Why choose LONG-TERM TRADING?

[Tenderino]

And what exactly is the difference between long term trading and investment? In my opinion this is all a question of definition, but if you buy somethig with the intent to hold it longer and sell it later when its price has increased, then this is usually called investment. Or maybe investment and long term trading is the same but just uses two different words?

[Finestream]

I completely agree with you that long term trading is the best way to earn money for beginner. Because you can not spend too much time to learn technical skill or trading skills

Yes.Even those who have stayed longer in trading but don't have enough skills,long-term is still preferable.It does not require too muck knowledge and skills,but at least you should know a little how the market works and even the coin you invested you should be wise enough to choose whether it has its own potentials or not.

Trading is indeed difficult to do.


Long term trading may take weeks, months or even a year or so. You may call it as "long-term holding" or simply "holding".


Long-term trading is good for those who:

• want to invest
• has a job that requires at least 8 hours a day
• want to earn extra income
• non professional traders or beginners

But of course you will have to consider these things before investing:

• invest money that does not limit your ability to meet other financial needs
• should be willing to lose some
• higher investment, more risky and higher potential of loses and/or rewards

These are the benefits of long-term trading according Anne Chapman (2015):

• You are not required to find new opportunities every time. Just hold on the coins you believe has a potential. Do not bother yourself with other cryptocurrency focus on your work and family.
• You have more time to plan and study the charts for analysis of trend
• You only need to employ simple techniques.

    First, identify major areas of support/resistance (does a trend have room to develop?

    Second, look for chart/candlestick patterns (do they reinforce a trend continuation?)

    Finally, look for a logical and high probability point of entry and manage the trade

• You will experience less stress since you do not have to monitor the charts, price, trend etc. every time.
• You only have to work less. Check your coin in a month or weekly basis, etc

Thank you.

I do not think long term trading is the best option at the moment, you can see that bitcoin prices in the past days are showing signs of strong recovery but in terms of limit, the bitcoin price are still in bear market. As a result, bitcoin prices will be able to go down at any time and can be very profound, and you can lose a lot of money if you trade long-term.

when I invest I prefer long-term investments. Because it minimizes the risk of loss, long-term investments with a 3-6 month period with a capital of $100 on maturity will benefit around $150

[BitHodler]

Or maybe investment and long term trading is the same but just uses two different words?

It is whatever you want to call it. It really doesn't matter since it's different for each person individually. Trading is an investment on its own, and an investment is also trading. The only difference is the time involved.

At the end of the day, the purpose remains exactly the same, which is to buy at a certain price level, and sell higher. It can be one minute after buying, one hour, one week, and the list goes on.

The name of your actions isn't important, the profits they generate are. In the same way, Bitcoin's name (currency, asset, commodity) doesn't matter either (aside from tax purposes), the use it enjoys matters.

[nara1892]

I usually prefer long term trading than day trader or fast trader, because we just 'hodl' without having to analyze every day.
But, when the coins rise up, I often rush to sell the coins so it doesn't sell at a high enough price.

[yua_na]

Because long term trading is more promised then short term. And why it is promese to be good ? Because, in fact the crypto market is still on bullish if we are looking back to 2010 when first time bitcoin traded. And thats the reasons long term is the best way to invest in crypto.

[mammusu]

Sometimes I choose for the long term trading because the situation of the market
When I buy in high price and price is going down, I need to hold them to recover my lose.

[Crypto Sway]

I'm personally for Crypto in the long-term so I Hodl. However, I'm interested in learning TA as it would benefit someone to learn how to trade a small amount of their portfolio less than 5% at first to learn. It depends what kinda gains you're after as well if you want to capture the Alpha gains then you must be aware of many things.

[coin_1122]

Mostly why i am choosing long term because in short term we have a large fluctuation in terms of price, we don't know exactly when the prices are going to increase and when the prices are going to decrease. So it is good to hold the coin for long-term in order to make more money on the investment we made.

[qiman]

Long term holding is always a good idea, especially for the more rock solid and safer crypto currencies to invest in. I like to invest long term in the infrastructure projects and so the last few weeks put n some long term holds for coins like EOS, WANCHAIN, DRAGONCHAIN, ZEBI etc and then looking around for ICOS for short, middle, to more long term holds as I day trade around 5% of my portfolio daily when possible, just to earn my daily bread as I do not earn enough for survival from bounties anymore. I still do those part time, but my focus now is on growing my portfolio, trading and a little bounty work.

[kloinko1n]

In this topic, you should also write about the proper composition of the investment portfolio

[Tanmoy98]

Short time trading is not too much profitable.In that case you will get a little profit but If you invest your money in long time trading you will get a better profit.Waves is the best altcoin to invest your money in long time trading.The price will be double after 2-3 months.

[MattLeBlanc]

Because we dont have the guts to bear the loss if something happens in the day trading. You need to do lots of research in order to get profit in day trading. In long term trading, you need just need to understand one coin and have faith in it.

[Gaff]

Sometimes I choose for the long term trading because the situation of the market
When I buy in high price and price is going down, I need to hold them to recover my lose.

In choosing long term investments in trading is more like taking care of an asset which you think for the future good profit to come. So you are able to hold your coins and expect to grow it with much higher value in the market. That's the common idea of a trader who seem to control himself of not selling in an earlier span of time, and definitely a wide thinker.

This is suitable for those who can invest a decent amount of money in one position for long periods. If you have a small assets, then trading is all yours.
But you still need to learn how to trade, and you should like it
In general, trading is profitable, but more risky, and the HODL is more reliable, but not as profitable as trading.
An exception is when the trend is purely ascending

Thanks, helpful information! I trade only for a long time, and this seems to me more profitable than day trading.

For me its depends of the setuation  because some of people holding in longterm way people want to get more profit because we know bitcoin or other currency have a potential to grow up the price in the future.theres other people hold a bitcoin because the price is so low and the holder think it the money will loss so investors force to hold and wait the price goes up again.

[Luckym7]

In this online market there are too many people start trading. Some people work with day trading some people work with long tram hold. Who is very expert with crypto currency trading only those people don't start long term hold because long term hold is a very lengthy process but it is a risk free so people always choose long term trading because most of the people don't want to lost his money in this region and market was dumb people always hold his token for a long time so people always want to use long term trading as a newbie trader.

[dev9t9ok]

Long term trading is investing as I consider. Of course they are more profitable because decisions are more accurate and thinkable. Short term trading has a huge risk and emotional aspect. Every trader or investor from Wall Street knows that investors are more successful in common.
