The holding trading strategy can be discussed
as one of the long-term trading methods, which relies on buying financial assets (such as stocks or cryptocurrencies) and holding them for a long time, from months to years, with the aim of benefiting from the growth of their value over time.
--- The holding strategy and its advantages
1. Low effort and monitoring: No need for daily market tracking.
2. Benefit from long-term market growth: Historically, markets tend to rise over the long term.
3. Reduction of fees and taxes (in some countries): Due to the low number of transactions.
4. Psychological Comfort: Don't worry about daily price fluctuations.
--- The holding strategy has disadvantages
1. Risks in case of market collapse: You may incur significant losses if you buy at the market peak.
2. Capital Freeze: Your money may remain tied up for long periods without immediate profits.
3. Missed Opportunities: You might miss out on profits from short-term movements or opportunities in other assets.
