Qiao Wang: Short-term trading suits the average beginner investor better In a September 6, 2024 interview on When Shift Happens, Alliance DAO co-founder Qiao Wang @QwQiao said both long-term investing and short-term trading can work-the key is knowing what you're good at. He recalled doing microsecond-level high-frequency trading early in his career, and now focuses on venture investing with multi-year holding periods. Qiao believes short-term trading works better with smaller capital, allowing for rapid compounding through frequent turnover, while larger capital tends to be pushed toward long-term investing. In terms of approach, he said trading is essentially about studying history-identifying repeatable statistical patterns from past data. Short-term trading offers fast feedback to validate strategies, whereas long-term investing requires learning from successful investors' track records.
