Bitcoin Forum

Hello everyone, I was introduced to this forum by a friend who advice me to be marketing IEO/ICO companies but I see trading as the only thing I picked interest and willing to spend time here to learn. As a result of this I have dedicated 5 - hours daily to learn about crypto tradibg here in the forum since my research only keep me discouraged and scared due to their negative emphasis. I will like to know the difference between shot term and long term trading and the one that is much profitable. Also the different risk involved in both.

Best Regards

CHRIS

Errr long term suggests a larger margin for profit. But, you'd need quite a vision for it since some coins could potentially go down without any cause. Plus, as the name says, profit comes after lets say 3 to 4 years. 2 years at the minimum I think.
As for short term profit, well that has a smaller margin for profit. You'd need daily analysis of charts and current market price and then invest at the right time so that you could profit in the basis of 1hr 3r 5hr time intervals. Basically, its an everyday struggle to watch the market.
Thats what I think anyway.

Both styles of trading can be profitable what you need to do is to find out which one is better for you, if you are willing to take a higher level of risk and you are willing to watch the markets every day for hours then short term trading will be a good option for you, but if you prefer to minimize your risks and you have no problem with holding your coins for months or even years if needed be then long term trading could be a better option for you.

Always makes me excited when discussing trading, because in my opinion playing trading must have the ability to read the market.
If you don't have the ability to try trading right away, I'm almost certain that the capital will be exhausted soon. There are two types
of trading inside this is the first long term and the second daily trading. For long-term it is easier to do because you only need to buy
coins then set a target sell, usually for long-term it requires a minimum of more than 1 year to enjoy profit. And if daily trading must
choose the right coins because this strategy must find coins that have fast movements or volatility high. Because daily trading targets
the profit earned per day. So it's not just anyone can use this strategy, especially for newbies not advised to play daily trading because
it is too high risk. Both trading strategies require a thorough analysis so that they can make the right decision.

Day trading:

• You spend hours and hours looking at charts
• You can earn a good amount of money if you know what you're doing

Long term investing:

• You leave your money on bitcoin and you don't need to do anything for years/decades
• You can do something else like getting a job or starting a business instead of looking at charts daily

Which one is more profitable? It's like asking if it's better to get a job or to start a business.It completely depends on you.

Long term is good you can hold it as long as you want that is a long investment.
Daily trading is much better because you can get an good income everyday you can get profits so daily trading is much better than long term.

Keyword: can

You potentially could make more money by daytrading, but it doesn't mean you will. Day trading is much much harder you think. It's pretty evident due to most traders actually lose money by day trading instead of actually earning. And don't even forget the time consumed that could be used for other more productive things instead.

Trading is indeed the best way to earn bitcoin and it is possible to earn a living through it! However, long term trading which is also known as swing trading, is not a very suitable style of trading for a lot of people unless you invest a large sum of money! Because in long term trade, less numbers of trades are executed so you need larger amount in profit.

On the other hand, in day trade you will need to ride on the small changes in the market which doesn't require a lot of capital and you tend to execute more number of trades with small profit to make it up for you!

I would rather request you to visit youtube and learn about various trading strategies! You will find a lot of channels to learn there. I can personally name "Crypto Love" and " Bitcoin for beginners" because I got immensely benefitted from them during my initial days! Good luck!

Try risking a little bit of money. Maybe that way you could learn more.
Sorry for my offer but I learned trading the difficult way. Mostly I lose at the first time but as it goes on I got the catch of it and got hooked in a sudden.

The 1st and 2nd one may be bitter but the third and fourth may become the sweetest of all. Won the trade converting it to USD but I learned it should not also be that way.
Try making more bitcoin if you are aiming for it or the altcoin that you prefer.
You should be getting more of that than how it is converted with USD.

Nice that you'll be putting time and effort to research first before entering trading that's a good start, if you have knowledge in stock market then it can be easy for you, you just need to study the main crypto you'll invest with and the better exchange. For long term better invest in top coins and for day trading if you have time to watch and read news then go for active developing products of altcoins.

In every trade that has good value, whether it is long term or even daily, we know that trading has a high risk, you just need to research it again
In the long run you can enjoy greater results but it takes a long time and years,
In the daily run you can look for coins or altcoins that have value to the market, and trade with little.
If you have the ability or can analyze the market better today, it will benefit daily profits.

That's what we need to be able to trade properly, If we will not do research then don't expect that you will have great return on it. As earning are coming from learning, and no one is earning if you don't do effort in learning.

Anyway, for those who will do day and long term trading, always check your time availability, capital, and if you are mentally ready and willing to have some patient. They are both good but still on our hands how we will get profit.

Both short term and long term trading will profitable, but that depends on the coin you bought. The daily trading will be different than short term, and long term trading as the daily trading means you are trading daily, and you keep searching the right coin to trade. Daily trading will be difficult to do because you need to have the skills to get the right coin. I think you should try to do short term and long term trading since you still learning about trading. For short term trading, you can choose any coin at the market, but of course, you need to analyze one by one, so you can find the right coin. For long term trading, perhaps, you can choose bitcoin because you will hold it for a long time.

But some altcoin can be profitable in the long term, but that will be difficult to know as the altcoin will always follow bitcoin moves, so I think it is better to select bitcoin for long term trading. Long term trading can be called holding a coin for the long term, and you don't panic if the price is down, but in reality, many traders still panic if the price is down. So be careful

Don't.

This is not the place to learn trading. To be honest, can't even see how anyone coming in here for the first time and landing on this trading thread can think this is the place to come and learn.

Sharing, looking for opinion and sentiment, yeah. Discussions on Trading aren't very useful here (actually better TA can be found in Speculation).

Take your 5 hours elsewhere, seriously. Just look at the responses to your question and please tell me you agree.

Chris,  as the word suggest you short term investment is bit risky wherein you need to keep yourself updated s with all the news which will affect the crypto market in positive as well as negative way and then choose a coin to invest and cash out when the value shoots up and buy back when it's low. It's literally like buying at low selling at high which has high risk factor if you kiss right opportunity against long term investment wherein you find a coin which has potential to grow multi fold in few years and invest a huge amount and cashing out after few year which it can give you profit and here you need to wait for right moment.

Since you are a newbie, you can consider long term trading for now. Not until you are ready to go for the higher risk and more complicated learnings, then do some short trades. Short term tradings requires your full attention since you have to check the market and the charts from time to time while in long term trading you can set your goal price and wait it to pump to take profits.
 
Also, always remember to choose which coin you should buy for long term and short term trades. I suggest major coins like btc, eth, bnb for long term and some altcoins for short term trades

In my experience, we should not hold long term for the cryptocurrency market. because this is not a safe place for you to deposit your money for businesses. because businesses never publish their financial statements and we don't know what they are doing.
So holding long term will be very risky. trading is better because the market volatility is pretty good.

There is no fix answer to this question. If you are good in day trading, why settle for long term? The most profitable way to earn more crypto apart from directly buying is day trading. But since the risk is high in day trading especially if your trading skills is below good, a lot of people are resorting to long term hodling, including me, although I day trade seldom. If you are not good, the answer would be long term hodling. If you are more than sure of your predictions, day trade is for you. 

Maybe it can be done at the same time, if we're willing to do the rest and face the risk no matter what. Minimizing our risk was difficult to do, while you're maintaining that daily potential profit to at your balance. That's why we need to focus on our goals as we move forward on daily task on trading, and if sometimes you encounter such signs of losing we can divert our coins for long term holding.
Having both of these strategies will always be an assurance for us, to obtain a secure future on our important assets.

I don’t understand what you’re here for anymore, being introduced to this forum to market IEO/ICO companies and only turning to the trading discussion board to learn. I hope you elaborate on your story on how you came to this.

Anyways, I think most of the part of long term and short term trading has been discussed by others who posted before me here. I want my approach too. Let’s start with Daily Trading

Daily Trading:

• You trade daily and concerned with ending the day either in profit or in a loss.
• You are called a scalper
• You choose to check multiple charts in which satisfies your condition
• You are at a fast pace, using a fast trading strategy. (SMA Cross, Ping Pong, etc.)

Long term Trading:

• You are not concerned with the daily profit or loss, you are looking at the future possibilities
• Not affected too much by emotions of the regular results
• You are a swing trader
• Probably have a reliable strategy that you believe in (Elliot Wave, Fibonacci, etc.)

That’s just my take on when I encounter short and long term trading. I would like to have my strategy that fits my style, and I’m leaning more into the Long Term trading strategy. Where I bet on my skills on plotting, hoping that it’s a winning trade.

This is all precisely correct. Trading is really risky whether it is in long term or daily trading because you are using your money to earn huge money. In my own opinion, you should be trying daily trading because you can earn more faster and you can avoid overnight risk, but daily trading is riskier that long term trading because you might get empty handed due to huge losses, that is why you need to have a lot of experience in trading and you need to have a time management because you need to watch the market's movement every time and to avoid a lot of mistakes in trading.

Day trading happens only in a single amount of time probably a minutes, taking the advantages of short-term fluctuations and this only occurs within the day while long term trading takes a months or even a year, basically you only need to the HODL technique from this one. Regarding which of them will be more profitable I think it is still depends on the liquidity of the market. In day trade you can only earn a small percentage of profit compared to long term but in total percentage of your profit within months or year, you could be somehow get the same amount of return.

The best way to know what's best for you is to try which is more comfortable for you that would suit your trading style. Everyone has their own trading style that suits to their strategy either long term or short term. Both has had their own pros and cons, it is only you who can answer to your question once you try it on your own. We are just giving you a heads up here so that it will be easy for you to trade on your own soon.

Day trading isn't easy to do. Swing is going to be your best strategy since the price could go drop to 5% to -5% that's your chance to earn bucks, all you need is to wait for the price changes and this normally happen within a week. Long term however is literally going to make you wait for long period of time. That means waiting til you see bullrun.

I know a few people in our circle of friends that really is into day trading bitcoin. They are posting their profits every time they made a good day out of that. Also, Shorters seem to enjoy this current situation in BTC right now. Instability in prices is like the waves of the Shorters in surfing. Hence, day trading can be profitable but only if you're better than the average trader and good at managing risk, and coping with stress.

However i highly recommend to trade the more longer term swings in the market which are easier to predict and don't cause as much stress. although it requires a lot more patience, and sometimes you have to wait many months for your trade to work out. easiest and probably most profitable for most people long term is to just accumulate Bitcoin now as long as there is an 50 percent discount from ATH and wait for the next bull cycle to begin.

I suggest long-term trading because it is more profitable more especially if you are HODLing bitcoin. I don't recommend long-term trading for altcoins rather day-trading for easy profits. Altcoins are seasonal, unlike bitcoin which always recovers after the crash many altcoins die forever after the market crash.

This is amazing I beginning having confidence of I can do it I see there are lots of genus here who are willing to teach newbies at any time if only they are willing to learn I must confess its not easy but am excited I have come across so many good opinions and it makes me feel am already a potential trader. I will learn to be careful to be on a safer side. The first time I see the displace of cryptocurrencies exchange it looks nagical to me but now I started getting some inserts.

Thanks for your kind  words I really appreciate I will take time to watch your referred Youtube videos to gain more knowledge about trading and I will prefer the daily trading just like you said I may take it as life time job if it goes well for me thats why I took much of time here to acquire the knowledge of this trading.

Sure you right practice makes perfect I know I can't do it all theoritically I will ensure I start soon and make sure I put in my best to appreciate all the efforts of those who help me with different opinions here. I know its not going to be easy since many people have pass through the process and made I believed I will not be excepted I will share here my achievement in no distant time.

Thanks for your motivational advice I will ensure I followed all instruction so I can aim higher. Daily trading is what I will focus on because I only have little start up capital I really appreciate you all.

All good but can you tell me the coins that are really good to invest on long term? Though I prefer to go for short term trading now but as a future potential trader I see my self I will love to even learn ahead so that my aim will be easier as time goes.

There's a ton of work involved in either type of trading, though I have observed that most beginner traders and newer traders tend to have better luck trading on longer timeframes because there's much less noise in larger timeframes, and it's also usually pretty easy to discern what the trend is when you zoom out a bit. The problem is knowing when to stop going in one direction and when to potentially start to trade in the other way, but with daytrading you've generally got more things to worry about and watch. No matter what style of trading you choose, though, make sure you've got a risk management plan in mind! Make sure the risk to reward ratio of each trade you make is appropriate, or don't make the trade.

It all depends on their needs and circumstances, because to do daily trading they do it because of the needs that must be met and only expect income from trading results and in my opinion they have mastered and experts because of the needs that require them to trade every day and must continue to monitor the market and graphics as often as possible and it has become part of their work.
and most long-term trading is controlled by those who already have a permanent job or a steady income because their needs are met from the results of their salary, and long-term choices are their best choice without concern and are not required to continue to monitor the market situation, because they trade without limits time and just waiting for the highest price to sell it even though it takes a long time.

so you choose a trade that suits your circumstances and needs.

In the beginning, it is best to consider oneself as a long term trader and learn the behavior of market to the extent where it becomes easy to predict the next change. Once more understanding is developed, it becomes easy to day trade. The ultimate goal should be day trading. It is far more beneficial than any other form but this is only possible if the asset is bitcoin. Day trading demands volatile asset.

Well after reading this I got to know one thing that you really have good knowledge about both the Day trading and Long term trading. I like getting knowledge because i know any kind of trading you use but you will have to get Knowledge. I personally like to trade for long term as it does not need to keep eyes on market all time also it reduces risk, i can easily concentrate on my daily job so, i like long term trading.

It’s written everywhere, the same lines. And if you try to trade, or hold, you have probably been in many different situations. Handling problems or difficult situations is a learning process. We can read what others teach us
but if we don`t try that in practice it’s hard that we will learn something more. Theory and practice are two different things.
I tried daily trading and all I just lost money, it’s not for me. After a couple of months of daily trading where I had just few profitable days, I decided to stop and not doing that ever again. I invest in coin and I hold it for months and some of them for years now, waiting for their prices to rise.

Depending on the preferences of each investor because it is not always lucky to make a good profit from this market. I think if you are good at day trading then you will always know how to make good profits but to be able to reach this level you need to have a lot of experience in investing. I have met a lot of day traders and most of them are very comfortable and don't feel pressured when the market turns red.

In fact, everyone wants to be able to do this but the day trading is not suitable for small investors like me so I still choose long-term investment because that is the only way to make me good profit.

both manner are profitable mate and it always depends on the coin you want to invest .  What i mean this both is just a strategy only wherein you can make few dollars.  Short term are for those have potential to grow in just short time.  And it is good strategy especially if you want to accumulate qyick profits.  And of course long term is for long run and must have patience ,wherein make sure that the coin you want to invest are good and will fit for long run to receive a good return at the end. 

First of all, consider the volatility in this sphere and the high probability of losing in both trades and never start trading without having enough information. Also do not start until you overcome the fear of losing.

Short term trading is not the kind of trade an inexperienced person can do. Much more risky. But long term is just about the wait, you wait years for the right time. Also, you spend the effort in long term trade by researching until you invest. But, in short term, this research never ends. lol

I have a different view to you. For this market full of manipulations, day trading will be quite risky and we will be really tired waiting for news and signals from the elephants and watching the chart continuously moving. It will lead to a lot of stress.
I think in the crypto market, anything can happen. Therefore, long-term investment in a good alts and waiting for the price of strong pump will be better. Such as RET, BQQQ, MXC coin, ...

Long-term investments are much less risky than day trading because during the day trading the market will test you through many traps that large players place on the market
and you will have to make difficult decisions related to opening and closing both long and position.

The most difficult decisions will be associated with short positions.
You can try day trading in a safer manner trading only through Long positions. However, without proper experience, I would have abstained in your place.

Not in investing actually but with trading experiences you will become a master in it. Depending on what trading strategy you use but for safer trading if you are a new newbie, long-term trading is the best way to get used to the market. Then you can proceed to practice the short-term or scalping trading if have a lot of experiences in trading.

The two are okay, if you as a trader understand the ethics of trading on a long term or on a day trade. Basically am into a day trade with passion and dedication to my hustle, am always checking out the best opportunity between Bitcoin and USDT, officially I used Heikin Ashi to track available signals, I haven't regret any time trading: on a day trade 

When you don't have enough information in trading, long term trading will be a good choice to choose because you don't need to select too many coins to trade. But if you have skill in trading, then daily trading will be matched for you, but that depends on the market movements because if the market is in the bear market, I think it will be difficult to select the coin. You will be confused or disappointed if, and somehow, your coin won't increase for a few days. Let's keep practice for the lesson so you can improve your skills to be better and you can also try with the daily trading.

5 hours is one heck of a long period to learn a lot. If you do that everyday then I am sure you will be a pro in no time.
But always remember this, even the pros had a difficult time getting profit for every trade. There are a lot of times they also lose.

So, even if you spend a lot of time monitoring the trend and even with technical analysis you might end up broke if the tide wont side with you.

I think the most important thing when investing is profit because most people participating in this market often don't care about the value of that coin. I have tried many different ways of trading to make a profit but long-term investment may be more suitable because the current market is still very much risky and if not careful, you will easily panic sell. In my opinion you need to have a specific plan to make money in this market because not everyone can succeed in the financial field.

Long term or day trading for me has similarity in purpose. Both of them only about periode how long we will close our transaction.if we have skill in day trading i am sure it will be big advantages for us.this strategy could applied to in long term trading.only left psychology and mind controll that will be our task,so our skill really complete.

Yes off course trading is a game of experience, knowledge and tricks about the market, if a person knows all these then he can do any kind of trading whether it is long term or day trading, but I will recommend long term trading for every beginner as the level of risk is much low in it as compare to day trading, day trading needs the experience of years.

The trading option should depend on your capacity. Firstly, you have to learn a lot of things regarding this platform and then you can make a choice what is favorable to you, I think long term trading is quite good for a newcomer, because if you don't have any experience then you should not take any high risk, Except proper knowledge about this platform you couldn't make any profit, But Short term trading is very profitable but quite risky, If you can manage properly then short term trading could make you very rich so decision is yours, But my suggestion goes to you that, You should make clear yourself and then you could make a decision whatever you want.

for someone who is new to trading, I agree if they choose short-term trading. it can make them learn about the trading experience at the time. although in this case, I mostly do long-term trading. however, I think someone who is new in trading will not be patient with long-term trading, so short-term trading is quite recommended.

short-term trading will benefit someone when someone is good enough to pay attention to prices, and analysis in the near future. in this case sometimes I look for information in the media for predictions and analysis of prices that will occur in the near future. so, before doing that, knowledge and information become very important points.

In trading alone I prefer trading in the Daily run because this can be beneficial for me. there money can spin faster than we wait until the daily. although the benefits in terms of percentage I do not take large amounts. 5% for the daily target is already very large and our needs can be covered by our trading results

There is the problem actually, you are already aiming for higher profits.
Why not start small, test it. Risk a little amount then maybe you could learn more from it.
I get it, that we all need the money but it should not be at a small amount of time.
Any business that is made in a quick risky method could also end in a quick destruction. Better savor every moment or there will be a time that you will get bored in trading due to the repeated monitoring and all that needs to be done.

Obviously, Day trading is wonderful earning platform for Day traders. Because you have minimum 3 years experience in crypto platform so you know how we survive all the situation. But beginners are loose the investment at anytime so long term investment is good for new investors and they trying slowly in mid term and finally pic the day trading is a nice handling for all the investors.

Agree with you, start with small amount of investment, don't take risk with all your money, so better be careful and take it easy, there are things in life that we are control of.

For daily and long term trading it depends on you, if you have much time then you can do day trading but if you are busy person then long term trading is fit for you..

I don't think that this is the best place to learn trading from. You need to learn two basic things: technical analysis and risk management. Once you master those then you can really start putting some capital into the market. Until then I recommend demo/paper trading. The timeframe you trade really depends on your personality and how much time you wanna invest into this endeavour. If you wanna do something else beside standing in front of your monitors like you have a business to run,etc. then take higher timeframe trades.

As a matter of fact, it depends on individual skills whether he can do short term trading or not. Moreover, it would be much better for a novice to start with long term trading as that way, he will have more to time to learn and analyze the fluctuating pattern of rate. Once he holds good knowledge, he can go with short term trading and advance to day trading, the most beneficial type.

If day trading is really wonderful like you said, there will be lot of trader who become rich people in the world right now. The fact is there are only few people who survived or earn huge profit through daily trading. Day trading has very high risk to earn some money, you could lose a lot just in a week if you always do cut loss in your trade.

It's just very simple, Day trading if you are winning, but if your coin is losing the price, that will be turn into long term trading. Because basically you don't want to lose your trade so the only option that will be left is to wait for the price to go up and to win your trade. If you don't want to lose your trade then wait. Remember it's not a lose if you are not closing your trade.



For me no special skills needed, just follow the trend and the news. Do long term and day trading at the same time, that will be the most beneficial type of trading, Doing both.

They are both. Short term trading is profitable if you understand how it works and you're able to trade. If not, you will just be losing your money and nothing else. If you want to start trading you will have to learn technical analysis or maybe find a very reliable source that will do that for you (for your information, most of them that do this are fake).

Long term trading, do you mean HODL? HODL is more easy than day trading, because there isn't much work that you will have to do except that you will be trying to follow up with news and technical analysis but not as much as you would with day trading. You just have to target the right time to invest your money and then wait for the price to increase, and when it does increase, you can then withdraw your profit.

I guess most people here are doing both like myself too. Yes, I am also doing both long term holding and short term trading. But, the big differences in how much risk you will be taking for each kind. I do long term holding for 95% of my capital whereas for short term trading (still I am not into day trading) I risk only 5% of my capital.

basically daily trading and long-term trading have their respective advantages, if we have a good strategy. in conducting daily trading, we must have a strategy to be able to get profits every day. Long-term trading will be profitable if we have the right speculation for a long time. the strategy to do daily trading in my opinion is to take profit when the selling price is greater than the purchase price. but if you do have time every day for you to use as learning. I think daily trading is the right choice for you. You can see market price movements to take profits at the same time you can also learn. and in my opinion daily trading can minimize risk compared to long-term trading. in trading we must be patient and don't panic when market price movements are not what you expect.

I have been trying to learn this for the past few years and the actual application is very different so I think you should be more careful when trading in this market. I have learned how to manage risk and always divide capital clearly when investing so my risk has been greatly reduced this year. In fact, not everyone can do this because the market requires a lot of luck and many investors have abandoned this market after a period of participation.

If you guys have a trouble and obstacles for doing daily trading with technical analysis i think you should do trading based by news or fundamental analysis.
Trading with news based is work for me this year, i'm following all official account of crypto company and crypto people and always up to date with their news, because news in crypto is really affected the price. Maybe you won't able to do trade everyday because the good news is not always happen every day, but it's better for you who want a sure profits, but don't aim for too much profit because it can be a trap too.
Or if you can combine the technical analysis and fundamental from the news, i'm sure you will be successful trader

Well that's because the tips you get here are what works for the certain individual who gave the tip. If a day traders would tell you how to efficiently makr day trades, he's giving you what works for him. That doesn't mean it'll work for you. Some people excel in making day trades while some people don't. The basics are pretty much the same though when it comes to technicalities, not everyone will be a good day trader. Find what works for you using small amounts.

Your daily target is quite huge to me, and I think it would be difficult to achieve that, because the problem with settling a high target is that until you meet that target, you will not want to pay attention to some of the smaller percentage that you would have actually taken to make you more profit.

With this target, I am certain that if you see some of these 1 percent increases, you may not really take it, forgetting that 1 percent could flash several times within a day than 5 percent would flash. I do day trading too and I reefer it because it makes me feel  like I am receiving my daily salary, but my target is not up to that 5 percent, I just have 1 to 2 percent maximum, so that I don’t lose out of any of the two percentage and has help me too for a long time.

Personally, I think that an inexperienced person should not engage in trading on small timeframes in the cryptocurrency market. This market either stands still or is very volatile. With high volatility and lack of experience, you can lose your deposit. You better try yourself in long-term trading or practice in traditional markets.

I think there are a lot of threads in here discuss about each day trading and long term trading, plus minus about it. You can make your deep research about it first. And then if you in hurry to trade, try use small amount and learn about it first. With that, you can maximized your time and can get knowledge, and earn money if you profit in your trading activity.

I suggest not to get into a hurry, trading requires time to learn and knows the market position.
We can do both short and long term trading depending on our coins of choice. Not actually daily trading can be profitable all the time most especially when you don't have ample time to do trading. It is quite simple, will have to choose that could be best for our side, time and in our comfort zone. We know the risk inside and must to think wisely before then, otherwise, will just put a quick ends of our trades.

Those shorter timeframes are usually for people who have a lot of time on their plate and have experience with scalping. Aside from that, I wouldn't advice anyone to trade on those timeframes. More experienced traders I've seen trade on longer timeframes. Say -  Weekly or even monthly time-frames. My favorite is daily TF and the Weekly TF. They sure give me some good insights that those short TF.

Day trading is not a task for newbies and require lot of hard work,skill and high knowledge about the prevailing market conditions.Beside from this you need time to analyze the chart and monitor daily growth of the coin in which you are trading and then only you can gain profits but still a lot of pressure on mind whereas in long term you need to be calm and hodl the coin but you must have invested in the right coin which have potential to grow after 3-4 years and you can get high profits in the form of price rise.Both types of trading require knowledge,skill and time at their own level.

I also dont understand what he means, where is he getting taught and by who? which thread if he can share?

If you have plenty of time to give in trading daily then a short term trading is good for you. It also depends on how much you would like to trade. You can have both long term and short term if you plenty of funds too. You can hold a fund that you're willing to risk for long term period. And play everyday for the short term trading. Anyway, if you are always updated of the price since you also do short term trading then the long term you've traded is always on your control as well.

Having a huge daily target will just push the trader to do more. This is ultimately beneficial for the person himself. He will increase his amount of efforts. In order to pay attention towards small percentages too, a trader can achieve his goal in steps. There is a famous saying, “If your dreams do not afraid you, they are not that big”. He might fail achieving 5 percent, but 1 or 2% will be attained with no pain.

Day trading doesn't only mean on doing trades from time to time and come to think that opportunities of good entries doesn't come always.
You would need to be really careful on selecting entries and making some profitable exits if you do really want to sustain or would last into trading career.
Rushing up things would only lead to loss because you do just hurry to make money without setting up precautionary measures on each possible hardship
that would encounter.

Long term trading doesn't need much of your effort to be honest,just buy the crypto and hold it longer and the profit margin could also be more based on how long you were able to hold it and also on which market condition you entered into,basically bear market is the right time for long term trader to enter.

When it comes to short term there is different trading types like daily trading or trading few times a week,seems like you are going to be a daily trades since you mentioned you have 5 hour to spend for it which can be used to make decent amount as well but only if you are good in technical analysis and decision making at critical situations.

LONG TERM: means you need to wait a lot of time before to get prpfits patience is the key for long term investment in crypto.
DAILY TERM: in a daily trading if you are not greedy and enjoy working in trading and satisfied to get an small earning to a void trap is the best key to get success and of course focus in one important thungs.
RISK: for long term the risk is if you are keepung shit couns makes sure are also updated for that because is possible shitcoin deleted from the list in coin market cap so it's cause of loses.
Day day the risk is hugh than to long term because we know the volatility mives of crypto is very fast and possible in a minute after we buy coin their price goes into a very lower price value so uf scared and panic to get lose, so to avoid the risk need to be strong as stader is part in trading.

Here's a much simpler term in differentiating those two kinds of trading.

Short trading/Day trading : Is basically buy and sell of various altcoins in the market in a daily basis. It needs constant monitoring on the market price and chart and It usually has small profit margin and it bears extremely high risks.

Long term trading : Is basically holding/hoarding your crypto asset and wait for the price to pump which usually takes effect for more than a year or two. Make sure to have enough supply for you to be able to get good amount of profit during selling period.

Daily and long-term trading are both efficient methods of earning income overtime especially if you posses the experience, knowledge, skill, and data to foresee the upcoming future and market trends that may happen. But these two are distinct and carry with it their respective risks.

In day-trading, it is necessary that you have the sufficient capital to fund your trades every day. It is also advisable that you set your profit/loss limit or cap before trading so you could prevent unnecessary losses. In long-term trading, the risk is relatively low but it carries with it the longevity in realization of profits.

which one is more profitable? In my opinion to maximize profits from market fluctuations, short trading is more profitable because we continue to trade in the short term with fluctuating speed. Although the profit depends on your trading skills, because there are many strategies, tools and bots that you can use to trade. Besides that you need many sources of information besides this forum.

In my opinion long-term investment will be a lot safer because this is the best solution in the bear market. There are a lot of very good people in day trading but to be able to do that, they had to go through a lot of great losses in investment so not everyone is brave enough to do this. I personally only choose day trading when the market is trending upwards because that always a good time to make big profits. Of course, it's not always successful because the market often has unexpected price drops that make us unpredictable.

It can be more profitable indeed if you know how to deal with fluctuating market. A lots of of day traders are enjoying this volatile movement, if you do have the right tools and system to follow you can get decent profits from your day trade / short term activities. While for those who are dealing with long or medium time frame. People who wanted to earned bigger and have a good skills anticipating the next bull run are also gainers from this market. It's the system that you are following that will give you good amount of profits.

It is clear that long-term trading is much better than daily or short-term trading, and long-term trading is far more profitable and doing trading calmly and without worry and panic.
long-term trading risks only require strong patience and no time limit and just waiting for prices to go up high to make sales.

Yes, I learned a lot of it on YouTube for my daily trading strategy. At first I did experience a little difficulty because I had to monitor continuously on the pc cycle up and down of a coin on the trading chart to get profit at a predetermined time interval. Indeed, the benefits are relatively small because based on time that is not long. So I set a profit in one or two hours even if only 1 percent, if not so, price for coin can simply go down and my chance is lost, other losses if you lose the opportunity have to wait a few more hours to be able to return  the original price and less to take profit. It can even be a whole day. Therefore, it must be right on target.
Whereas if the long-term investment is actually not too time-consuming like trading daily if you are ready with finances that must be saved for one or two years or you must have other income besides relying on investment. To cover your daily needs, but I'm sure you have other income besides crypto.

What you all mention is right, but usually a lot of people out there really rush when they want to do trading. WIthout enough knowledge about it, and only rely luck, buy, sell, hold strategy. Although they get profit, only in matter of time when they face their loses because do trading without proper analysis.

Between long term and daily trading I prefer most the daily trading like you. It is a matter of fact that in daily trading you can really experience some heavy losses but you can also experience that you can win a huge amount of money if you've been successful in trading industry while in long term you just need to sit and wait a long time in order to earn money, but what if the coin that are you waiting to pump up didn't pump up? Then you will suffer a huge loss if that happens.

Daily trading with crypto requires you to give in 100% of your day. If you have another job, I suggest to just HODL long term.

The best strategy would be to just buy and forget.   ::)

With trading you can make more money everyday, and if you get into IEO/ICO you must have a lot capital. In trading you can make with a little capital.

With margin trading you can claim a position on either side, by shorting(selling) peaks or longing(buying) dips, with up to 100x your holdings.

I personally use prime-xbt.net because it doesn't require KYC and offers the best options in terms of coins.

Is it true that we must monitor markets at all times? I don't think it's necessary all the time. we can also use many features that are already available. Cute Lose Alarm. for me it is enough when I want daily trading. and indeed for a time we never knew how long I would be able to Take Profit but as a side job in fact I could trade and also my main job.time management here is also important

I think if you really want to make money trading crypto you have to always keep on eye on the charts. Simple because these are such volatile (and often manipulated) markets. There can be 2 days of low volume trading with barely any price movement. And then all of a sudden some big player comes in and makes the whole market pump or dump 10% within 5 minutes. If you were not looking at the charts (or even asleep) during such a moment the losses could be catastrophic. This is also why stop-losses are so important in crypto.

Long term holding is by far the easiest way to make money from  your investments. However, short term(day trading) will make a lot more money in the long run. It really all depends on what you're comfortable with. If you're the type of person that drives themselves crazy whenever they have a trade not make any money, then maybe long term holding is for you. If you're not afraid to lose on a trade knowing you'll get it right back the next trade, then give day trading a shot. If you're new, then just hold long term.

Not necessarily, although you can certainly earn a better profit if you do use margin.  Personally I never did, because I really don't like borrowing money in order to trade.  Using leverage is not without risks, and in fact it could be a huge risk.  What do you think wiped out all those traders in the 1920s in the stock market?  A lot of stocks were bought on margin and many people couldn't make their margin calls when stocks started to drop.

To op, I would recommend just using a buy and hold strategy and to buy *now* while most coins are selling for cheap prices.  You really just have to pick the right ones, and the rest is just being patient.  Not sure what you're studying, but if it's technical analysis, ie, chart reading, be careful.  The best investors are the ones using fundamental analysis, and that's true of many markets.

Learning by experience is a very effective way to learn but it is also incredibly painful, it is better to try to learn all what you can before you try to become a trader, if people did this I am sure we will not see as many traders making the same mistakes all the time, another factor against trading at this moment is that many choose to invest in altcoins because they want to multiply their bitcoin in a fast way but with altcoins in such a bad shape it is better to wait until things change.

Thats the thing about trading though, you can't really learn it from reading books (except for some TA basics), you have to learn from experience. One way to get experience without suffering losses is just trading without any money, write down every trade you would make but don't actually do them, then after a while you can see and evaluate what your result would have been. Or you can also just start with a small amount, that'll feel more realistic and you won't have to worry about losses.

And then when you feel you're experienced enough you can start trading real money  ;)

Short-term trading of course the target that we want to get is not so big and different from the long term. I agree to do short-term trading because our money turnover is much faster and every day will coumponding and in the end the capital that we spend and successful trading that we complete when we see on a monthly basis will be very large results. compared to long term trading. maybe more precisely investing not trading

Keeping eye on the charts constantly is for those people who trade on daily basis. It is not important for a short or long term trader to go through such hardships because dips don't end within a day. Day trading is only beneficial when done with bitcoin because it has the most volatility. Hence, provides the chance to sell and buy on daily basis and still earning some good profits. Market does not get affected by a single player.

in the case of short-term trading, or daily trading. You can use most crypto currencies on the market. example: you trade on btc / eth, and profit. then move on Btc / xrp, profit. and move again to another coin. so in 1 day you can trade more than 2x. Daily trading profits are smaller, between 2-10%. but for the long term. You only hold 1 or several coins for the long term. with a profit target of + -50%. about mind. You will be calm in the long time.

the difference between daily trading and long-term trading, I think the difference is in terms of strategy. Daily trading strategy is to take advantage of market volatility every day to take profits. For long-term trading, I feel more inclined to long-term speculation by looking at the situation and conditions in the future. for example I am sure that in the next year there will be more market demand than now, so what I do is buy at this time and save it until next year, because I already have confidence that if there is more demand the market price will be even higher. in my opinion daily trading for beginners like you is more profitable, because you can simultaneously learn every day. and the level of risk from daily trading is not too large, because we always see ups and downs in market prices.

There is really no reason that we should do just one way of trading. If you are in situation where you are not sure, it’s better to go for shorts. But if you are sure then long term is obvious route to go for anyone. I do both kind of trading and FreshForex (https://freshforex.com/) broker that I work with allows it without restrictions.

Long term investments need to have specific plans because if you just hold it will certainly not improve your profits. I think that before choosing to invest, it is necessary to set the price to sell because the crypto market often never predict anything so it is best to set a high price when investing. This year I only chose to invest in Bitcoin and some altcoins are in the top 10 because these are safe coins and do not have too much risk.

Of course, you must control your greed when investing because if you don't sell, you will face a lot of risk if the market turns red.

If you practice patient. maybe, long term trading is for you. a lot of long term traders are choosing it because they know what is the advantage of long term and they can learn the flow of the market and experience all of the struggle because of it. but, is not that easy because you can't take any profit time by time you need to wait he price to be lifted. for me I do balance trading, long term and short term trading like day trading is so nice for me to balance and support my long term if I find better project to invest. time to gain knowledge first and follow the profit so to avoid big losses . smarter is better in this flowing.

I believed the simplest between the two is the long-term trading as you rightly said it can easily be adopted by a beginner or newbie in trading, patience is the key to towards becoming profitable in a long run in such type of trading and its is not too complex to understand it technicalities however daily trading requires highly sophisticated skills in both fundamental and technical analysis especially ability to reading charts and price Action.

Long term is good if you know what you are investing is fit for long term, if it has really future just like Bitcoin, Ethereum, but if other altcoins and you are not sure of, then better to hold it in short term, if you have profit already, secure it, don't be too greedy to expect more and don't be hype and believed in everything team is saying, they are just saying it for you to hold and buy more, so simply think 100 times.

As for my personal experience long term investment is much risky than day trading because long term investment takes a certain period of time to know if it is a failure or not although there are early indicators while day trading is an instant win or lose situation so you'll know what to do the next trade. I prefer day trading since I am benefiting on it more often than long term trading.

Investing for the long term is well suited for Top cryptocurrencies with the highest capitalization, because they definitely have a future. Day trading is well suited for both highly capitalized digital assets and fresh projects traded, for example, after IEO. The future of such coins is uncertain, so investing in them for a long term is unreasonably risky.

  As long as bitcoin is being used in daily trading, it will be beneficial because it is the most volatile coin which makes the trading possible. With those coins that remain constant rather move very slowly, it is not possible to make any profits at all. Moreover, if the earned profits are utilized in buying altcoins, it is sad and bad for the investor. All sorts of trading become beneficial with bitcoin.

Long term trading turn out to be more profitable if you buy and HODL the right coin such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Imagine how much money made by the people who bought bitcoin in 2011-2013 today. Day trading is profitable to the professional and experience traders, as a beginner you need to learn to trade first.

FWIW, I've spoken to a number of hedge funds which exclusively trade crypto and they all only trade BTC and ETH. Most are trading either daily or weekly rebalances when appropriate, with teams of quants to develop their strategies of when to buy/sell and how much

Long-term cryptocurrency is better than day trading. Look at the statistics: almost all day traders lost a deposit, but scammers were able to increase their fortune tenfold

Long term holding is less stressful then day trading, but holding cant be interesting as day trading. I have fun, I never risk more then I can lose, so it always interesting, even if I lose some money.
Scammers are everywhere, that's why you should trade only with top coins, the ones with high volume. If you trade with any shit coin you come across, its very possible for you to lose your money on pump and dump scheme! So be careful where you trade, with which coin you trade and you will not have problems with scammers.

Long term

With long-term investing you will avoid major mistakes. For example, when the market is gloomy and the stock price we have dropped by 5%, we take the decision to sell to avoid larger losses. Apparently the next day news emerged so well that the stock price rose 10% and the next day the stock price went up steadily.

Daily Trading

If daily trades often buy and sell transactions will pay a large transaction fee without realizing it. If every trade transaction you pay costs 0.5% of the transaction is made and within one month there are 10 transactions then at least you have lost 5% of your transaction.

The more profitable is actually dependent altcoin also, If Bitcoin, ETH, BCH, LTC and BNB I played long term.But if the altcoin is priced under $1 I play daily trades.

If someone keep investing their profits again and again into earlier capital after every trade then they have better chance of making more profits than long term traders but if you are making losses ad profits then your capital will go as the transaction fee so you will be in loss at the end with no benefits for doing such effort on your daily trading activities that is the reason why long term trading was suggested.

nothing is better, both are the same. in my opinion, it depends on your expertise in analyzing. if you want the long term, good to do on bitcoin because ultimately the price will continue to rise.
while altcoin is not so good for the long term. You can see the history of ATH prices on altcoin which is difficult to achieve again. while bitcoin will continue to make new history. So basically daily trading is good for those of you who rely on income from trading, while the long term is good for those who have a salary and keep it in bitcoin as a long term.

There are different timings we see in the crypto market in which we have to act according to the condition as if in the market if most of the coins are in upward rally then we have to do day trading in which we earn confirmed income if we sell before any fall of the price while if we are not in rally then we have to invest either in high ranked coins or have to stay updated with all coins and have to invest in that particular coin in which there is any great news or development coming from the developers of the coin.

Really it depends on the trader. Some people can handle emotions and patience more easily when trading longer term than short term.

One disadvantage in long term trading is that we can't sure if able to reach our expectations and gain more profits. We could only have this assurance if we only hold Bitcoin as we know its high potentiality over the other which we could expect that price may soar high in the future. Other from that, it will be a big struggle for us.

What makes difficult in Daily Trading is the high risk of losing especially when you are a high emotional trader. There is only a thin chance of making money here which is difficult for beginners and might only suffer consequences of losing.  

Long term trading suits everyone whether person is a newbie or an expert because the risk of losses is minimized in this type of trading and this is the reason, majority of the crypto market customers are practicing long term trading. Of course trader is free from all technical games and complexities, he simply has to buy in bearish market and sell when he has reached his set target of profits.

I think you will have a good result after doing hard work .Its so good you are passing time to get the market .There is nothing concern here about daily or long time trade .I think you need to research and study more.

Trading is something practical not theoretical so this is why traders are unable to understand the concept fully simply by going through books. These books definitely can help you when you are executing discussed trading techniques with real money. So the best way to learn as you discussed is by performing trading techniques with small amount of money rather than going for risky trading amount.

You can learn in that way but very few traders take the time to paper trade, what I see most of the time is that they make a few of those trades and if things point out to a favourable outcome then they get convinced they can make money in the market when their sample size is too small to make those kind of conclusions, you need to do this for long enough to understand how your system behaves under many different circumstances, after all you may have a system that makes you a fortune in a bull market but if it losses everything during a bear market than that system is useless.

There are numerous threads for long term and daily trading, you should need to look into it by searching.
Don't immediately start trading because it seems you don't have even a basic knowledge of cryptos.
First learn about the cryptos (which is quite easy) and then learn trading by getting into the market.

in my opinion daily trading is still the best, why do I say it is still the best because as my own experience originally wanted to trade long-term, after making a profit that's where the feeling of lacking will accompany. and finally feel less continue until finally the profit is reversed into a loss. different from daily trading has ensured the profit we want to get.

Long Term

Long-term investments have a smaller risk because you avoid the mistake of guessing prices in the short term.

Daily Trading

Short-term trading opens and closes positions in less than a day, and of course means you will experience a higher level of stress compared to long-term investors.

Experienced really matters in terms of choosing the types of trading style to workout, if you see the benefits with scalping or short term gains then it will be appropriate to choose this type of trading. If you understand and knows how to handle the risk then it's really a good style to play with this
market. Though most of the time risk is high due to fluctuating market  if you are willing to take and you are good in stopping right away, then you
can really make a good outcome from this market.

Whether it is day trading or long term trading, one shall always set some goals according to the predictions of experts and the potential of the coins you are holding. Of course if in long term trading you is not withdrawing profit in surge just to see the maximum amount a coin can reach, and then it is your fault not of long term trading. Short term trading generates continuous profits but far less than long term trading.

Relying on experts is not good, it is wise and better if we will have our own way of analysis, although, sometimes we need to have the opinions of some experts especially those who are trusted one, who are giving real score, real analysis, signal, and those who are stating the advantage and disadvantages if ever you would like to take risk on it.

We can't learn easily by doing on our self in which we need a proper guidance by those a lot of experience people around us. If we try to analyze on the long term it really takes time to wait and must a lot of patience you have. On the other hand of daily trading it needs much more time as you always monitor it every now and then. So much better, hear some advices for those users here in crypto currency community.

Long-term investment in cryptocurrencies is now better, because so many coins have fallen to the bottom. This is a great opportunity to buy them. But I would advise you to buy only omnet from the top 100, the rest are likely to die. Here's a study that says why most altcoins will die
https://neironix.io/news/guides/can_bitcoin_force_altcoins_out_a_brief_analysis_of_the_current_situation

Not all of the top 100 will survive even in their current rankings, if the altcoin season reappears there will be many altcoins that have never been considered, go straight in and get rid of the others, their project readiness is now just waiting for momentum. I suggest that only the top 10 can be trusted for the long term.

Long-term trading will be very confusing for people who often check prices every day. it's better to use the opposite strategy to get more momentum with profit and also loss calculation.

for now I only trade short-term, sometimes I open margin trading with care. In fact, I consider that long-term trading is not a type of trader but an investor.

If there's one thing I know, It's the fact that Long term traders are not entirely investors. Long term traders have the larger opportunity in my opinion. Short term is mainly for scalping and the potential profit is usually small. Compared to that of Short term traders.




Short term or long term trading, none is better than the other. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. In all, It depends on the person and which TFs they're flexible with.

Why this disadvantage only applied to long term trading, when even on day trading you can't be if you can reach to expectation.


Daily trading does not mean you need take risk on every movement of the price.

A newbie can choose an in-between path. Just buy some good coin and set a expected selling price whenever you reach the goal sell it. Else hold it.

Yes if you are trading for a day or for the long term but you will have to learn it well and know the right time for trading. I am new in trading and I don’t know much about trading so I believe in long term trading it contains less risk than day trading.  For long term trading, I get a chance to learn to trade and get profit as trading without knowledge is lose.

I hope you are not misinterpreting long and daily long-term trading, for example in the example of Bitcoin in December 2017 the price reached a range of $19,000 then you already bought at that time and expect long-term trading to be hold until now at $8700, is that what you call a risk small? no bro ... remember basically trading both long term and short term has a big risk.

Agree since trading is not about long term it's about taking the profit whenever you see a good opportunity to accumulate the profit and I believe the one he mention is holding not trading since there are so many technicalities regarding on matter. But we cannot blame people to think like that since not all of the people can understand the real essence of trading and newbies always though that it's easy process but in reality it's hard as shit since if you analyze the situation and bought then hold for more longer months the same scenario you've given will surely come and they will lose their hard earned money for that.

Newbies do not really have the necessary skills to select a price that can be achievable in order to sell when their goal is reached, besides something that happens a lot is that when their goal is reached newbies have the tendency to want to keep holding because they get greedy and they want to earn even more profits in the process and then when they least expect it the price begins to crash and any profits they may have are erased relatively quickly and instead of having some profits now they have losses.

Daily trading and long-term trading will both have advantages if you master a good strategy in doing these two things. profits in daily trading, in my opinion can make someone able to earn income every day by utilizing market volatility, and in my opinion with daily trading you can minimize the risk because every day looking at market conditions, therefore daily trading requires more time than long-term trading . You can also benefit from long-term trading if when you buy a coin at a low price and in the future the price of that coin soars. but long-term trading is more risky in my opinion, because we do not see the state of the market every time, and if the coins we hold are experiencing a continuous decline, then we will automatically experience a very large loss.

It really depends on your criteria for buying assets or cryptos, and a little bit of luck. If you're looking to make a quick buck, then short-term trading will best your best bet. If you're looking to have enough when you retire, long-term trading is your best friend. Long-term trading is so successful because it lies in the fundamentals that our inflationary economy/fiat money will ensure that the assets market will always rebound even if it takes years to get through a recovery.

Yeah, it will always depends on the person as we do have different activities in life, so for me, learning trading should not just because most people are doing this and they are earning from it especially those who are trading on daily basis, so for me, we should not just rely our reason because of other people, but because we choose it as we want to learn from it as it won't make it easy if we will just do it because of other people.

For me long term trading as it less time consuming and you don’t have to watch the live market all day everyday.

try to learn every altcoin on the exchange that you use, if you daily traders can certainly maximize their moment of fluctuation, the connotation for daily trading is to look for a small tiered profit, but it will drain your concentration. The long term is a different condition, and you will be calmer when the coins you buy are in a downtrend, which must be understood is the correlation between weekly and monthly charts and you can enter orders up to 100%

Both of them all have one common goal, and the goal is either to make the investor loose or to make the investor win, so it depend on the strategy that the person is using to know if he will gain or lose, and sometimes, it is better to actually be a master of one than to go fully for both, because of you are trading on both, you must have a diverted attention, and will make you to lose concentration on one.

If you look at day trading, it requires constantly monitoring your trade and at any slight mistake you make in removing your focus before the trading time is over, it could make you lose some, and if you are in long term trading, you will need to also be monitoring those ones too from time to time, although not as much as day trading so that you don't miss the opportunity that may come from the rise of one particular coin.

Totally a matter of personal preference. If someone is a bit lazy but clever one, he should go with long term trading. That will save him the trouble of checking the changing prices every other moment. However, his holding must be a potential one like bitcoin so that his wait will not become a waste eventually. Short term trading is the better one and hectic one too. Within short time, trader can earn more.

if you see that the market is currently not excited so you will find it hard to get daily trading profits, I recommend at least weekly, it makes more sense to wait for price movements in trading is weekly not every day, I think you can start to trade now and take your every mistake as your experience

I prefer to invest in short term because this is the way that usually helps me to make profit in a short time and does not need to spend too much time waiting. Each person will have different ways of making money but short term investment should be encouraged during this time to ensure your safety. I think long-term investment will be more risky and market volatility will often make you lose a lot if not careful.

Short term trading can be really exciting, but it carries a lot of risks when compared to long term holding. It's your choice, and short term trade requires a lot of paperwork and most people can't do that. There are people who prefer the long term holding because they wouldn't have to stress themselves a lot and also they will be able to reduce tax rates. Long term holding will benefit you more when there Is a bull run, but apart from that, short term trade has potential for big gains.

There is no right one to choose, it all depends on you. If you can take the heavy risks that are involved in day trading, then you can go ahead with it, at least you can make lots of profit (and lose money as well when you put the wrong choice). Long term holding doesn't have much work, so make your choice , but do your research first.

I agree with your opinion, making a long trade on the coins or tokens from the IEO is feared that the project will not develop which will affect the coin or token.  I think trading for the long term is suitable for coins that have existed for at least the past 5 years or are ranked in the top 50 of the CMC.

IEOs are not meant to present us a way for long term investments. They are just temporary benefits if at all. Most of the times they do not even work. At present, these projects actually are not trusted due to the problem of scam that market is facing. The number of such frauds is also increasing. The most working way is to invest in bitcoin or any top altcoin and then either trade in it or just hold for long.

Day Trading VS Long Term Trading has been debatable issue among traders, every traders has their own benefits of trading, some of pro and cons of day trading and long term trading.

1.Long term trading has benefit of less brokerage charges and large profit till your trade goes in right direction.
2.Long term trading has less mental stress as long term traders do limited trades and remain peaceful.
3.Long term trading avoid any wrong decision during sudden news, long term traders do  not panic during adverse situation.

1.Day trading has its benefits also, as day traders think keep whatever they get at the end of day.
2.Day trading has multiple trades which leads to extra brokerage reducing the profit.
3.Day traders also think they feel relaxed as there is not holding for next day so every day is new day.
4.Day traders have to exit their positions at end of day which may be profit or loss.

You can earn more if you are a short term trader but you can lose more as well, short term trading is by far the most difficult way to trade and yet it is the most popular amongst newbies and that is definitely a problem, it is better in this market to start your journey in a slow way and only try long term trades and you can change this once you have corroborated you can be successful, but very few try this approach and eventually suffer the consequences of not doing so.

In my opinion, short term trading is less risky than long term trading because in fact, if you know exactly what is happening with the market, you will greatly reduce the big risks. I think long term investments usually don't have a specific time and we are always in a state of anxiety so this year not many investors are making a profit this way. If you know how to analyze the market and come up with a good strategy, it will be very easy for you to make profit because the bear market is help us to buy a lot of cheap coins.

someone who believes in future market price growth, of course, he would rather decide to hold it in the long run. although there are some of them who decide to be able to make small profits every day from short-term trading and of course they must be willing to spend a lot of time to avoid losses because they must always monitor market price movements to get profits every day.

Short term trading needs also more expertise in trading and demands higher risks because if you trade with the wrong time, you will only lose your money in just a sudden. While long term trading has less risks and is stress free because you will still get profits just by sitting in your chair waiting for your coins to increase its price. No need to monitor daily the price charts just like what a short term trader should do.

Long-term trading is like gambling for me.
we don't know accurate predictions.
maybe it's just guessing or reading a chart. many people recommend it but I think it's very difficult.

If its a bear market, dont expect the price to change a lot in a day or price will not move enough that could give you profits thats why day trading is not advisable on this kind of market condition. Long hold and patience is what you need. Dont listen  to those who give out signals, they are just helping themselves and not the others as they already bought ahead of you before they made an announcement.

Many underestimate the risk of being a short term trader but even more important they do not really understand how time consuming it may be, I tried day trading in the past and while I got some small profits it was incredibly tiring, I already have a job so I only traded during my free time and it was too stressful as well, but long term trading offers great profits and it is something that I can do in a matter of minutes and it does not affect at all the rest of my daily activities.

Whether it is bearish or bullish there won't be big change experienced which is the reality. There will be continued fluctuation out of the market. Long term profiting will be for users who wants their investments to be secure and doesn't want to take risk. Daily trading has got risk, but if we try we can somehow have a better understanding about the market and gain regularly.

It is pretty simple, short term trading are for those people who have a lot of time for trading and also for people who are willing to watch the market every moment and long term trading are for people who are ready to wait for a long time to make profit. Yes short term trade require someone a good understanding and market analysis so i would not consider it good for newbies. When i first enter trading i also choose long term because it is less work than short term and does not require a deep understanding.

Actually all activity depend your decision, you want grow your capital or profit. The different between those strategy only time but become amazing and ridiculous when handle by people who doesn't have knowledge and enough fund. The best how to learn those strategy is in the field ( market ). Try your best, make a journal and fix your mistakes.

If we talking about altcoins i think its much better to trade it in short term because we all know that altcoin is not really sure if the price is goes up or become dead coins. So in altcoins better to be trade in short term. But some altcoins like ether, xrp and more are good to be a long term trading. Those coins have good potentials to hold in long term.

There is great quote about HODL and day trading.
Rest is your choice.

Yes, you are right, we are the master of our decision, so no matter what we do with our fund if we will use it wisely and maximize it then we can have profit. Although for me day trading is much better as there is no assurance in holding for long term, so I prefer what can make me profit in short term even not too much rather than panicking always when the price is dropping.

If anything the opposite is true, if you bought bitcoin at any time except during December of 2017 then most likely you have profits, that should give you an idea of how profitable it is to hold your coins for the long term but when it comes to short term trading there is not such guarantee, the price moves in unpredictable ways and very few people have the necessary self-control to not sell their coins for a loss when the market does not do what they want.

I agree with you. Most of the signals at Telegram are not reliable and will only make you more losses if not careful. I think we should take the time to add more knowledge about trading because this is the knowledge necessary to survive in the bear market. I often analyze  before making investment decisions, so I avoid a lot of unnecessary risks and always set stop lose to prevent the worst situation.

daily trading might be safer because we might be more vigilant if we see a sign that dump prices are coming. I think now daily trading is more profitable. the cycle is that we are better off making small but sustainable profits than big profits but only once

There are a lot of traders who want to earn profit daily, and I think it was not profitable because if your goal is to make more money every day. It was not enough because the value is just changing a little bit of amount than the long term trading. It has a massive difference in the exchange of money. Common mistakes of the newbie trader are always aiming for the daily profit, but that was not much profitable, unlike in the long term. In the long run, it takes the time that the coins reach the highest price but worth it then daily.

Depending on the preferences of the investor but I think long-term investment should be considered more because the market in the past few days is very bad and makes investors worried. In fact, day trading is very good for your profits but without good knowledge you will lose a lot because the recent volatility of the market is making investors psychology very easy to panic. The best advice is to choose only long-term investments in some coins like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

The best way to learn the both of it ( long term and daily trade) is to do some research about it first, so in that way we will become familiarize in everything and we can choose between both of it. Long term hodling is good but it takes too much courage and too risky for us, while daily trading is less risky yet need fast hand in trading. Instant return of profit is in daily trade but there is more chance of having a greater income in long trade.

From my sad experience, I can say that Long positions are much more convenient both in terms of risks and in their enviable predictability compared to short positions, which are much larger.
Opening a long position is easier to track and suggest the onset of adjustment that allows you to set more accurate stop loss, and this directly leads to a decrease in your losses.

I partially agree that the long position is better and much more convenient because if you don't have enough knowledge to do trading then you can stick with long position trading and slowly learn the depth of cryptocurrency trading. It will take time but as you learn and also implement it to your trading strategy, you will realize that it is more profitable to do daily trading.

It seems some people have the mistaken idea that you do not really need a lot of knowledge if what you want to do is to buy bitcoin and hold it for a long time, but that is not true, a person that doesn't really know anything about bitcoin or long term investing is going to be unable to hold his coins if the market begins to go down, so the old advice that says that you should not invest in something that you do not understand keeps holding true.

Its all about your priority if you are in part time its better t go with long run and if you take it full time then day trading is best.You will learn alot from market n daily basis and even you got small profit but it worth.

Trading is all about learning first you learn and then earn,Must have patience and money management skills.

In trading, there is intra-day(daily trading) and swing (Long term trading) and both of them seem profitable, depending on what strategy that works for you. It is oftentimes advised, that a trader should have a working trading system that should be able to maximize its profits and minimize its losses.
The difference here, is that on a daily trade, you hold positions within a 24hrs period, while on a long term trading, you hold positions within stipulated periods more than a day.

Absolutely. It actually depends on your time management, If you don't have job to do then might as well go with full time trading or day trading but ready your tools like computer/laptop, smartphone and most importantly the capital you'll need. But keep in mind that day trading contains a lot of risk than long term trading or holding since it needs more time requirement and is adept towards the market.

Or you can learn while trading already, you can try trading in a very small capital. Or try to find trading platform that offers a demo account on which you will be given a playable amount to begin trading, more of like a trial one.

Yes to start trading we should first limit our amount as in needs to spend more than your affordable amount. You should take start with small amount and try long term trading. The more you will spend time in trading it will polish your trading skills. Time will make things good so just be patient to hold your amount and trade profitably for long term.

Before trying to trade the long timeframes, having a demo trading experience is essential for gaining the required experience. The market understanding alone is not going to increase the market profitability without trading skills, knowledge, money management. The entrance requirement is the money management, if the trader can't calculate the potential risk in case of trade hits stop-loss, then going back to the babypips school is needed.

I think long term trading could be sometimes more profitable and a bit risky compared to the daily trading. I think day trading requires you to be always online and being concentrated the whole day in the market, if you're lucky and predict well, how's the market move, you'll obviously get a high profit from that otherwise long term trading is good if you believe that there is some coins will increase in the value in a long term period, it's less risky but also it's not guaranteed at all.

If you are trying to invest all of your coins it is better to go for the long term because if you are trading every time you are just earning a small amount of money, and the price are still the same but if you are trying to trade on long term there's a massive difference on it the price of the coon is different from the previous months or year. That's why the long time is more profitable than daily or short trading.

I heard somewhere from some wise man that holding and savings are done by people who do not have skills and only rely on interest.

While I deeply respect investors and people who hold but this line struck in my mind and I hardly hold these days, I mean I do not sell and buy fiat but what I try doing is instead of letting my bitcoins sit idle in the wallet I keep doing something like I buy alts when I feel there is a good one, I feel like price is going to drop, I buy USDT and once it drops I buy BTC with it.

What happens I have learned when I do this is that, I am not just increasing my actual money but also learning a lot about market, various alts and market knowledge so if you ask me - always trade and learn!

While saving your money is not going to give you huge profits especially since the interest rates are so low at the same time if someone has any savings then that person is already in better shape than 90% of the population of the world, then the amount of those people that invest is even lower so while you may look down on those people remember that we are part of a new generation that thinks differently about our money and I am not going to let my money sit idle when I can put it to work for me.

actually trading last year and now is very different. if you know about trading before 2017 it will be safe if it is better to choose the long term or as a holder. but for now, I personally choose the short term when there is an opportunity to take a profit. considering it is rather difficult to get a profit with a percentage that is far away. then prepare your capital when the is price go down

good strategy . short term is now verry indemand this year because people were used to the small fluctuations that crypto brings  .

 the value goes down and recover a bit and then it goes down again , this why short term is the best thing to do but if we notice that the market changed , and it does not fluctuate more often , i guess that was the right time to switch strategies  ( from short to long term ) .

I agree your opinion every trade must have a risk, if we talk about Long Term VS Daily Trading it will be very different, daily traders are suitable for those who do not have other jobs, so they can see price movements at any time. while the long-term trader he can be free to do other work, in the sense he can see market movements whenever he wants. but in terms of risk it must be the same.

It depends on the kind of trader that you are, if you are a day trader then the overall market conditions do not really matter that much, your profits will be very similar regardless of the market conditions, but if you are a swing trader then the conditions of the market affect you greatly because if the price of bitcoin does not go up at least for a few days then it is going to be impossible for you to obtain profits, and the ones that are affected the most are those that are long term traders or investors because they are the ones that hold their coins the longest.

Long-term charts always have a recurring trend when several support lines are formed, but the profit rate cannot be measured 100% and takes a long time, traders like this always use bigger funds. Much different from daily traders, in floating conditions, traders can still look for a daily profit of 3% because the capital is divided into several coins, profit and loss calculations can still be estimated in a few days.

It is really depends on the trader, you cannot say that day trade is more good than long term trader or vice versa. For those have full time job, for them long term investment is good for them because they do not need to monitor always the price of the coin because of their schedule. I'm a day trader but still I do not say that it is more good than long term trade because we have different kind of mindset, strategies and personalities.

Yeah long term traders are must be holding much fund so they impossible to buy low volume tokens or coins. I think they're just focusing on top 20 coins in terms of volume but with great potential to grow also. So it won't make us regret if we choosed a big volume coin for an investment.

In my opinion, short-term trade or long-term trade would be better have to get a better experience about all of them then you can be profited from all places Most people trade short term so that it can be profitable immediately On the other side, the number of losses is even greater if you have to take a lot of risk in a short time.

Long-term trading looks easier because we do not need to monitor it every day and can sell at any time when the price has reached the desired target, but it will be difficult when the targeted price does not arrive, here our patience is tested. Whereas for daily trading it is more troublesome because every day must monitor price movements because that day must also make a profit, determining hours to take profits quickly is very necessary, because if we let our guard down a little, then precious moments will disappear and must wait for the next opportunity.

I think Daily Trading is good because you can make some profit every day by trading Daily. You will benefit a lot. If you are trading long term it should be kept on hold. And if you trade daily, you will get some profit every day. You can make small trades to do daily wiring.

How is daily trading a good thing?

I mean it is great for some but I don't think it is a great thing all in all. Just imagine making a trade every day following the most volatile price in the industry. I don't recommend daily trading or day to day trading, I am not siding with the long term since you don't know what will happen so it is better to be alert and be vigilant, just keep on looking for the movements on the price chart.

You say as it seems easy to make profits on daily trading, when in fact, it is quite difficult even for now bitcoin situation sideways. but maybe it's different from the experts, I only earn 5-10% in a few days. long term is good for big profits.

I would suggest the same. There are only few whales who can predict the correct movement of the bitcoin price chart and those guys would never share publicly because they control the market they would never want anyone to know what's going to happen because that's how they make profits. Still, yes investment or say holding is the safest option because you are not hurried into selling and not shaken by a sudden price drop.

Most of the groups on telegram that seem to predict price are nothing but pure guesses and some basic market knowledge because I have been part of many such groups and they hardly work.

This platform is not about promotion of IEO/ICO alone, there are wealth of knowledge here. But if its come to learning trading,  you can't learn it here. Rather, you will be getting both positive and negative views/experiences of both traders and non traders.
In order to learn trading,  I will surget you to make professional research on offline and online trading courses.
Moreover,  short term trading can be liking to day trading while Long term trading is liking to HODL

Most signal groups are scammers so no one should not trust them.
They created those groups for their own gain.
I followed few of them before, but i couldn't get the right timing.
They are the ones who are actually benefitting from those groups.

So doing your own trading is sometimes less headache.
Daily trading may give you small profit but in the long run, if you will combine all those profits, the amount is significant also.

There are still people who are dumb because they keep believing in trading signal groups. Those are greedy persons who are really pressured to make money. It is better if we will decide on our own than to believe to the opinions from trading signal. It is your money and they do not have any liabilities if you lose in trading. You can protect your money if you will not follow or join in trading signal groups.

Day trading is not easy, I'm a day trader and I having tough time in analyzing and monitoring the coin that I trade due to its volatility. But for me it is the fun part because it was a challenging to me. I do not like long term trade because that strategy is not effective to me and waiting for a long time is a boring for me so day trading is more suitable in my personality.

You're right about cryptos turning into unworthy holding after while if the ones being held aren't cryptos with concrete projects or utility. I have been hodling some good coins which are looking worthless now (Walton is an example) with price crazily below my purchase level. Truth be told 2-4 years holding of a coin doesn't guaranty any profitability in this industry. If you've been long in this business you will understand what I just said.

profitable depends on how you trade or invest , successful trading is about managing risks either in shot term and long term trading, do which suits you and depends on how much time and money you have

Even trading in stock market, buying and selling of cars, properties, they are all need required take risk, no assurance at all, so we can't really say that we can earn from them, unless we tried it right. Trading is not that easy, as you need to become expert or familiarize trading so you will know the thinking or the mindset of some traders, so a lot of experience will be really needed.

Right knowledge and correct path to partake are very important before we take the actual risk investing out our money and time. There's no assurance but it will lessen your chance to lose your investment if you know what pattern to follow and what skills to use in order to find your advantages. Everything is about how will you deal and how will you exceed to your limitations in order to gain success.

I never said that one style of trading is better than the other it is up to each person to decide which style fits them better, you say that you are a day trader, good for you, but I don't like to day trade I do not like the idea of being in front of the screen all day just to see if I can make some money, I prefer to be a long term trader but that is what it works for me and it is not going to be the same for everyone, as long as you can obtain consistent profits then whatever method that you choose to trade is fine.

The topic is subjective after all, there are people who are good in day trading and there are people who are good in long term trading. A trader should choose between the two; in where they will make more profit. Like what you said, you are good in long term trading and it because your skills are suitable to it. If we will push a day trader to trade long term of course they will lose money because the strategy is not good to for them.

Daily trading is really difficult, you can not always be profitable when trading daily because this market is always moving unexpectedly. If you want to be profitable, you must have a lot of free time to follow this market, and in addition you must have a lot of trading experience to handle quickly. I have tried trading but to be honest it is too hard and takes too much time and mind. It is best to hold and wait for this market, You will have more free time and do other things

This is the first time I heard about long-term trading as trading word always refers to short term in my opinion. If you mention about I think the word "Hold" makes more sense. Investment , especially in crypto market is extremely risky because of its low liquidity, therefore, I usually choose good project I think to hold for a long-term. In addition, I do believe that holding is more profitable than trading. 

If you are still a fan of trading but you are too stressed out from daily trading then you should try other form of trading such as a position trader. There is a lot of type of trading and we should not stick to one style of trading since we cannot make a custom style of trading that will fit in our criteria and also to our schedule in our daily life.

I will always advise anyone to go for a long term trading. Long term trading is what we all call HODL (an abbreviation for - Hold on for dear life). When it comes to Hodl, what you do is to invest your money and then you wait for a long time, probably months for the price to go up. When it goes up you can then sell it for the current price and make a profit.

Before you go for a long term investment it's best that you do a proper research and invest at the right time when the price is low and after you have invested you can then wait for the price to go up. If you're lucky you might invest and within a week the bull run will start and you make a profit within a short term.

Long term trading is basically buying an asset holding it, for me its not really trading but an investment, its really up to you when to cash out. In here we call those type of people HODLERS.
Short term is immediately selling once you've gained profit or put necessary stop loss once the price dump. Day traders are usually like that they speculate the market with TA then immediately buys or sell depending, if there's a big move coming either to the downside or upside.

I think Daily Trading is more convenient. Because trading daily can make some profit. But if trading long term, you will have to wait a long time to make a profit. So Daily Trading is much better than waiting. I do some trading every day. And trading daily will increase the experience. But Trading too many times a day can cause a lot of losing money. So you have to be careful trading daily.

Thank you

I think it is much better to wait for your profit than Having no profit but only lose as day trading is having so much risk so we will have to face the risk and it needs so much knowledge as well. So I prefer long term trading because i am new and don’t have enough knowledge at the same time I am having regular job and day trading needs whole day internet connection that I cannot afford so I simple trade for long term.

if capital and strategy can be connected to each other consistently, 5% daily target can be easily achieved manually, but daily trading also erodes a lot of emotion if the price drops unexpectedly.

anxiety will double because it only focuses on hourly charts and even lower. the advantage of having direct experience as you wrote is very true, I personally can also communicate directly with fellow traders to determine what can be done next.

During the time that the ICO and IEO has been not so much successful, many investors were tired of investing anymore, so most of them quit cryptocurrency, rested and some begun to do day trading and for them this is much safer, as you are the one controlling your fund and you are not relying with other people.

Day trading actually look simple, but need skill and good analysis and maybe a lot of practice to do it with good. Because behind of that profit, people who do daily trading must look the coin, decide in what price to buy and anything else to make them pick profitable coin. And for some people, it is hard to do. I think daily or long term as long you really good at it, both can be very profitable.

I agree, i myself rest for a year and do swing and day trading since its much profitable and you can earn profit within the day without waiting for a long time.

And ICO and IEO are not really good for making a profit since the value is less than when you boughit after it get listed and need to wait for a long time just to sell it when it hits more than campaign price.

We know that there are many traders who always get profit in any place they invest and do trade, the reason is that they spend time with those assets in which they invest and they know all the factors of getting profit from that assets. That type of trade we have to start. If we will spend time with crypto coins and will invest in those coins about which we will know from the start and each and every aspect of that coins then we will not lose.

Which is as it should be, at the beginning everyone should begin as a long term trader then as you gain experience, knowledge and even more importantly a lot of money then you can become a day trader, but that transition should take a long time and yet that is not what we see, newbies excited over the profits that they can get want to become day traders almost immediately not understanding the risks and the huge levels of stress that they have to endure and they lose whatever capital they had in a matter of months

Short term trading required much information and data to make the right decision and strict rules to gain profit or cut loss, it can be more profitable than long-term. However, due to numerous factors affect the market and intense competition among traders, the right time is crucial. On the other side, long-term trading is less-risk and pretty good to earn profits, just buy bitcoin and some famous altcoins, wait a month or two, then cash out when you feel the price hit the peak or it will drop soon.

agree with you. long term is good choice and can make profit because cryptocurrency is best invesment  but it will different if you are full time trader, maybe as a full time trader choose short term or daily trading is also  good because full time trader need to buy their daily needs. so for me as a full time trader and investor i choose both

Indeed. Short term trading requires experienced and right decision making than long term trading, that is why long term trading will be a good choice because it is less risk and i don't need to put a lot of time and pressure to myself. Even long term trading will be slower for me to earn profit, it will still be safe if i just hodl it until it is the right time to sell it.

If you have enough money you can go into long term investment. For this reason i think you can choose 3/4 coins from CMC top 10. But for daily trading you have to keep your eyes into market every moment. Primarily you have to target 5/6 altcoins for day trading and follow them atleast 7-15 days and also follow their roadmap and then reach your goal. I think you will be benefited.

Well it is still depends on how much the person willing to wait as there are other coins wherein you will in need to wait for a year, so ask yourself first, what do you want or what you prefer, are you okay with holding it for short term only or for long term only, and better to seek advise from the experts.

Long term wait duration cannot be defined. The way altcoins and bitcoin price are moving, dumping most of the times, maybe you can say that hold the coins for 2 years and then you may get 5-10x return and that too after the bull run.

You're right. In order to make money on trading, it is necessary to devote a huge amount of time to this occupation, and refers to it as a full-fledged job.
However, if you decide on this, then it is best to start with day trading, because in long-term trading you will gain experience very slowly.

Both type of investments i.e. long term and short term have their own requirements and perks. Short term or day trading is something that is considered hectic by most of the traders as you mentioned; we have to keep track of altcoins all the time for at least 2 weeks consecutively in order not to miss any chance of making profits. Long term is damn easy because there you can leave coins for months.

If people do make money and reach the levels as per their expectation or goals, then they can sell it. Also another thing is that one can diversify money in 2 parts so that certain amount could be invested for long term and other can be used for daily trading as well.

short time is simply harder and more rewarding.. that simple. if you go longterm you will be missing some opportunities but you have 0 energy wasted on maintaining your positions. if you trade daily you got to work much more with the charts but you will considerably increase volume of your trades as well as end profit.

Neither are better. Both have different profitability margins and different risk management.

To begin, long-term trading is slower-paced and doesn't require quick reflexes, which can be a problem for newbies. It also doesn't require you to look at charts for a long time. Because of it, it is a less risky strategy, however, potential profits are lower as well. It's recommended for newbies.

Short-term trading is faster-paced and sometimes the reaction time can go as low as 1 minute. You might believe it's still easy, but in reality, it's easier said than done. It also requires holding attention on charts for a long time. It is a more risky strategy and potential profits are bigger as well. However, due to intense emotions caused by the speed, it is recommended only for very experienced traders.

I would say that in trading psychology is 10%, knowledge 10%, experience 10%, skill 10% and luck 60%. Now the luck has most percentage points connected to, because even most skillful traders sometimes do lose money in trading.

I recommend TradingView's (http://tradingview.com) paper money feature. However, it lacks emotions of risking real money. Use it before risking a small amount of BTC. Maybe go as low as 0.01 BTC.

Never never forget that you shouldn't ever invest or trade more money than you can afford to lose. Think about your trading money as a write-off with possible bonus if you are lucky.

my advice, focus on long-term trading is the best thing. it can make a bigger profit. it's just that, if you want to do daily trading, it doesn't matter, just don't use excessive assets. so far, I have chosen to hold assets rather than trade every day. even though it looks frustrating, but it is very difficult and risky, especially if you are addicted.

I highly agreed, and i think that holding for a long term does not give you a benefits of making a profit since you are just holding and not making any trade at all. And it would be better to do day and swing trade since it gives you a profit that a longtime holding cannot give.

And this is a mistake that i have done before in which i hold it for a very long time. That's why we need to improve ourselves in terms of making a profit easily.

The long Term is okay I guess, but if you can, because it can only be from extra money.
And of course these people can't do that with limited resources

Well, it’s all about the trader but I think instead of making trading as a single way of earning we should use it as an additional way to make money so we will be able to earn more money from trading. If you think that you are expert enough to make money from day trading then you can start day trading but for new traders long term trading is suitable.

If someone want to do their trading as additional to their other profession then better option for them is long term trading because if someone will do day trade then he will need to spend a longer time of the day waiting for the coins going up and down. I have experience in day trade that is why I know that if you will not spend the whole day then you will miss a number of opportunities in your trade.

It is usually difficult to give verdict that which type of trading is the best one because both types have long number of supporters and there is a large portion of traders who are involved in both types of trading at the same time. So this true to say that both have their own charms and we cannot give one type edge over to another. But I like long term because I don’t have to work hard here.

You are saying long term trade is just ok? Well it is more okay than daily trading. Daily trading requires you to be more focused and understand the market for that specific time. The trades on an exchange has a specific trade patterns everyday. Once you get to understand those patters, you will be making some good profit. But keep on making mistakes, you will suffer loss. Long term trading is more safe in my opinion.
"Limited resource" is a vague term. You can start trading even if you have few bucks with you.

Deciding to become a full time trader is not a decision that should be taken lightly, many times I see people asking if they can become a full time traders but that is not how that works, at first you need to begin as a part time trader and only once you have proven to yourself that you can make money in the markets then you can consider to take the option of becoming a full time trader, if you do not do it that way and you decide to trade full time before being ready you could lose all your money in the markets while being unemployed as well which is a terrible combination.

It depends on what you invested in. If you hold on to a sh*t coin, after 5 years do think that coins is still tradeable? I have seen sh*t coins being delisted in exchange sites months after months, and imagine those who thought holding on to it for 5 years and get back to it thinking that it multiplied in 10 folds finding out that their coins does not exist anymore. Go for those that are among the top 5 in CMC and always look for updates if you plan for long term.

I think this depends on how much you could earn.

I mean if you are willing to earn a lot of money, you can wait. The price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are so hard to determine that is why we don't know how will it go, it may go up or it may go down. We should not ask experts what should we do, we should ask ourselves how much profit should we look at before selling our investment.

   Here comes the question to take the profit when ever you can, or to wait longer for the higher possible profit. There are no
guarantees that one day we will have an opportunity to collect huge profit from coins we invested. I decided to wait! It's risky,
like everything else is, I am aware of it, but instead collecting some little profit here and there I wish a chance to have higher
profit at once. As it sounds, it all depends on us and our views what is better.

Now people are understanding which coins to hold because every 6 month exchange are deleting the shit coins and it is not a good idea to hold those coins, it will not help us to make any profits from holding those coins. So we should always choose them wisely and it will help us to make a decent profit in the long term.

A proper research and a patient attitude will be your key towards success in long term holding or trading. Choosing coins should be indeed undergo in a wise way because if you will become lazy and greedy in searching for a coin then you will definitely lose a lot of money along the way. You should also consider having a decent cold wallet so you can really make sure that you are safe.

We all should trade for long term because  it is safe and it feels good when you do nothing but only wait for your investment to increase. I like to trade for long term because in long term trading we get more chances to learn trading and it is more reliable than short term trading. Waiting gives good reward to traders but if you have good knowledge you can trade for day as well.

Who said that long term is safe? There's not assurance or guarantee that holding in long term is safe, so we should not tell this to people, we should just trade and risk at our own, there's a lot of altcoins out there who are not worth holding at long term because they are just good at first year,but once they are already satisfied with their money raised, they will forget about the price.

You are really right, because any activity in the cryptocurrency market carries a certain risk and this risk increases due to the situation on the market.  In my understanding, very often I compare short-term investments with long-term trading, which is why I think that trading and short-term investments have a better chance of winning, because you practically constantly control your assets in order to find out on time based on the current situation in the cryptocurrency market.  A long-term investment requires a very large hug from the outset in order to determine a profitable project and promising coins in the future, in order to orient in time and sell your coins in order to get a good income.  But since the situation on the cryptocurrency market is very bad, therefore some coins become irrelevant and over time the portfolio can become very cheaper.

Probably this is why people are really into long term trading especially the ones who have days jobs because here we don’t have to put as much efforts as we are required to do in short term or day trading. I am myself involved in long term trading with ethereum and bitcoin. I don’t rely on any other altcoin because usually they turn out to be scams. Day trading is full of risks for me.

There are so many people or more accurately traders who always are of view that both short term and long term trading have their own pros and cons and you cannot simply give one complete preference over another. One thing has to be mentioned here that both trading have their own suitable or defined crypto currencies which shall be used to achieve the goals. This is a height of stupidity to use altcoins for long term trading.

I also like long term trading because it gives income the same as other trading but helps to avoid lose for sudden price change. Better trade for the long term as it’s an additional source of earning and it is should be done with care as well so both reasons are enough to choose long term trading. Actually I personally feel safe with long term trading.

I am not much a fan of long term trading in crypto. See, if you're going for profit in cryptos with least risk possible swing trades are the best option where you trade till one short term wave ends. In long term, your investment will go through many manipulation and uncertainty which isn't really healthy in case of cryptos. Also, earning greater percentage isn't that tough in case of crypto, so I don't really see a use of long term trade in crypros.

I prefer swing and day trades over long term.

Long term trades are good for people who prefers less risk and almost like an investing type of strategy. Long term can pay out well just look at the price histories of bitcoin and ethereum, they are dirt cheap a few years ago and then now, they cost a lot of money. That is long term and the lesson here is, find the cryptocurrencies that have a good potential despite the manipulation and etc. in the market.

alright. long term ussually used by investor and  trader prefer to short term. in my opinion it just needed by each person. when they are need to daily life so they are choose to short term but when they want to save their money in crypto will choose long term. the both has high risk to me

Yes for me as well it is really good to trade for the long term because of the volatile market and I can get some better opportunity to sell my coins at a high price. People often choose day trading its all their own choice I am not saying they are wrong but long term trading reduces the risk of sudden market fall and you can trade with your own will.

I think it would be better to spend more time in the market if you feel stressed by all the input that is difficult for you to receive, because with you spend more time in the market at least you will study every move that occurs and determine which way the candle will go with more strong and convincing. Because after all, the two ways of trading that you are interested in will produce a variety of benefits and certainly it will be for your benefit.

That is precisely the reason why I am a long term trader, it could be interesting to become a day trader but I have a job and I need to be extremely focused to be able to perform my job with my current standards, but long term trading does not interfere at all with my activities since you need only a few minutes each day to be able to tell if you are going to do something that day or not and that is a huge advantage for people like me, besides thanks to the volatility of bitcoin the profits are not that bad either.

Taking your time to study and do your research before doing anything will enhance your skills in picking the right position each time you deal inside the market. You are the one who are incharge in any decision making and if you are very keen then staying inside much longer will give you the hints that you are aiming to properly drive your trading position.

Wise point indeed. I'd even suggest using small amount of $ which are not last money you've got.
In this case you can freely analyze market, but not gambling.
Crypto insvestment is nothing more than a regular investment - you want to maximize profit with lowest risks, never forget this.

Well, I think you read too long and don't practice in the market, so it's better to look directly at the market. if you ask about the advantages and disadvantages of short-term, long-term trading, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. in this case, you might feel more profitable than short-term trading, but you will not feel the benefits. I prefer trading in the long run because you can feel the benefits. You can go directly to the market and try it for yourself. cheers.

If we really want to do trading then we should act now so that we can see what really good for us, is it day trading or long term holding, as we do have different priorities in life, some were here but they also have their full time job, so it will be hard for them to do day trading unless they are doing office job and their boss is not that strict as well as their job is not overload.

 Long term has the ability of "ease of mind" where you don't basically work for your money, you don't worry about what to do and how to do it and if there is a better way to do it or what you should research or if any new news could change the new thing you do etc etc etc. Day trading have the "possibility" of making more money, now don't get me wrong its not possible to make more money most of the time but at least it has that ability.

 So I prefer long term much better, its just easier for me and I don't have to do anything at all, just buy bitcoin and thats it, there is literally no step 2 in this process just step 1 where you buy bitcoin, I may end up not selling until I actually retire but I have a secret hope that maybe I won't even cash out than and just leave all my coins to my kids? That could be really awesome and could change their lives so much as well.

But the comfort from the long term will cause you to lose direction in the market, worse, your analytical skills and reading the market diagram will wear out over time when it is not used on a regular basis, only with these negative points, the long term will be a peaceful sea right from the start but after that, the waves and thunderstorms will come to you. Relaxation will make no effort, no effort will be no success, so I think we should choose day trading and not quite all day, choose nice market days to enter, look at the market and control the direction more, instead of abandoning it

Long term is very risky too, we dont know till when do we need to wait till the coin we are holding is still existing in the market, sometimes we just need to sell the coin we are holding if we feel that their support is no longer functioning and there are no updates for the progress of their project. We need to monitor it on order for us not to left behind if we want to long term hold.

Why would you long hold an unknown coin? for what reason? Lonf holding term is just for big cryptocurrencies such as ethereum, EOS, XRP and BTC. I'm not belittling the capabilities of altcoins, Indeed there are altcoins whose price is soaring but those are outnumbered by soon to be non-existent coins in the market. Long term hold is risky, given that info about it already tells you to pick wisely what coin would you hold.

As you are new u should go for long term trading in my opinion as it is much safer route but invest in good coin only. After you become comfortable then go for short trading as it requires patience ,time and decisive approach.

The decision should be yours to make, you shouldn’t let anyone tell you what to do. If you are interested in trading then you should do that. And as for those that are telling you that there are lots of risks in trading, well, they are saying the truth, there are lots of people who lose money in trading but there are still a few that makes a lot of money from trading and they are still human beings like you, if they can do it you can as well do it.

Long term Hodl/Investment, as they say, is very easy and there isn’t really much work to do in it, you just have to find the right cryptocurrency and invest in it for a long term.

Both ways of trading need effort and knowledge,But it all depend upon the priorities if you make enough time for trade and having knowledge and confident abut trading go with daily trade.If want to trade as part time then long term is better just need choose valuable coins with great future and sit back to wait best moment where maximize the profit.

Make sure selected different coins because just buying only one coin is risky and buying different coins minimize the risk of loss.

I don't think someone will be ready for daytrading if they only do a long-term trading. I mean, he may know the basic trading but will still need lot of experience and knowledge to be able to make profit in daytrading as everything is very confusing and time consuming.

Right, for all new traders it is good to trade for long term because I’m long term trader and I know how reliable it is for me. In trading, when you are new you can not make sudden good decision but you will have to make right decision that's why Better make long term trading and you will not get frustrated by market change as well.

Day trader can be very good especially profited shortly the very opposite is the problem As it is, if you buy a token or coin you will see that the price has gone up and when you sell, the price will rise in the next few hours One of the biggest adverse conditions is controlling yourself.

If you are talking about those coins which are not the top coins in the trade volume ranking or in marketcap then you are right anything can be the future of that coin while in case of bitcoin and other high potential coins which have a huge community or a solid business then long term trade is not an issue but in that investment it is sure in all ways that in the end we will get our profit. One more thing to be remembered that the expert traders always suggest to hold for longer only for those coins which have a high potential and are suggesting for bitcoin and ethereum etc.

The time is not right for long term traders as most of the alts are not having any support and with BTC fluctuations, its harder than ever to keep holding an alt. To do short term trading, you need allot of time and patience and should be attentive towards all the news thats come on to social media.

Agree. You need to decide on everything and to do this you need to have good knowledge related to the market. Most new investors will tend to choose more long-term investments because this is the simplest way to make a profit. However, it is not always profitable because the crypto market is very volatile and often turns red very quickly.

I have been staying in this market for a long time but my trading and investment experience is still very bad so I will still try to improve myself to be able to earn stable profits in the near future.

Well, according to your description, I think long-term trading would fit you the best. You can simply buy some coins from exchanges that allow doing it via debit/credit cards or wires (like CEX.IO (https://cex.io/), Coinbase or Kraken). And hold them for a while. When holding, you can freely research specifics of the crypto world, trading, investments. etc.

Then there is something wrong with your strategy of investing and trading. If your result is still bad then look at your past performances and check the strategies that you used so you can see if which is not working and that is how you can change your results. If you look at your mistakes and change it for the better then your experience will be now turned into a good one.

Yes, in trading maybe strategy of each person is different. Good for us maybe not good for the others. That is why each people really need to find strategy that suit for them. Like what you all said, maybe this maybe that and OP can try all our suggestion here and if he really like, he can use the strategy that he think really fit with him.

Even if you say there is no step 2 you recognize there is and that is knowing when to sell, right now the price of bitcoin is going up nicely, most likely many people are going to excited and try to see if this is the beginning of a larger trend so the question is should you keep your coins or sell? If you are a long term holder then you will keep holding but what if the price was 50k or 100k? Will you keep holding? My point is that your strategy seems to be incomplete since at some point you will need to sell some bitcoin and you better do it when it is at its highest point.

Both long term and daily trading could be beneficial .This is dependent upon the nature of the trader as well as t5he kind of experience that the person is having in this field. Trading is all about experience as well as the knowledge about this profession. This is not the case all the time that you will win.  Loss could be on your profit so you need to be ready all the time.

In my opinion, there is a very big difference. To make a profit from daytrading, you need to have a lot of knowledge and the greatest experience. When it comes to long-term investments, it's enough for someone to tell you one good shot. After buying, just wait and decide when to sell. I agree that both options can be profitable, but the experience must be quite different.

The necessary requirements to become successful as a day trader or as a long term trader are completely different, one of the most important characteristics of a long term trader is that he needs to be very patient because it can take months for him to obtain any profits and you need to think very carefully about each movement that you make otherwise you're going to lose money, but when it comes to day trading the most important characteristic is your ability to think fast and being able to take decisions in a matter of seconds.

I also agree with you that long term trading is indeed less profitable compared to swing trade or daily trade. Because of the long term trading
had to go through a variety of market manipulations carried out by whales, honestly this looks unhealthy to do. Especially long term trades
the profit generated will not be as many as daily trades that can generate profits almost every day. This is the reason why I don't choose long term
trading to use.

I also prefer short term trading for those who are actually not much experienced. Long term trading is not easy at all. You have to keep an eye on all the events regarding fluctuations in the price of the currency that you are currently investing into. Short term trading is not a way to earn big profits but yet it could serve as a source of earning money in a little time.

I know it’s low profit but its safe to trade for long term and you will lose almost nothing in case of any bad circumstance as you can hold and wait in red market then again trade at green. Daily trading has more profit but it needs expert trading skills and miner mistake will make you meet with lose. That’s why be safe and use long term trading its special advise for newbie.

But long-term trading will help make it less secure for less experienced investors. They may take longer to get profit, but they will not suffer a loss. Trading daily is very difficult for newbie and inexperienced people. They may lose money every day and it can make them hasty and continue to make the wrong investment decisions in the next days. I personally have seen a lot of people fail with trading daily and they turn to long-term hold

if the advice here makes you more worried to start trading, then what else are you looking for with lots of advice given? wouldn't it be better for you to trade immediately using money that you can eliminate so you know what risks you will at least get when trading, because of how you want to learn and become better if you are just afraid or worried about losing with many risks

yeah people who hold for long term is persons that not want take the risk for their fund, ussually people for this case who choice hold for long term only make the fund safe not lose more deeply. exactly people like this case hold for long term better than lose their fund today
indeed daily trade need more knowledge to do, you have to learn about the coins before you trade

And exactly how being a short term trader is going to protect you from the manipulations of the market? If anything you're going to be even more affected by them, if you are a short term trader you know what I'm talking about, it is not really weird for bitcoin to go up in price hundreds of dollars in a matter of minutes and unless you are watching the market right at that moment you're going to miss that movement and when you try to capture it then that movement is going to reverse and you are going to lose whatever capital that you invested.

Agree, we need to spend a lot of money in trading fee because if we don't make any profits we should hold it for the long term. Instead of entering a higher value it is better to grab them when the coin prices are very low in the market and it will surely help us to make some decent profit in the long term.

It is all true! When it comes to risk, long term holding is the best because your money is just stagnant and only price volatility is your enemy. Well, if you already feel contented on small profits by just waiting tirelessly then go ahead there's nothing wrong with it; but if you do such thing, never expect having larger chance of becoming a btc millionaire huh ;D.

Sometimes it is not bad to go outside our comfort zones. Just be careful and courageous and a fruitful victory awaits for you :).

It is better to know the risk beforehand.

Jus diving into the water without knowing the risk is dangerous. You don't know how to avoid it after diving in, and instead of you losing, you can immediately gather profit. Knowing the risk can really help, that also goes with a lot of investors and the trades that they've done in the past as a beginner. Losing is also good though since that can give you a good experience.

Long term holding is a popular way of making money in the bear market, but any investment is risky if you do not have good knowledge because this market is really harsh. I think by all means you have to ensure your current profit and always set a stop loss to avoid losing money when participating. Beside, when choosing long term investment, you need to make sure that investment does not affect your current life.

I usually only choose coins that are in the top 50 and limit investment of new coins because I know for sure that new coins usually only go up in a short amount of time.

We can’t say daily trading is not good because day trading is also good in this volatile market but to earn from daily trading its important to have time for it so you can explore market every hour and daily trading is fully safe as it does not have risk of lose with sudden market move. Trading is any person's own choice and for me both are profitable but I trade long term.

I prefer to adjust both, where long-term trading is savings that we can use if there is a really sudden need, and I agree if we cannot blame absolutely absolutely because that is how we process our assets and minimize mistakes. in trading. If between these two options there is harmony, I think we can all stay here, just how do we maximize the opportunities that exist.

dare to take risks that must be done by a trader, without the courage to take risks and fear of loss we cannot advance our trade, in conducting trade
namely the risk, for example, we can not profit that is the loss we will get, so for example we trade fear of loss, indeed we should not have to think about trading.

In day trading, with the aim of profit traders buy and sell different assets. As it is very short term so people usually do not have fear of losing with the dumps in the market, it gives you a small profit by the end of day. People who daily trade also need to have time to time update about it. If we talk about long term trading it gives bigger profits in long period of time. Both traders get benefit.

I am not much of a fan of long term trading in crypto. See, if you're going for profit in cryptos with least risk possible, swing trades are the best option where you trade till one short term wave ends. In long term, your investment will go through many manipulation and uncertainty which isn't really healthy in case of cryptos. Also, earning greater percentage isn't that tough in case of crypto, so I don't really see a use of long term trade in crypros.

There more risk in long term trading on investment, we cannot be sure that the coin we are holding will gonna be great for months or years that we are holding it, we just need to trust our instinct in order for us to sell it when that coin is soon to dump or getting a low price than you expected. Day trading is good, you need to monitor or very carefully and you need a fast hand on it.

This is not risk for me but it’s chance to get low price coins for profitable earning. I prefer long term trading because its safe and easy. When you hold for long term it gives you safety and surety that one day price will be high and you will be able to make more profit. Trading for day is good but risky if you are new as it needs allot of knowledge and market information to be successful in day trading.

No, long term holding is a popular way to deal with a bear market but it is not a way to make money, the only way to make money in a bear market is to short the market but many people do not have the experience to do it since many investors cannot even earn money during a bull run so they are not going to earn money in a bear market, the ones that earn in those circumstances are traders and while it is tempting to join them it is not as tempting when you learn that more than 90% of them lose money.

I cannot choose only between this two, because both are giving me a profit in the market. Because not all coins in crypto are design for long term vice versa with the day trading too, that's why we need to make a research about the coin we are going to buy in the market dude. But once We hold the right one coins, I can guarantee you that coins can give you a huge profit in the future.

With the right strategy we can always do what we wanted, we can always take profit depending on how we are aiming to do it! Doing day trading has a lot of more potential than long term, but still  you can earn thru long term, I do both of them too as I wanted to have more passive income, I want my money works for me.

Daily trading is more clearly profitable because our circulation of funds continues to revolve, but the ability and enough time to spend watching price action. and when the ability in daily trading is already proficient, long-term investment will be able to take place too. sometimes we really need both in investing, which certainly depends on the initial goal.

yeah trade for long term or called investment is very high risk, many people lose their value after hold one or two years because trend to down more often. its also happen to me, i lose my fund after i hold two years ago. i choice long term trading because i am not expert in daily trade. but really i get disappointed for this case, and till now there is no options  except to be patience

In terms of profitability, the long term investment worth to spend time and money but I doubt the time factor is considered as a variable in your calculation. The ROI wouldn't be the same in the nonvolatile market days and the unknown length of bear market will be a source of wasted time for the day trader. Investing is all about the right timing, the rest depends on the money management skills of the investor.

I think both type of trading’s are good. If you know the ways of daily earning adopt them and earn safely. If you have bad experience in short term trading go for the long term trading. This all depends on your aim, strategies and working. I am more of a realistic person so I usually do not believe in chance and luck. You are rewarded always for your struggle that is what I believe.

Trade for long term also gives long term benefits. Your big investment when price rises will surely give you a good benefit. Disappointment never let you succeed, it makes you dull and your performance ineffective. Always set back up plans for you, and remove the element of greed from your nature. Sometimes people in order to get a very huge amount lose their whole benefits. This is greed that keeps them going and in the end they are left with nothing. Do wish for benefits because this is what make people investors but be generous.

yes i mean, high risk and high profit in there. Incidentally, risk for me till now and maybe you alright that i have feel greef so much and it make me lose all many benefits chance. but honestly i am still hope the all coins that i hold can give benefit for me although must to be patience because need the longer time  to reach it.

This confidence and hope of you in this market is the symbol of cryptocurrency as the leading currency in present era. If talking about you it shows the qualities of good investors. You have lose but you still want to invest because you believe that crypto will give you long term benefits and what you lose was because of your greed. This quality of accepting your flaws and making correction in them would lead you to higher positions.

Yes fully agree with you mate both kinds of trading are good for us and we can earn from both but if you feel relaxed with long term trading then you should trade for the long term. Short term trading needs proper knowledge and skills but long term trading needs patience and experienced ways for good trading. Use your own strategies but I suggest all traders try long-term trading first.

Both of them are profitable for us but still it is important that we think that which one we have to adopt for ourselves as many people cannot achieve the skills which are required for the short term trade and many people are unable to achieve the skills for long term trade. Many of the traders start both type of trade but they fail to maintain both of them and lose their money because of the confusion in both of them.

Both forms of trading can be profitable and both forms can be also a way to lose your money, everything will depend on your skills as a trader and the only way to increase your level of skill is to study the markets and that is something that many people do not really want to do, they want to obtain easy profits and they do not want to make any effort and that kind of thinking is not going to allow you to get far especially in a market that is so highly competitive.
