Often time I met saying I'm into trading I don't do investment, on the other some I'm into investment, trading is on a very high risk demands.

It is a trap.

If you are rich, you don't trade but will choose investment instead.
If you are poor, you are more keen on trading as you think it is a way to help you get rich more quickly than investment.

Fact is painful, you are poor and get poorer by trading and worse your life will have lower quality as you have to be affected from stress by trading.
The rich get richer by investment and their life is happy as they don't have stress from trading.

If you can be good in investing, then why not learn to be skillful in trading too. After all, if you’re doing good both in it

Even so, you have to be good in capital management as if you use your investment capital and switch it to trading, you will probably lose most of it.

I am doubtful that if you are a successful investor, you can be a good trader.

The truth is you can lose money in both trading and investing if you do not have good mental foritude, flexibility and also the right mindset. The problem is people think that they will immediately become successful when they first put their money without knowing it is just the first step and they need to finish the other steps in order to reap what they sow. The mindset is everything, if you think you can immediately beat the market and earn a lot of money by just investing then you are in the wrong path. There are always risk around in this market and it is because of its nature of being uncertain which means there is no a sure thing.

In order to make money, you need financial literacy, right knowledge and right mindset. Take note that you cannot earn it by just studying whole day. It takes a lot of time, maybe months or even years just for you to have foundation that you can use in order to beat the market.

I'm a both investor and trader, how do I do it? Let's simply first explain what is trading and investing. For me trading is under of investing which means that is is also considered as investing if you put your money on trading account. The only difference for me is the timeframe that you are using. In investing, it takes months to years while trading it takes to minutes to weeks. I simply have 2 trading portfolio where in my first portfolio I'm a trader specifically a momentum and swing trader and on my other portfolio I'm a investor where I do long term holding.
