With trading you should have a lot of knowledge for other coins and know which one to invest where and how much it would give you profit and in investing you just have to watch the one you invest grow or go low.
Yes I agree with you here is big difference between these two from trade you can get a daily profit and from investment you have to wait but both of them are profitable and it will help you financially I like investment as compare to trade because from investment I can get all my profit at one time and which can help me in target to achieve.
Even the profits in trading depends upon the situation or the criteria you are investing in. If you invested on some dump coin and are waiting for profit than surely it is useless and won't really give you a good profit and also you may face loss sometimes.
But in investment, you always have some money left behind in investment and that will never be shortened but will always increase its value and will continue giving us some good profits in future. Also trading may secure our present but investment may secure our present as well as future.
Trading and investing are very much different sort of things and there is nothing common in between them. The most basic difference in between trading and investing is that in trading you deal with buying and selling of different kind of things or coins.
While investing is something related to putting your money into some kind of business. Trading is more profitable but very much risky too.
