I keep my patience consistent thinking long term investment thinking rather than short term investing. I think with these principles I will achieve success in my trading at some point.
Long term investment is better than short term investment. In long term investment you stay calm and don't get disturbed by various news in the market. You know that no matter how much the market falls, your investment is not for a short period of time but for a long period of time that you will have to wait for. It does not affect the affairs of your life.
Whereas in short term investment you are constantly connected with the market. Sometimes your fear increases when the market falls due to any bad news.You have to keep yourself updated with every moment of market news and constantly monitor the market.Sometimes, contrary to our expectations, our guesses may turn out to be wrong. The point is that short-term trading requires you to be very mentally engaged.So you are right that long term investment should be preferred over short term investment.
