In both cases, whether you are hodling or trading, you must keep security in mind, especially when hodling. You should never keep your funds in an exchange for longer than you need. Exchanges pose a security risk, they can get hacked or the founder can be the only one holding the private keys to the funds being kept on the exchange and then suddenly die. You should keep your funds offline and be in control of your private keys. You could keep your funds on a hardware wallet, on an offline computer that is dedicated to holding your crypto, or you can use a secure smartphone that is meant for cryptocurrencies, for example the Wings WX phone by BitWings.
One thing that I know of is when I started with Bitcoin, price is at 3 digits only and now its 4 digits, it even wen't as high as 5 digits. Holding your coins maybe dangerous if you don't look at the price everyday because you will not know if its the time to buy or its the time to sell. Just like what happened last December 2017, some says they should have sold when it reached ATH when they look at the price of Bitcoin now.
Yes, you are right market situation cannot be the same every time, we have to look at the price of what we are holding because one day the prices of the coin will increase. Yes, 2017 is the right time to sell because the coin prices have increased a lot in the market at that time.

The same could've been experienced by majority of the users. Out of greed or some form of expectation kept hold even at its peak value. Now everything is missed. Once again it's time to hold for the longer time period, as we don't know when the further price increase is gonna get initiated.

Great enlightening information. Those trading strategy you have mention are quite true. Everything will be smooth in trading if we will just follow the buy low, sell high approah. Panic selling isn't beneficial but most of the traders fall for fud and performing FOMO that mess the trading strategy.
The strategy of the holding is very good if you choose promising cryptocurrencies with an excellent experienced team with a popular product and periodically fix the profit as the price increases
For the current conditions I myself prefer to sell and hold coins according to price movements, meaning that if the price is rising high then sell the coin and if you feel that the coins you hold are not too good then hold on.
That way you will be profitable, also, don't forget to ensure that you also hold coins for long term. Divide your investment into short term and long term, even for day trading you have to allocate a certain percentage of your total capital so you won't miss the opportunity to make money as the price continues to be volatile.

Holding is completely risk free as the profit is long term focused. One thing important is that these long term investments need to be made on assets that provide with assured profiting. Trading strategy is very simple, buy low and sell high is the common principle followed. One need to develop strategies to meet the trade successful in such a way.
yes, I am interested in what you say. in my opinion all strategies must have their own weaknesses and risks. but I also feel that the level of risk in carrying out a long-term hold strategy is higher than the trading strategy. I say like that, because in trading we are required to always see or monitor market developments and news. and we can survive if the market price situation is not as expected. when prices recover, we can go back to trading. with such a strategy, I think it is safer than doing a long-term hold strategy. that's the reason for me to choose to trade rather than just hold.
In every business there is risk involved which we cannot able to predict them and it is impossible to justify whether it is good to hold or good to sell, but it completely depends on confidence you built in cryptocurrency. So it is always good to hold because now market situation is very bad.
For those people in weak hands also sell immediately their altcoins in low price so its better to make other strategy if their are some issue of holding coins.
People who do not have risk taking capacity should ideally be away because their is a huge chance of making losses as crypto is being very volatile. If people do not have patience it will lead to panic selling and in the end they will make losses for them self.
Everything is very risky here in crypto. The reward differrence of two is that trading will only give you a small percentage of profit but holding can give 100x - 1kx of return in the future and we are talking about 2-3 years of span. Holding not really go well for 5-10 years because it can be surpassed by a new brand that has a better marketing and latest system.
yes you are right in most of the time we have to take risk in this field then only we can get the profit also because if you miss all the opportunities in this field then the future will be very bad for yourself that we take the risk will be most useful and important thing in this situation. 
Yep, you just said the truth, hype can be bought. I have seen things like that, but you can easily identify fake hypes from the real ones. I have once seen a platform that paid people to hype them on Quora. When I visited the website I was able to tell that it was scammers. And from the way they are being hyped you can easily tell that it’s all fake.
Appears that everything has a high hazard and horrible you however I think for new players better play long haul by holding approach to be progressively secure and not very unsafe. try not to give you a chance to move the coin you have at a modest cost.
Hodling was supposed to be a sure way of making profit in the cryptocurrency market or in any other similar market. But as we have noticed in recent times, it is a strategy that has not worked for some existing investors whom the market is still currently against. The risk involve in this strategy is that there is no certainty to the existence of cryptocurrency and likewise, there is no prediction to how high the market can grow or to how low it can fall.
But on a final note, hodling is a risk worth taking in trading, when you have a low entry point.
when you trade at least you already have a risk that will make you fall poor, but you can also become rich, all the risks that will occur in the cryptocurrency can occur and no one provides a guarantee that can always benefit.But on a final note, hodling is a risk worth taking in trading, when you have a low entry point.
Hazard is hodling is that the development in the cost isn't ensured and you may squander your time and lose your cash. Exchanging is superior to holding to procure moray is less time. In the event that you are a specialist merchant, you can make attractive cash in brief time due to day by day action in crypto advertise. Best methodology is that you should give more opportunity to look through the market position and take the correct choice at the ideal time.

I guess not. Holding is not a sure way of gaining profit but its a safe way to play with the market's volatility. There is no certain things here in the market when speaking of price and values but one thing is constant and it is the movement from time to time of prices wherein holding becomes risky.

Not everything, instead, almost all of it has risk involved. It is true that holding coins in a long term can give a high profit in the future.
But we never know when is the exact date or time frame for the bul run, while in day trading even you can earn for small amount of money at least you get that profit everyday though it has also a big risk too. One wrong moves for sure you are checkmate for sure.
