"One of the most common dangers of over-trading is the loss of capital. Often traders, commit the mistake of opening many positions in the belief of hitting the jackpot on some of those trades. However, the sad reality is, most of these trades will result in the opposite – losses instead of gains. That’s why common sense would tell us that it’s always better to go for moderate yet consistent returns; rather than go for the jackpot in one go and expose yourself to greater trading risks."

Topic: Is over trading a good idea? (Read 468 times)
I guess that usually it is not worth your time. One exception would be if you have so much money that even micro-gains would make a sense.
Over trading is not good because this shows how greed you are on making money. Don't rush to have bigger profit just enjoy the process accumulating it and you will achieve all your goal in time. Trading is not that easy, and if you trade much your health might be in trouble so better to balance everything in your life.
Is over trading a good idea? If not, why do you think it isn't? What are the pros and cons in over trading? Is it advisable u buy or sell your coin everytime you saw a slightly movement in the value of bitcoins?
Overtrading makes you very tired. While doing this, you will get tired and you will lose your strength. Instead of doing this, trade if and only if you see great opportunity. Trading like a machine is not good.
none here can explain what over trading is lol...in my understating op refers to either making too much money in a single day, or under earning. In either way, the question makes no sense
The biggest added value is over the long term thanks to the holding so what is the point of losing time doing high frequency trading?

In my opinion that not good because emotion and greedy will come to you and you can not manage it. I have been do it and i miss big profit because not patient to wait the price rebound and finally i got loss because bought coin in overbought area.
It's not about the emotions when it comes to trading or any other field where you jump in. I think it is how a new person responds to trading, who frequently buy and sell coins. Some people may mix it with active trading but there is a huge difference in over trading and active trading. People become over confident sometime while ignoring everything else they grab a coin at a high price. I am personally not a crypto trading expert but I can say that I am a successful trader and all I have learnt about trading is through bitcointalk forum. Just follow one simple rule don't be greedy when other are greedy and don't freak out when others are feared.

Over trading can have several negative consequences. Over active traders don’t have enough time to weigh up the possible outcomes of a trading opportunity and so make a reliable informed decision. Trader fatigue and higher chance of making mistakes. Unnecessary and sometimes extreme risk exposure
over trading is never a good idea i could relate it to my experiences in the forex market...

I think it can not be asserted that trading is good idea or not, because everything has two opposing sides. Trading too, when you invest properly or lucky, you get a profit then you can say that trading is a good thing and the right choice. But if you make a mistake and lose all of money then everything will be different, and trading is no longer a good thing, that it is too risky. 
I guess usually this is a bad idea because it makes you lose a lot of time for very little gains. However, if you are moving very large capitals, even speculating on little differences of the price could lead to profits which are worthy. There has been one case when I could make quite some money just with arbitrage, several thousands $ for a sleepless night of arbitrage.
it certainly will not provide benefits and even provide a big risk because it will increase losses. so I think we have to be careful and trading with a suitable volume for minimal risk and results can also be obtained periodically.

by definition, over-trading is a bad idea. it means you are hyper-focusing on short time frames and getting shaken out of good positions. it means you are selling your winners too early.
there are not pros. the cons: you lose good positions, you get frustrated and lose money selling into bear traps, you sweat small movements on low time frames when you could be spending that time more productively.
Is it advisable u buy or sell your coin everytime you saw a slightly movement in the value of bitcoins?
absolutely not. the best way to survive and profit from this market is position trading. both mainstream investors and hedge funds have arrived (yes, including altcoins). that means buying dips from panic traders (perhaps like yourself
) and holding through drawdowns. the trend is your friend. What is over trading?
Seems like most of you are oblivious to the definition of the things you say.
