Do you guys think that it is possible to be successful if I want to hold ( a year), but look at the charts only once a week (even less), then trade only if I see a huge loss? Let's say I set a loss of 10% now, will I have to trade a lot?

Thanks in advance

You can't get any profit if you do like that, it looks like you've losing it all. It is better not sell them if you see that you aren't gaining, just wait the time that it will pump and make a trade for other coin or buy back when price dump again.

say the initial intentions of investment for a long time, I think we do not always see the graph, the coins we buy just decreased even up we leave it alone, not like that if we as day trader that every time we always monitor the market and see the coins we buy up or down, if we are confident with the coins we have made the investment will go up, why should we always look at the charts, get rich and successful it we will not be able to know when it's time.

It can be called an active investment. That is, you can keep coins and do not look at charts. And you can take a coin and watch its price, trading it and multiplying it. In my opinion, in the conditions of rapid market volatility, it is excellent to be aware of the events of the coins always be in good shape and keep your hand on the pulse

To buy or not to buy - that is the question ;)

Man, trading doesn't work like this. If you want to trade check chart at least every 5 hours. If you want to hold, don't even look there until you think it is time start trading. That is it for your question

it depends on you taking long-term or short-term investments.
matter of loss and profit in accordance with your own calculation is not based on the time to withstand.
If you are right in speculation then what you get is an advantage.

You can put in a stop loss order to protect you in the event of a crash. If you are investing in Bitcoin or a major altcoin that already had a crash, we probably won’t see another big one in the next year, but it could be beneficial to set a stop loss just in case.

I just hold most of my coins on a hardware wallet so I can’t make any quick sells. I will just ride out all the corrections and won’t try to time them. I find that timing the market is not easy to do.

Trading during a downtrend requires a lot of experience in the market and knowledgeable on charts and indicators. I think it is a good strategy to diversify your portfolio wherein you will be separating funds for trading and holding. For example, 20% of your portfolio for trading, then leave the remaining 80% to your hardware wallet for long term.

That may mean that you are a fan of that coin because you are always on the grip and not getting out the hold of it. May be risky if always stepping up on trade.

If you only see price movements in a week I think that is not a good strategy. Yes I will sell your strategy is good, in one side you have a holding strategy and in other side if the price move to decline you will sell your coin. But you must know the price movement is very fast, within a week if the price trend down you can get big losses. So, my advice is you must often see the price movement everyday, just like you are trader.

Why not? I have a same strategy. I spend much time on fundamental because I don't want to sell before important news or events. But I trade for more coins also

In my opinion, you are not in the world of crypto totally.
There are so many things of the fundamental of cryptocurrency must be learned every day. at least where we are busy, take times about 4 hours in a day to look for the information on your investment's coin.

In the trading not only talk about selling activity, here is about the invest of money and your time.

How can we analyze the technical methods for make short term or long term trading? If we are poor in the fundamentals.
When there are the people got the profit with your strategy, maybe they are lucky. And that condition only 1:100 in likelihood factor.

Yes that's very possible to have some gains but what will be the definition of successful, depends on you.

If you are setting a loss why it would be 10%? why not set it lower so that you can only have small loss.

Most of the holders are also traders so you can do this depending on your comfort.

If you're holding bitcoin, i don't recommend you to sell now with a loss of 10%, because i truly believe on the potential of bitcoin, and it can definitely make it stand up from its downfall. If i were you, you should still hold tight of your holdings until it can makes its full recovery, to gain more profit instead of losing a lot of money by selling it right now.

You'd better just hold and do nothing more, that's safer and probable more profitable.

so that mean you want hold some coin but u need to trade it for some little profit or whatever you reason, then you buying again at low price ?
right ?
well
in this case , i just give opinion ,
if u HODL, altough market going fall down or up. u must HODL.
because the point is u HODL the coin.
ok , i know what u see about market soo fcking fluctuactive.
and u feel scared about that.

When my coin's are down I try to buy more coin's and strengthen my my
position. Too bad I don't have money to act fast in time's of dip, but first
money goes to that. In some way I hope dip will last, to have more time to
get to some money and make purchase.
I hold no matter what. I never think about selling, I think about buying more
all the time. Building up portfolio take's time and money, time is what I have
but I don't have enough money to buy all the coin's I want to have.

about it ,
that mean u truly believe about your chosen coin.
but i never do that since fall down on feb and march
i create a new strategy about my investement,
like split to another altcoin for investement , joining some promising ico,buying some token when i missed the good ico.

Rather than holding for an year without moving the asset anywhere else, it is good to keep hold of the assets and make use of the period when price increases and once again buy back when price gets lowered. Surely this is possible, because the market will never grow constantly on a single side.

new users are very inadequately reacting to the state of affairs on the Trade even. Because of Their panic actions, you will sell, then replace the assets, unreal events are happening and the market is very much lowered.

Swing trading? Ergh! That might be a little hard.
Too much if it is a week of a trading time table and you must really set a good one.

The volatility might get into you and give a larger loss. I suggest looking for another option for this could really mess up all the trading capabilities that you have or worse you will never come back due to a huge loss.
Be very wary of what is happening daily. That is how I do it for now. Maybe you can keep track of what is happening first with the token you will be trading before making such huge decisions.

A 10% loss or gain means you would be trading daily. If you want to buy some coins and watch them grow as you believe in the market then do so. But don't check back every week and don't sell when your at the lowest point on the graph. Instead buy and hodl until X $ amount or X sat price and liquidate then. Having a game plan in trading is everything and watching the markets doesn't help with that. Also once the market is truly in a bull or bear run, you will know because more people in real life will be discussing it which means you won't have to keep a keen eye on it.
