Holding is better than trading

[LastKiss]

Trading is good if you understand it, but some people will never understand how to trade but they will continue to lose. If you have been losing in trading, it is a good advise for you to just hold for bull market to come. You still have time to earn weekly or monthly and safe part of your money in bitcoin and make more researches but avoid shit coins. Do not let it be too late before you will understand this. There is opportunity in crypto.

I believe most of them are day traders who try to maximize their earnings, but end up round tripping their profits because they get too greedy. I often see people using day trading strategies to maximize their profit but instead suffer more losses, while position traders seem to lose less frequently. Both HODLing and trading offer opportunities but they come with different risks and potential profits as we already know. If people understand their limit they should avoid day trading and either hodl for the long term or become position traders.

I agree with all of these tips. I came to discover all of them after my experience in trading over the past years. Although they were sometimes harsh, they were useful and greatly increased my experience.

Yes, I am convinced that long-term holding or at least medium-term trading is better than day trading for those who suffer losses in trading. Through my experience with day trading, I made some profits but I suffered large losses too, so I decided to switch to medium- and long-term trading.

Trading is a high-risk thing, if you go into trading, it can cause losses for you. When you put your money in investment, it will not disappoint you, but it will assure you that you will achieve something good in the future. We know that trading is for a short period of time and if it is entered during the volatility of the market, then there is a risk of losing money and fear of losing. Many times, experienced people also lose in trading, but for those who are new, I would advise them to avoid trading first and learn and then trade. However, investment will be best for new people, if they can hold for a long time, they will be able to profit in the future. Currently, most people avoid trading, but are more interested in investing, it will not disappoint them, but there is hope of profit and the risk is low.

Let me brief it.

But if you are making money in trading, it is good for you. Earn money and hold also.

But considering that you are hodling is you must need to trade your assets right. You can that its better to make a hodling than become a scalper. Actually, this depends on the risk management of the trader and availability, personally im doing a swing trades which is a higher time frame of market its easier to me to analyze the market structure with the bigger picture than making a trades with leverage with the futures of the crypto so depends on the capability at the same time also there are traders who are doing this both actively. Do what you think its more effective to you and growth of your porfolio.

Those who choose day trading are often driven by the desire to maximize quick profits, even greed, which can lead to significant losses. Day trading can also lead to overtrading due to entering the market too frequently, eager to profit too quickly, and allowing losses to grow.

From your story I conclude that you have demonstrated maturity in decision making. You have gone through many phases in trading initially profitable perhaps due to luck in a bull market or momentum then experiencing significant losses and finally realizing this leading you to shift to medium to long term trading. In my opinion, this is a very good and mature step you are taking now. It's rare for people to be mature in trading they continually endure repeated losses due to ego or greed. The difference between day trading and long-term trading lies in emotional control. In the long term, your emotions are calmer but day trading can make you easily stressed, prone to FOMO or panic selling.

There are some people that think they are smart, thinking learning trading can bring profit. They will learn it and lose. They will later think that experience is the best teacher and try to make amends, but they will continue to trade and lose. You will see traders that have been trading for years not still losing. That is just the problem. Some people will learn, have experience bit still losing. It would be better for such people to just hold.

What fools them is when they look at other traders who make it from trading. They fail to consider if it's actually genuine, and if it's genuine, they fail to consider the amount of losses that person may have incurred before getting to that level. It's similar to gambling where people look at other gamblers who have won millions and believe it will be them one day. I knew people who were so focused on trading memecoins, yet they kept getting losses and complaining of missed opportunities. It was no different from when we complained about losses and missed opportunities in gambling, yet they refused to stop because they saw it as giving up.

Thank you, yes that's correct.
In my early days, I was very driven to make more profits, and this usually leads to adverse results due to hasty decisions and poor risk management. I have benefited greatly from my experiences and have become much more mature than before, and therefore I am not sad about these losses because they gave me good lessons and made me more balanced in making trading decisions and the strategies I follow.

Honestly, It is true that the risk of trading is quite high, and not all people are able to handle it. Majority of the people go there hoping to make quick profits and lose. Holding is a much calmer approach than this, there is no rush here.

But I would say that blindly holding is not also right. When you are aware of the market, invest slowly and hold on, you will achieve good results. When you get time, there is a high probability of making a profit in the long run but when you get in without having anything at all that can also be dangerous.

This is the best advice to be given to every crypto enthusiast who has been in crypto for long. Airdrops are not more paying, trading is not more paying as it used to be due to the market condition.

A lot of people rely on trading as their daily job to earn a leaving, while a lot of people rely on gambling and so on, so you need consistency in whatever they are doing so as to have a successful result.

However, since trading has become so hard to make profit from these days due to market condition, I think it is better to channel that energy to buying Bitcoin instead so that they can sell and make profit if Bitcoin price bounce back.

Trading is basically a method of making money by taking advantage of short-term market fluctuations, but as there is an opportunity to make money, there is also financial risk and fear of loss. Therefore, it is not logical to pour so much money into trading in as a new. If they want to trade, they need to know all the basics of trading. However, only theoretical knowledge is not enough. In addition to theoretical knowledge of trading, practical practice strengthens the foundation of learning. Therefore, instead of relying only on theoretical knowledge, experience can be increased by trading in small amounts and practicing.

Long-term investment is more comfortable for beginners than trading. Because it will not require them to monitor the market excessively and they will not need to invest large amounts without being mentally stressed. Most people are interested in trading only to make money in a short time. Whether someone will invest long-term or trade is their personal decision, but they have to take responsibility for their own decisions, and steps should be taken keeping this in mind.

Just as OP actually stated that trading is another means of making money from the market and if the required knowledge is there then there is nothing bad in making extra money off the market through trading, but the risk is there, this is a prediction or speculative thing as such you will need to actually have all the most necessary knowledge required plus this doesn’t takes away the risk involve in the trading. But many people have actually not placed emphasis on this as they actually just look into trading as a way to make money every time and this is why we usually have more Losers than profitable traders.

For newbies who have the wrong narrative of trading and they usually fall into losses its best they stick to something which is less risk and doesn’t requires them to go after seeking knowledge extensively like technicals all they need to do is actually be able to create and safeguard their wallet and then but bitcoin at their discretion and that’s actually a more red reliable means for them.

The ones who don't understand trading or the ones who're into shit coins will always lose money and no matters if they're in bear market or bull market they'll continue to lose. Only those who're patient and who've proper trading strategies can make profit from trading not those who want to make profit or to leave their physical job. I've seen traders who made some profits when market favored them but when market went down they lost their own capital and all the profits. Trading isn't for everything, but those who've lost so much money in trading can recover their losses by doing DCAying for long term as that's a better approach for majority.

This is the most important thing in trading that if you are in loss wait and wait for the bull run. If you can continue trading with this strategy then you can reduce the loss to a great extent. I know most traders sell at a loss because of the fear of losing money. They cannot be patient during the price decline and panic sell because of the fear of losing capital. As there is a lot of potential for loss in trading, there is also the best reward for a patient trader.

Always allocate funds that you can afford to lose for trading and avoid trading with all the funds you have. There are some strategies in trading, one of which is the long term strategy where you build a portfolio and avoid selling before reaching a target level in terms of profit.

I believe most of them are day traders who try to maximize their earnings, but end up round tripping their profits because they get too greedy. I often see people using day trading strategies to maximize their profit but instead suffer more losses, while position traders seem to lose less frequently. Both HODLing and trading offer opportunities but they come with different risks and potential profits as we already know. If people understand their limit they should avoid day trading and either hodl for the long term or become position traders.

If there are people who want to learn and try trading, I will allow them. But after a few trades, if they do not make progress, they should indeed switch to holding, which might suit them. There are people who we can say are talented in trading, but there are also those who find it difficult to develop in trading. However, they have the calmness to hold, so it is better for them to choose their path to make money appropriately.

I agree with you. If someone has been trading and continues to lose it's best to stop and switch to long-term investments. Trading requires talent as sometimes everyone's psychology isn't suited to trading, as they're easily swayed by emotions like greed, fear and revenge after losses. Talent can be developed but it takes time and experience. Even successful traders often need years to achieve consistent profits.

So when they feel they lack talent for trading switching to long-term investments is a wise choice. We all agree that long term investments have many benefits, such as reducing the impact of emotions they simply need to buy and hold. This gives them peace of mind when there are price fluctuations and investing isn't about guessing daily price movements, but rather about long-term goals.

If we compare trading with long tern investment then long term investment is less risky and everyone can follow that strategy. But if we talk about trading then its only for experienced people, who have mastered the arts of trading over a period of time. If you are new to trading then make sure you don't start trading straight away with huge capital and also quit trading if you think you are not getting desired results.

Sure investing is absolutely less risky than trading because we wouldn’t be on the chart all day trying to check out our portfolio and open positions instead we just hold and have long term mindset and wait patiently for the market to make the positive movement. Trading is risky too though but it is also profitable and interesting when one has the right knowledge and understanding about it, but holding is absolutely something everyone can do and it is less risky and stress free at the same time.

I don't know why this made me laugh, maybe because your reply relates to me personally. I can still remember those early days of trying to understand crypto and choosing to trade it. I was met with consistent losses, which made me question whether being in crypto was truly worth it. Yeah, when I realized I could still do well by hodling bitcoin for longer, I didn’t hesitate to switch. No rush, no get-rich-quick mindset, just patience, a well drafted  plan, and consistency. Many self-acclaimed traders should realize this already and save themselves the stress of sleepless nights.

If we have other resources to generate income, I think it would be better to just hold bitcoin, like the rich do who just buy this bitcoin, so let's do the same where, even if it's just a small amount of value, at least we have Bitcoin set aside for the future.

You might think that you're paying insurance, but you're not; the only difference is that with Bitcoin we're sure to get something in the future where the capital we use to save can double, triple, or more, which is for me not bad at all.

[Bd officer]

Based on my personal experience, what I have understood is that holding is better than trading, long-term holding is less risky. In simple words, trading is not for everyone but holding is for everyone. Not everyone can profit from trading, but those who held their holdings for a long time have profited. To trade, you need to gain knowledge about trading, learn to analyze the market, but if you are investing in Bitcoin for the long term, then just buy and hold. Anyway, I don't know about others, but I have started accumulating BTC for the next bull market, currently the price of Bitcoin is relatively cheap so you should not miss the opportunity to buy Bitcoin.
