Guys sorry for this question above but I would like to ask here that

What is the difference of Trading to Investing?

though I know that I can search it in google but I want an answer from those people who have already experienced this two.
Thank you.

I hope you can help me in my confusion..

Technically, trading is the process between two people buying/selling goods or currencies at a particular price. And investing is the process when someone gives away the money on a business which as a result would pay him profits within a particular period of time, though profit is not guaranteed in both of them. Trading can also be considered a kind of an investment though.

In investing Your entrusting your money by somebody else or in the business you are going to engage in, while in trading You use you strategy, imagination, and analysis for you to make profit faster in easiest way. because you only have two things to do in trading buying and selling only, that's it.

both of them is difference, but to make it easier to understand, when you investing, you trust your money to someone and you don't need and can't do anything with your money until certain period, when you trading, you used your skill and knowledge to generate profit and you need to some work in trading, you need to pay attention to the chart and keep the updated news everyday

so when investing you depend on somebody else when trading you depend on yourself

Indeed, who's in charge of the funds is one of the differences between them.
But trading could consider as an investment too as your funds spend to buy in order to get more profits.
The best between trading and investing? Of course investing will win the vote, due to many better options to invest your money and some has higher chance to give high return. On the other hand, trading require experiences and knowledge to judge the market in the future, to gain profit.

According to me the fundamental difference between trading and investing is the term associated with it. Any short term buying or selling activity is trading and any long term buying selling activity with the intention to earn profits in the long term is an investment. Usually, a trading has lower capital but with more frequency and in investing large capital is invested with lesser frequency.

If you talk about legit long term investments, then these will yield you a low amount calculated in percentages, so yes, in order to up your potential profits, you have to come over with a significant initial investment capital. That's why a lot people with a small initial balance jump into altcoin trading due to the heavy volatility where 50% price jumps aren't anything new. But we all know how risky that is....

One can take and hold large positions even with the small capital through the leverage feature in which he can earn good profits in small movements on the price chart so it is not necessary to have large capital in order to earn the large profit. In such cases, trader can lose 100% of his capital if there is absence of stop loss so taking extreme precaution is must

Leverage is a killing feature

I mean, in a more or less literal sense of the word. It could quickly kill your account, and ultimately, if you continue to use it, that will happen unless you have reliable insider info (which is when using leverage is fully justified). I think many have read here the story of a guy who lost 600 bitcoins while shorting. He was trading using borrowed money, and most likely, at a high leverage value at that, full of exceptions to make hefty profits. The same could happen to you too

These two words seem different thin difference between trading and investing so here
Trading is the buying and selling process bitcoin or altcoin done at any time.
Another case with this one investing if we invest in a business for the long term. can invest in tarding for the long term.
approximately like that I can describe

Yeah, but both are kind of business, on one point both are same like when, we buy and sell coins in trading and also we do in investment when we buy the bitcoin and hold it for a long time, so it is also like trading, and both have a point to earn money. Well, for me, difference doesn't matter.

You can actually use trading and investing in both categories. From altcoins to stocks or even real estate. They are both buying and selling. The only difference is the period you are holding the asset. In trading you hold the asset for a short term period while in investing you are holding the asset in a long term period. Both of which you are expecting to profit too.

well there are long term trading and short term investments as well and i think they're pretty much the same when it comes to the time that it takes to do both. some trading takes years also holding on to their alt coins. i think the main difference is that trading mainly focuses on alt coins while investing is a general term. when you invest on something, it can be with anything, to start a business, or to take part in stocks of another business already

from some of the articles I read the trading and investing have in common is sell at a higher price to make a profit, the difference in the trading price changes quickly if the investment price changes tend to be slow

if youre write is nothing diference because in real, all trader is same youre write not diference, trader buy in low and selling in high price to take profit, if fast take profit(few profit) and long take profit (much profit) only about profit target, not yet diference investment and trading

I didn't understand a word you said.

But the truth her is that traders buy low and sell high some kind of assets like alt-coins, forex, stocks and other assets that is easily tradable. On the other hind, investing is about buying into something or business. Like investing money into a project and hoping for it to prosper.

trading is depend by condition in the market and buying or selling order from the people, the price is changing from time to time and its hard to predict. in investing, i think the profit is list in the programs and we can calculate by ourself, how much profit that we want and how long we want to invest.

Well not sure but my 2 cents

Trading : Require really good analyzing skills and if you made profit, it's all because you made good analytics towards something.

Investing : investing in something is also require analyzing skill but how much profit it can be made is depends on whether the projects development is ongoing or just a scam scheme.

Trading depends on market price If you have knowledge in how the market will change day by day. And you know which is the right place to trade and which is a good time to trade you can make a profit in Trading. Investment requires big capital, and you have to wait for a long time to make a profit. have patience you can try investment. The scammers you will find in both trading and investing, so the risk is common on both sides. Choose right method to make money.

Investing and trading both needs to be properly maintained in order to give you stable and fixed income.

But usually investments are out of our control and hence maintaining them will be impossible to ensure the income generations to be stable. At the same time, it is absolutely possible for trading, we can control and enhance for a steady and assured income for a living also.

We have to manage both of them perfectly otherwise it will leads to loss. Trading and investment are completely manage because in trading you don't have any control on market, you need to act according to market. Where as in investment you will get returns in longer run, investment is not the short term profit.

yeah mostly not a short term investment. different from the trading that is more likely in the short term. you do not have control over the market but you have to be clever to analyze the state of the market

There are many Differences in trading and investing but in investing you have to wait more and should be very patient because once you send the money you have to wait what will happen with that coin or conpany.

yeah investment usually takes a long time to gain an advantage or requires a long period of time to get a payout while trading requires a short time, because only drive up prices

i think not just in investment that we should waiting but in trading we have to waiting too for the up and down the price and we should be patience and wait more longer when the price is suddenly down too deep. the different for me is in trading, we can learn how to be a good trader and increase our skills but in investing, we don't need to learn but we need to search the information about the investment then if we are really sure then we can make investing.

In investing you have to wait more, I'm not saying that there is no wait on trading (which is possible) but when you invest in something the time to get your money back will take longer than in trading, in trading you may get not the full amount if you dump the coin or something else in order to exchange it faster because of any emergencies or you smelt something bad about that.
