A long term trader should be able to understand how the market works over the time and should be carried away by the bull trap that showed up few days ago, technically if I am a full trader I would jump into trading rather I would involved myself with DCA to cumb up my portfolio and when the stabilizes I jump back into trading again.
As long as you understand the mechanism and strategy, whether it's trading or holding, it will always be profitable. Umm, what I mean is it will give you a bigger profit than a loss. Both still have risks, but as long as you can manage the risk well, it will turn into profit and income that is certainly worth it.
Personally, I prefer long-term holding, but indeed, sometimes I just do trading, not in the Future market, just short-term trading to take advantage of the opportunity for the pump and dump scheme. But indeed, not that often because the focus must be better on the market.
