I begin short term trading because of my colleagues at work.
Some of them trade stocks, some trade cryptocurrencies, some trade gold.. But most of them have the same obstacle.. #Emotional.. That's how they become short term traders.
I'm a mixture. I have portfolio of stocks for long term and I do short term trading (#day-trade and #scalping).
#day trading and #scapling on #cryptocurrencies, #gold, #crude oil becomes another part of my investment journey besides long-term investment in stocks. It's less stressful when you are out of a trade within minutes to a day. After that, you still have time for your own lifestyle.😎
