Who are traders?

A trader is an individual who involves him/herself with the procuring and dumping of assets in any financial market. This can be achieved for either him/herself, on behalf of another person, or another institution. The question that may come to many people’s mind is that, then what’s the difference between a trader and investor? The short answer evolves around the duration for which the person holds the assets. Investors have a tendency to look at the bigger picture and look at this as a long-term by which the investor holds an invest until they need the money back they invested. On the other hand, traders tend to hold the asset for a short-term based on the trends.
