Holding or swing trading

[Pasa32]

Yes, scalping and day trading is too risky, I have tried many times and always lost money . Now I am just doing swing trading and holding some coins for long term. I think scalping is for those who has big experience and know some good strategies.
I suggest Newbies to avoid Scalping Or Day Trading. It is too risky.

I think better all in with trading and earn profit in daily day without have to hold for long term, I think $1000 salary using for trading is more enough reach about $50 until $100 profit in daily day, but not sure or guarantee you can take profit on daily day depending with bitcoin and altcoin price dump or pump how faster. I think looks as potential with daily trading if you have amount $1,000 and looks worth if try long term holding but you need patience and waiting because looking potential coin as long term holding is not easy with market price still not stable.

This is also good advice, but I will underline, if can manage swing trading well, it's fine. But if not? then it's better not to try, because I'm afraid that $1000 money will be forfeited.

TopT3ns is absolutely right, by using $1000 it is very easy to make a profit of $50 to $100 with swing trades, of course there is also a risk of losing $50 to $100 too.

It depends on how you can handle the risk before I do just holding my assets and let it take profit for me, but I try to learn with the use of trading indicators and technical analysis. This serves as a guide to me when is the best ideal time to buy in the market and keep holding and when to sell my assets and take profit.

If you can handle the risk and already decide to lose your money, make a good market decision; the higher the risk or create a safe play trade.

whether swing trading, or long trading and short trading, all have their own advantages and disadvantages. many actually do all three, which have different levels of risk so they have different treatments. indeed day trading is more complicated than swing, but it can be used as daily income for every trader

You mentioned that they all have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore no one is more complicated than the other is just the way we have learnt differently. Some one that swings may not enjoy daily or scalping kind of trade because simply, they don't understand it and likewise for a daily trader may not like swing because it takes you lots of time. It is a matter of preference. Like another man's meat and another man's fish is preferred.

But between the two i would go for swing trades over holding, had it been 10 years ago when volatility was aggressive i would say hodl.

HODL is safer than anything else. But we all want to stay in a bit of an action and some drama because we are humans.

That drama is what makes alot of inventors turn traders because they want to quickly swing for profit and then get back on the project with more. There is someone somewhere who will never consider swinging at all even when it is obvious that the token will dump. These ones do not like taking risk and they will be the first to accept that holding is safer. I like to hold most times too but it is not that am afraid of risk. It is mostly because I want to keep that token.

I do not know, why would I want to get drama in my life? I mean don't we all have it already? Since 2020, we had pandemic, I had some family emergencies, some health crisis unrelated to covid, now war, and plenty other things in between as well, this past 2 years has been probably worst in my life already. I do not get why we need more drama? That could be the reason why I am in long term holding as well, it just makes sense that way and I could be making a decent return by simply holding and ignoring everything.

I just buy and hold and keep it there, and that's all I do, I do not care about anything else. Doesn't that make more sense to you? I am not saying that it should be profiting a lot, it may not, it may take a while but it is calming and relaxing way to do it.

Unlike you not everyone can hodl coins for that long and keep buying more to add up. It is really nice for you if you kind of being able to do this. Hodling coins is good but something might crop up like family emergency, health issue and shelter then we can sell to take care of our lives.

By the way you are emphasising on war going on, are you from Ukraine? If you are, my sympathy to you and your country men.

You did not lie, the past 2 years has been probably the most intense for the world. We can say three because covid came on us in 2019. Who knows what hardship and health crisis this war will also add. This makes me feel sad. I suspect there are users in this forum who are directly in Ukraine and from Ukraine, I pray for their safety. We do not want death record of our members.

From my perspective swing trading is capitalized base on the essence of what you can risk during investment and it won't affect your capital or financial reservoirs, actually it's nice to hold because the proportion or the gain you can possessed can't be of same velocity compare to daily trading, because swing trading is a strategies a qualified trader or investors used to buy an asset and hold for time frame in order for it to describe or narrate it's profit expectations

As long you dont touch leverage/futures then you do always have  the chance for some recovery whether you are dealing with short/daytrades since you could always have the opt to hold with those

unrealized losses or floating negatives unlike when you are liquidated which is a different story.When it comes to swings then this is similar or same with trend trading on which you do stick out on a
particular timeframe and observe some biases specially on 1d to 1wk TF which technicals could really be seen.

I think in this way as well, losing money in the markets is completely normal and it could even be said that it is to be expected, however the moment you begin to use leverage that is the moment everything can go awfully wrong as you are multiplying your risk many times over, and the worst thing is that I do not really see the benefit out of it, after all if you are using a good money management strategy the moment your risk increases then that is the moment the capital used on each trade should go down, negating the whole purpose of using leverage on the first place.

Yes, but for me, this is not effective because if you decided to trade or before buying a trade like on the spot market, you don't have any plan? Like your entry price, price target, and stop-loss? Because if you hold your position instead of cutting your losses, it will not make you a good trader, to be honest. I already experienced this before when I'm just starting and most.
In short, don't mary your altcoins.

I know we dont want more troubles, but some people of the "gambling" mindset just cant face life without some risks and those are the people I was referring to. To them no risk means no fun. They need treatment indeed but there is lacking of the same.

Also I wish you all the best because of the problems that you are facing and I am sure you fight out of it. Keep holding bitcoin, the majority of the users are doing the same. Dont waste money on casinos and trying to do leverage or any other risky investments.

I just buy and hold and keep it there, and that's all I do, I do not care about anything else. Doesn't that make more sense to you? I am not saying that it should be profiting a lot, it may not, it may take a while but it is calming and relaxing way to do it.

It makes sense to me, but newbies will not have the patience to hold and they will either buy at the high or sell at the low, making the entire investment a huge loss.
