Day trader or Hodler, what's the right choice? (in bear market)

[maliken01]

Simply buy the coins that you think will moon and don't sell it until you are happy for the gain. Hold till it reach your target. I beleived it does nothing to do with either day trade or holder. Meeting your target is the most important in trading. Gain Vs Lose. Hold till no gain or sell for loses.

Two situations/cases in this BEAR MARKET. So:

Are you a day trader?
If yes, how long do prefer (limits) you keep a coin until you sell it?

Are you a hodler?
If yes, how long is the best time to HODL a coin (6 months, 1 year etc)

Many people think that BULL MARKET will came in APRIL / MAY. Are we close to that? With present BTC situation... (and all altcoins)

I dont trust my day trading abilities because i always keep on losing when i do that especially now that crypto market are still very unpredictable and i hate that, so i always stick with a long term HODL. Long term HODL give me less stress and i can have more time with my real life.

im a day trader, 2% profit per day is enough for me and I hold dollars not coins. I've learned that holding coins is only for brave people.

This is the right choice we have to do and we don't how to choose those coins in the market, whether their prices will reach to the moon or not we don't know. As far as i know, instead of selling them for the low price better sell them for the high price by holding them for certain period of time.

daily trading not promising forever and get results. Maybe in a market trading, the best decision is to hold the coins because the result is very different from in the very far in daily.

day trading is so hard. You see a coin and you say its dip lets buy some but than btc goes under 9k and your coin has a new dip  if you hold a coin you know it will recover one day for sure but must be carefull and never buy shitcoins. Coins with real project ,good team and even with a product can make new ath.

You don't seem to realize that HODL is only an arm of a long position, so traders are already applying it and much more tactics in their everyday trading.  Worthy of mention is the fact that day trading presents traders with the opportunity of making money regardless of the value of the asset, unlike the hibernation period and which could be indefinite, which HODL often entails.

As par the bull market returning in April /May, you shall be needing a crystal ball to be able to decipher that, but what  really does that help? What's necessary is to stay abreast with developments in the market and taking informed market decisions and the profits would most likely follow.

If you are sure we are on bear market do day trading and wait for the dip at that day buy and ehen the coin bounce 3-5% you need to immediatly take a profit and close your trading platform. Or you can use bot so you can execute it faster. Dont forget to see chart in one hour or 15 minutes so you can analyze the price range for that day.

In the long term a hodler will always win. Theres a reason why the hodl terminology is promoted so much in the crypto world. As per the stats in the crypto history anyone who hodled would have earned far more than someone who would have traded. Also trading isn't for everyone. A very small percentage of traders are able to turn a profit from it.

[Mihaylovic]

hthe best thing to do is to be able to exit with stop losses in the beginninhg of bearish market. but ofcourse it is hard to realize that market trend turned to bearish. so if you already lost so much hthe only way is keeping whatever till market recovers.

[ruffles2016]

It is hard to embrace correct role in time. That's why I tend to prefer long term investor role, I just look my coins once in a day and move on. I only buy coins I trust so it doesn't matter to see them crash weekly.

[Vit83]

Nowadays it is hard to be a day trader. Very strange, low amplitude and very lazy/slow movements. Now I'm hodler. Hope I bought on the bottom))

[hdclover]

I'll go with trading in bear market that too with short term trading like buying in the dip and selling in the next pump itself. Hodling in the bear market is a bad idea because if market goes further down and down you would end up holding a bag of loss. Just my personal opinion though.

It's coin by coin decision. You can't generalize the whole market.

I'm still trading some coins like CS and PRL.
Another I'm just holding like UTK and ELIX.

[JVC]

Definitely learn to day/swing trade. You don't make any money HODLing in a bear market

[samcrypto]

If you're confident with your trading skills then I suggest day trading can be your sideline in bear market because I know its a best way to make money during dump market. Personally, I choose to hold on my coins because I don't want to stress myself from falling market, but I keep on buying to increase my possible profit.

[nsasuiteb]

It really depends on person but for me as I am bad trader, both choice will end up with loss. I think hodl in bear market but you still lose money for sure but In the short term only.

I've been stuck a few times in the trade in the last few months and for the moment I stopped it. I currently only hold for long term and also invest in ico.

For me doing day trader is hardly to manage because you have to be attentive for all your coins that you had. I have also experience of stucks of buying coins thinking of it will increase right away. This is Ive choosen for now of long term hold. However, it is still depends on a persons on which he is capable to manage doing day trader and long term.

yes I agree, if we can manage both why not. but it seems I have to restore the best mood, because I am annoyed and tired of seeing the market conditions and other fud or bad news.

trading day by day takes a lot of time and nerves, holding only nerves  In such bearish market, I took my profit from holding and just jumped on a fiat. Will see weather may be bullish for crypto or not.
