Bitcoin Forum

Can someone please elaborate to me how trading works? I'm a newbie here so I guess I still need a little headstart. Thank you for answering.

What trading are you referring to? Bitcoin trading or altcoin trading? Be specific for us to answer your questions. You can try also reading other topics here.

bitcoin trader or altcoins?

it is such a broad question! which part of trading don't you understand?

trading is when you buy something at some price then you sell it to someone else at a higher price. then from the difference you make profit.
it can be buying winter cloths now and selling them in 4 months when winter is here at higher price and make profit.
it can be buying stocks on the market and when the company grew bigger, sell your stocks for higher price
or it can be buying currencies against each other (bitcoin versus USD) and when they go up in price sell for profit.

for the last 2 you sign up on an exchange or use a broker. in bitcoin people always use an exchange.

Trading in general is simply just buying a certain cryptocurrency low and selling them at a certain price depending on how much profit your goal is.

Probably read this to get a better, more broad idea: https://www.coinstaker.com/cryptocurrency-trading/

Very general question but the trading is easy stuff when you do it in the long run. In the world of crypto currency the day trading is most famous. In this you will have opportunities to invest money into different altcoins and trade them against the bitcoin pair. First of all learn what an exchanger is where you will be spending most of the time doing your day trades. Then learn what is most pumped coin and what is most dumped coin. Then learn to read the graphs and historical data from which you will predict the ultimate fate of coins in the long run. Visit the trading discussion section often to know which coin is about to explode and an opportunity for you to grab the profits with its investment.


This might look very easy but these are just headings of storyline and the real story is big which you have to learn by all yourself. Slowly and steady. :-)

Trade mean buy with low rate and sell when its high.suppose you bought 50 waves at .0010BTC rate per coin and you need to wait for a pump, suppose after your buying now the waves coin price is .0012btc so you can sell now all of your coin and take profit from them.its the simple trick for crypto trade.
I just try to understand what i know about trade or what i followed.

Trading works that in the moment when you think that the price is low you buy (so for example Bitcoin). And when you think the price is high - you sell. That's pretty much the main basic of trading

Garl, trading is when you are buying in a low price and sell it when the price goes high. It is like buying a stock in a stock market. Don't be confused to what trading is. You can just search for more informations if you are not yet satisfied to the replies you got.

Trading needs capital to start and the profit you will gain will be depending on how much your going to spend to your capital. So if you really want to join trading then you need to use your salary. I suggest you just join signature campaigns so you can have a good head start.

It's a lot like trading in the stock market. Most cryptocurrency exchanges allow immediate trades which is very similar to typical day trading sites like Ameritrade , Etrade, etc.

These exchanges are risky though because they are not necessarily like an established business. They could be based anywhere in the world and they could get hacked and lose you money or they could be fraudulent and steal your money with almost no chance of getting it back.

The good exchanges have platforms that are easy to trade on and allow trades with fiat currencies and various altcoins and Bitcoin. You just transfer Bitcoins to the exchange that you choose and place sell and buy orders just like you would with stocks in the stock market.

Trading in crypto currency is pretty basic, buy when there the value is low a.k.a dumping and sell as soon as you make profit. There are also day trading where you buy and sell for profit same day, medium term trading where you buy and sell within a few weeks and/or few months and finally long term trading where you hodl your coins for long-term and sell for profit after wards. You will aslo be needing exchanges to carry out your trading orders.

First of all,you have to constantly research on  the markets..And one more thing is,patience..Whatever coin you buy,you have to wait for it's best price..And then sell the coin...

Trading is basicly functioning on simple principles, buy low and sell high. But in practice that isn't that easy and there are different forms of trading and therefor different rules. So you should explore first and learn some basic theory and principles. Trading is not easy job and it takes time and experience to become successful and make profit.

Trading usually works on the simple phenomena i.e. buy low sell high with little bit of fortune. A trader start investing in bit coins when their prices are low and trade them off during the dump period of bit coin in market i.e. rise in the price of bit coins. This might be a little helpful for you for understanding how trading works.

Before it you did it? I mean have you experience of trading? I think you wanna start trading, then firstly you decide which coin you want to buy, the best forever is bitcoin, and it is easy to deal with bitcoin as a trading, then you know in bitcoin how to work, within week bitcoin price is down then it is right time to buy the bitcoin in this time, and try to buy some satoshi as you could afford it easily then hold for some time, even in the next month you can sell your satoshi in a profitable price. So it is bitcoin trading.

I think the basic concept in either here or IRL is like buying something in low price then sell it to someone you know who would need it more at a much higher price. Then you get profit after you sold it. This idea would be the same in crypto trading. But the catch is that you have to know what you are buying and who your are selling and at how much was the cost then compared to now.

Trading is work as buying at bottom and selling at top . That is the basic thing about trading, beside if you want to trade you need more skills and mostly is luck.

Trading in btc and trading in alts are a bit different from each other but in essence they're the same. With your capital, you select a trusted coin you're going to invest on, study the previous movements, wait for a good time to buy, preferably when the price is down like what's going on with bitcoin right now, and sell when you're in profit.

trading works when you deposit some money in some exchanger, you will be the one who decide to choose on which you need to deposit, so the thing is you need to research for it first so that you will not be regret everything if the coin that you will invest for doesnt grow, so take advice by someone also and read some articles and even some topic here in this forum so that it will helps you.

In this forum many topics are discussing about how trading works.
first you must learn basic trading, such as how to deposit / withdraw / sell and buy a coin in exchange.

Trading you must watch tutorials everywhere and know basic works. trading needs to be more patient . 
How this works?
- buying a currency in low amount and selling it in higher amount

From this forum you can process a lot of information about trading and you should not think there is a secret some were than thread and comments people make here. I lean everything I know now from this forum especially the altcoins section. Trading is just all about buying low and sell high. You should not venture into trading without proper and adequate knowledge on how trading work and the understand on how to know when price is down or up. 

Trading works with some basic rules :
- Buy at bottom and sell at top
- Research some Pre-ICOs for some oppotunities.
- Looking for news to decide the price is gonna up or down to buy or sell.

Indeed! These are the basic points which you need to keep in your mind before getting in to trading. I think that the most important thing which matters the most is that how much knowledge about that business you have and how much skills you have. If you don’t have enough knowledge, then better is first learn about it and then get into trading.

Basic trading is very simple we buy the cryptocurrency  in low price and sell it to higher price so we have profit from this activity. But you must be smart to make decision and choose which coin more profitable in that time. Then you should wait  the coin increase the price, in trading you must be patient and don't panic.

You are right. Panic can make a person lose and that should be avoided in trading is greedy.
If you get 10% do not expect 90% profit if you do not know about the coin.

Crypto Trading in a nutshell is about buying a coin when the price is low and sell it once its price go up.
But it requires technical analysis, you must consider the bitcoin price and events to prevent loss.

The most famous quote for traders while trading, “Buy low sell high.” It is more advisable to sell your bitcoins when prices are rising in the market so that you can have maximum profit from it and to buy more bitcoins when their prices are falling in the digital market.

Buy low sell high, educate yourself when you want to focus in trading. And make sure to do lots of research on the coin you want to trade with. There are some coins that are low as of now but does not really have a future and is not progressing or anything; while there are some who dumped because of the news about China but will try to get back up once all the negative news are over and the coin is stable.
