Daytrading vs Holding

[awik p]

If one is a good trader and has enough capital, there's even no question whether to trade or to hold. Trading will give more gains.

Not always, it has been proven that holding may give you huge profit. Simple example is bitcoin itself, imagine if you buy few btc in the past when it was very cheap and you sell it when it is on its ATH. This give you so huge ROI.

The difference between daytrading and Holding is obviously about the time you spend for these two activities. You spend less time on holding but you need to wait long time to make decent profit. While trading on other side requires you to spend more time but you may get nice profit in short period of time.

right, it depends on the holder of the capital itself, between holding and trading, I think it's equally profitable, it's just up to the investor which one they prefer. especially in the world of cryptocurrencies, where price increases can occur drastically so we just have to take advantage of the bullrun moment if it happens

If you want long terms profit then holding is the best choice for you, because long terms profit are much as compared to short terms profit. And in other words if you want to get everyday profit and you can't wait for the long terms then daytrading will be a best choice for you. It depends upon the trader that what type of profit he wants to get.

The result will matter at your choice...
Holding are those who want a safer investment while trading is for those who can afford to lose their money every day.
Trading could be a long-term job, those people who live fully in trading could say it was not an easy journey for them but then, they will able to survive and surpass all the struggles because they want it and they are motivated enough.
If we don't have this kind of attitude, better to choose Holding, it gonna be an easier life for us.

I also think that doing both is going to be incredibly difficult and this is because you need two different skill sets that are completely opposite to each other, for example if you are a day trader then you need to take fast decisions and implement your trading strategy perfectly without any flaw, while a holder should not react to the small movements of the market and just accept that there are negative days, weeks and even months, as we can see the strategies run opposite to each other and doing both at the same time will be incredibly difficult if not outright impossible.

Does holding do need some separate skill set? You are just doing nothing when you are hodling this is why i dont see any problems if you do tend to do both things where you do have funds allocated
for Daytrading and you do have funds allocated or saved up for simply Hodling for the future possible gains.So you can actually do both if your time and funds permits you because it isnt really
that much difficult aside on day trading which it is something that everybody could handle out this is why majority is really ending up on holding because daytrading is something needing some skills
and experience throughout the market.

If holding was as simple as to do nothing then those that bought at the end of 2017 for 20k would not had any problem to keep holding their coins even with the crash to 3k, and by the way the fact that we saw such a huge crash comes from people not holding their coins, if the majority did then we would have never seen such a huge crash as we did back then, so it is obvious that holding your coins is more than to do nothing, it has to do with understanding at a fundamental level that the short variations of the price are not important and being able to look past them, something the majority have shown to be unable to do as the continuous crashes in this market indicates.

long term invesment actually give same return if we make daily trade. In daily trade we could take open many times and if we expert in technical analsisy it could give us alot profits. personaly long term more suitable for investors that lack of technical or fundamental analisys. hold is simple strategy till its price soar.

I used to trade on an almost daily basis, most times I made a decent profit, around 7-9% of my investment. There was only once that I took a relatively large loss when Elon Musk got into Bitcoin. This wasn't the reason why I stopped trading though, its volatility was causing me anxiety and stress, and preferred to just take a break and find something else. I might get back to trading in the future, but for now, I'm in DeFi and yield mining.

Now, I only hold a small amount of BTC, which is simply set aside and not being used.

It is true that it depends on each of us, for sure day trading is not as easy as we imagine. In addition to the very high risk of day trading,
day trading also requires excellent analytical skills in reading the market. Because we need to read the market every day, and with volatile
crypto prices that makes day trading not easy to do. Especially for beginners in the crypto world, I don't recommend trying day trading.
Because it is certain that beginners can lose all their money if they force day trading.

I agree with you holding is the safest option to profit from crypto, because we only need to buy potential coins and wait for the coins to rise
to the target we set. The problem is holding must have patience and use the extra money we have. Because it is possible to get profit from
holding takes a long time.

long term is always the best especially if you have a large amount of money to buy a potential altcoins in the market.
I am pretty sure in the end or in the future we could get a big profit savings. This procedure or methods has been
proven and tested to all type of long term holders. Though, day trade is also a good thing to grow our coins in a short period
of time as well.

[satriagedhe]

i think bynow that some exchange like binance add futures trading make trading can make profit even on bearish season, but it really depend on the people too, if they have much time to see the market trading will make more profit

Good in the short term but it will have a lot of loopholes in the long run as day trading activity always increases the challenge level with our working time, agree that the experience base will increase with this strategy but every day compete with such market, win may be small but loss is every time big, everyone's sharing is the basis for this result, almost all interest rates fluctuate very low while once lost will be the sum of all interest rates. Holding is more calculation on a big fight and not ambition on small battles every day, long time will allow for more complete preparation

Being both of options is really profitable, but you will need two basic knowledge and skills for that and it is difficult for me. As daily trader i must take opportunity fast without thinking over about it, i am selling and just sell it without no regret, and if im transform to be holder, i think i will dizzy consider this is worth or not.
So being daily trader still make me comfy until now, maybe along with time, ill be holder a bit as my investment.

all obviously have different skills and it could be that what you are experiencing is also experienced by many others, must decide whether to focus on one job that continues to be occupied or choose both to do. where it is clear that if you do both at the same time, there may be confusion in determining the same as you should act on what is the best.

what you do to focus more on being a day trader is of course a decision because you are used to it and have done it often. although in the current situation the market continues to be red which is clearly not so very profitable with day trading. but if practiced correctly even though the profit is small but routine will be the same as daily trading with moderate high traffic.
but investing is also not bad and the easiest to do but indeed there is no challenge to be able to make a quick profit because it depends on time.

This is something that people never consider but that it is quite important, very few people can day trade for long, some fail because they lose their money but even those that earn money cannot do it for long and it is precisely because of what you are mentioning, having to watch the markets every day and earn profits sounds great but once you begin to do it you realize how hard it is not only at a psychological level but the physical exhaustion is real as well, which means very few people can do it for long before getting tired of it.

[SFMHodler]

I've tried both, but for me daytrading is to nerve wrecking.

right, the first time after entering the market, of course people will feel tired either physically or psychologically. but over time we will start to be able to enjoy it, our job is only to analyze and place transactions by placing targets and stop losses, so after that we can do other activities and wait for the final result. different from holding we can be more relaxed

Actually, day trading or holding has its own advantages. I think it all depends on the situation, if it is possible to hold it then it will be better. Personally when the market is unstable I choose to do Day trading and I try to make a profit from it. But I also hold coins that I think have good prospects so I will wait until the price goes up even though it will take a while. So I did both and I think it's pretty good. I learn from experience and continue to learn so that I can become a successful trader or holder, where I can get big profits. Losses must exist because it has become one of the risks and it is true that we have to be more careful.

It's probably more than just the situation, it's more of a how are you as a person when it comes to investments because if you don't exactly know how you are for long-term or short-term then you will end up choosing the wrong thing of the two which is going to be unprofitable for you.

[coiner-88]

Daytrading is something you should have to manage the market on the dynamic way where does essentially implies that you would require time and appropriate exertion for you to manage unpredictability. It discover to be less secure and this makes a few group to outflank in exchanging yet rather to decide to simply hold as it were.

There is no doubt that there are many people that at first will find trading hard but then as they get used to it they will begin to get accustomed to and they will be able to make trading their main profession, but there are many people that despite being able to generate profits cannot do it anymore and that is because day trading is an incredibly exhausting activity, this does not mean that they will leave the markets completely behind and most likely they will become positional traders that only make a few trades each month.

And that also can result with a good experience and lesson if that person who ended up badly wants to take another try.

It's important to distinguish your focus on the market, as a day trader or a holder. Everyone can be an easy holder but not an easy trader since it's requiring more actions than the usual holding.
