Trading is indeed difficult to do.
Long term trading may take weeks, months or even a year or so. You may call it as "long-term holding" or simply "holding".
Long-term trading is good for those who:
- want to invest
- has a job that requires at least 8 hours a day
- want to earn extra income
- non professional traders or beginners
But of course you will have to consider these things before investing:
- invest money that does not limit your ability to meet other financial needs
- should be willing to lose some
- higher investment, more risky and higher potential of loses and/or rewards
These are the benefits of long-term trading according Anne Chapman (2015):
- You are not required to find new opportunities every time. Just hold on the coins you believe has a potential. Do not bother yourself with other cryptocurrency focus on your work and family.
- You have more time to plan and study the charts for analysis of trend
- You only need to employ simple techniques.
First, identify major areas of support/resistance (does a trend have room to develop?
Second, look for chart/candlestick patterns (do they reinforce a trend continuation?)
Finally, look for a logical and high probability point of entry and manage the trade
- You will experience less stress since you do not have to monitor the charts, price, trend etc. every time.
- You only have to work less. Check your coin in a month or weekly basis, etc
Thank you.
