Day trading or Long term

[cryptoWODL]

Although there are risks involved in both day trading and long term trading, I feel that day trading is more risky than long term trading. Many of us may think that trading is very easy but it is not. Trading is very risky and we must become experienced about trading. If we are not experienced about trading then we might face huge losses by trading in wrong coins.

Day trading is a short-term trading style. A day trader must have very good analytical skills otherwise he cannot succeed in day trading. Moreover a day trader uses various technical tools. Day traders are called day traders because they trade during the day. I think long term trading has less risk and less loss. Most of those who trade long-term trade in Bitcoin. Long term investment is suitable for those who have small business job or other high income. If someone invests for a long time in Bitcoin then he can definitely benefit from Bitcoin.

Both day trading and long term trading are risky.You have to be very skilled to do day trading.Because it is necessary to understand the market risk and trade in a short time.That is the amount of risk is relatively high.Because risk assessment in day trading is somewhat difficult.But in case of long term ready car the amount of risk is less.It is invested and traded for long periods of time.It is easy to assess risk.So most of the people have long term credit.People who do day trading are used to excessive risk.And they are always under a pressure.But long term trading is less stressful.

The risk is so high for day trading since you can possibly lose some huge amount of your capital on single mistake made and we are prone to encounter those FUD,FOMO or anything that can affect our decision so if we are not prepared nor have enough patience to deal with this then I guess its better to gain a lot of knowledge first so that we can avoid to lose due to unwanted circumstances and can decide for ourselves when doing trading decisions.

Although long term holding have risk but not the same when you do daily trades since you just need to wait for the set time before you decide to sell and you provably not get affected on any current happening in the market especially if you already set your target and intend that balance for long term.

I have made comparisons several times, and not only with day trading, but also with medium-term trading, and I can say that they will always lose to a hold (long-term trading, in my understanding, is a hold). It may make sense to trade when the market is in the accumulation phase in a bear market, but in a growing bull market, there is no point in trading, you just need to choose a good coin and wait for profit, this will bring a better result than trading.

Anything about crypto is risk is just you to get the analysis on how to minimize your risk so that you won't be losing anytime, trading is very good because he brings funds when you are lucky and get knowledge on it because sometimes even if you understand everything about trading when you are not lucky you will still be losing, that is why I have not engaged myself very well in trading because I have not gotten enough knowledge that I need to start trading am just learning it gradually, am just focusing on long term investment because that is the only why I think that will minimise my risk very well, without losing many money and you most profitable on it if is long term.

I am not against day trading because this is also an effective way to make profits if you have trading knowledge and skills. But I like your thinking, during the rising season we should limit transactions and focus on long-term holding because profits will be higher.

I'm the one who made this mistake. I thought the bullish season hadn't come yet and there was still plenty of time for me to accumulate the projects I loved. I started taking some capital to day trade and with the goal of increasing the number of coins I was holding. But as a result, bitcoin skyrocketed and pulled the market higher, I missed out on some of my favorite coins and now have to buy them at a higher price.  I only earned a few percent on each daily transaction but the value of those coins increased 5 to 6 times. If I didn't use trading to optimize my coin holdings, my profit today would be huge. And this is just one of the disadvantages of trading compared to holding during the bull season, holding during the bull season is the method that brings the greatest profits.

yes everything is risky even when you are silent in your life that does not do anything it will have a risk in life, in daily or monthly trading is much more risky daily, especially the trade you do is trading futures or binary it is very risky, you will get a safe trade if you do spot trading, after all crypto growth and price increases on a monthly basis have increased since Q4 last year, it shows long-term trading is very effective than daily that maybe you can lose your money, but if it is done with spot trading just need to wait for the price to return and you will not get a financial loss, it may be a matter of time.

I think long term investment is better, as day trading comes with high risk. But the profit in day trading is also high. But in day trading, as there is profit, the possibility of loss is very high. In that case the investment is low-risk. If you can invest for the long term and hold for a long time, you can make a lot of money from the investment as well. Only the investment should be for long term. And never stop holding in panic. But you will be able to make a lot of money from holdings as well. I always hold using DCA method and I think long term investment is best.

Long team investment give big profit but you have to hodl that coins for a long period of time before it will bring exactly the profit you want but short term investment will be bringing you little profits that will make you to buy again when the price go down.

 But is not easy to hodl long as a trader but if you can make up your mind to hodl it long for the bull run to come before you can trade your coins, it will make you an expert in crypto trading which is the strategy some traders are using in the market to take big profit from their long trading.

You did the right thing in my opinion that you didn't get engaged with trading that much when you didn't have enough knowledge about it. Most people don't care about this thing but it is a mistake, one shouldn't get into trading if they don't have enough knowledge about it because that would only make them lose their money in the long run how can you sustain an activity that you know nothing about?
People who don't know much but still want to earn profit should make investments in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin because you don't need to do much analysis or anything to do that.

It is very good for us to know what we are doing and the kind of trader that we are without going too far from our limit.
Since we are many ways we could gamble and try to make money for ourselves, it is very important we keep doing the right things to make sure that we get good results from the market. We can always make money from trading if we know how to gamble and make money for ourselves without having to give someone money to trade for us, we need to keep doing that with rewards.

Man, what worked for me is to be a long-term investor. It could also work for you as it had worked for the majority of us here. If you can't handle the risk that the day trading has and you're unsure what it is going to be daily then you have to stop that. I do believe that there are great traders that have chosen to be day traders and then they're also investing to the market for their long term holds. So, what's the better option? I don't know what will work for you as you need also to check yourself on the span of your goal staying on this market.

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

Trading and holding like you said here is different, since with hodling the time you spend to hold is indefinite it just depends on when said holder want to withdraw their money for any reasons. But in trading, you need to determine when to buy/sell it since the profit depends on your decision making in here especially if you are a day trader where if you miss a single second the price and your decision would be different.

Long term hodling is my choice currently since I don't really have much time to check any news and updates regularly for day trading unlike long-term hodling where I just check the news occasionally and keep DCAing.

day trading only worked for people that are experienced enough with trading that they are used to the mentally exhausting activity of always monitoring the market and also predicting future prices based on the chart, personally as well i find that to be difficult and maybe just like you find long term investing to be the most viable out of all.
after all, what we need to do is just buy when low then just wait it out as we have known the usual price cycle for the bitcoin and altcoin its really easy to know when we can make entry and until what prices we can eventually dump our coin.
the only disadvantage though if the market suddenly bearish that it dumps 80% like last year, nobody predicted that and it will definitely causes the holder to be losing their unrealized profit.
but as far as we buy at the lowest possible, we definitely got the advantage if compared with other people out there.
at least if it dumps so hard worst case scenario is that we are losing the profit but not the initial capital.

You must take risks, if you consider trading as the highest risk and if you refrain from trading as the highest risk, you will not be able to make a profit. Trading is risky but it is natural for people to take risks, you need to master trading in such a way that trading becomes easy for you. When you try to know enough about trading and when you have enough knowledge about trading you will not find it difficult at all but you will be able to trade very easily. Day trading requires you to understand the market well because since day trading is intended for short term, your objective will be to buy a coin at the right time and sell that coin at some profit. Try and keep learning about trading, hopefully you will find both long term and short term trading easy.

The entire system is risky but if you want to look at the risk, then you won't trade, and if it is about making money, then taking the risk and trading is better for me even with all the processes and the analysis. because, to me, holding might not have much risk compared to trading, but my problem with holding is that it takes a longer time to start making a profit, and the fact that the market is not even stable. And if I decide to hold, it is going to be a very huge amount of money so for now it is trading. Once in a while, you can make a profit from your trade and when I later decide to hold, I will continue my trading to make it for sustenance because you need money for upkeep.

You would really be the ones who would really be testing out on how things would work out for you whether you could be able to bare up with the risks or would really be able to stick on what suits you in.
There are individuals who could really be able to bare up with the risks and would continue specially on dealing up with risks since they do know that this is something that would really be worth if they would really be able to make it right. Although we do know that the higher the risks the higher the reward and this is where they would really be projecting themselves on targeting or something that set up the goal.

We do know that this is something that will depend into someone risk taking since not all people would really be risks takers on which there are ones who would really be skeptical
on which it causes for them to hesitate on taking up such decisions on which it would really be that a normal approach. Not all would really be sharing up on the
on the same mindset and sentiment on which they would be having on different approach.

[God bless u]

Yes it is less stressful but someone who does long term trading does not deserve to be called as a trader. Trading involves deep research, calculations and a wide range of guts. Now long term trading only requires money. You just invest it in any of the famous and we'll reknown coins then now or a bit later you'll get your profits.

Day trading requires a very handy skillset otherwise you'll run away from it like a deer runs away after seeing a lion. You lose your confidence and assets both if you're blunt in day trading.  So you need to be very careful. In short a success and skillful  trader is a good short term trader.

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.

The two is about timing. You can be a day trader in bull market and also be a long term trafer in bull market, some coins don't have fundamental news to give you daily profits, some will take one or two months before they spike before they give reach the potential level you want it to be sold. But let's use Bitcoin against USD as example: In a bear market, there is no way for you to daily trade and have a significant profit but as along term, you can gain something in a long term trading but you can make the both in bull market without any stress.

Your aim in trading should be learning how to trade, if you understand trading very well, trust me you will make a lot of money and you will know if you are to go by daily trading or long term trading because the time will always give you hint from your technical analysis if it's going to be favorable or not.

[R100K-Martin-Lunger]

Honestly, I dabble in both. But if you're new to the scene and have a low-risk tolerance, I would say stick to HODLing BTC or ETH or other reliable crypto like SOL. Short-term trading is certainly riskier, and you need to be willing to lose your investment to experiment with it. But it can also give high rewards if your market analysis is good and you know what you're doing. Ultimately, it's all about how much risk you're willing to take and what your investment plans are.

Yes trading is risky Because selecting coins in trading is a very difficult task. We can only select Bitcoin for long term investment but other altcoins will not provide a strong holding opportunity like Bitcoin. So I think day trading with altcoins is better. Altcoins can make big returns quickly and also lose big quickly so it needs to be monitored constantly. And if there is some profit, the coins should be sold immediately to avoid further dumping.  Because altcoins are quickly pumped and dumped quickly

I think the altcoin that are top 5 at least are pretty solid for long term holding, arguably, coin like solana and other are indeed does have more volatility if compared with bitcoin, but its good for long term still since their volatility isn't as bad as the lesser altcoin with lower market cap since there are so much trading volume that influencing the price with sell / buy definitely gonna take up some serious capital to begin with.
I personally have been holding for long term eth, sol, matic and they're are proven to be a good investment if we bought when the price was hitting very bottom.
but today, might not be a good investment anymore since they are generally already pumped by whales high enough though.
but to be honest sticking with bitcoin might be a good idea if you want stability, there's reaosn why the big investment fund company sticking with bitcoin for majority of their investments.
