When I don't take a short term trade in the market I usually trade it for the long term. Because I know that in long term trading the amount of profit can be much higher than the loss. Moreover, trading for long term reduces the risk.
What do you really mean in long time trade? Do you mean swing trade because it seem like you are referring to hodling, you need to know that hodling is different from trading, they are not the same. Also how will profit be much higher than the losses when you have a long time trade compared to short time because profit in the market whether long time or short time depends on the risk taken at the particular trade.
