can’t still, if he is serious before bed time, even if it is to place order and set his stop loss, it is better than not even doing any at all. 

Long term holding is also a very good deal, but man needs more money on a daily basis to meet up with our daily needs and it is only short term trading that can guarantee that.

Short term trader can make as much as long term trader make. Long term trader usually buy and hold, when the price is up they sell and this just 1 trade. Let say in 1 trade long term can make 200% profit, the short term trader, on the other hand, can also make 200% profit too in the same time but in 1 trade. So it all depends on which style that suits you the most.

Why pick one when we can go fully for the 2 to make 400% profit, call me a greedy one but money is never enough and one should not stop making it until we are fully satisfied. For those who know how to trade, the wisest choice will be for them to practice both, the long-term investment to settle their future, while the short term investment will be for making money to cater for the present need and also have more investment money.

That Is just my opinion though for the strong ones, but to be on a less risky side, it would also not be a bad thing to go for one at a time.

I think that day-trading is very stressful, as cryptocurrency is very volatile and the price fluctuates too often, so you have to look at the screen all the time.

I am into trading like you. I regularly go to my office everyday, work for 9 hours and come back home. I trade on my mobile device. Rarely I use my laptop when i am on leave. I do check the growth trend of coins every 10 minutes even during my work hours. Every day is an experience. Really need to study and learn more practically. Trading is the best platform to earn more.

Day trading is get in into trading and also get out of trade with little profits or loses and it is done continuous.  It is not easy to remain in profits as a day trader but you can succeed in it if you have developed a good strategy on how it works.

That is great. I have the same mindset. I love to research and make blog posts for my own understanding and I have so far understood that all the people who made millions in crypto have been the guys who invested and HODL for long. It is not that you would need to HODL for a decade but for few years in order to gain considerable wealth in crypto.

Welcome. If you will be a good trader you need you need to be informative and good knowledge about market situation and fundamental analysis ans well as technical analysis. So before start trading you need to know about those.
Thank You.         

So you need knowledge, you need informations, you need to do some analyses , you need bankroll, what you do from all that when you get up in the morning? I check prices every morning, to see new changes, I look all coins, I`m interested in general stuff, but I notice are some of mine are up or down. While I still drink coffee I check twitter, its a good place to start, many people share a lot of things, there are very smart people, if you know whom to follow you can read some quality stuff.
I cant miss forum and whats happening here. Trough the day I hang out on couple exchanges, I gamble a bit, I always see some new opportunity for investment, something new thats happening, crypto is source of incredible things.

I do not think it is too stressful for a trader to trade his coins for the day. Volatility does matter a lot but it does not mean that you will have to stick to your laptop screen to see when the price would go up. I have seen friends who day trade with their jobs going on as well.

You do not need to so much preoccupied about the loss and win. I in the first place prefer long term trading tbh because there is good return and is proportional to the work you do in crypto.

Well thats the best way to treat and do crypto trading,just use your extra time and money also,never engaged to serious and just make some trades with enjoyment, but also focus on knowledgeable topics here to gain more.learning
I know there are.few.whos doing trading as main source of Living but i am not one of them because like you i have also a regular job in real life

Your timing to trade is at the bad shaped of market and i hope what you did is Hold the coins until now since we are now starting to.move up

It is nice for you to do this as your part time job/income. Well, as a full time traders TA(technical analysis) will always be a part of it.
Without this things it will be hard for the traders to earn a lot in crypto for sure. Just always remember the basic things in trading which is
buy low then sell at high price value.

Here I may not be a full-time trader, but sometimes I do that. I trade according to my condition and mood, and for the benefits I get it can't really be expressed because to be honest I don't profit every day in trading.

Unfortunately, because of the employment at work, I also cant give full-time trading. I trade for a few hours in the evening. I can not say that my results are successful, but I'm learning.

It's possible if you are a swing trader or a long term trader. These are the best ways of trading and they don't require you to sit at home all day glancing at your screen.
Another way is to use a bot but bots don't earn you a lot of money. A bot is like that miner working while you're working.

Some people like to open a position and wait for weeks for it to fill and others open and fill dozens of small position every day. It's always your choice how you want to play it out.

Crypto traders who are in total running the source of income from crypto will certainly be full day trading so that they have mastered several crypto coins which become their mainstay in trading, it may be more profitable than losing.
This will be different from the crypto owner who runs trading on part-time basis in analyzing prospective coins, it must be more time consuming so that the results are accurate and can provide profit.

  Atleast you tried to spend time in trading even in an accommodate way, just to earn profits gradually. Perhaps, there are certain of times that trade is not liable to become our pioneer income, maybe a part time earnings, due of having diversion phase of market that certainly failed to earn profits in the mean time.
