For me, Try the same method if you know the coin has a potential to get high value on long term try to hold it and bring extra capital for the short term method or Day trading.
Example you have 1Btc in tour wallet.
use 0.5btc for long term method and use 0.5btc for Day trading method it gives you a huge profit or Sell the coins you holding if you know that theres a retracement or a rebuy and buy it again when the prive has decreased.
Having an option on a trading is a good way to lessen the risk. If you ae going to choose between long term or short term trading, remeber that in trading it does not matter the specif term you will get into the trading what really matter the most is how you are going to manage you trading. Always remeber the basic trading method the price monitor that may help you on determing what decision you will do. Just work hard and have dedication for your tradings to earn.
