Most times at the process of learning your trading you make money by holding and after you may have gain your bases then you can fund your account to continue your trading than trying to be in haste to make profits from trading
If you are trading but turn to holding, you will have risk of holding for loss.
Only luckiness can help you to gain from holding this way because mindset of a trader and mindset of a trader are different. If a trader does not use Stop loss order, holding a position for long time will cause loss, not profit. Except if that trader has a very lucky open position in a market that gives a random decision chances to get profit.
