Yep, traders are those who buy and sell cryptocurrencies for short periods to gain small percentages of profit,
Traders are different, you say that traders receive a small percentage, but this is not so, a trader on average earns 10% per month, and those who engage in scalping (trade during the day) can earn 105 in 1 day, although this is not the rule and there is an exception, but this happens and what I want to say is that traders are different and earn differently.
I think this number is high on a bull season. Right now that the market is doing well, expect a dege and a serious trader to make more than that amount, atleast a trader can set up a trade twice in a week and make %5 in every trade and that's 10% on average, if you do the math's for a month, that's 40%, that's good amount and been safer than making 1000% in a year holding and refuse to sell untill everything crash down by 50% from top.
Trading might look smaller in profits but to be honest, you make minor losses in trading than holding and that's the difference between the two but there is nothing bad in holding and trading at the same time.
