Strategy: holding but trading

[icalical]

Trust me if you do that, you will keep lossing. You will do panic selling when you see a correction that you might consider a "huge loss". My advice if you want to do crypto trading, do daily trading, because the whole crypto market is still very volatile. But besides you need you need to invest your money, you also have to invest your time on that.
Otherwise just be a hodler. And believe on your investment.

It is better to hold since it is on a long term. It has a very great potential to yield more profit before you decide to trade  when you feel you are comfortable with the present rate other than trading it because of a fall in price which is bound to happen in cryptocurrency. If you trade because you feel you are at loss, you might trade at a price which will bring more loss and then regret when the price is corrected and begin to grow stronger. It is better to trade a portion of it other than trading all you have

[Bardman]

Man, trading doesn't work like this. If you want to trade check chart at least every 5 hours. If you want to hold, don't even look there until you think it is time start trading. That is it for your question

Unfortunately people can't control themselves and they will eventually look at the chart, that's why it doesn't matter whether is short or long term investments, people usually do panic sell or panic buy. Investing in cryptos in general is difficult unless you are really good at controlling your emotions, a psychopath or an idiot.

The decision always depends on you. If you want to trade or hodl, that is all up to you. But if I were to choose, eeven though both trading and holding are good strategies, I prefer to hold it for a long period of time and and sell it once the market cap is high.

That may mean that you are a fan of that coin because you are always on the grip and not getting out the hold of it. May be risky if always stepping up on trade.

Trading is risky but better than holding. Let’s just first differentiate between the two terms. Trading means holding a coin for as much time as someone likes to, selling it out, then buying it again. A trader targets at buying low, selling high. Holding means selling out coin for once and all. Trading generates profits from time to time while holding can yield it only once. Definitely, trading is better.

Trading is better than holding in term of profits but this does not stands good for every individual because we all have different skill level and nature. For a person who has no patience and panics out too quickly, trading will be all loss and holding will also work under one condition and that is if he avoids checking price on daily basis. For a novice, it is better to hold and learn the market first.

Exactly. Not everybody can to trade. And that's why solid traders have their profit. Because without novices and the less successful traders market will not change.
I'd like such strategy. Without excessive zeal

Trading gives you quick profit but it is more risky than holding a coin. You need effective strategies to lessen your possible losses in your future trades. Learning those trading strategies will take time so it better to try long term investment. One of the most effective strategy, holding your coins will also reduce the risk of losing your investment in some unexpected price crashes.

[lavishlifing]

I am doing it right now, I use btc(bitcoin) as my capital for my trades, I am trading btc to altcoins, so trading while holding. Base on experience I'd say it is a good strategy

[ballerin and giroud]

If you focus on holding long term focus to achieve that, do not look at the price and just let it go. But if you choose a short term holding investment I agree to sell and buy the price depending on the state of the market. You should focus on your chosen strategy before, do not play games if you do not want to lose and get a lot of risk.

[blargh222]

you're not really holding if you're trading aren't you?
both trading and holding are viable depending on what you want to accomplish and how good you are at trading.

Trading is little risky platform but we can earn more profit in short time so we should choose the right coin in right time this will make more profit. In Crypto platform many day traders are earn more profit in quick period because they are well experts in trading. So short term investment is better than long term investment but only benefits it will never failed in future at the same time short term investment also right way.

I think you should put this in practice first in other for you to be able to understand that  you can actually make profits with this strategy. I have come to understand that trading is a skillful game and since the market has its own mind and know one can predict it accurately it is better one actually buy and hold for long-term and not doing it like gambling.

Trading is not an easy profession and crypto trading has a higher difficulty level due to the volatile nature of the market. The risk rather challenges also depend on the coin with which someone is trading. For example, bitcoin trading is far difficult than Ethereum trading but beneficial too. For a novice trader, he should go for long term trading first but before that, learn his coin thoroughly.

I have been holding and trading to accumulate more and more coins. then If I feel that coins are enough, I will just let it be for a very long time, let us see how rich I am after 5 to 10years.

[Ewox]

Yes it would be possible for as long as you are good at trading too. Remember it is not all the time that the market is green, there are also times that the market is all red too so it would not be good for you to trade when its dumping but it would be a good thing to buy coins during that time.

It is good to trade in dumping season too. Why or how? First, let’s look at what trading is basically consist of. There are only two possible actions in this profession. Either a person can buy or he can sell. It is preferred to buy an asset at a low value and sell it out when the price is high. A good trader must be able to take right decision at right time. Dips are the time when buying is done.

Do you guys think that it is possible to be successful if I want to hold ( a year), but  look at the charts only once a week (even less), then  trade only if I see a huge loss? Let's say I set a loss of 10% now, will I have to trade a lot?

Thanks in advance

If you set that kind of order that when you lose 10% you sell your coins you could end up trading a lot more than you think, it is not rare for bitcoin to lose 10% in a single day then you sell automatically and then you realize one week later that you sold and that now bitcoin has recover and now you need to buy your coins for a higher price, so if you're going to be a trader be a trader if you are going to be a holder be a holder its very simple.

You are right, without controlling the emotions we can't even make profits through this crypto trading. We should focus on things which will help us to control because every market cannot keep on growing and give a bunch of profits. People should carefully act according to the market situations.

If you want to keep the coins in the long run, you need to choose them from among the top 400-500. Coins from the top 100 are suitable for trading.

[kirstiemorton23]

I think you should hold your coins according to your situation and circumstances, I am sure you understand what I am talking about, so you should not hold 1-2 years, stick to your situation and needs, you are in control, you are captain in world trade , You decide to sail or berthing.
