Learn to trade with your own knowledge, if you are afraid of experiencing losses then use funds that you can afford to lose, or switch to being a long-term holder.
The best choice is what you have said there and that's becoming a long term holder. Still many doesn't understand the essence of long term holding and how profitable it is.
I think they're because short term on this market and wants to extract as much as they can and to profit as quickly as possible.
The traders remain too because they're in it for the profit but it takes time for them as well to become a profitable trader. If I can choose for others, I'd also say choose to be a holder.
I agree that good trading for long term holding is usually conditional on temporary gains and quick decisions. This method requires observing the market fluctuations every moment, which can be very risky. Long term investing often pays off with patience and time. Investments can grow but the risk is low also compared to trading long term investing is much less affected by market fluctuations which makes the investor profitable and which continues to grow over time.
