Topic: Why long-term trading! - page 7. (Read 1480 times)
Full pledge investors almost having a long term strategy than of short time. Definitely, due to expertise and long engagement in the same field they find out that there is something they got from holding. Of course, crypto are quite moving and its price going high also most probably it could be x2 or more for the next year.(what a big profit).
Because long term holding pays off much higher in returns. With short term trading you can buy free lunch but with long term trading you can find yourself buying whole new car or similar big things..
That is only if a trader was able to pull it off. At the end of the day, trading long term does not guarantee profit would be made anymore than short term trading could. What looks like an advantage with long term trading is in the hope it brews that the extra time would bring good tidings, but the market price remains the ultimate decider interestingly, there are profitable traders in both divide. 
Because we still can't predict what will happen with crypto and market - so it seems to be wise to hold on and watch the situation.
That sound really an interesting idea, to be honest I'm really jealous to the people who can choose either long-term or short-term trading, I don't even consider myself as a trader as well, I just sell my tokens when the value is really good or when I really need a fiat, though to be honest I really wanted to try short-term trader or even the so called day trader, I just don't have the time right.
There is still time for you to learn and try the most idealistic way of earnings. Patience is very important as a trader, only those whoa have these certain attitude might only survive. A lot of people tried these thing but some of them just failed due to lack of courage and of being impatience. 
Sometimes when you make a wrong move you become a long-term trader not on your's free will 
But seriously It is a decent way for assets that have a history at least 3 month and more where you can at least make graphs and apply fibo and notice the behavior of the asset.
Lol but you are right, the problem is that many people after making a bad trade sell immediately their coins, that is fine if you are really a short term trader but if the coin in which you invested is good then there is nothing wrong with holding for sometime and see if the coin recovers or if it gives you profits in a longer term, many of the losses that traders suffer could become winning trades if they just waited for long enough. But seriously It is a decent way for assets that have a history at least 3 month and more where you can at least make graphs and apply fibo and notice the behavior of the asset.
if you look at the current situation of the market is experiencing a lot of decline then I strongly agree with your opinion for long-term investment because with us make long-term investment then we will get a lot of profite in the future .. crypto will grow not within 1- 7 days but will grow within a period of 1-2 years, so be patient for the future 
Long term trading is very good because it gives you enough time to make good corrections that might arise after you bought the coin, in long term trading, you can make more profit because the price of the coin will rise far above the amount it was when you bought it initially. In long term trading, you do not need to monitor the coin every time unless at your leisure time.
By doing long term trading can gives you good profit rate but ofcourse it entails of patient to hold your coins. As long you are in the right moves to hold it you can be successful to earned. Sometimes I don't have time to short term trade so usually I'm one of those who does on long term hold.

I do not agree with you. With a long investment, you can really not keep a close eye on the price. But the profit of the short-term is higher. You can not sit 24/7 because the exchange itself will sell your coin at your price when the time comes...
Of course you can disagree with me. I myself trade short-term, and have a long-term portfolio. However, statistics say that long-term trade is more profitable.
I'm not saying that day trading is not profitable on it you can earn as much, but it is not suitable for everyone without experience will not earn much on day trading.
When there is experience in trading then you can trade short-term, my opinion.
Last year, I traded short-term and missed the opportunity to earn a lot. This is why I like longer-term trade.
And this post was for beginners.

In longterm trading the chances that you get more profit or high profit is very high because mostly the coins needs few years to increase the price. In shorterm you can get only some profit because it takes only few months. But it depends to the coin that you hold also.
In trading, there should always be a goal if a person bought a coin for 10 cents and, according to his analysis, should sell 15, then you need to sell or put a stop-loss when the price is 15 cents.
To buy a coin without a goal is not trading but investment.
Agree, but what I meant is that many people may try to stop you from selling, when you are completely ok with the price token has right now. But yeah trading and investment are not as much different.

Same as situation now. I prefer long-term trading because I need to save up fiat through tokens. That encourages me to do so because I have dreams to fulfill and I don't want to keep dreaming only I need to make it and prove it that cryptocurrency is worth fighting for my dreams,my goals. Though,honestly I almost give up but then I continue because life must go on no matter what the situation of cryptocurrency and I chose this life.

I agree with what you said. Long term trading is suitable for people who cant frequently monitor the market or dont want to have headaches when the market is not what they expected it to be.
I've been a long term hodler for more than a year now and I chose this strategy because this is the best that suits me as I also have day job.
Short term or long term I believe they are profitable and it will depends on the trader itself how to manage their investment. Choosing the right coin and timing when to sell is important regardless what strategy to use.
Holding for the long term is simply the best strategy so if you care about making money, and I suppose that as an investor you care about such a thing, then you need to hold for the long term, I know that not everyone likes to do it and they prefer to trade for the short term, but the amount of effort you need to do, the fees and the taxes you need to pay make it a strategy that very few can employ successfully.

I am sure that the market is constantly being manipulated. Therefore, the less we buy-sell each coin, the less mistakes we make and earn more.
Long term trading is no doubt really a good option especially at time when the market is not behaving good and that the market value of the crypto coins is falling. It is better to stay patient at such times even if you are only up for day trading as day trading in such situation will only result in the loss of money and that you will not be able to make anything profitable. You need to be smart in your decisions.
Your statement is correct. With ling term trading we can make risk smaller. Generally all good and legit coin will goes up because cryptocurrencies is deflationarry asset and can not be printed like fiat money or any stock. And cryptocurrencies also the futures of economic model. Thats why trader with long term strategies will win and most of day trader will loose..
I think this question is quite difficult to answer. But I will. I think this is all because of the instability of cryptocurrencies as many oppose them and therefore they fluctuate so much.
Long term is better than short term trading because short term is very stressful and everybody knows that long term investment is more profitable than short term so I chose long term.
