Trading vs investment

[Masplanc]

Investors trade too and they are traders. And all traders invest too. It's the duration of there investment of traders that only classifies traders. Which is long and short term traders

That is the way for us not to sell at a loss or because of panic seeing the market price is getting down. The investment can give us a profit in the future, especially if we hold potential coins such as bitcoin, ethereum, bnb, and else as those coins prices can increase. юю

If the price of the coin you hold falls, then you will still experience Fomo due to the fact that you did not sell it earlier at a better price. And you will not worry less, despite the fact that this is a long-term investment. In this case, it is necessary to stay out of the market and focus on another occupation.

OP, you will do well to edit the error in the title of this thread – Taking vs investment. I believe you meant Trading. Having said that, let me quickly make a note on that. Trading is active Investment while Investment is dormant Trading. That's the simple way I look at it. Those who invest are also into business just like those who trade. It's the same way that some investors buy Bitcoin and hodl while others buy and trade them. People can lose money both ways. What matters is finding a nice place of entry and knowing when to exit the trade or investment. Without that knowledge, it will all result in loses for either option.

Types of Trading:
We have basically 5 types of traders

• scalpers
• swing trading
• Day trading
• position trading
• Arbitrary Trading

Whatever the last option on that list –Arbitrary –  means is new to mean, except you meant Arbitrage Trader. And I believe that's what you wanted to write? Well, for me, I like the Swing, Day and Position Trading plans.

of several types of trading, if we decide to invest long-term, indeed we must be able to control emotions when prices decline. and because our initial goal is to invest, we don't need to worry and don't panic sell, it's only a matter of time, where we wait for fomo to happen. Moreover, what we hold are major coins, it is different if we invest in new projects, of course it will be more risky

If you've not been effective with day trading, do not hesitate to quit with it already and have your focused somewhere like investing.

For that, it depends on the current status of that person. It's really hard to make good winning stats on day trading and even professionals aren't having perfect trades too but if there's a seriousness of pursuing profits from day trades, then try it even losing. It will take time and that's expected.

Try giving it a half a year or over a year test run and see if day trading does make sense to continue or not. Why that long? To be able to experience every trial, challenge, and difficulty along the way.

This will depend on the person if he's too eager with day trading but that would be my action if it's not that effective to me anymore. I won't waste my time on it if I find myself throwing my time and money on it.
But as they say, if there's a will, there's a way, and if those people that are too eager and keep trying and trying again. I just wish them all the best and they might find themselves becoming one of the better traders in the market.

I think regret is the correct word when you missed selling the tokens for a better value and watch it drop further. Despite knowing the value of the tokens is expected to grow, it is hard to contain yourself.

I have experienced this myself. Actually, when doge's price was 80 cents or something like that, I felt greedy and didn't sell them because I wanted a dollar for each doge. As the price fall flat, I regretted my decisions a lot and ended up selling around 35-40 cents later.

The biggest problem was that doge is a meme coin and it was hard to see the futuristic value in it.

[Pasa32]

I'm a day trader and i learned a lot from the trading market or even I analyze the coins and their price to a range, but this is only my predictions and in trading no one knows the exact amount or we can say the profit is always there. but we can predict, so, it would be better for day traders to make much profit as i had already make from only day trading.

I think that if the Doge price had reached $ 1, you would not have recorded a profit and moved the sale price higher again. Some people call this greed, but in fact it is a natural desire of any trader to get a bigger profit. And if we can sell coins on target zones, then in the case of meme coins it is difficult to do this, since the hype does not have target zones.

Of course there is a difference between trading and investing, personally I worked in both types, so it can be said that both of them have positive and negative advantages. For trading, your profits are simple and you need to sit long in front of the computer and monitor indicators and follow the daily analyzes, but you get quick profits (of course there are losses too).
As for investing, it requires patience and time, but at the same time, you will not have to sit in front of the computer screen for long, and you will not need to monitor the indicators daily. You buy a coin, then put it in the wallet and forget it for a long period of time, but most of the time the profit is great.
So if you are the type who likes to follow the news of cryptocurrency and sit in front of the computer screen for a long time, I advise you to trade, but if you do not prefer to sit long in front of the computer and have other business, investment is your preferred option.

Although weird sounding, but that's true. Traders just invest and divest their assets quicker while investors do the same slowly. Another key difference is that investors have the financial freedom to block their money in the market while traders thrive at rotating the funds and making active income. An investor would wait for months to get the best price for their assets while a trader will settle for smaller profits because they need the funds to rotate.

I always feel like investors have a gigantic advantage over traders in the crypto market because it's hard to predict the movement but easier to evaluate a project in the long term.

I am an investor but that does make me an expert? I would say no. But I've got the experience on what should I do during the bears and bulls. It is the factor that gives us an advantage because we know how to react and what shall be done especially if the market doesn't look good.
While some are in panic during the corrections, investors are acting accordingly through buying because we know what's going to be the next scenario after it.

Apart from the long-term benefits, what made you so choose to invest? while beginners like me who only rely on daily finances still have the needs of today's trading. Since you are at least a little experience in investing rather than trading, give me some tips on what factors to invest in in a simple and resilient way in bear market conditions.

People have different goals and desires so it is difficult to give a standard answer about why people become investors, it is obvious that one of the reasons is to make money, however if you really want to become a good investor then you really need to know in what you are investing in, this means that in the case of bitcoin you need to do everything that you can in order to understand bitcoin and why it is so valuable. and if you do this then it is going to be way easier for you to endure the bear market conditions that eventually appear in this market.

As long as you have strategies on whatever you are doing, you are fine day trading or what know the risk of it and once you are ok with that, you can start learning how to become an effective trader. Investing is good for long term hodler, they can afford to wait and they are willing to take the risk as well and I believe trader are also a hodler.

Most of us find ourselves in the position that we are forced to retrain from a trader to an investor. This happens when the coin has fallen very much in price, but we have no desire to fix the loss, and we continue to hold it until the price of the coin recovers. And in some cases, we become eternal investors, since some coins have no prospects for price recovery.

As I've tried to become a trader, it finds to be stressful than just an investor. Many times it happens that a trader becomes a long-term holder because of a huge dump happen and not being able to sell them at lose, I certainly experienced this one and I realize that traders will often lose than just an investor.

This really matters our choice, some just to think that trading will give them a good profit but just to surprise that later on, they get back to investing only. This could picture out that how hard is trading especially when you don't have deep knowledge in the crypto market.

When it comes to trading or investment, they are two very different ramifications, since market trading or speculation usually takes advantage of all market movements, as well as buying and selling higher or selling and buying lower, some combine it with margin. leveraged trading.

Others just prefer to buy and wait until the currency or stock rises, particularly this is something that only people decide where to go, if by market speculation or investment, some think that you can do both, but there are We have to have a lot of focus and follow the same rules that we impose on ourselves, we must do it because it is the only way that money is not lost, but I think that knowing that it is better goes very according to the personality type of the person .

In this case, a lot depends on how much time one or another trader can devote to trading. If a market participant has a main place of work that does not allow him to spend a lot of time in front of the terminal, then it is obvious that he will be engaged in investing, which does not require a lot of time every day.

Trading is quite difficult, investing is incredibly easy, you forgot that part in your text. I mean trading could be a lot more profitable if you know what you are doing, instead of holding you are buying when it is lower and selling when it is higher and if you keep doing that then you are going to make a great profit. However realize that "sitting in front of a computer" is literally meaning you have to be working very hard to make that profit and could still end up losing money doing it. It is very very tough and difficult, but what about investing long term?

You just buy and hold and do literally nothing else, you just buy, one action, that's it, the end. This is why I always liked holding as the greatest way to make money, you both do nothing at all to make money, and you still end up in profit, it is like a dream come true for many of us, making money by doing nothing.

As i'm a day trader and i had been following the best trading strategies and earning a lot from trading. But the main thing is patience whether someone is doing day trading or they are investing in log term coins they also needs patience in selling and buying the coins as well, so it would be better to do it like a business not gambling.

[Hendra gunawan]

I prefer investment because investment does not need to keep checking the price of our coins. While trading takes a long time and must have good skills. If we are not smart in buying coins we can experience losses. While the investment risk is smaller and the profit is also large.

All the trading format mentioned is welcome and many times as a traders,  you perform one or more of these trade format.  There is no best format for trading,  you just trade what could favour you at any giving period!  Arbitage is a trade where you take advantage of two or more different prices on exchange, swing trade,  could happen without expecting and the trading possibilities are endless!

[Yatsan]

Mostly new people who get to engage into the crypto market and get what it takes to earn through this are having a hard time understanding and differentiating trading and investment and are mixing up the context which brings up a misconception that those two are just the same but differs on terminology being used. There are people who prefer trading rather that investment and vise versa and other people who takes both since both can be beneficial with different level of risks due to uncertainties since we are working on a highly volatile market.
