Trading

[Morana]

for now the better way is short trading, because if you hold some coin that can be worse after 1 or 2 month.
play short, buy now sell about 1 day or just in few hours, dont hold to long.
im stop all activity trading from dec until i see good news about crypto.

Do you really believe that'll work?

Which is more crucial HODL or Short Trading ?

if you do not know anything about day trade then you should only stay in the Hold, of course that with Hold you can lose a lot of money if you are not patient. a concrete example: the price of bitcoin reached  $20,000, then the people who bought when the price was $20,000 they are with huge losses, but they must be patient and wait for the price to increase to $20,000, and this can take year or years. if you are someone who has deep knowledge about daytrade then you can do daytrade, that you will have more profits and maybe you will take less risks in relation to hold.

I want to start trading. Can anybody helps me, by suggesting what is the best way to start trading for a beginner??

Both of them can be risky. It is how to do them that can make a good out of. It is all about the strategy and proper feelings to use for it.

[Finestream]

That depends on how much knowledge you know. Both fields have weakness and might be crucial depending on your strategy or how you understand the situation. Short trading can be crucial of you don't focus while in the business or having doubts when to sell, buy and also on how you control your emotions. Holding will be crucial if you are not updated with the project and also don't set a proper expectaion when to sell it. In this industry, knowledge is always the key.

I agree.knowledge is always our edge from others.For me,short trading is more profitable especially with the current market situation.But it also brings high risks compared to holding.But i believe these two strategies need more knowledge because we cannot succeed in trading if we don't have intact knowledge from the start.

It will depend on what coins you will put on HODL or short term trades.

Those coins that will fall under the category of HODL should be somehow a well established coin that already known for withdstanding a certain downtrend. Since we are playing with the risks here, let's make the risks worth to put a shot. Also it must backed up by a large community. Not all coins can be put on HODL as there are coins who aren't fitted to it.

On the other hand, most coins/tokens can be put on a catergoy of short term trading but you must be careful dealing in these activity as even it's possible that you can gained profit in a day, chances of losing is also possible obviously.

Don't want to pinpoint what are those coins as we might have different experienced trading them in the market. That will be now your assignment.

Which is more crucial HODL or Short Trading ?

Both are good, but short trading has a higher risk.I do both when the market is in bullish time. I do short trading than HODL during the bullish. As it is now the market is in bearish time, I do more HODL than short trading.

[Kemarit]

Which is more crucial HODL or Short Trading ?

Really depends on a lot of factor, specially what's the current sentiments of the market. It's much difficult to short or intra day trading during bear market, not unless you really know what you're doing. I'm not saying you can't make money shorting in bearish trend, however, if you don't have the experienced to explore it, I'm sure you won't make a profit and in worst case scenario, you might lose at the end, so the risk factor grows by many folds in a bear market, just saying.

Which is more crucial HODL or Short Trading ?

I think its more crucial to do holding especially if you hold good token. I think do you mean by short trading is the scalping which you will buy it low and you will increase the price so you can earn income in every trade. I think short trading is for the people who are professional in th field of trading so if you are newbie in this field you will do the holding.

Which is more crucial HODL or Short Trading ?

In terms of high risk level, obviously short trade is the one of course. While Hold is much more safest things to avoid risk as long as you choose the right and potential coins as well. Because if you choose the wrong coins to hold that is very much crucial due to you are holding but nothing a piece of shit coin.

Which is more crucial HODL or Short Trading ?

Hold and short trading are very crucial in terms of investment. Its hard to decide what will you choose because both of them will have chance to help you to gain good and high income. However, both of them have also risk especially if the price of that token goes down. Just think wisely if you do not want to lose money.

[coinhunt]

Short-term trading is as profitable as risky and requires more efforts, skills, and knowledge from you. Holding is easier and it is not that time-consuming. It requires only patience from you. In fact, you can combine these ways of earning money. Holding is a good strategy, but it brings profit only when the crypto market is bullish. Trading allows you earning money regardless of the market situation. Margin trading service (https://cex.io/margin-trading) which provides CEX, works for both price growth and price fall. It allows increasing your profit significantly, but don’t forget about the risk.

If someone wants to trade he must have good knowledge of trading because short trading is risky on the other hand hold coin is safe if you keep patience for the right time to sell. I love both of them though but to trade needs experience and knowledge of good analysis the market.

IMO, it's depend on what type of trading you're in.
In crypto, Holding may the best option because I'm the prove of succession that I can earn massive profit just holding over 4 years.

I don't think there is any form of trading that doesn't deal with taking risks per se,be it short or long term,its just that short term trading requires one to trade actively and also needs experience to carry out effectively
But hodling is basically easy to do,but you run a risk of selling for lower than you bought

[Reid]

You are asking about crucial then it is short term trading.
HODLing is thr safest way for me. I dont know about others though who have bad experiences.

I tend to put a sell order which is double the amount of what the selling price is and just let it be. I know it is risky too since anytime a trading website could close or be bankrupt.
Both are crucial too if there is a bad timing. But if you bought it a cheaper price then I think you are good to wait.

[cafechino]

i think short trading is risky so holding is best strategy for current situation and invest on good coins and hold those for few weeks more.

Which is more crucial HODL or Short Trading ?

Short trading or the others called it day trading is a time consuming trading as you need to always monitor and be updated of your assets performance. Also you need to learn on how to ride with the market flow with a perfect timing so that you will not lose your investments, in short day trading is very risky. Unlike HOLD or long term trading that as long as you choose the most potential assets which are very promising then the chances to lose your investment is low compared to short trading.

[Charlie3]

holding is better option , you can make money in shorting but  risk , as 2019 many are predicting markets will start up move again   

[Timmzzy]

Which is more crucial HODL or Short Trading ?

One have to stay out from trading now because the market is to Scarry and 70% not cool to sell off instead buy more at the dip for a hold.

[EdenHazard]

The price of bitcoin is back down by 12% in one day, indicating that getting profit through trading is not as easy as one might think. Unless you are someone who is good at predicting bitcoin prices either through technical analysts or fundamentals. If you can't predict with both or you don't have much time to see the price movement it's be better you choose the long term hold, short term hold can be interpreted as trading.
