The very basic strategy in trading for what I'm doing now in the present was I bought bitcoin at low price and never buy at high price like what the price we got it now, all you need to do for awhile is just wait until it reaches the 1200$ then sell it, that's it!
That what you are describing has more to do with a buy low and sell high method, and not so much with actually trading. From my point of view, traders repeat the cycle of buying and selling several times a day, or at the ultimate, several times per week. That's what I consider to be trading. No matter what levels the price is sitting at, trading is always possible. You just have to make sure you have a decent amount of coins that you'll be using as your initital balance, plus a decent amount of fiat. If that's in place, then you're ready to make money (assuming you have enough experience).
If I'm not mistaken, this is correctly called the
BTFD strategy
Ultimately, all successful trading strategies come down to buying low and selling high, though the path to that can of course get very convoluted and twisted in the interim. Apart from that, what you describe as trading, i.e. buying and selling a few times a day, or at max, a few times a week, has more to do with scalping and day trading, not trading as such. In other words, you can wait as long as required patiently waiting for many weeks, and then, with just one trade, book insane profits (or just good profits). As to me, we can't really distinguish trading from simple holding by just the number of trades you make per unit of time
