I invested part of the money (most of it) in long-term transactions and left part for trading, and in all cases investing (or long-term transactions) was more profitable. At the same time, I spent much less time on them than on trading and I could avoid all the losing trades that happened in trading and took my time, money and my nerves. Now I trade less and less and tend to focus my attention on long-term trade.
Long-term is where patience lies and evolves.
You are keen to make fewer mistakes in that way, and you just hodl till you think it's enough and it's time to get PNL to be realized at last.
