For beginners, I would advise you to trade long-term, but such trade does not suit impatient people, sometimes you have to wait a very long time, a couple of months, and maybe a year, and sometimes even more.
first of all this is not called trading anymore. this is an investment.
secondly what you are doing is in fact encouraging more people to become bag holders specially since you posted this in altcoin board. usually altcoins don't have a good future in long term!!!
1. Compared to intraday trading, you do not need to be in front of a computer and watch the price 24/7, so the trader experiences less emotional stress.
trading has nothing to do with sitting behind your computer 24/7 and if you are doing it or thinking day-trading means that then you don't know what trading is!!!
2. Only when using long-term trading, it is realistic to take above 100% of the profit from 1 deal. With intraday strategy, this is hardly possible (except that a miracle will happen).
you clearly have never seen altcoin prices rise aka get pumped!
here are today's "miracles" that are so rare that they happen every day with a new set of coins (at least 5 pumping coins every day)
3. Unlike intra-day trading, you do not need to be a professional, enough to have basic knowledge.
to trade whether it is long term or short term you need to be a professional or at least have some knowledge and enough experience to choose wisely first and act according to market movement second.
otherwise buying and holding random shit is never going to make a "trader".
Not sure if there's a standard to be called as trading or investing itself. As far as I can tell you that investment usually done for years and long term trading itself a planned trade to do buy and selling for certain ( long ) periods. As long as you do it frequently ( buy and sell ) you are trading.
Some people even still thinks that trading no matter it is day trading / scalping etc it's just gambling , yeah in the end everything that has no certain outcome and you only guessing , that's gambling, otherwise when you trade based on real data and predict the price accurately most of the times then it wasn't gambling at all.
Doesn't matter what kind trade you do without any consideration but looking for miracle to get a huge unexpected profit you won't end up in a good way , that's what every beginner should know.
