Scalp trading vs. Swing trading, which is your style?

[BitHodler]

Holding is still the most reliable means of investment and it is less risky unlike short term trade, although short term trade could really be more profitable especially when you are practicing bot, I mean long term investment and short term trading.

I don't see why people constantly force themselves to choose one option over the other, while you can easily do both long term hodling and short term trading at the same time. It requires zero extra effort.

I am not trading that much, but I allocated 10% of my total stash to short term speculation and the other 90% stays in my cold wallets for many more years. 10% is what I consider to be a pretty safe allocation to speculate with.

I know some people who use like 50% of their total holdings to speculate with, but that's just crazy--the greed here can and will likely do more harm than good during a losing streak.

Even if you are scalp trader or swing trader until you get a profit then go because both are profitable its depend on the people who take in trading industry like me I'm a day trader I use a 4hrs to 1hr time frame when doingtrading not all my trade are win theres also a lose.

I think Bitcoin's volatility is more suited for scalp traders to make timely quick bucks.

traders have different style or techniques on making a trade and it suits for everyone depending on how time they could spend on doing trades as we all know scalp trading needs quick exit and it requires more time for monitoring your coin and it'll suit you if have much time for that.

On the other hand, not sure swing trading is any good especially because when the bull run starts, a swing trader can be confused on where to exit the market to maximize profit.

I don't think so, as long as you have a target price you already know where to exit the market. a good trader always have plan to follow.

Mostly swing trading but there are time when scalping is a better choice. I say I do both depending on the needs of the trend or my availability. Scalping needs immediate attention that I cannot always have. But when I do have time for it, I prefer scalping.

Scalp trading is very risky, if you are using a leveraged exchange and it is also not for inexperienced traders. I have done scalp trading for some time, but not successful in it, as i didn't have any previous experience.
