As long-term trading you have more opportunities to sell at higher prices. Coins do not have to grow forever, if you hold them for long periods, you will keep track of the price often, and sell at a more reasonable price in the short run.

Hello all, I am engaged in trading and I am often asked by beginners how to trade long-term or short-term strategy.
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.
This strategy has a number of advantages, especially for beginners.
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.
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).
3. Unlike intra-day trading, you do not need to be a professional, enough to have basic knowledge.

Why I recommend this strategy. Based on personal experience, I often sold coins for example + 30% and literally in a week could sell + 100%.
You can also put a stop loss when the price is + 30%,and move the stop as the price increases.

This is my opinion, I do not force you to adhere to this strategy, study trading if it interests you and find your strategy.
I hope someone helped, If you have any questions, ask always happy to help.. Good luck!BTCBTC

I think what you call ‘long-term trading’ is better known as and better called ‘Investing in a Portfolio’ of BTC and good altcoins and Hodling through market upturns and downturns with sensible adjustments to your portfolio - i.e. taking profits and cutting your losses. This is how nearly all new crypto investors would start out as they get to know the market and crypto, how exchanges work, the wild swings up and down of crypto prices etc. one good piece of advice is to set profit goals when you buy a crypto coin, and at what price you will take 20% profit, 50% profit etc while letting the rest of the money you’ve made ride!

The ‘short-term’ trading is as you describe, and it is an area for experts with good equipment and sceeens and time to devote most of the day to with you closing out most of your positions at the end of the day at a profit or loss. Most people starting this list money the first few months and you can easily lose all your capital in a market like crypto, and it’s not a thing for newbie crypto investors to try.

The other type of trading is ‘swing trading’ where you buy a crypto and hold it for days or weeks selling at a predetermined profit or stop-loss, and this would be a stepping stone I think from having a portfolio to then allocating a small part of your capital to swing trading on paper first and then live. But again you can easily lose that trading capital of the market goes against you which it often does in crypto, and then as you say you can be left wishing you’d just hodled the damn coin when you look at its price in a year or two after a bull run! Crypto investors beware!

It is always suggested you should opt for long term trading because it involves less risk as compared to short term trade. Short term trade can be compared to Day trade which is very risky as you never know when market will crash as I believe once in two weeks market is always red and such conditions can decrease your investment greatly.

I choose long-term trading for one reason - the lack of time. As soon as I have the job (from Monday to Friday), I cannot deal with the day trading. Everything is simple.

With beginners, long term trading is the best. It does not require much experience and it saves time too. You will not have to be always monitoring the market price and you can sell it when the price is suitable for you.

i also do mostly long-term hodling or trading, removes the short-term noise from mkt volatility, then it's up to ur skill to evaluate the tokens based on their fundamental strength.
Making day trading is stressful and takes all your time to monitor the market prices and the changes in this volatile market. Better to have a long term investment to stay relax with the price volatility and be patient to wait for the best price to come.

Since you invest long-term, you only invest in crypto top 2 in the market, it would be good for them to make long-term investments in BTC or ETH and bitcoin. Sometimes coins will not last long enough so we have to be careful in choose coins for long term trading.
Actually the potential coin is not just bitcoin and ethereum alone dude. there are many other potential coins. which you can buy
and hold for the long term. and the profits are no less great than investing in bitcoin. but the risk may be greater. but still profitable for long term

I've been using that long term trading strategy since I started investing in cryptocurrency a couple of years ago. I chose this strategy because I have no time to monitor the market often. I bought some coins that is in the top ten list of the cryptomarket because I believe that these top coins have more potential to grow or bounce back in the future.

Long term holding offers you the opportunity to offset any losses you could have incured if you have been day trading. If price move against you in long term holding,you don't bother much since your objective might be a long term.
If you dont have much time for day trading long term trading is the solutions. You have to hold a coins good for long term if not this will waste of your time.

When I was just starting out, I chose the right strategy, bought a few different coins and bitcoin and just waited. But motom I wanted to try trading and at first it worked, but now I'm in the red. So now I prefer to keep coins!
In theory it may seem like trading can give you greater profits than holding your coins and that is true if you are a very good trader but if you are not then trading will only cost you money, not only the money you lose in trading but all the books and courses that you buy should be considered as part of the costs as well as the time you invest trying to learn how to trade.

That is a good suggestion because you have talked in terms of profitability and risk reducibility. This is what long term trading is all about. You really get the time to day away from the daily panic and hold the portfolio until the market is good enough to cash the money. Also you get a whole rise in the monetary value of the coins you hold in your portfolio in one time so that is a lot better than day trading actually.

I know you are right when looking for long term investments we should choose coins very carefully and only invest in those coins which have the possibility of living for more than 1-2 years as it increases the profit on your investment. But if you think only Bitcoin and Ethereum can provide this quality then you are wrong as there are many new good coin which will be huge success in the coming years as their team is putting full effort and their work will defiantly pay in the coming years.

Almost of the good traders are know that holding cryptos with long term period is profitable. Everyday the price or the value of token that you are holding is pumping or dumping, it depends on your patience and emotions because being a traders it is just a risky moves to sell or buy crytptos. So holding in long period if time or in a specific time ypu can earn more profits.

Id prefer also long term trading, its the best way to engage in crypto because we dont know when will the price got pump and dump. as long as you invested in the  good coin.because sometimes there are coins that will not last long enough so we gotta careful in choosing coin for long term trading. And the advantages of long term trading is when you buy a coin in a lower price in the future it will triple or double.



Long term trading is most likely a wise option especially for a beginner. There will be continuous pump and dump on the price. And this would entail confusion and emotional pressure particularly to a beginner. So, as the strategies are still on process of absorbing, long term trading is a good start.

I prefer long-term trading because I think Bitcoin is the future and will increase in value. Also from my experience, I think long-term trading will give you more profit than short-term.


Choosing long-term trading, or holding, you reduce the risks to lose the money you invested in the cryptocurrencies. I am glad that I am ready to hold the crypto for long.

I have a lot of altcoins that i'm holding on my cold wallet. i know that this altcoin has future and potential that their value will increase over time since they have a really excellent developers and massive community. Some of the alitcoins is really worth it for long term but others are not since other developers is abandoning their project if no one will support them.
