How to Trade Cryptocurrency for Beginners



How to Trade Cryptocurrency for Beginners?

Trading crypto is one of the most profitable ways to invest money and multiply the initial sum. At the same time, it is one of the riskiest options. The reason is the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market. It does not depend on governmental decisions or central banks - crypto trends are driven by:

  • news background;
  • demand and supply;
  • investors' sentiment;
  • overall situation with the world’s economy (inflation, crisis, wars, etc.).

In this article, we will talk about how to buy cryptocurrency and what are the main trading style.

Crypto Trading for Beginners

Trading implies buying and selling crypto assets, taking advantage of their price changes. It may occur in a matter of minutes (scalping), in one day (intraday trading), in a couple of weeks (swing), or the long term (position trading).

The first three trading styles involve a fast trader’s reaction to the market trends changes. Swing trading gives more time for thinking, and position trading is buying and holding coins for months.

A beginner trader should first try the last two strategies, giving them more time to reflect and analyse the market. However, if a trader wants to learn quick method, one may try demo trading on one of the crypto platforms: WhiteBIT or Coinbase.
