What is trading?
A basic economic concept involving the buying and selling of stocks, commodities, currency pairs, or other instruments, with the intention to make a profit
What are cryptocurrencies?
Digital currencies
Typically used as a medium of exchange
How do I profit from these? From trading and cryptocurrencies
We trade them as pairs, looking at the change in value between the two (e.g. BTC/USD)
Profits are generated by buying the actual cryptocurrency/asset at a lower price and selling at a higher price within a relatively short period of time (exchange trading)
You can also profit with price going not only up, but also going down (leverage trading)
Markets are open 24/7, 365 days/year
*along your journey you will learn to identify what kind of trading suits you, your personality and your desired lifestyle best.
Exchange Trading
You want the value to go UP in price! (buy low, sell high)
You buy the asset/cryptocurrency
Purchasing cryptocurrencies and holding until the value increases to the target price
We do this with STRATEGY AND RISK MANAGEMENT (not sporadic!)
*what tools do I need for this?
Crypto Wallets, Crypto Exchanges
Always #DYOR
Leverage Trading
You don’t care if the price is going UP or going DOWN; you care about ‘forecasting’ correctly the direction in which a currency’s value will go (strengthen or weaken) relative to another currency (e.g. BTC/USD)
You become in possession of a “contract” (NOT the actual cryptocurrency/asset)
You purchase the contract and hold until the value reaches a target price
We do this with STRATEGY and RISK MANAGEMENT (not sporadic!)
*what tools do I need for this?
MT4 and/or Crypto Exchange (w/ leverage/futures trading)
Always #DYOR
