I don’t understand what you’re here for anymore, being introduced to this forum to market IEO/ICO companies and only turning to the trading discussion board to learn. I hope you elaborate on your story on how you came to this.
Anyways, I think most of the part of long term and short term trading has been discussed by others who posted before me here. I want my approach too. Let’s start with Daily Trading
Daily Trading:
- You trade daily and concerned with ending the day either in profit or in a loss.
- You are called a scalper
- You choose to check multiple charts in which satisfies your condition
- You are at a fast pace, using a fast trading strategy. (SMA Cross, Ping Pong, etc.)
Long term Trading:
- You are not concerned with the daily profit or loss, you are looking at the future possibilities
- Not affected too much by emotions of the regular results
- You are a swing trader
- Probably have a reliable strategy that you believe in (Elliot Wave, Fibonacci, etc.)
That’s just my take on when I encounter short and long term trading. I would like to have my strategy that fits my style, and I’m leaning more into the Long Term trading strategy. Where I bet on my skills on plotting, hoping that it’s a winning trade.
Well after reading this I got to know one thing that you really have good knowledge about both the Day trading and Long term trading. I like getting knowledge because i know any kind of trading you use but you will have to get Knowledge. I personally like to trade for long term as it does not need to keep eyes on market all time also it reduces risk, i can easily concentrate on my daily job so, i like long term trading.
It’s written everywhere, the same lines. And if you try to trade, or hold, you have probably been in many different situations. Handling problems or difficult situations is a learning process. We can read what others teach us
but if we don`t try that in practice it’s hard that we will learn something more. Theory and practice are two different things.
I tried daily trading and all I just lost money, it’s not for me. After a couple of months of daily trading where I had just few profitable days, I decided to stop and not doing that ever again. I invest in coin and I hold it for months and some of them for years now, waiting for their prices to rise.
