Are you long term or short term?

[babay_ko]

Nowedays i am a long term trader.For me it is dificult to gain some profits at this timeframe.I think in futer i will be short-term trader

[tantra deva]

I prefer long term because according to my experience more profitable, eventhough i have to wait for a good price to sell..but do not close the possibility to follow the short term if I am interested in the price at the time..

[Forbiddenone]

I am both,generally i go for short term for popular coin but for token i prefer long term,i also think only go for short term to increase the quantity of the coin do no care if you going in loss as well just focus on increasing the quantity,in future it will give you bigger rewards.

[mcconah]

I am more likely to long term. usually I also have a target. if it reaches the target I expect then I will sell it

[lyons]

I am trading once in a while because I have coins in exchanges. Sometimes I buy and just wait the coin to go up in value before I sell, of course I know it is in dip. Now, which is better, set it to your expected price so that when it hit you sold? O wait for the price to go up and sell even if it did not reach yet to your  target price? Thanks.

In my opinion, determining target prices sometimes doesn't work and brings really big stress. Of course you can make some logical predictions about the next prices of the coins, but sometimes it can not reach the prices you want. So, in my opinion, trading with the amounts which can not give you stress would be the best choices. In addition to that, in my opinion, the characteristics of the coins should identify the future steps to make your term choice.

You can look at the forum there are many newbies recently joining last year and this year completely panicking whenever there is the dump in the market simply they fear and selling coin whether it is bitcoin or other crypto currencies.
They need learn which coin is good for long term and which one short term coins.
If you are good at analyzing that then you can go with the either long term or short term as you wish.

In the current situation on the crypto-currency market it is worth very carefully trading. I would advise you to refrain from taking risky purchases until the situation in the market becomes clearer.

Here's the thing. Don't dump if you don't need money yet or if you think it is not yet profitable. Being thrifty is a good attitude in cryptocurrency world because a single token or altcoin can have the value the same as bitcoin.

I usually keep coins long because there's a better chance of making money in this unstable market.

At the beginning he talks about investors on medium-long term

[slaman29]

To make a profit in the short term, you probably need to invest in altcoins instead of Bitcoin. And the advice I want for you is to invest in some altcoins that are NEO, QTUM, Ripple, Litecoin because of the altcoins that are considered very potential, promising to go to the moon in Q4 years. 2018. You can refer to the discussion groups on Social to find some potential cryptos.

Not necessarily. If you had been trading only Bitcoin this past month, there were already 2 opportunities to make 15% during the dips, and most recently if you bought just below $10k last week, you could be looking easily at 12% profit yesterday. And from all the trading volume, it's easy to see that a lot of people are doing exactly that. Buying at 10k to keep the psychological level active, and waiting days to a week for easy 10%. If you did that this whole month, you'd be up almost 50% in Bitcoin - that's a lot of "free alts" to buy!

long term is the ultimate winner, short-term is only a little profit, or even loss

[indrofx78]

 a Long-term profit that can be more leverage, if we know the future prospects of a project.

and short-term profit in the little can, although a little profit in the can, provided perseverance will be a lot too

[removebeforeflight]

Long term or short term depends on your requirement and the coins you invest on. Normally few coins would show good results in a long term and most are pump and dump group, you need to verify which one you're investing and there's bit luck also required to make it up.

New IC's always have a a pump in one or two months minimum and other coins would show their potential any time. Watch closely their trend and decide yourself.

Looking at the present market conditions holding long term is something we can look in to for success in cryptocurrencies short terms trades are risky we may lose or money get stuck in between whereas in long term we can expect 5 to 10 times profit

that's true, but not everyone dares to do that, so more people are opting for long-term investments,
because as we know, short-term / daily trading takes a good analysis so not everyone can do it

[MMM005]

It depends on the currency, But nowadays I think that's good to buy and hold your coins.
Thats means long term is good for now.

So you are talking about active trading with btc or making up hedging then you would probably make up 50% but it would really be a hard thing to do and I do believe only small traders can able to make benefits with these movements and we are seeing bitcoin is trying to break up that 11500 resistance.We would probably wait for more longer time on stabilizing this price for quiet some time.If you can able to trade actively for short term then this would be a very good move but a very risky thing to do.

My term of holding depends on the token/coin I have in my wallet and what am expecting from it. Most times when the value goes down below what I bought, I'll have no other option to hold for long term till it comes up again. And if I see a promising projec, I always go in for a long term and sell at a very good price.

[OuterTech]

As of now, I get Token from the bounty then when I receive Token, I will watch the market for a short period of time since the Token is indexed, if the exchange rate is not increased much but stable then I will sell the whole number Token. If the increase is divided into two stages to sell, each stage sells 50% of the number of Token is holding.
