You are right that I accept as true with you that we should always keep longer Because nobody can say when the worth of a currency will rise. once I bought a replacement currency the worth went down after buying a coin, but I used to be not disappointed to stay it and afterward doubled the value of my investment. Sometimes I keep it for six months and sometimes I double it.
But the thing is, as much as you hold longer requires too much risk, you need to be careful to which coin you will hold on and will gonna invest ,because it will be a troublesome if you will invest in a wrong coin and can only make you regret buying it. I will hold only thos coin who are in the top 10 of having a frequent update in their social medias for me to have assurance.

It all depends on what kind of movement in the market I expect. In fact, my trades look like short-term deals lasting from several hours to several days.
The longest deal I had was a week long. In other words, it all depends on my goals. If my goal is realized and I caught the movement I was counting on, then I close the deal in whole or in part, usually at breakeven.
Part of the funds I leave for further movement.

Well, with the strange and random movements of the market in this moment, a few days to a week are not enough for us to determine if our expectations are correct or wrong, I really think you should take more time for patience, instead of leaving regretful stories because I also tried to expect my calculations to come true within days and hours, and then I failed, give up quickly and as a result, only a few days later, the property I once sold became more expensive, lacking a bit of patience and dropping the opportunity, it's really not worth

Trading is not as easy as we imagine, many things are difficult to predict. Indeed there is no way to determine how long we must hold
when trading. Sometimes things like that only someone's experience can determine, because in trading sometimes we do need sharp
instincts in making decisions. So my advice is to avoid losses, multiply the practice. Because that way our flying hours increase and our
experience also increases, then by ourselves we can determine how much we have to hold coins for a long time to make a profit.

Just keep on reading.

It is true that we do not know what will happen with our cryptocurreny investments that is why we should not to stick in one,  but in some of the good cryptocurrencies in the market. Obviously should not invest what you can't lose, manage the risk, that is the most important of them all.

Depending on the situation of the market, I don't have the exact time for each trade. Usually I will keep them for 3-5 days for the positive market, or I will keep them for 2-3 weeks or longer if the market is sideways or going down. If you set a fixed time limit for every order when trading, then surely you will not be flexible and can not earn profits.
Holding on a trade is dependent upon the market prices of the coins. If the coin that you are currently investing into is not having much value in the digital world, then obviously you will not hold on to it even for a day. Mostly people spend more time for bitcoin trading because its price is much more reliable to gain profits.
depend on what kind of investor you are,because daytrading cannot stand longer and they choose to sell even at lose than waiting for too long time,because for them they can gain in another trade than the currency got trapped in much lower value if they holf longer.but for me?i would rather wait even months than to lose since i only buy rarely since there are still currency in my wallets so i can stand waiting than daytraders.

in daily trading it usually will prefer cut loss because they are more concerned with circulation and risk management will be more important. so it really depends on the type of investment being carried out, because the system is quite different and this also affects the time when holding.

Usually, I hold for 6 months, sometimes longer. Also, from time to time I can enter the market after 3-4 months of waiting. It depends.

I also hold my business for 6 months or 12 months Because I like to trade long-term because I find it annoying to trade every day When it comes to market conditions no one can say it always comes up with a name. That's why long-term trade is good.

while it is considered good, make sure your investment is still active. Some altcoins tend to have no value now or some do changed their project or did exit scam. Unlike in stocks that companies were established and known, crypto is too volatile not just in price but also in the companies situation.

Of course, we should consider it well before investing, but also because I like long-term trade I do well research and invest in projects. Always try to avoid scams and do not argue with any new services and trade with those who are more marketable and reliable.

It is best to combine your s/r levels with some oscillator/momentum indicator. This way you can project some levels to watch and then when you get close to your targets you can use oscillators to time your exits more precisely. Time should rarely be a factor of how long you keep a position unless it was a variable when you started the trade e.g. report is coming out in 3 days and you know moves will occur soon after so you can time stop your trade in 96h for example. If the pattern doesn't materialize in predicetd time then order is not executed and you move on. Other than that, only the price action should dictate what you do.
I see the point and it's very important to have this kind of setups when you are working with your trades. Knowing when to place your entry and
exiting in your target time. Good thing with this, if nothing happens you can proceed and move on to your next trades.
Preparation and expectation both can be assess once you are already dealing with this market, use your knowledge and understanding to acquire success.
trading will indeed be better if the circulation of funds continues to revolve, we must be precise in determining the purchase and determine the time to resell it. after making a profit, it would be better to look for trading with other coins, if it happens continuously then large or small profits can add to the funds owned.

trading has been a difficult process for novices and minor traders. it could be tempting most times if you dont understand the market movement and TA. you might loose patience and cancel out a trade you might regret later. i have cancel out many trades that later ended up in huge profits. i have also cancel some successfully. i just curious to know if there is any sure way to this trading were by you hold on a trade.
depend on the market. if in the market show good movement maybe i will sell my coins and follow the movement of market conditions. it not take long time maybe one or two days because i always analisys and search good coins to trade when i lose. it make me difficult to hold coins with long term hold because i am daily trader
If the movement of the market is good then you should not sell immediately, you should wait and observe the possible outcome of the movement and once the trend is broken that is when you are going to look for an exit price so you can still sell at a profit. Buying and holding a trade is easy but having discipline is hard.
This is one of the most basic mistakes that I see in newbie traders, as soon as they get some profits they close their trade and while this can be effective a few times it does not work when the market goes strongly in one direction, then they think the price has to come back down only to be disappointed when the price does the opposite and instead of getting huge profits they just get a small amount of profit.

Then they regret their decision and they buy at the top and then they lose all their previous profits as they enter the market too late and the smart money begins to sell.

As long as I know the over all direction of the market via higher timeframes, I will hold on to a trade.

Eg : I trade the 1 Min Chart, So If the overall direction is strong bearish & the BTC is pumping a bit, I'll hold on since i'm certain its going to come back down.

there's no sure way of holding unless you know what are the possible targets of a pump or dump it depends how do you make TA , Technical analysis will help us to know what are the potential target that may achieve in the long run and also if we know how to read candlestick it is a big factor that  we need to consider in the long term trend

If the coin that you are currently investing into is not having much value in the digital world, then obviously you will not hold on to it even for a day. Mostly people spend more time for bitcoin trading because its price is much more reliable to gain profits.

If that is the case I think a lot of people will be holding just Bitcoin.

It is true that there are a lot of profits generated by Bitcoin in the future, but it just not shows gains but also profits in the long run. It is not always pushing upwards. They usually hold Bitcoin, well, it is Bitcoin. It is not that it is reliable when it comes to gaining profits, it is just that there are a lot of people using it and in cryptocurrency, it is usually the "main" in the market.
For sure no coin will always remain upward but it sometimes falls as well so in case of fallen price bitcoin should behold with patience for long term and don’t think about selling it. Holding is a way of making a profit even in the worst market. So I am holding my bitcoins I believe I  can hold them until I become able to get profit from it holding in trade means slow but certain huge profit.

It completely depends upon the market situation because sometimes we need to hold due to fluctuation about the prices, nothing is predictable in the market. Until we see the price recovery it is impossible for me to sell them in the market.

Hold on to the coins that are worth holding like BTC and ETH that have tendency to arise in the future due to their limited supplies. While some coins are only good to trade for short term. Always know the news too that sometimes help in doing day trading. Holding will depends on the project and news whenever I do trade.
We should always consider what coins will be good for long term trade. I have always seen Bitcoin and Ethereum is the most preferrable coins when it comes of long term trading and due to the having great price on last bull run many people keep on believing that it will happen again. If you really intend to make good profit the long term trade is very suited to that make sure that you will also invested in good coins. Being updated to the news about the coins that you have holds is a good strategy because it can help you to avoid losses and have a chance to earn good profit.
