PRESALE BEGINS UP TO 45% DISCOUNT
January 19, 2018, 08:00:53 AM
If you constantly trade on short distances, you can miss an important point.

Personally, I keep coins in which I believe in long, it's primary for me. And already in addition sometimes I raise on short-term positions that again to buy long-term from the received profit.

Look for your personal strategy and stick to it.
I agree with you. Have we not learned from the stories of others who regret selling their coins at a certain time but when they realized the coin pumped so high, It was already too late for them because they already have nothing to sell. I will still prefer to hold and watch how is my coin doing in the market.

PRESALE BEGINS UP TO 45% DISCOUNT

I do not do short term. I prefer long term, it will give me more profit. I also do not have more time for daytime trading due to the time demand of my day time job. All my coins are for long term Hold. I see less risk in long term and less regretful because I have plenty of time to observe its performance in the market.

probably most altcoin for now is a long-term investment because prices are unlikely to go up quickly and all require a process to take some profit
I hold most of my coins for long term and I only sell the one that can bring me much money.

How are you handling your portfolio? How much are risking in % of your portfolio in short term gain vs. Long term gain?
In actual trading of both type can leads into profit as well as loss because here we are not familiar with the future conditions ( like rumours ) that can leads into big dump and also in big pump in the altcoins market and also sometimes in bitcoin market .
So anything is non scripted .
If you will go for long term trading then you will surely needed to have lots of patience because sometimes we need to wait for a coin to jump its price after 1-2 years ( example of 1337 coin @ yobit ) .
And if you will go for the short term trading then here everything will work like the gambling , but surely you will needed to have bulk amount of Money for day trading because in day trading we have to suppose that we will make 2-3% profit atleast , so there remains chances for low profit with less risk stretagy .

I keep about 70-80% percent of my money in long term investments. Although short term investments are appealing because they offer huge opportunities to make money, they are incredibly risky as well; so I don't really want to keep worrying about my money doing short term trades all the time.

In general, I would put the money into three parts, part of the investment of ICO, BTC part of investment, altcoin part of investment, the investment portfolio in the bull market return is amazing, but when a sharp drop in altcoin,BTC also has a small drop.

I am investing mostly in long term prospective. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano and couple of small ones.

It is very rare for me to invest in something I have no faith in a long run, because if the price don't go in the right direction I have a hard time holding something I don't believe in it.

For long term hold i like BTC, Eth, Litecoin, Dash, Monero. For short term i prefer Omisego, Stratis, Ark, Iota, Cardano and Neo. There are others that fit the short term category, it all depends in preference.

i do prefer short term because the profit on it was fast but if you are lazy enough why not go for long term one so you can get a lot of profits while waiting on it

Long play - Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gobyte, Xem(Nem). All are perfect assets.
Short play - altcoins like Ripple, Waves and XNN that are good for trading and buying something.
nice. you provide useful information I think ripple goes into the short term because much speculation comes when the ripple is in the long-term investment class and that's wrong.

How are you handling your portfolio? How much are risking in % of your portfolio in short term gain vs. Long term gain?

If you manage to find a good presale with a huge bonus, it worth thinking about selling after short term but usually you should hold your coins long term if the project has potential..

i prefer short term because you can get a lot for profit in the short time even it is just 40% or less but if you have a lot of altcoin to sell you can get a lot more profits .on the long term you just need to wait and get profit unlike with short term you dont need to check everytime

For me coins for long-term are Bitcoin and Top Altcoins like Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, , LiteCoin, Dash etc. These coins although already more expensive but they on top because of the trade volume that keeps on.that's good profit after few months or a year.

There are two things that many people often confuse - investing and trading. Long terms are an investment. You need to study the project well, understand the real time and forget about it for a while. Any short term is a trade. This is a more risky exercise. Good profits can be obtained in both cases. It all depends on the desire and temperament.
