Cryptocurrency Trading

How Crypto Differs from Forex

• 24/7 market — No closing bell. The market never sleeps.
• Higher volatility — 10-20% daily moves are normal
• Lower liquidity — Some coins have thin order books
• Exchange risk — Hacks, outages, regulatory issues
• Storage risk — You need to secure your own keys

Strategies That Work in Crypto

Swing Trading — Works well in crypto's trending nature Scalping — Requires fast execution and low fees HODLing — Long-term holding through volatility

Risk Management Is Even More Critical

Crypto can move 10% in minutes. Risk 0.5-1% max per trade. Use wider stops. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
