risk in hodling and trading strategy

[faceoff97]

The only thing to consider  when holding is the safety of your funds. Since most Hodler are doing long term investment, they have to keep their fund in a safe storage. It's preferable to be a hardware wallet or an open source wallet. Open source if you doesn't hold to much volume, I suggest Electrum for Bitcoin and hodler if you want to invest into multiple coins.

Just be sure that your using legit Electrum wallet cause there is an issue regarding this. Click this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2780779.0

And so holding will be good for those potential coins only but if not, there is no reason to keep them long. I usually sell my tokens coming from bounties and I invested it into the other coins which I may feel profiting.

Since I'm holding multiple coin I prefer Hodler wallet. It's like Electrum that is open source but can hold multiple coin. What's important is that you have the full control over your private key. Im also checking out a hardware version of their wallet, you can it out it also here: hodler.tech/pro

Buyers of 2017 coins are the ones who hold their coins right now if they have the patience up to now. Otherwise, they already sold their coins laat year. The very long bearish period really tested holders patience. This is the key to survive here in cryptocurrency, patience. This is the recovery period as you can see that coins are very stable though not that high, but at least they are stable. For some, this is the time to acquire significant coins while prices are low.

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!

all traders should have the ability to be able to predict prices from time to time. because the key to success in trading is to enter at the right time and get out at the right time. because all strategies in crypto become meaningless if we are wrong in determining the time when we sell and when we buy.

If all traders have that ability, then definitely, trading would be boring.
The reality is that most traders are not good in predicting the market movement, and that's result to less profitable traders in the market.
Crypto is not easy to predict due to its unpredictable nature, but those who are smart enough may be able to predict it right.

I always like the idea of swing trading even while holding.  In the last few months we have seen how many altcoin have left their all time high and dump to an all time low price and holders of those token have been burnt. It is better to be trading it at interval while you hold to avoid massive loss

That's also a good idea as it's possible to make money in long term and short term trade.
However, this is not easy as you think, if you are used to long term holding, you should probably need to adjust as it's hard to find a good timing
in short trading. This can be learn of course, so you effort will pay off if you work hard enough to have a working strategy.

It means naturally, traders must know strategy for short term and long term trading. Because in any condition of market, he can solve it. And maybe if beb long term trader, it can be called investors because he save money and take profit for long time.

That is a good concept and suggestion. What I understand by swing trading is that it would be the kind of trading not completely devoted to a single coin/currency in the market but many of them at different time intervals. Is it profitable? I think it would be because you make use of the peak factor in case of each coin. Anyhow, for money making, I believe that Bitcoin is still the place to stick to.

Hold and trading should be always with risk management because both different way has potential to offer good profit but also with the same high risk.  Both way only good to do when crypto oversold just like current  situation.  We should be also have target profit for each way and avoid greedy.

Before buying it is best to determine the price to sell because this market we cannot predict anything and if Bitcoin turns red then all other altcoin will be red. Currently, Bitcoin has shown great stability in the last 7 weeks and it is likely that we will soon see red in this market, so consider selling before it's too late.

trading does have a very high risk, but with such a high risk I prefer trading compared to just holding.
holding not thinking too much about the strategy, they just wait for the price to go up to sell the tokens they have.

This depends on the individual if they have time to do trading. Trading requires time, patience, and determination in order to at least render it profitable. With HODL, you can focus on different/prioritize on different things while making time doing its thing.

The problem with HODL, you do not have the capacity to speculate or read about the market situation in order to maximize the profits. You are only letting time do its work and sell your investments if its price is beyond the initial acquired price.
With trading, you can study the external and internal market factors to reach a conclusion to your next financial decision. It involves a series of technical analysis and speculation unlike HODL.

The market is very unpredictable. There exist no direct or inverse proportional relationship among cryptocurrencies as it all depends on the market. If you were to trade, it is advisable to focus into one coin alone and extensively do your research about the said coin.

Now is not perfect time to trade because price now is not very high that can make profit for you, better keep holding as according to me holding never puts us in risk but trading at wrong time is bit risky, try not to lose your patience because market from sometimes falls but your patience will help you get out of the risk for wrong time trading.

I can't hold anymore once the market get red it shown that all altcoins have a chance to decrease on their prices so for those holders make sure that they can take the risk of it.

Panic sale will be a good reason to regret it in the future. There is always great risk, therefore it is always advisable to invest money which you can afford to lose.

[goaldigger]

This really fits on what kind of person you are. If you dont want to be stressed daily or youre too busy doing anything else then holding is fit for you, and vice versa. They are also both risky so theres no competition regarding that. Besides, trading requires skills and holding is not much ao it really depends on the person's capability.

therefore the risk of trading by holding the coin is really needed at a market like this because it is a good strategy to get profits even though the risk is quite large

Holding is one of the Best strategies in making profits from cryptocurrencies market.  Those that has been holding for long especially since the beginning of the last bull run are going to make serious profits in two to three years to come if they can keep holding.

[moynul2050]

the holder does have a higher risk than the trader, a trader has a stake in the funds they trade, while the holders usually do not, the traders can recover the lost assets by continuing to trade the remaining assets.

I think people who invest in crypto currency should take risks and take risks consciously , and now do not need to invest in crypto currency no more than 10% of the Deposit , since the market is still present bearish mood , it is worth investing in those coins that are still at the bottom

 We are risk takers and i can surely say holding is best option if the price rises up, I know and I keep this in mind that before rising it will surely get to the dip but one more thing is certain that price will again rise, so everyone talks according to their experience and my experience says holding is much better than taking risk of trading at low price.

[Bdstar]

I think trading is always risky.But if you can play it in sharp mind and with experience, you can be the winner.Trading is unpredictable but I think now we should hold and wait a little bit cause I believe bitcoin price will increase more.So why not wait a little bit and gain more profit.But what I said is risky too because bitcoinis falling agian ATM, 4900$ now.

Most of the people that bought at the end of 2017 are not holding their coins anymore, they are the ones that bought cryptocurrencies just because they thought that they could make some easy money really fast, the ones that are still holding their coins are all of those that bought before the bubble and that did it because they were completely convinced about the future of cryptocurrencies in general.

You say that the key to survival in this market is patience, but it doesn't matter how patient you are, you are going to eventually sell your coins if you do not believe that cryptocurrencies can in fact change the world, so the first thing that you need in order to gain the necessary patience is to have a deep knowledge about the economy and its flaws and how cryptocurrencies can solve many of those issues.

The essence of holding is to wait for the price to increase and to sell at a good profit.
When I hear the world hold, it's like holding for long term, we have our term in crypto which is HODL, and you can successfully do that
if you have faith in the coins you are holding, no matter it was dump, like bitcoin it will also recover and will give you a good price.

HODLing means you hold that assets for quite sometime, not exactly how long but you hold.
The risk is if that assets you hold goes in bear trend for a long time and not showing any signs of bouncing up. You'll lose your money if that happens.
So be careful what tokens you should be hodling. You'd better off trading assets that's much safer, for me i guess. You'd profit double than hodling, of course you'd lose double also.

[shoreno]

HODLing means you hold that assets for quite sometime, not exactly how long but you hold.

there are actually two types of hodling  . one is short term where you only hodl for a day or two  and the other one is long term where you basically hodl for a month or a year   .

The risk is if that assets you hold goes in bear trend for a long time and not showing any signs of bouncing up. You'll lose your money if that happens.
So be careful what tokens you should be hodling.

thats why its suggested that we only invest what we can afford to loose because hodling is a risky game and its advisable to choose the coin wisely  . you didnt loose money once the market start to decline but as long as you still hodl your coins  .
