Day trading or Long term

[GeorgeJohn]

So I have been trying to wrap my head around which is a better option, day trading crypto or buying for long term keep.
While they both have their pros and cons, they both come with a form of risk and they are meant to generate profit.
The major difference between them is that day trading tend to make profit from small market volatility, while hodling make profit from the bigger change in crypto value.
  Day trading involves more techniques, self discipline and rational decision making.
Which do you prefer and think is better

If you don't know too well about trading or you are still learning of trading I will encourage you to ahead for investment neither short-term investment or long-term investment, because the risk measure in trading is higher than the risk measure in buying and holdling of bitcoin, so I know quite well that holdling of bitcoin for long-term will be of profitable than someone who don't know or understand the rudiments of Trading, because holding of bitcoin or any coins can give you more profit indecence that it might take a longer duration than the person who is a beneficiary in trading, when you understand the norms or trading you may make a mega profit trading than someone who is venture into long-term investment because is making a constant profit and another thing is that the particular amount use for the investment.

Investment is all about risk, so neither you make profit or you loss during the process, both long-term investment which involves buying and holdling of bitcoin or any coins for long-term, trading can wape your capital within a short period when you have not understand the protocols of trading, so none of them is assured that you can make a consistent profit, so both have advantages and disadvantages measure.

everyone has their way of determining this. I personally do both. but I don't trade that much at the moment. only when I want to trade or there is a certain event. because I have felt which between trading and holding is better for me.
maybe the situation is different for other people. where some like trading rather than holding assets for the long term. Some considerations are certainly taken into account. but some do both simultaneously. and those who probably do daily trading and long-term investments have a pretty good focus.

Bitcoin price is past $50K. If $49.8K is currently the trading price, then a return to $50K is very close.
The market is experiencing quite promising things to look forward to Bitcoin's new ATH which is likely to occur unexpectedly. There are no altcoin graphs that are red, all have increased due to Bitcoin experiencing an upward price spike.

In reality, doing daily trading is not bad, but being a holder is better if we analyze what is happening lately. Holders who choose not to trade daily really feel the positive impact compared to traders who choose daily trading apart from the necessary techniques and strategies.

It is really that standard that on the time that Bitcoin do make out some bullish sentiment or just simply having that increasing price then it would really be tending to pull up most coins in the market on
which this had been a typical thing that we do have in this market and if you are someone who do really make out those active trades then you could really be able to make yourself having that kind of advantage
knowing about those movements on which we know that if the market do goes up then there would really be a particular time that it would really be going down on which it would really be just that
wise that you should really know on what are the things that you must do to take advantage such movement. We do know that this isnt something that you could really be able to know on whats ahead.
So risks taking would really be the main issue here on each individual on which not all people or investor would really be having the guts on doing so and just simply choosing up on holding instead
rather than on making some active trades.

Well, long-term trading does not exist, maybe you are talking about investing as just buying today and holding it waiting for the perfect price to sell it. While day trading means doing a buy and sell every day, may we have to hold but never takes too long because holding just happens when sudden drops happen where a trader waits for the recovery but this does not often happen.

Choosing day trading is good if we are good at trading as well. It is indeed more profitable than long-term investment but it is stressful.
Choosing which one is better will depend on our capability and risk appetite as we know that day trading is quite riskier than just investing.

It depends on your personal goals and targets and you can't say which one is better because both are good but both are used for different financial goals and targets and based on different kinds of knowledge and experience. And, there is no restriction for anyone, which means that a person can do both if they know they can afford to do it and have enough knowledge and experience to sustain them both.

If you have enough funds and resources along with enough knowledge and experience, you can buy some assets that you will hold for the long term and can use some of your funds to do day trading to keep earning small percentages of profit based on the initial capital.

Most people these days are doing both, on one side, they are buying and holding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and on one side, they are scalping certain assets to get short-term gains.

For now I choose trading per day. Because for day trading, it's like jumping right into the fast-moving currents of the market, taking advantage of the fact that crypto is very unpredictable. So, you right, it does take more skills, focus, and making choices. For me, there is no problem making a small profit and buying again at a low price and doing it repeatedly
And, of course, for earn short profit or making money from small changes in the market, I think you have to be stay screen almost all the time, though, to keep an eye on market trends. Also, don't forget that it can be very difficul

[Questat]

You are just comparing day trading and investing OP. When asking which one is more profitable, well, the answer will depend on - the trader and investor itself.

But for me,  I could say that day trading is quite making some good money as we can possibly earn some profit every day which if all accumulated and counted, can be a bigger amount to generate compared to the earnings we got from holding for a few months. But, this won't generalized as this just happens to traders that we can say are performing well, those so-called pro-traders. But if we choose to be safe at least, investing should be in our minds.

Risks must be taken whether big or small. The courage to take risks depends on how each individual carries out crypto market activities. For experienced investors, the courage to take risks on Bitcoin investments is not a difficult thing to do, except for other coins that are not as strong as Bitcoin.

Experienced Bitcoin investors only think about the chance of Bitcoin reaching the highest price. As long as they think the current price is still far from the predicted next all-time high price, they are still not afraid to buy courage.
In contrast to individuals who use Bitcoin for daily or short-term trading. Maybe this situation makes them overwhelmed in monitoring market prices.

I think you are dreaming of getting rich very quickly which is why you are so excited about trading. Actually both are risky but trading is generally riskier than investing. Because you can lose money completely if you trade without skill but if you invest the amount of profit will not be much but the loss will not be much. But if you hold a good cryptocurrency like bitcoin you can profit and avoid losses. So learn about the bottom of the ocean and dive in.

Day trading and regular trading both come with inherent risks. As you rightly pointed out, whether you're engaging in short term or long term trading, there's always a level of risk involved. How effectively you manage these risks will directly impact the amount of profit you stand to gain. It's important to note that day trading, in particular, carries a higher level of risk compared to long-term holding. This heightened risk factor can be especially pronounced if you lack experience in the market, potentially putting your invested funds in jeopardy.

For those opting for long-term trading, a comprehensive understanding of how the market functions is essential to mitigate unnecessary losses. Successful trading requires a combination of experience, market comprehension, and a well defined strategy. If you're new to trading, it's advisable to start by using a demo account to familiarize yourself with the intricacies of trading without risking real money. Alternatively, if you decide to trade with actual funds, it's prudent to begin with a small amount that you can afford to lose while you gain experience and confidence in your trading abilities.

[JayTrain]

Personally, I lean towards long-term investing in cryptocurrency. In my opinion, it's a more stable and less stressful approach, allowing to benefit from the growth of the crypto market in the long run. Yes, day trading can bring quick profits, but it also comes with high risks and requires constant market monitoring. While both approaches have their pros and cons, I prefer the stability and confidence in the future that long-term investing provides.

[cakravothy]

If you want big and lots of profits, long term trading is better, not day trading or scalping. After purchasing, you can stake the coins you have to maximize the potential profit you can get. because when you stake the coins every day the number of coins you have will increase. But if you are good at analyzing the market, trading in futures or margin trading can actually make a lot of profit and get fast results. But if you're not good at analyzing the market, you won't make a profit but your capital will run out

[Out of mind]

Day trading and trading for long time are different if you want to earn daily then you must do day trading. Moreover, if you trade for long time, it can be a cause of loss for you, and if you trade for a short time, you can get profit, but it is also risky. Trading is essentially a risky trust where you have the highest chance of losing money so you should always start trading with caution. And if you plan for long term then I think its better not to trade but you have to invest it will be the best venture for you.

If you learn how to trade very well, you can make profits most of the times when you enter the market but many individuals don't know how to trade properly and this is the reason why they keep losing when they try to trade therefore they stay with buying some cryptocurrency and hold. Both day trading and long term holding is good. To decide which one you should be doing you have to know which one will work very well for you. I have tried the both and they're both good ways to make profits.

You can be trading and also make big profits when you combine the profits you have made from the same duration that you invested into holding. Trading is more risky when you don't know what you're doing and only gambling instead of trading. Many individual aren't trading when they say they're trading but are only gambling yet it works for them until they start losing due to lack of experience.

If trading was easy then majority of people would really be diving into this one but we know that this isnt something easy to be done.It would really be needing up some sufficient time and
efforts for you to be able to learn up such skills.On the time that you would really be deciding on diving into crypto trading then you would really be needing those steps for  you to be able to make yourself
that at least have a good grasps into it on which you would really be able to sustain and able to survive into this unpredictable space or market.

Day trading does require that active dealing with the volatility and long term isnt something that stressful but of course you would really be that needing that
having some goals on when you would really be making out those taking profit thing. Always set goals and its always important that you should really be just that investing
on the amount on which you can only afford to lose.

The issue with the question the OP brings is that depending on the skill level of the person in question the answer will change.

So if we were to compare the best possible performance by an expert trader and an expert investor, the trader will beat the investor every single time, however very few people can reach that level, and if we were to compare the performance of an average trader against an average investor, the investor should win this time around, and since most of us are probably average when it comes to our skills, this means that becoming an investor is a better choice for us.

Seeing any above the other is just about preference, what you stand for will determine which you are going to see as better than the other, but in the actual sense none is better than the other they are both good depending on what you intended to achieve from any, for those who has got a day job which literary takes almost all their time, they will not comfortably be day traders due to the fact that they wouldn't have enough time to stay on the chart but for those who do not have a day job, they can stay on the chart all day trading and WI will be able to make profit. But both of them can still stay profitable as traders regardless of their trading time.

Both day trading and hodling are profitable but it's safer hodling than it is trading and it's also profitable hodling especially when you have got a good capital with which you are holding so which ever suits your preference becomes your best option.

If you are faced with the question of what is better - intraday trading or hodl, then it is better to consider all options. There is trading within a day, trading within a week, a month. There is even trading within a year or a couple of years. There is investment with a long period of holding a position. And there is HODL. There is no clear definition of this concept, but in general, HODL is similar to investing. You hold your cryptocurrency or other asset class for the long term, wait patiently through any drawdowns, and hope to eventually make a paper profit someday. This paper profit can be translated into real profit when the asset is sold.
     You should prefer the type of trading that best suits your character and worldview. You can make money in both cases, the main thing is not to commit violence against yourself.

Option which one best trading between day trading or long term trading not only depend on character some one with trading but also how financial supported or not, some trader make trading as main job and get profitable in short term or day trading because they don't have side or main job helped them to earn money every day or every month. Other side many trader supported with stable financial and have many source income will make them easily how to be long term trading without take care their financial condition.

For hodl seems get similar meaning with investing and I don't think many people have strong hand keep holding their assets for long term, looking with how much profitable and potential earn trough long term holding but not support yet with good financial its difficult choose for some one has decision for long term trading.
