Trading vs. Buy and Hold

[neonshium]

If you are not that familiar with trading or lack of experience then the best thing you should do is to hodl. That’s the safest way for your money to profit with lesser supervision and gives you an ample time to learn more on trading.

At such moment, better is to learn rather than to hold. Holding would be temporary solution to the problem but you can’t control your complex mind for longer time until you haven’t any technical answer and strategy for your problem. Better is to learn in mean time and then implement back all the technical aspects of your trading. Best luck for the good and bad times.

Well.... In my personal experience if we want make investment for short term in cryptocurrencies trading is best choice because we can get active income if we can make constant profit in trading cryptocurrencies, in trading money is never sleep that's great chance to getting money in cryptocurrencies. But if we want to be investors will be better to buy and holding the cryptocurrencies especially for bitcoin and other alternative coins which has good fundamental of aspects.

[pelipurlara]

if you trade then you can grow the assets you own can become more than ever until you get rich and it looks like trading is better than you letting your assets can not grow

[legenduim]

I prefer to trade because you can make a huge profit in just a little amount of time, but yes, sometimes it is more than risky because you can easily lose a lot of money because of that.

Depending on the ability and conditions of the investor that can give the form of reasonable investment. If you are good at technical analysis and have plenty of time to watch the market, trading is a viable option; otherwise, if you are not good at technical analysis then choosing some good coins and keeping it in the times few months is a good thing to do.

It will really depend on the capability of a person,  trade if you have a lot of time or hold to see if there will be profit. Both methods are risky but we know that from the start that any method of earning  here will be risky because of the volatility of the coins. For the meantime,  since all cryptos are having a hard time getting a good price,  I prefer to hold especially my coins who have good prices before.

I am sure that if you are deep in the crypto world, you have to combine all of these activities. Yes, it will eat a lot of your time but will give you good money.

Thats right, I think it will depend on the capability of someone, if you have the skills to trade such as extensive knowledge and great analysis. then you have a lot of free time may not be a matter of choosing trading. if you do not have free time, and not very good at trading, you can just hold it..

you arfe right i depend on capability but now a day the market price are red and traders did not do trade because in this all the market are going down because the bitcoin have bad day you he should want just hold their investment tell the market price are recovered.

Trading or HODL

The goal of most investors generally is to buy low and sell high. This can result in two quite different approaches to equity investing.

One approach is described as "trading." Trading involves following the short-term price fluctuations of different stocks closely and then trying to buy low and sell high. Traders usually decide ahead of time the percentage increase they're looking for before you sell (or decrease before they buy).

While trading has tremendous potential for immediate rewards, it also involves a fair share of risk because a stock may not recover from a downswing within the time frame you'd like—and may in fact drop further in price. In addition, frequent trading can be expensive, since every time you buy and sell, you may pay broker's fees for the transaction.

Be aware that trading should not be confused with "day trading," which is the rapid buying and selling of stock to capitalize on small price changes. Day trading can be extremely risky, especially if you attempt to day trade using borrowed money. Individual investors frequently lose money by trying to use this approach.

A very different investing strategy—called buy-and-hold—involves keeping an investment over an extended period, anticipating that the price will rise over time. While buy-and-hold reduces the money you pay in transaction fees and short-term capital gains taxes, it requires patience and careful decision-making. As a buy-and-hold investor, you generally choose tokens based on a company's long-term business prospects. Increases in the coin price over years tend to be based less on the volatile nature of the market's changing demands and more on what's known as the company's fundamentals, such as its earnings and sales, the expertise and vision of its management.

Such a strategy can be super profitable. Here are some examples:
  Spectrecoin  +48228%
  Neo  +90450%
  Ethereum  +95390%
  IOTA  +105505%
  NXT  +391776%
(data for the end of 2017)

And how do you think, share your views on the pros and cons of trading and long-term hold in the comments.

At this time, when the market is continuously fluctuating and bitcoin prices are continuously decreasing in recent days, I believe you should trade short term by day, the market is showing signs of continuation. The market fell sharply in the coming days and may reach $ 6,000. The market is bearish in the long run so long-term investment is very risky if bitcoin prices can not recover.

The market in recent days is fluctuating continuously and is constantly falling sharply, you can see that bitcoin knitting prices continue to decline sharply over the past few days and there are no signs of recovery. Therefore, at this point you should not invest long-term and only short-term investment by day to be able to profit from the lowest risk.

The market is in the bearish trend in the long term, so I think that at this point you should only trade short-term by day to be able to minimize the risk and earn a profit safely. The current price of bitcoin is at $ 6400 and according to my analysis, bitcoin prices will probably continue to fall and will reach $ 5900 in the coming days.

[ylnar123]

Trading is definitely lucrative if you can catch the market movement accurately.

For inexperienced trader, it is better to choose the holding option to avoid making the wrong trading decision.

Right, trading needs to have a thorough observation in the market and an accurate forecast on it's movement. For new investors it is much effecient to do the buy and hodl before trading to avoid a much bigger disaster in their investments.

Therefore, at this point you should not invest long-term and only short-term investment by day to be able to profit from the lowest risk.

long term trading/investing is still beneficial despite the fact that the market are now falling because we all know that this crash is only temporary, soon the market will still recover back to normal and only those who hold long term will only get the benefit the most.

 you cannot also do short term trade these days because the coins are still bleeding, that is why buy and hold is the best strategy to do so far. holding alone would also do , if you dont have any cash to spend at this dip.

[Mastsetad]

holding a coin for the long term requires positive information for the foreseeable future, holding a coin has a high risk if we do not read a valid news source, but to five coins of your choice it has good prospects

In fact, holding is even more risky as you stand to either profit a lot or lose a lot in the long term. Traders benefit more from the fluctuations in the short term as well as the huge increase in the long term as well. I got into trading because I could not look at my portfolio going up in huge percentage and coming back down in huge percentage when I could have taken advantage of that to hold more position in those coins to have a huge increase in the long run than just holding all through.

I do not think that there is such a big risk in long term holding, short term trading can be consider as more risky as compare to long term investment and holding. I myself have invested my money for long term and now I am too much confident about my investment and will hopefully give me a good profit after some time.

Study what the necessary things that you can do to make a good profit instead of being down of the market. Research a useful tools on how could you trade or even hold your coin without losing too much of your savings and definitely at this point you should think wisely of what action you would take due to being unstable of the market.

Right.Instead of being stressed by the continuous fall of price,why not grab this chance to make more profits than waiting for the price to go up.Buy low and sell high,that's the most popular method in trading that will minimize your losses somehow.And even the safest way to gain profit in a long term investment.While it demands less stress than day trading,but still you should be knowledgeable enough especially when things are happening far from your expecations.

I think you should not buy and hold at this time of the market, the market is in the down trend so the price of bitcoin and altcoin will be able to keep falling very strongly, you should be careful before all variables price of bitcoin. If you keep the long-term, the higher your losses, the more losses you will have. At this point you should only trade short and finish the day trading.

This is something that depends on the trading plan. If you are trading Litecoin or ripple or NEO, you can trade for short term and this can also be profitable. The case of buy and hold can work in long term in the crypto are Bitcoin and ETH.

Looking at the current market, I think the concept of buy and hold can be perfectly executed and it could also prove profitable in long run. All one need to do is to make the wise decision.

HODL is only suitable for those who have the money to live until the coin has fallen and is again waiting for growth. for the rest, we need daily trading. but ujednani trade is sometwenty minus - you tend to worry and destroy your nerves)

[HiringYou]

Trading includes keeping a regular check on the prices and buying and selling according to that.It needs some experience and skills.It can help you to get really quick profits but if you don't have enough skills then you can face huge losses also.On the other hand buying and holding is bit simpler than trading.It just includes buying the coin and holding until you find a good price to sell.Holding can be beneficial to those investors who have enough patience to let their coin grow but holding will only be profitable if we know that what is the right time to buy and sell.It requires our trust on the coin because for the time we will hold our coin we will have to face many ups and downs.If we will not have patience and will commit the mistake of panic selling then even holding can make us face losses.

[otunayode]

Trading give a feeling of been in charge and the satisfaction that you are making it happen whether in profit or loss. Trading also open you to see opportunity apart from daily trading. I think traders are better holders because they see quality coin everyday.

[harbin55]

This is a pretty good choices to profit. Practically if you want to have that fast money you must be trading your coins or rather tokens that fast and circulate that on the market. In the other hand if you are here just for investment and to have fun at the same time to profit you must buy and hodl and wait for your time to got paid and profit by terms of selling what is good to be sold.
