🔀 How to combine trading and holding in crypto?
You don't have to choose just one strategy.
Many investors combine holding for the long term and trading to take advantage of volatility.
🧱 1) Separate the capital
The first step is to divide your money into two clear parts:
🟣 Hold (long term): 60–70%
🔴 Trading (short term): 30–40%
👉 This way you avoid touching your long-term investments when the market moves strongly.
🟣 2) Tokens to HOLD
Choose projects with:
Real use
Adoption
Less relative volatility
Examples:
ETH → infrastructure
LINK → data for blockchain
ONDO → real-world assets
👉 These are not traded every day; they are held with patience.
🔴 3) Tokens for TRADING
Choose tokens with:
Good volume
Clear daily movements
High volatility
Examples:
XRP
XLM
ALGO
👉 Here you look for movements, not to get attached to the token.
⏱️ 4) Simple rules (very important)
✔ Do not use your hold part for trading
✔ Use stop-loss in trading
✔ Take profits when they occur
✔ Do not enter due to FOMO
🧠 Simple example
💰 Total capital: 1000 USDT
🟣 700 USDT in hold (ETH, LINK, ONDO)
🔴 300 USDT in trading (XRP, XLM)
If trading goes well, you can transfer profits to the hold.
⚠️ Common mistakes
❌ Trading with everything
❌ Selling the hold out of fear
❌ Mixing strategies
❌ Changing plans every day
🧠 Easy summary
✔ Hold = base of the portfolio
✔ Trading = take advantage of volatility
✔ Separating capital reduces stress
✔ Discipline > emotion
