Trade or HODL?

[Ruhul_Amin]

I think it depends on you. If you have a good sense of market then you can trade. It can be more beneficial in a short period of time through trade. But there is more risk.

But in my opinion, HODL is the best at the moment. Because it is less risk. If you wait patiently 100% benefit.

Hi guys, I have a couple of alts in my wallet right now and I want to gain profit.

I want to earn a profit while waiting for a better market value. Should I enter trading(where I don't have an idea on how to and where to start) or should I stick on HODLing my coins?

Looking at the market movement, is it a good time to start trading?

Is it risky or not an ideal move if I start to study trading using some of my holdings/alts?

I am eager to learn how to do trading(short-term or day-trading).

Any thoughts? TIA

I think that it is still better to hold since the market has just started to recover. There's still a big chance that the prices might dump soon. If you really want to earn then it is just fine to trade this early but you'll only have a small profit. If you are so eager to earn then it is better for you to hold to the moon and try selling of the market fully recovers.

I think it is better if he just trade it since this is the chance for him to earn a good profit while the market is not totally down yet. There might be a chance that the market will going down again and since OP doesn't have any idea of trading yet, it might be a better if he does trade only in a small fraction of amount that he can handle to lose since trading is not that an easy task.

I think ,You can do both for your profit.  if you want a long-term profit you keep your Altcoins , Although they have a possibility for profit.
Remember that there is always risk in trading .  If you can control your emotions and trade, then you can eliminate the damage and will be success

My view:
HODL only strong coins: bitcoin, eth, stellar.
Trade between these coins and other altcoins to multiply your main coins.
I was trying to daytrade manually. But it takes to much time.

Recently I joined this guts as a beta tester; they are developing automatic trading robots. Got some profits this week, but markets are growing, so it wasn't too hard

You are so great to have so many different cryptocoins, which will distract and decrease your investment risk.

Everything really depend on the current price and the way we decide to make profit. I thing trading is the best way to earn a huge amount of profit in a verry short period of time, but sometimes we need to hold and wait for the right time to trade. We can really think everything like an easy task but if we are going to decide by our self decisioning we can really feel pressure on both ways.

I do both to earn profit. No one is forbidding us to do both trading and holding at the same time so why bother if you can do both. Trading is good if you know how you will do the trading while holding is good for long term investments. I also participate in campaigns so I can earn bitcoin or token and the token that I get is what I used for trading. This two makes a good partner if you want to save for the future. Not all people are able to do investing especially with the high price of bitcoin so some would prefer investing in altcoins. This is also a good idea but of course, one must be careful of what token he is going to invest into because not all altcoins are proven to be profitable.

If you have funds then go try it, if it's something you really want to learn and you have the capital then go ahead and do it. Before you trade make sure to study and research the basics and the fundamentals also be updated on the news. And trade your alts in trusted exchanges sites.

there is no harm too for example we want to try, even with the beginning of a little capital is okay, before we enter the market, indeed our initial capital to learn to trade must know the basic ways how we should trade properly, if my advice to new traders, do not be too obsessed first to immediately get a profit, the most important we must find out first how to be a true trader.

if you need some money on this moment then you should trade it.  If not, then just keep it hold 'cause some of alts coin nowadays has tends to increase so must put some patience to gain more profits, no need to hurry pal just relax.

[Webberson]

Trading is a day to day practice that anyone can get involved while Holding is a long term practice that anyone can get involved as well. As for me, i do both, in the sense that when i'm in a trade and i happen to be at a loss, i then tend to hold for price to get to my entry and get passed it for a gain.

[Sum24]

If you are just starting to trade then hold while you are starting because you can earn money while you are learning how to trade but of course it's still a risk even you are just holding.

No for me holding does not have any risk but it save your bitcoin from lose and from any risk, to me trading is good too but if you buy and trade for long time then you will get a lot of profit, if you will buy and hold you will earn smaller than trading but it will be risk free earning but if you will not hold with patience and sell your bitcoin then you can suffer a lot of lose don’t panic,. Price will rise and fall but don’t sell, hold to earn higher get rich with your patience and your trading investing, keep your eyes on the market.

Exactly, I am holding this coins too and Ripple, ADA and bitcoin too. I don't intend to sell any of my coins for now, and looking at the direction the cryptocurrency price is going, holding coins will be better now. And it will be the best if traders can consider holding too. Though, trading can be quite profitable too but that's it you have a huge ir average capital to set up.

[MinoRaiola]

it depends on the time of someone else. if someone has a job, he will not have that much time to take care of it. that is why they will prefer the strategy hodl, which is not wrong. The most valuable thing is and always will be the time. one has more, the other less

It's all up to you mate, choosing to stick on holding of all your altcoins is really a good idea and will give you more profit in the future than today. But if you really want to get your profit and you are interested to learn how to trade with it, then the decision is always on you. And here's a thread that contains of different crypto exchanges that you may use for trading of all your altcoins, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2997463.0 hope it can help you with your trading journey.

If you have nothing to do, you can trade a little. You better do it on a demo account. Unless you want to lose your money.

This isn’t the solution. How long can you do trading on demo account just for the reason that you don’t want to lose money? Is it right? No, brother you don’t have to do this. Rather do learn the techniques and practice them on demo account but as soon as you become satisfactory with your performance, just come in the main stream. Don’t get feared with loss, it is a temporary lesson for your better future.

There are too many crypto currency traders in this online market. Some people is very expert with day trading and only those people not want to hold is money because there very expert with a day trading. Who is newbie in this online market they are want to hold his coin because if you hold your money it is very low risk. I am also crypto currency trader and I am do both type of work holding and trading. Some coin I hold because when I was by this coin on that time market price is very low so I am hold my coin.

[i-spn]

So hold your coin for several years, you will be rich. Low now high tomorrow

[creepyjas]

Seems most of the replies are telling me to just HODL my coins. Well, I think that will be worth it as one of them is pumping right now and I'm quite sure that it can reach my expectation base on what's the progress on their platform.

[manggis97]

In my opinion for the better to trade it, because from high fluctuacion of crypto market we can make alot of profit from trading, but offcource with good knowledge about trading strategies. Trading actually not unpredictable if we have knowledge about how to analysis the market in technical and fundamental. To be pro trader need times and effort so always patient for that.

The decision is all based from your status right now, like for example you really need money right now for some personal or emergency situations and you think you gain some profit then that is the best time to sell your coins. Another example is you afraid to lose your capital and all the profit you gain then sell it but there is one time in your life that you will regret the decision you've made. While on the other side if you are one of those people who have dreams to be a successful person someday and at the same time you are ready to face the consequences whether its good or bad then holding is the best choice for you.
