Why shouldn't long-term investors and short-term traders use the same stock product —— How Cryptocurrency Traders Understand Stock Products Series | Chapter 13 Many people's first reaction when choosing stock products is: Which product has the highest revenue But I think we should first ask ourselves a question: Are you an investor or a trader? Due to different investment objectives, holding periods, and risk tolerance, suitable stock products naturally vary. Long term investors: More importantly, 'having value'. If you are optimistic about the long-term development of a company and hope to hold it for a few years or even longer, then what you should truly focus on is: Enterprise fundamentals; Industry growth potential; The future profitability of the company. In this case, RealStocks is more in line with the logic of long-term allocation. For example, if you have a long-term outlook on the AI, semiconductor, or technology industries, you can choose high-quality companies to buy in batches and hold for the long term. The most important thing for long-term investment is not to predict daily fluctuations, but to be a long-term investor: Choose the right asset and then give enough time and patience. If it meets the official applicable conditions, some products also support Zero Fee, which can help reduce the transaction costs of long-term investments. ⚡ Short term traders: It is more important to 'capture volatility'. The logic that short-term traders focus on is completely different. They may be concerned about: Financial report CPI、 Non farm payroll, Federal Reserve interest rate negotiations, industry hotspots, and breaking news. Because they don't necessarily want to hold a company for several years, but rather want to capture price changes over hours, days, or even weeks. At this point, Stock Futures may be more suitable for short-term trading needs. It supports: ✅ long ✅ short selling ✅ Leveraged trading However, we need to pay special attention to: Leverage can amplify returns, but it can also amplify losses. The risks of fund rates and forced liquidation also mean that these products are more suitable for traders with certain trading experience and risk management capabilities. Cryptocurrency trader: may be more concerned about how funds are used. For those accustomed to the USDT and cryptocurrency trading systems, the traditional trading methods for stock products may not be the most familiar. Therefore, tokenized stocks are also a direction worth paying attention to. One of its core meanings is to attempt to connect the usage of traditional stock assets with encrypted assets. For native encrypted users, this may provide a different way of participating in stock assets than traditional securities accounts. Of course, the specific trading rules, asset equity, trading hours, and applicable regions all need to be subject to the official rules of the platform. So, there is no 'best' stock product. @In MEXC's stock products, if you are: Long term investors → pay more attention to RealStocks Short term traders → can learn about Stock Futures Crypto native users can follow Tokenized Stocks What really needs to be matched is not the product, preferably: Your investment goals+holding period+risk tolerance. Mr. Xiaolong's Observation A mature trading system is not about finding a 'universal trading tool'. We just need to know: When to invest, when to trade, and what tools should be used. Many times, direction judgment is not wrong. The real problem may just be: I used the wrong tool. So, before entering the market, I usually ask myself three questions: Do I want to earn money for business growth or for price fluctuations? How long do I plan to hold it? Do I really understand the risks of this tool? By considering these three questions clearly, product selection will naturally become much clearer. Next preview: What is the difference between stocks, stock tokens, and stock futures In the next article, we will directly compare three types of products from the dimensions of asset attributes, trading methods, leverage, and risk. Finally, I have a question for everyone: If you could only choose one stock product in the next year, which one would you choose? Why?
