Trading or investment! What's your take?

[gabbie2010]

I ask this questions severally what's your reason why you chose trading to be better off than investment? What's the major risk involved, the challenges expected of you?

I choose trading because l tend to earn profits more quicker than investment which I believe is usually a long term perspective before a reasonable profit can be earned meanwhile to avoid taking a high risk in trading I only traded with 5% of total portfolio while aiming 1:2 risk to reward ratio.

Traders always wants to said when am trading I have time to watching over what am doing, I practically watch over the market either against my risk or for risk taken.

Yes I have enough time to analyze the chart watch out for trading opportunities as well as learning and gaining more trading skills whenever I am done for the day thus to add up my experience which I believe is more preferable to investment, in case of incurred loses I usually scan through the reason for such losses.

The best bet is trading Bitcoin however it is highly risky and not for every Tom Dick and Harry, however a newbie is expected to start with investment first thereafter if time permits such a newbie can start learning how to trade Bitcoin of course there are plenty available trading resources online, however it will take a lot of efforts and time to consistent in profit earning.

I have reason deep to understand cryptos to a point but nothing seem to make different, in this last week, I have done a lot of reading to accumulates more ideas, gained radical knowledge of the market. Often time I met saying I'm into trading I don't do investment, on the other some I'm into investment, trading is on a very high risk demands. I ask this questions severally what's your reason why you chose trading to be better off than investment? What's the major risk involved, the challenges expected of you? Traders always wants to said when am trading I have time to watching over what am doing, I practically watch over the market either against my risk or for risk taken.
Trading can be much expected in price, you can earn enough if the market favour you, you chose when to close your open trades.

Over to you investors, they will said trading is rigorous and difficult to navigates through, trading incurs too much losses that's why I prefer to fix my money as investment watch it grow with due time, and if the market falls I can decided to take my money but the good thing is that I don't have to stress myself.

I think trading is the best option. Investing is very patient and tiring and mentally exhausting work. I have been investing since December 2021. Till date my money is stuck. My 2000 dollar reduced to 400 doller. dollar. Then I started trading. In three months I have made good profit. I buy for short term and sell when I get proper profit And I am tension free.so for in my openion trading is better then investing.

Investing will lead to trading, so if you can be more good in investing, that will also mean you can be more profitable in trading too.  However, not all are gifted like this. Some just excel in investing, but fail in trading, and others are vice versa. So my suggestion, never complicate yourself in a certain thing that you are not comfortable of doing. But if you’re good at both, it’s a bonus. That will make you earn bigger profits in time.

[Nazmul012]

It will help you to earn more if you already learned how to trade and gained knowledge about where to invest. The advantage is, you can't make big profit within overnight but what is possible with trade. Trade is a way that helps you increase your capital continuously. Thus you can invest more than before. Thats why i try to choice both but i prefer investment Over trade but I'm still learning

Basically the two methods are investing and trading returns at the level of risk faced and incurred by users or investors, both have different understanding and level of behavior.
1. Small risk investment, except in terms of price reductions, but if you choose a potential crypto like Bitcoin, chances are that the risk of loss is small.
2. Trading, it has a high risk understanding, basically the user must have knowledge in trading in the crypto market.

The two methods have different options, but for me investment is a good choice, especially when the crypto market is in a bear market. I don't have to worry too much when it comes to losses.

[coinerer]

I think that trading is like the first stage of investing. It is quite difficult to invest without knowledge of the market, this aspect is also worth considering. But if you have knowledge of the market, you are already much more likely to succeed. At least that's what I would recommend doing.

Trading is like a business where a trader buy and sell a coin or token regularly and take profit and investment also should be in earning purpose. Investment is always long term but trade is both short term and long term.  An investment aims to make huge profits but in trading, small profits are also taken. So although the purpose of trading and investment is the same, there is a difference in mindset.

[Hamza2424]

Who said that?
trading is better than the Inestment I think the sentence itself is wrong because you can't make a profit by trading as far a long-term investor can make because in day trading or whatever your trading timeline is you will face 30 to 70 40 to 60 or even 50 to 50 loss to profit ratio. On the other hand, an investor seems to be free of such results. In trading you need to spend full time n the market at the same time while you are a long-term investor you need an initial strong analysis and the outcomes can even reach 100x of the investment with luck. At the same time, trading doesn't have such huge profit potential.

Trading cant be compared to the long run investments because both are highly different approaches.

[harizen]

Self-preference indeed. Try to find your own forte.

Either trading or investment, it depends on our interest and eagerness to pursue those. Aside from that, knowledge plays a big role. Not because we saw someone successful on either trading or investment, we can have the same result. Damn, always be serious and study all the associated risks on either of those.

As responding to the subject, I prefer investment over trading but it doesn't mean I won't try both.

[cute nmp]

In terms of crytocurrency I personally prefer investing more than trading, have made much profits investing in altcoins than I have ever made in my trading journey. Though it is very important to have trading skills as an investor cause it will help you in knowing when to invest and when to exist and take profits. Overall, investing is a lot more easier for me.

[Botnake]

You know, you need to learn to invest first before you decide to trade. Starts with the basic first before you proceed into a much riskier source of profit. And when you think you’re good at both, then you could have both investing and trading for you to gain and earn more so you can benefit the most. However, know that there’s no guarantee that once you’re good in investing, you will also be successful in trading. These two are still very different. So you have to stick on where you find it easier to be profitable than to keep trying hard and all you gain are just failures and losses on your part.

This is what we called finding the place where we think we can perform so well. Because if we are not good at trading, it was very impossible that it will give profit compared to investing. If someone showed us his huge profit in trading we can't just simply think also that we can be like him as well because that will depend on us.

For me, either of the two, both of them are profitable but that still depends on how we manage our funds.
 -skill. knowledge, capital - these are the factors that would affect the result whether it was trading or investing.

[SOKO-DEKE]

In order for me to reduce my risk on both sides, I'd like to combine both trading and investment but preferably I will go for investment because trading very risky, it also requires a lot of knowledge, time, and dedication, and with that  all this I can say trading is not for everyone.In contrast to investing, which requires which you can start with little knowledge and again investment doesn't even require time.trading is difficult to do unless you have the necessary requirements.I will choose investment for all of these reasons.

With investments, I can spend more time on other activities and don't have to constantly worry about my money. Time is the most crucial consideration I prefer investment.

well, we don't know if someone will be more inclined to investing or trading, but both ways are proven to be good at increasing income. Apart from that, from investing and trading, both of them also have examples of successful people, so it depends on our choice.
Besides that, instead of being confused about investing or trading, it would be better if we could combine the two. we don't know where the best potential is when we only choose one of them. each person will give different results depending on their respective techniques and strategies.

[LUCKMCFLY]

My take between investing and trading is that for one to stay with what is working for you. Do not say that your friends are doing trading and it's working for them so, you'd join them. And when it doesn't work you keep moving.
 My take is that you should be patient, observe, study and know what your strength and weakness are with regards to both of them and then when you have found out, play to your strength.

It's not bad, but there are also certain points that should be strengthened, for example, if the person is quite patient and doesn't care about what is said in the news, I think that his nature is clearly towards investment, but if he is a person that all the time he is aware of each market movement, it is possible that his vocation is market speculation and there it is something very extensive, because he can specialize in various market speculations, such as intraday, scalping, among others, in change the investment is to put money and wait.

[MFahad]

Some times trading is good and some times holding is good.When market fall or get crash then have to invest on top coin or token for long time. I believe it will be profitable  and will give good return. Such as i bought some token and coin in deep and i will hold it for long time. I will wait for bull market. Some times trading give profit but i think holding is best. Because i am huge profited fron long time investment. 

actually both are beneficial but it depends mostly on the desire of a person that in which thing he is good, sometimes people earn large sum of money with trading and sometimes people who hold for longer time become unable to earn due to lack of understanding and patience. Holding is better but not for those who cannot wait more for the better results and also for those who don't have an extra amount of money for saving but use money of daily uses.

The choice between trading and investment depends on one's personal preferences, risk tolerance, time availability, and expertise. Some individuals may find trading exciting and enjoy the hands-on approach, while others may prefer the relatively passive nature of long-term investment. It's essential to thoroughly educate oneself about both approaches, understand the associated risks, and consider your own skills and circumstances before deciding which path to pursue.

before choosing between the two, it is better to understand the characteristics between trading and investing, so that we can determine which one to choose. for me choosing both would be better, especially for trading, if later I become a pro trader, then I can meet my daily needs from trading results, and the results from investments can be used as savings. it is not easy to trade, because it has complex problems. but I think enjoying the process will be better, and when it's time to retire, we can still make daily money from the trading business. most people who fail to trade because they give up, of course we can take lessons from all of that, because the learning process is not in a short time

That also means that even if you’re good in investing, it won’t give the same positive result in trading. Investing is risky, but trading is more risky and complicated so you can’t expect to become successful and profitable from trading easily. That’s the reason why a lot of us here just settle for investing alone and leave trading for those professionals in it. Otherwise, trading will only waste your money and effort especially if you’re not really capable to succeed on your trades.

Both are risky but they do have that different level of risks which is something that should really be realized on someone who do really tend to make out some engagement whether on investment or making up some trading. If you could be able to bare up with the risk then it would really be just that fine, it is really just that a matter of preference on which place you would be seeing yourself to be able to bare up with the risks.
We do have our own choices to make and actually we could do both things as we do like. We can trade and the profits made would be put up into investment which would be holding up for long term.
With this then you could really be possibly on having a double benefit if things turns out to be good. This is why it would really be just depending on you on how you would really be handling
out your investment or trading decisions.

One things for sure in regarding about the target is on having that benefits on getting profits in due time but of course dealing with these things cant really be that so simple.

Trade is a way that helps you increase your capital continuously. Thus you can invest more than before. Thats why i try to choice both but i prefer investment Over trade but I'm still learning

You are right, trading helps increase your funds or capital, but that's only when you are good at trading. But you (@Nazmul012) forgot to also add that trading is also a means of losing your capital in some market conditions, but not just that; whether it's a professional trader or a newbie, losses must surely be encountered, but for just investing, you have all your tokens stored in your software or hardware wallet for more security purposes. Only when you sell cheap, that's when you loss.

There is this common principle I derived: "Most traders are holders, but not all holders are traders." It's not yet a proven fact, but there are quite a few Bitcoin traders who specifically have some Bitcoin they are storing in their wallet, which they don't use to carry out their trade. Some times, when they make a profit, they send some Bitcoin to that special Bitcoin wallet for future storage, but logically, not every Bitcoin holder is a trader because trading is so stressful to them that it will only result in them losing their Bitcoin, so they don't engage in trading.
