I think short-term trading, like looking for the difference between increases and decreases, is very profitable because, the momentum does exist and, of course, besides making long-term investments.
Short-term trading is not as easy as many people say... many people assume that short-term trading brings more profit than long-term trading... in fact, the thing that influences it is risk considerations, where short-term trading has a greater risk intensity than long-term... every day, has a dense decision so that, they must be forced to have a large winrate from the many decisions made....
If short-term trading was as easy as imagined, I'm sure, I would never have failed a few years ago... it takes energy and accurate analysis to deal with unexpected market manipulation. It's really hard to make predictions.
I think that both short term and long term trading have the same risk. Both trading style depends on the market trends, unfortunately, you may also experience a trend reversal on the day, or hour, weekly, monthly basis. There is Low Time (LTF) and High Time Frame (HTF) are used by traders to determine their entry and exit positions as the market can change within the time of your entry positions.There could be risk to any of these trading styles if the market trends changes.
In fact, Day traders( short time traders) frequently uses Low time Frame( LTF) to quickly close a trader once the prices move a little higher, while Long term Traders uses HTF with other Trading indicators to analyze the market trends. Whether Long term trade or Short term trades, remember that the crypto market can also experience a big dump at any time that could be risky to these Trading styles or patterns.
