There any good guides out there?  How to divide your investment, strategies to follow, etc.  Long term or short term?

There are tons to get your guides and tutorials out there. One of the medium I am fond of is watching Youtube videos. It actually depends on how many knowledges and lessons you've already learned in your life with regards to saving, investing, and trading. But as for me, I am fond of watching Cotton Candy's^[1] youtube channel as I see it very informative with regards to your matter and my interests.

If you are fond of reading books and stuffs, there are tons of writers which I don't really remember their Booktitles and their names as well. But be cautious, some 'analysts' and traders out there just wanted to take advantage of those who want to learn things from them, then they would require you to pay for various knowledge and soon might just make profit out of you.

Another not so unpopular opinion is joining various telegram channels that is active in trading and investments, which I don't really have for now. Some content creators about this matter do have their telegram channels, it's just your preference on whom would teach you the most.  ;D

Of course, it depends on what crypto you hold, because both the long and short term can be seen from the popularity of crypto in the market. if you have altcoins, of course it must be considered in the short term, because apart from following the hype and fomo in fact altcoins do not guarantee if it is for the long term (note that it depends on which altcoins you hold).

As for bitcoin, you should be able to manage trades with 10-25% of trades. for bitcoin the long term would be great.

Most of the time I just popular streaming services.
Why? It's easier to understand it that way than an eye itching long article that you may get bored reading.
So it might depend on how you prefer to absorb it.

What pairs are you trading?

Being a traders, you need to be skillful at most of the time. And besides, the only thing we can do here in crypto trading such as
follows scalping, day trading, and long term. But of course, all this depend in your hands of choice.  Just make sure the coins you choose to
hold whether it is for long or short term something like that only.

There are too many of them, I advise you to search on Youtube if you didn't want to read it from the article.  Videos are easy to understand rather than you were reading them in a long article, but sometimes most videos are having shortcuts and most likely not fully detailed, it might good if you take a look at both of them.

Just use a small amount in your money if you are a first-time trader, IMO, newcomers in the trading field will always encounter failures and it seems to be good if you have an amount that you can afford.

I usually browse on youtube to look for a guy that does his niche in investment and following how to divide it. There are many of them and you need to be patient looking one.

Being long or short depending on your goal, set your goals which you think suits your needs at what age you are.

I think what you are looking is about risk management on trading.
I can share what I recently found tutorials for traders, some of these are helpful, especially you are beginner and I also find the risk management topic or tutorial is quite useful and really explained well.
You can check here, some tutorials are in twitter thread or youtube videos: https://twitter.com/EmperorBTC/status/1292790838070620162

When it comes to guides then GOOGLE would be your friend.You would see lots of guides online and this is where you own understanding and decision
on which one you would gonna follow or would be ignored.

This forum itself does have lots of people who do give out their own speculation with corresponding chart showoffs which i do see to be helpful for those
people who do just recently start up on trading.Just make it sure that you wont really be falling in the hands of any FOMO or FUD thing.

Put some effort on making a little bit research.

There are a lot of guides on YouTube and the network, I think you can quite cope with a google search engine.
Short term or long term? It all depends on your goals. It is easiest to trade in the long term, there are less risks and less dependence on market volatility.
Understand what trading is and what it is eaten with, and you will have everything in place. There are enough topics on this topic on the forum.

Money should be the first resource that you should cover because it will be the lynchpin in your journey as a trader. Books that tackles cryptocurrency trading is worth a shot to read at because, you can find them online. Do not go for trading courses because the course providers do not have your best interest when you buy their program, look for free courses as much as possible but you need to be careful because some of them are counter to your process so take their words with a grain of salt.

I can vouch for this trading tutorial made by c0tt0nc4ndyTA. I even created a separate thread so that I can share his underrated trading tutorials.
