risk in hodling and trading strategy

[Aivaryamal]

Hodling is a great solution, but you do not need to get involved in it and you must set yourself the goal of making a profit in certain numbers to fix and cash out your investments

[Santoshi_my_God_]

it is not something that needs to be analyzed if indeed the holders have a greater risk than investors, because investors have bought coins far cheaper than the holders

I do not know that what do you mean by holders and investors as the holders are also the investors as they also have invested their money in some time in the past. The holders often get more benefit as they do not play in high risk and they know that in the future their profit is confirmed.

I am in favor on your analysis, Hodler is more risky than trader, especially when you hold more of some Shitcoin bought in some ICO project... There is no chance of winning of them.. I prepared to trade all my ICO coins when hitted to market, that will lower the risk.. Trading is more on waiting and patience, plus the factor of a good timing!

This is vice versa, holding may be more profitable that trading, if we talk about Dec17, people who bought bitcoin or eth or any other popular cryptocurrency would have earned many folds from their original investment  by end of Feb18 but trading could not earn you this much amount even after spending the whole day before live market, I think both holding and trading has their pros and cons, one should have proper plan for both type of investments.

You can actually focus on one so you can make a good strategy.
Trading is definitely for some people only who has the skills that could lead to making money instantly.
Holding is for majority and most people invested and holding for an expectation that in the long run price will increase like what happen in the bull period.

Risk is always present, we cannot skip that but should take it and manage it.

I don't find anything risks in holding because if you don't panic for the market situations because there won't be any growth if there is no downfall in the market. For trading, we need to analyse ourselves before investing into any coin and price fluctuation are common.

if you haven't found it, then you don't pay enough attention to it. of course there is a risk of holding back. the coin that you hold can be stolen by hakcer. besides, I think you can also get a loss when you hold a coin and the price drops.

in any trading strategy it have their own risk.holding coins could be risk if suddenly this project left by its developers team and no one continue this.this is could main mistakes for us.

trading and holding coins has their own risk, if you hold a coin you could suffer a loss when you hold it and the price goes down, as well as trading you can also experience losses if you miscalculate its predictions, so it depends on which method you prefer.

We're all aware on it since from the start, losses is already a part of being an investor or just a simple holder. We survive until today cause we knew how to make deal on that and besides, many were getting successful cause they never easily give up. Though the risk might change is but must have to face it.

Yes! moreover if we can combine daily trading and holding, of course we can minimize the risk, with a note, we must know which coins are good to hold and which coins are good for daily trading. if it works then we will get big profits easily.

Seriously ?  hmmm we dont minimize our risk in that way but we rather maximize them because trading is more risky than hodling and you cant trade daily or oftently especially these year because all cryptos are experiencing a hard crash  .   hodling on the other hand is also risky but not as big as trading although we can evenly minimize our risk if we hodl only coins that are already have a reputation in the society .

But if we talk about hodling ETH, BTC, XRP?

[ufalo3]

Hodling is a great solution, but you do not need to get involved in it and you must set yourself the goal of making a profit in certain numbers to fix and cash out your investments

If you are absolutely sure that altcoins, which you have in your portfolio will show the fast growth in the future, it is better to hold them. If you work with many cheap tokens, better trade.

I think the risk is clear, that prices can go down very deep at any time, and of course the coins you hold don't necessarily have a beautiful future because everything is just a prediction and hasn't happened yet, I think you have to understand that risk before starting mate

All of our predictions can greatly affect many people around. I think we should only consider the form of reference because we cannot be sure what will happen in this market and any decision will affect your future.

I never find anything risks in holding but due to the market situation the prices will go down but once the market starts recovering automatically the prices will start increasing. Holding will always give huge money instead of day trading.

I do not agree to your statement because there are more risks in holding a cryptocurrencies. Most of the holders losses their money because they hold shitcoins. It is hard to know if one specific cryptocurrency is good to hold ot not.

So from that, we should not focus only on one coin, but try to focus on the coins that are trendy in the market, with such methods surely what we target becomes easily achieved.
Prediction and speculation have become our spectacle every day, and both will continue to exist and occur as long as the market can still serve the people involved in it.
Right, by understanding the risk first it can make us avoid/be able to minimize the loss which at any time can occur at any time.

holding coins has high risk.as we know market moved with high volatility and it could up and down extremely.make sure first that our mental and emotion could be strong to face it.

Ive seen many times on this forum statements like:
"trading is risky, holding is safer"
"when you are hodling you are not making that much mistakes"
"in trading there are much more possibilities to loose money"
"if you would buy ether for 1$ look where you could be now"
"Hodler is not affected by whales making pump and dump"

Hi there. I agree with the HODL strategy, but when talks about the solid coins. But 2018 shows us a problem with this strategy. Your portfolio in crypto stays at the start level but equal to USD - falling down.
I think active trading is better. At first, it is mental exercises 🙂
At second, always better when your funds are working.
Of course, there have some risks, but... I am choosing active trading 🙂

  I think holding coins or bitcoin has no risk and we are aware of bitcoin market as well that it use to change the price accordingly. So for me price change is not risk taking act as I know if today it is low tomorrow it will surely rise once again. So I am still hopeful and I am holding my coin patiently for long time.

I'm used to being guided by intuition, even thoug such complex cases occur as trend change. In such situations the one's insight can help as well in order to make right decision either to hodl or to short-trade. The only thing can dazzle one's mind is greed, and fear as an effect. For instance, just yesterday I was out of mood and refused to enter the market, so smth makes me happy when I see today's slump.
