To be long term trader must huge patience waiting for market recovering after going down to lower price, difference technical as short term trader must cut loss when their trading assets have going down and set up how much cut loss have to sell after returning back to lower price.
I don't think the short term trader not have much patience but only the technical of short term trading make them must take profit as soon possibility and in other side have get braveness for cut loss when price going down. Just take which one benefit for trading as short term or long term.
I think if you can invest for the long term with the right strategy then it is possible to be patient, in this case I think long term traders should always keep an eye on the investment amount so that it is not too much but again the investment is regular. Then in that case, since the investment amount is not high, they may be able to be patient and also get enough funds to give in emergency situations.
On the other hand, for short-term traders, I would say that patience is more important here because understanding the market situation is a very difficult task that depends on proper patience and analysis, and every trade has to be taken based on that, otherwise there is a possibility of loss in most cases.
