Is this trading ?

[boyptc]

Yes, that's definitely trading.

Don't be bothered if the description you're thinking of won't be called as trading by the others. As long as there's an exchange that has happened, it means that you've traded.

If you have sold x for z, that's called trading already. So it doesn't matter if others don't think of it as a trading activity even if it actually is.

i think what you are describing is just more of spot trading, moving between Bitcoin & stablecoin base on the movement of price, is nothing short of spot trading!! since you are not holding for a long term purpose, all you do is to buy and sell just to make some profits, the only difference is that you are not using futures or even leverage but even at that it is still considered trading because you are managing an active position and also surely reacting to the market conditions

Exactly. It can be short term or long term, but knowing the fact that buying and selling take place, that only tells that you are into trading.

Regardless if you sell for profits or you end up panic selling, trading happens no matter how others would claim it part of hodling.

The key there, one should buy low and sell when high, in order to benefit profits from your trade.

[Josefjix]

You are not loosing the quantity of Bitcoin held, the value of the quantity of Bitcoin is what is reducing, of course, you are doing trading by doing that, selling at profits and buying at low prices again and again, and then you repeat.

But that doesn't guarantee you gaining all the times, if you stick to this strategy, sooner or later, you'll be stuck without profits, it's be better to keep your Bitcoin while you learn more about trading.

If I buy some amount of bitcoin and the target is to make profit from it. If the price of Bitcoin is going down and i convert my bitcoin to a stable coin and when bitcoin price is coming up again I convert the stable coin to bitcoin and monitoring the price of Bitcoin continues, can this be also considered as trading?

I had some amount of bitcoin, and had pans of converting it to a stable coin because I have no plan to hodl Bitcoin and Bitcoin price dropped, and since I have lose some amount of bitcoin in said I'm going  to wait and when the price increase again, then i will convert it to stable coin and  this is what happened at last.

Scaf trading is what you are doing,  in practical terms you are applying the DCA method in a way that, you buy low and sell high, this is the settings but also it comes with it own risk too, because sometimes you may not be lucky enough to sell or buy at favorable price or you have to wait endlessly if the market goes against your own speculations.

Spot trading isn't bad either, as long as one is able to manage an active position and react to price changes in the market. For traders unfamiliar with futures trading, I don't think they should try it unless they've thoroughly learned the basics of futures trading. Even if a trader experiences a loss in spot trading, they can at least retain their assets and avoid selling them at a loss. In futures trading, this is not the case, as there are only two absolute options: profit or loss. And even a loss can be zero once it reaches its liquidation point.

That's trading. Even holders are also becoming traders when they have to sell for profit. You see how the process goes and understood it correctly.

So, you can call yourself a trader if you mostly convert the bitcoin's you've bought into stable coins when you're done with them.

What matters is that with this example of yours, don't be discouraged when you've lost from Bitcoin. That's because of a wrong timing of when you've bought it. Still assign some money for it to HODL for a long time and you'll see how profitable it is.

If that's the only thing that's concerning him if he's into trading already, he's approved of that and he can now tell to his friends that he's been trading for a while.

And I agree that the main key there is about how profitable he is doing that because regardless of how many times he trades and yet, he's not profitable.

That's what the other people will be concerned for him and the major question that will be asked to him upon knowing he's a trader, if he's profitable or not.

Why do you want to sell at lose?
It would be better you hold bitcoin for at least closely to 1 year before selling especially when you buy them during the bear run and you need to wait to experience at least few percentage changes to enable you make little profits from your holdings.
Apparently, selling bitcoin right away that you do not hold for months can be considered as trading, but you are trading at lost because you couldn't wait for your bitcoin to make little changes before dumping it and you should be buying more when the market dropping seriously than you selling of your holdings.

You are doing the basic trading, you are buying and selling with aim to make profit, even if you are doing it and you are making loss, you are still trading. The only difference between your trade and others is that you are relying on fundamental analysis, buy low on the news dump and sell when you have made some profits. You are also not holding, this is what trading is about 

Forget about those fancy charts, your purpose in trading is to make and that's what you are doing. Some whales are not that technical friendly, they depend more on fundamentals of Bitcoin, they buy just before the news hit the market and sell when they see FUD coming. Some insider traders does this most often, they are the first to get first hand information and dump immediately before everyone knows what's coming next to the market.

Of course yes, that is absolutely trading because you are being targeting market values of what bitcoin price is in the short term and seen also targeting to secure short term profits.
Converting your bitcoin to stable coins may be a risk management of controlling your assets against downtrends volatilities but this strategy may only end up destabilizing your psychological health because bitcoin market is always being volatilize in trajectory, so you can wonder how long you keep converting your bitcoin to stable coins. 

[nara1892]

Trading is essentially a buying and selling activity. This means that whatever type of asset you invest your money in, as long as you're buying and selling it, it's considered trading, and you're certainly engaging in it with the goal of making a profit.
Converting Bitcoin to stablecoins is simply a method or strategy you believe can protect you from excessive risk. It has nothing to do with your main question, as it's clear that any type of asset, as long as you're buying and selling it in the crypto market, is considered trading.

With the way you explain this, you are considered to be a trader  because it is a trader that always keeps monitoring the price of Bitcoin with the aim of selling or buying for the short term. So what you are practicing is trading and according to some people, once someone is holding Bitcoin for less than a year, that kind of person should be considered a trader. So trading can be long term and can also be short term.But what you are doing like this does not show that you are a serious trader, because if I understand well, you don’t always do any analysis but just buy Bitcoin and it is the condition that will make you sell it, and also the condition of Bitcoin’s price that will make you buy when you feel like buying.

As I know, a real trader always does analysis so they can be able to predict the movement of Bitcoin. Because sometimes the time you decide to sell may be the period Bitcoin’s price will increase, and also when the price of Bitcoin is down and you want to buy, it may continue dropping. So this plan you are making toward Bitcoin may not give you profits.

Well, it is indeed a trade. And usually, this type of trade is often referred to as swing trading. This type of trading can be seen from the way they buy several trading pairs at prices they consider to be low enough. And when their buy orders are filled, they will target profits based on the technical analysis they have made, which is usually combined with risk management. And they will start selling when they have actually made a profit. It doesn't matter if they have to wait a few days or even a few weeks. They are not in a hurry in the process.
