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. As I am new here I think it is best for me to trade through long term holding.
If you're good in long term then you don't have to change anything and the same goes for the short term trades.
An investor can make any strategy as per their choice.
And traders as well. But for most investors like me, I'm choosing to stay long term because that's the best strategy that I've come up with as a hassle free strategy.
I'm not sure with the others but this has proven a lot to me but as you trade, that you might come with something else.
