What is Spot Trading?
Spot Trading is a method where you buy or sell a cryptocurrency at the current market price and you immediately own the asset. In simple terms, when you buy BTC, it sits in your wallet. If the price goes up, you sell it and make a profit, and if the price goes down, you make a loss.
Which platform to choose?
Some popular and safe platforms for beginners:
Name | Features |
---|---|
Bitget | Easy interface, spot and futures trading facilities |
Binance | High liquidity, educational resources |
KuCoin | Start trading at a low price |
Bybit | User-friendly spot trading |
How to open a trade?
Let’s say you want to buy TRX on Bitget :
Step 1 :
● Open an account
● Complete KYC
● Enable 2FA security
Step 2 :
● Deposit funds
● Deposit USDT, BUSD, or BTC
Step 3 :
● Open the market
● Go to the “Spot Trading” section
● Find the TRX/USDT pair
Step 4 :
● Place an order
● If you want to buy quickly = Market Order
● If you want to buy at a specific price = Limit Order
Example : If you buy TRX at 0.12 with 100 USDT, you will get 100 / 0.12 = 833.33 TRX
How to calculate profit or loss?
● If you make a profit :
Let's say you buy TRX at $0.12 and sell it at $0.15, then profit = (0.15 - 0.12) * 833.33 = $25
●If you make a loss :
If TRX drops to $0.10, then loss = (0.12 - 0.10) * 833.33 = $16.67
Some tips for beginners :
Start with small amounts, such as $10 or $20 to learn
Focus on popular coins such as BTC, ETH, SOL, TON, NEAR
Use the “DCA” strategy step by step, rather than buying everything at once
Keep a record of your trades, note down your daily trading information in a Google Sheet.
Don't follow rumors, don't invest without understanding if a coin is getting hyped
Warning :
The market can dump at any time
Spot trading is also relatively safe
However, only trade with the money that you can afford to lose
A small example :
Suppose you see the price of TON coin at 6.00 USDT and buy it for 10 dollars. After a few days, the price is 7.00 USDT.
Then if you sell it, your profit will be (7-6)* (10/6) = 1.66 USDT profit!
Conclusion :
You don't need much to start spot trading.
- Just a good exchange
- A little confidence
- Another experienced guide
My final words :
If you are willing to learn, trading will open the door to profit for you. And you need to keep in mind all the events going on in the crypto market and understand the market sentiment.
