Trading and long-term investing

[Rockstarguy]

I do not like trading because it has high risks and the possibility of losing money is high.

I which people can be honest and understand and have reasons why they dont need to go into trading , but they still force their self in trading to make profit in what they dont understand and not ready to go through the process of learning. It is better if you know you face the high risk in trading their is no point to go into trading. It is high time for people to understand what they are go in and if they are not knowledgeable to face the risk, it is better not to go In.

You must be prepared to face the potential risks, the risks that are involved in trading, if you are able to take this risk, have the ability to accept losses, especially in the first situation, then you can come to trading.
But if you do not have the money to lose, and if you want to achieve success in trading from the first situation, then you are wrong and there is a high possibility that you will have a negative situation from this.
Risk is in every matter, and before doing anything, you have to research about that matter and research the risks, then only if you are able to accept this risk or loss, then you should take the next step, otherwise if you do not have the ability or mentality, it is better not to proceed here.

Both are quite different though some folk still call investment trading , which like a common mistake in this space , Aslong you are dealing with longterm you are more of an investor. Cause you are holding in order to make something good in a long term . While there are different form of trading , but trading mainly about making profit with the market wave for short term gain .

Everyone should keep the difference between trading and investing clear, many people see investment and trading as one, but it is very important to understand the difference between these two concepts. Investing is a strategy of patience and long-term wealth creation, it will bring you a financial position after a long time, you should invest for this purpose, not for short-term success. On the other hand, trading is a strategy of making profits by taking advantage of short-term fluctuations in the market, these general points must be clearly understood by everyone.

The goal in trading is to make short-term profits, except if you're here for long-term trading. While the goal for investing is to increase its future profits by hodling it longer. Therefore, if you tend to become a trader,  you should be active monitoring the market most often, that is why it's more hassle and more risky from losses. But for those who never want to experience the risks in trading, just settle on investing itself. You will still be in the same level of profits if you can manage your investment well.

Well am not really a big fan of trading and it comes with alot of risks, emotions like it deal with mental health alot since you are always watching the market and that's what am avoiding. I rather prefer long term investments with the use of Dca funds like you said because it builds wealth with less emotional stress. It is slower but it gives peace of mind.

If you are going into trading, the first thing which you should know is the risk, you should know that trading is risky, that’s why you are suppose to take your time to learn about trading properly, don’t rush into it because if you do that, then you going to end up losing. So when  you going to start trading, make sure you start with little amount of money, don’t pump so much money into trading as a beginner because of the risk involved, the more you keep on understanding thing, the more you going to be increasing the amount you trading with.

I do also prefer long term investment, and I do encourage people to involve themselves in long term investment, instead of trading, but if you want to trade, it’s fine people are making money from trading, so anyone can do it, but they should take their time to learn, they can’t rush into it.

The problem is that if you try to explain to them about trading and Investment and their differences they won't give you a listening ear because they are already committed to short term profit which is why whenever you try telling them the benefit of long term investment they see it very common. The truth is I'm not against trading so whoever that think that trading is more suitable for them than long term investment then he have every right to do so.

To me, I feel that those who are into trading knows what they're doing and even though some people would want to do that as a result of wanting to make a quick profit, I will assume that they know what they're doing. If it is the risk of course they are already aware of it they are just doing all of that due to impatient.

Trading if forced will only harm the person because they are trading without understanding anything about it. They may be motivated by the words of influencers who only highlight the profit side but they don't see that trading is much riskier that if they underestimate it then they could lose all their money.

If someone wants to trade, they need to consider their finances, whether they can afford it, and understand how the market works, including fundamental and technical analysis, and proper risk management.

The trading market is dynamic and unpredictable. If traders fail to analyze the market and tend to trade like gambling, they will quickly lose all their money.

Everyone is free to follow the strategy of his choice i.e. short or long term. If someone feels that he is doing good with short term trading then he can continue with this strategy. We also need to understand that what works for you, may or may not work for me. After spending time and losing money in short term trading, I figured out that this strategy won't work for me and that's why I switched to long term investment that is less risky. The first thing we need to figure out is the right strategy that suits us and those who find it early in their crypto journey get good profit.

That's fact, when you hold you gain more profit than a daily trader, to be rich in crypto is to hold for long term, but if you want to enjoy your daily life go into trading,you will still make money that will survive you for the moment but you won't be wealthy in crypto by trading, you can only be wealthy through holding.  Hodling doesn't required any knowledge then knowing the basic of buying and selling. But in trading you have to learn many things and attend to so many training to be able to succeed, because it's a risk business. 

Trading is stressful and time consuming, you have to be in chart all day to monitor your chart. But in holding you can just buy and log out your app till the next Five years to be able to gain more than a daily trader. Holding only required patient and willingness to buy more in dip market. To be I can trade but I only want to hold because of my daily schedules., I won't have time to monitor chart.

The advice you have given to do short term is very risky for almost all new investors. Short term trading is an alternative way to lose money for the inexperienced. Rather I would say that if an investor is new to the crypto space, then lure him into long term investment. Everyone wants to get rich in a short time but most of them do not succeed because their patience is low and their aspirations are high.

The purpose of long term investment for newbies can be that they will practice about the market while making deposits and will know about crypto well. Which ones are reliable and best and what is the market capitalization of those coins and will get enough time to analyze and which ones are suitable for long term investment and which ones are suitable for short term trading.

In my opinion, the appropriate strategy is that you should first get experienced in the crypto space through long term investment and later short term trading through market analysis.

Both are quite different though some folk still call investment trading , which like a common mistake in this space , Aslong you are dealing with longterm you are more of an investor. Cause you are holding in order to make something good in a long term . While there are different form of trading , but trading mainly about making profit with the market wave for short term gain .

They are very different, and there is action in one, and in the other one, there is no action, because when you are investing you don't need to do too much is just for to buy and monitor the way the market is going but for trading you have to read meaning to patterns and know the next move in the market and that way it will be very much more easier. And people need to know the difference, and I'm sure some people don't know of this, and that's why the best thing is for them to seek knowledge.

And when you are holding, you have to hold with the intention that it's going to be for a long time, and trading is just for a short time, and at the same time, it comes with a lot of responsibility, and that is why trading is not for everyone, compared to holding, which can be managed by everyone, people need to know what they are capable of handling so that they don't make the mistake of going for what they can not handle and that i just the best way to be safe in this space.

saying that trading isn't for everyone makes it sound as pick that there are set of people that are perfect with trading. Trading isn't favourable to anyone such that it appears less risky on there part. Trading is very risky, regardless of how inclined these people may appear to be they can still incur losses. Long term investment should be considered by all investors as this is less risky when compared with trading.

A trader can be rich when trading, if he pays proper attention to all required techniques for securing profits. But how stable will he be, because the market is not always in favor for all traders. A trader can make lots of profits, same can losses be acquired. When it comes to stable financial records, without shakes, long term investment is the best option to take/make. The only thing is, make the investment in the right asset.

Trading is inherently risky and I must say that the potential risks are way more than the potential rewards. And this is why most people advise against trading, because not everyone possesses the emotional capacity and discipline to overlook some traps that appears like an opportunity. Most of the times, it requires one with several years of experience to be able to navigate the market without making much mistakes, but that’s doesn’t mean that having several years of experience makes you immune to losses.

Becoming a trader without having the mastery of emotional control and profit protection as a trader will be very uneasy in the crypto market. Trading is done with precise discretion of knowing how to stand firm with your analysis, when to exit the market and secure the profit is what will make a trader make more from the market. Experience can not be forgotten when it comes to trading, not all good market analysts are really good traders, but when their analytical knowledge is attached with experience, then we can see them to be good, because with experience they have seen different situations appearing almost on same pattern can they make better decision while trading.

Most of the times experience is kinda like the trader’s biggest weapon, I’m not a trader but if there’s one thing I know, it’s the fact that experience teaches one a lot of things, which includes discipline and patience. That’s why most newbies who have just entered into the market, regardless of the amount of research they’ve done still mostly end up in a messed up situation even with all the knowledge they’ve acquired, but when they keep trying it over and over again, after several failed trials, they manage to gain a certain level of experience, which they now add with their knowledge and then they get better results.

[Borbb]

 absolutely right I agree with you trading and Long-term investment is two big different things I had seen someone who makes it through Bitcoin investments this process you will need to stable active to monitor your wallet serialy, but in trading is only required to buy and as well sell back a certain coin in other to make profit in this case I want to let you know that the investors is more experienced than the traders because the traders only deals with short term markets while investing can last year's okay at this point now you're not only investing you are also learning about how to maintain experts aside the risk of the stable coin that falls and rise anytime like Bitcoin.

There is sufficient risk in trading, and the ability to take this risk and the possibility of losing all your money. There should be no greed among those who trade, a person who is greedy for money is not suitable for trading. You should notice and think that trading is the most risky and there is also the possibility of losing all your money,
that is why I prefer long-term Bitcoin investment. Because the risk is much lower, the chances of getting more benefits are the highest, you can buy Bitcoin at any time, it will not require extra time and you will not have to wait for the dip market. If you invest in Bitcoin according to the DCA method, it will definitely be of quality and you will be able to hold it for a long time.

[Hyphen(-)]

In the new situation, we almost equate trading and investing. Trading and long-term investing are two completely different things, let us discuss these issues in detail below.

Buying a coin is not considered an investment, if a person buys a particular coin and sells it for some profit then it is considered trading. Investing is when you buy a reliable coin and try to hold it for a long time.

The difference is mostly clear most times, we all understand the difference, but emotions drives the change. Some of us can’t afford seeing their portfolio red, and when they see small profit or even 10-20% they will likely take the profit, and doing that is completely spot trading because that’s how spot trading works, you buy when the price dip and sell when it recovers for small profit.

Most people with good capital prefer spot trading than future trading because of the clear difference of liquidation; in spot trading, you can hold your coin till any price as far as you did not sell, while futures deals with leverage, set target, and accurate prediction, if these requirements are not met, there will be liquidation.

The real investors are Bitcoin investors that hold for long, and some reputable alt coin investors that do hold coins for a very long term due to the trust they have with the project.

Trading and long-term investing both require knowledge and experience, most specifically for trading where skills and strategies should be prioritized. And if you think it will be easy for you to profit from investing, the same case does not apply to trading. You need more time and efforts when trading, and undeniably patience and the consistency to keep trading as there are no trades that will earn instant profits, all comes with close market monitoring and deep analysis on the current chart and patterns that exist in the market. While investing is less risky and is quite effortless, trading on the other hand is clearly the opposite.

Both are quite different though some folk still call investment trading , which like a common mistake in this space , Aslong you are dealing with longterm you are more of an investor. Cause you are holding in order to make something good in a long term . While there are different form of trading , but trading mainly about making profit with the market wave for short term gain .

Investment is usually meant for a big capital kept for a long term. Trading is more of a smaller capital with short term. The importance is that both have their own mileage and both are important to be in the portfolio. Long term investments will give decent returns over the years.

Short term investments carry higher risk with higher retirn chances. Use them at your own caution. Non spot trading is risky an I dont recommend it. Day trading on spot market often leads to hair pulling situations.
