Bitcoin Forum

So i have decided i will start trading with 2BTC first. I have read many people suggesting me to day trade and earn some good profit daily.
Let me tell you all, i have no experience in trading and it sound so difficult to me so please answer my questions
so how can i start and where can i start?
where to learn the basics? some good books?
how much profit can i expect daily in the beginning?
How to avoid major loss?
is there any professional traders that allow to follow their trades and they charge some fees for it?
Waiting for your answers  ;)

The first step would be to not to get started with 2BTC at all. That's too high an amount to start trading for someone with no experience.
Trading is a long term venture,so you have to properly build on your foundation. Profits in the early stages would be few an far between, but that's the best way to get a feel of it. Avoid trading/sign groups which are shared to you. DYOR.

Use your best learning option, books, videos or articles. I will suggest you try demo trading in the beginning, although a lot of people misuse this feature. If you're serious about learning how to trade, you'll take demo trading as the real thing, only use amounts you would risk in an actual trade and keep trying till you get it right.

Good! Welcome to the crypto universe. Be patient and always control your emotions.


What others say is not important, the important thing is what you know about yourself and how strong confidence you have. If you don't have experience then you have to earn it. Just remember, climbing Everest is also so difficult but humans succeded.


As you said, you don't have experience so I suggest starting with learning because you need to understand the crypto market very well, it is very volatile.
Trading has different strategies and different strategies have a different knowledge base, so you have to learn those.


Youtube can be a good free source, also you can find some source by googling. There are some books I guess, I just can't find the link now but I saw it somewhere a few days ago.


That depends on many things. I suggest don't run for profit at the beginning, instead, trade with small amounts to taste the waters after earning some knowledge, basic or intermediate.


Probably, by controlling your greed and rush decision making also understanding the market trend.


There are trade signal channels that offer free or paid trading signals. But it is a big NO.

We have tons of ways on how to do day trade. But dont expect it to be an easy profiteering activity. Cryptocurrency is very difficult to predict and different from traditional trading. It's very volatile and you could lose everything in a second. Anyway, I'm not scaring you. But this is the truth. Passive income? That's not true  Learn how to use stop loss function to avoid sudden loss, read news about current events on cryptocurrency and evaluate them if there will be a positive and negative impact in market.

Several tips since you do completely start from the beginning.


- Dont use up that entire 2BTC money of yours if you dont like to lose it all unless if you do have thousands of coins then its fine.
- Start on small trades and figure it out on what kind of trading you do prefer either short or long term ones.
- Major loss? Its inevitable but somehow you can lessen it with your own experience and skills.
- Dont hurry and take time to learn up even the basics. Tradingview for plotting out technicals and visit out Babypips.com for total basic terms
 in regards to trade.
- Test small amounts on Binance.com
- Trial and error
- Dont rush up on making money or profit.

You need to plan everything, set a target ... daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.  Stick to that plan and be disciplined.

Minor loss is a must so you can learn something what's wrong from it and fixed everything ASAP. let it flow don't trade feel like under any pressure , do it patiently as time goes by you'll gained experience and that time you are good to go to set higher profit target and so on. The most important part is to not use all the money you have , save it for the unexpected scheme.

True, having a BTC is a good crypto on hand already. Just set aside some funds for trading.


Discipline is important here. Just rade on major coins so that it wot easily dump. Be patient always, and check your position from time to time. Hopefully, OP is ready for trading,  I mean armed with research, knowledge on TA or trading tools, etc for better decision making.

Do not mess with leverage if you're new. It's a terrible thing for people that don't really understand it, and it's going to mess you up if you start out trading with margin. Start by trading on a reputable site without using leverage and read up and test how the site you're using works (VERY important), and start by watching or reading beginner guides on trading on places like Medium or YouTube, and start applying what you learn with a very small amount of money to ensure you're learning but not wasting excessive amounts of money at first.

It's very possible you might not profit much at first. Most new traders tend to lose money simply because of inexperience, but that's fine as long as you're only risking a set percentage of your trading capital per trade and you're not risking more than you can afford to lose. The latter is probably the most important thing you need to remember in trading.

You'll never learn much by copying others' trades, though it's possible and actually built into some platforms like eToro for free (AFAIK). I'd advise against starting out by copying others' trades, because the end goal is to be trading on your own, not by depending on other people. It's fine to occasionally view other peoples' trades to visualize their thought processes and techniques, though.

If you have intention with 2 BTC capital then my first suggestion is to trade at Binance there are many active coins and you can trade with your performance.
You should learn more about how to analyze the correct price of coins or see on YouTube how to practice it, for ways to overcome losses, I think it's a risk but how to minimize it by looking for potential coins.

It's hard for the first time, you should just use 2-3% of your capital to learn the market movement.
Learn basic knowledge of trading is a must, and you have to be more careful to controlling emotion and greed when doing daytrading. I think it's recommend to just hold your BTC right now and use a little for practice trading

Wow, 2 BTC is a lot of capital for me. Many strategies to make a profit with a capital of 2 BTC, The first step I would always
save half the capital that I have on stable coins, to anticipate if the price coins that we buy down then we can buy again at
the bottom price. So later if the price goes up can double profit. The next step is not to buy too many coins with a maximum
of 5 coins so you don't have trouble monitoring them. Lastly don't panic easily in any situation, because panic buy / sell will
make us experience losses.

2 bitcoin is too much for a beginner, do you already know the risks in trading,? don't be easily tempted by big profits like people say, because all that is not as easy as thought, You have to practice with a small capital first, if you are already proficient at making profits, then add the capital.

First, don't go all-in with your 2BTC, Try Binance with 0.01btc, be familiarize with the trading, and how trading works. After that, when you know to yourself that you can trade now with much bigger capital then increase it little by little, don't treat it as gambling that if you are losing, you are going to go all in. This strategy works for me, and I hope this is going to work with you too.

Remember that do it after you watch or read some basics in trading! Don't go trade empty-handed with knowledge. I am just suggesting this strategy because, for me, the experience is the best teacher in terms of trading, but yeah, read or watch some video first.

It would be the best for you to start practicing with small amounts for you to be able to experience how it is to day trade. The experience will teach you more than reading books, watching trading videos, of course, it is a good reference, but trying it first hand would give you more insight into trading. If you fail on your first try, don't get to emotional and just focus, even expert traders lose money in trading. 2 bitcoin is a huge amount to start with and do not use it all-in if you are new in trading.

Start with the basic, "buy low-sell high" in trading. It is better if you start with altcoin trading and long term trading first. You have enough capital but use and choose it to those coins that are worth to buy.

I don't have books to read when I was a starter, I just read everyday some useful contents and article onlines, youtube videos also help me and this forum offers a lot just browse and DYOR.

Profits depend on the situatin and depends on how much is your target profit. Since there are numerous sideways especially in day trading, consider being a swing trader first. And about the major loss, there is a thing called "stop loss".


There are several groups that allows you to join but with paid subscription. It will not guarantee you that their group gives you secure profits. Just learn what you have to know in trading and drop the idea of joining and following paid professional trader's group.

in the beginning, it is better to try with a small amount when you have no basic trading because I have a bad experience with losing a lot of money because it does not have basic trading when I just followed some of my friends who do daily trading. quite a lot of shitcoin, and you have to be careful before buying it, and most importantly not greedy, self-control, because this often makes us lose a lot of money in trading.

I would probably put some of it on savings before I get in that deeply, I don't mean savings in the sense of bank savings account, I would probably put some on staking so that I would get some more while doing nothing, binance started doing staking so now you can literally put all your money on binance and buy those proof of stake coins and just collect cash (depending on coin going up or down you can make even more or even lose).

However, I would try to learn indicators and what they mean, anything could happen in bitcoin world but indicators basically tells you what the market "should" do, it doesn't have to do it but it "should" do it. That kind of stuff matters a lot and you should know them and learn them so you can be prepared a lot better when something unexpected happens.

Don't start using leverage, even traders to had been trading for year lose a lot of money due to it. Start by just selling your BTC for USD and then buy back when it dips. Basically BTC/USDT is the pair. 2BTC is even big enough to play around as a newbie. I could really start with just $200 nothing for you but pennies.  Moving averages and RSI I guess, that's just the indicators to use for starters.

To avoid loss, which should be your first concern is that don't do anything yet unless a spike or price nosedive happen. and when that happens, check the RSI and then take action. This usually work for daily chart so no hurries, wait for days.

I had been sharing this article with the other thread asking what is the guide for the new traders, here it is. https://www.mycryptopedia.com/the-ultimate-beginners-guide-to-trading-cryptocurrency/

Don't invest your 2 bitcoin in one exchange, just split it and invest the half on it and hold for long time purposes. Find a hardware wallet where to keep your Bitcoin safe. The other half is just starting to trade and if you have been fully knowledgeable in trading then, you are good to go. As what they say don't leverage trading because it is high risk. Just do the basic one, sell high and buy low.

Obviously small scale trading is good for new investors. But we have stablecoins in crypto market so we can hold our total investment in USDT and choose some desire project is good. I suggest Bitcoin also best coin in cryptomarket so they hold long term seriously it will going to moon.

The first step is to arm yourself with basic trading. Any basic trading books will do. You can even study all basic trading thru the internet for free. There are too many videos available in youtube. Reading materials are also ample online.

I find it boring when studying on videos and reading materials so it is also good that at the same time you already have an account in any reliable exchanges like Binance. Deposit a small amount like $10 to make it more exciting. You base your gains thru percentage.

Earning regularly in trading is never an easy task. It takes experience to mold a strategy that fits to you. Some people learned fast because they spent more time daily with some sleepless nights.  

Hey please don't do that and if you want to invest to Bitcoins to something please look for the the good and stable investment return plan in your country.
if you invest such a big amount on trading platform you need to face the situation like losing fund are making profit it is usually based on your luck only but in your country e with the good good Government bonds and shares you can get better returns.

You shouldn't wait to trade until you ready , just do it and learn from mistakes later on.

I would tend to agree that trading on a well known altcoins to minimize risk getting a hyper volatile is the most friendly one. For me experience is the best teacher.. rather than learn the theory first . I prefer go out try every single possibility and then learn the theories like how to prevent A , how to get B , how to analyze C etc.
No better feeling than fixed your mistakes and turn it into profit!

That doesn't matter, but in my opinion, 2BTC is too big for those of you who don't have experience in starting trading. start with 0.5BTC to learn trade. I think you can trade on binance, bittrex, bitmex. You can learn graphics there. for profit, I suggest you take 2-5% only. for a loss. I can't give advice ... it's better to learn to understand price movements, patterns, RSI, EMA, and read a lot of news.

2 bitcoin is so big capital for trading if i were you maybe hold that bitcoin and wait for bitcoin price goes up or .5 bitcoin can be your capital in trading. But its up go to  your decision and be confident for what you feel where you can put your money. But its better do not put your money in basket buy a good coins that you can hold and trade for a short and long time investment.

I'm sure other good posters here have given you enough ideas in their answers. I would only suggest that you should not be starting with 2 BTC for your trading. You have admitted that you have no experience and you did not even read the basics about trading. You should not even start with 0.1 BTC in this case. You are throwing away BTC. Actually, if I were you, I would not even trade it. I would rather HODL that 2 BTC and buy altcoins if I have money.

Day trading with 2BTC as capital is good, at least with short profit you can earn much. But make sure you learn basic about trading first, you can find it on google how to trade in crypto market. And maybe if i have big capital, i will split it and then use it to trading and the rest to back up if something bad happen. For profit, maybe when i get profit although not much in percentage, i will take profit. Maybe it is risky when coin that you bought dumped after you buy, but at least you still have rest money that you already save to minimize your loss.

Just to point out, it's too risky for your BTC2 to be traded specially you mentioned that you don't have any experience on it. For the first question, you can start trading on user friendly exchanges such as Binance. For the second question, the best way to learn it is via youtube tutorial, reading of books is an ideal if you know the basic concepts of trading already. For the third question,  the expectation on your profit, isn't measureble as it would depends on the market condition anf your skills. For the firth question, you can avoid majore losses if you know how to apply the stop loss no matter what happen. For the last question, copyying someone's trade in crypto isn't available yet on the available exchanges for crypto. On the other hand it's available for forex and stock exchanges.

2 BTC is already a huge amount so it will be a big risk if you'll trade all of it without enough knowledge about trading. The first thing that you have to do it to know the basics of trading. I guess trading all of the funds that you have in the beginning isn't a good idea. Try to invest some of it first and try the actual trading through a trusted exchange. Read or watch trading tutorials for you to learn fast.

Having that 2BTC is a huge and good amount as your capital but to think on the other side is a very high risk situation since you don't have experience about trading process. Here in crypto currency community, having that amount is a very luck in which they try to make it as a profit on the other way in which not here in crypto but on a business project that can be sustain on our way living. Thus, think about it many times mate in which a lot of users here have a huge losses and you must strong emotions by taking risks here in crypto currency community.

Okay, so you finally want to start trading with 2 bitcoin, it's no problem at all. I suggest you use only 1 bitcoin to day trade and keep 1 bitcoin for emergency money if somehow, the market down deeper and all of your coin has bought at the higher price.

- You can start at binance. That a big exchange, you don't have to verify your account, many altcoins, which can have the potential to increase every day.
- You can watch videos on Youtube to learn the basics lesson of trading. It's better to watch directly on the video so you can know how to trade.
- I think you don't have to think about the profit for the first time because you need to familiarize yourself with trading, and you need to understand how to trade with the right.
- If the market down too deep, there is nothing we can do, but we can minimize the loss by making more buying at a low price so we can expect to make a profit when the price back to increase.
- I don't think that you need to follow their trade because you need to learn to trade by yourself so you can improve your skill in trading and you can know how to react related to the market.

It is not easy, I know, but if you can spend some time to learn more about trading, I am sure that will no need too long to make your profit. The more you can learn to trade, the more profit you can make.

If you are new, I recommend you not to choose daily trading because daily trading can bring you high profits but also a lot of risks. In case you still want to try trading daily, I can give you some tips as follows.
Set your own goals and execute it, take profit at 3% and cut at a loss of 5%.
Mastering your own emotions, in fact, shows that emotions are the enemy of all traders on the cryptocurrency market.
Breaking down your investments into a number of reputable currencies, it's best to invest in one of the 10 largest currencies on the market.
Good luck.

Yes, I also reads a book now, that I know will help me to gain more knowledge in trading, that is the first thing you need to do, that is the first step you may also watch different videos about candlestick reading in youtube for free, you may also download some patters that might help you, then I think if you understand the basics you are ready to choose the coin that you want do some research and there you go, you are ready to trade, start with a little amount for you to familiarize and then the rest is depends on you.

First, Learn the basics.
Second, to get you started signing up for exchanges like Binance,
Third, do a google search on what to avoid in trading.
Fourth, Learn the coins that you should buy better if you are updated with news, coin annocements.
Fifth, you must deposit a small amount first or sign up for exchanges that provide balance to practice trading.

And finally you will experience how to trade and apply what you learned in the third and fourth tips I mentioned. And there you can see how you can earn daily trading.

First of all, you could start by studying not a demo account, and then, when you feel confident, you can start trading your own money. There are enough books and online courses on trading. Choose any strategy that you like and learn. Trading on the cryptocurrency market is not very different from trading on traditional stock markets, but has its own characteristics. Therefore, you must strictly limit your losses.

You have already been given a lot of advice. On my own I will only add the importance of reading books regarding trading. I read only one of the list on the site.
I am sure you yourself will choose the most important criteria for yourself after you master all the basics. The most important thing is not to neglect the theory and continue to study it in parallel practice.
The main thing is not to rush, use only a part of the deposit at the beginning. Losing in trading is much easier than making money.

You can see the list of books here. https://www.stocktrader.com/best-stock-trading-books/

I'm not a big trader, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

If you have 2 btc, you might do better holding it instead of trying to trade.  The price of altcoins generally depends on the price of bitcoin, so you might not be able to beat the bitcoin market if you know what I mean.  Many traders have tried their luck and have lost out, because the altcoin market is extremely volatile and prices can sometimes swing dramatically in a way that you don't want.

You might try investing in some proof of stake coins as well, from which you can earn income.  There are some decent ones on the market and you don't have to really do anything except keep the wallet open in order to earn.  It's a lot less stressful than trading in my opinion and at least the income is predictable. 

If you do start trading, be careful about low priced shit coins with low trading volume.  Also be careful if you use margin.  Profits can be a lot higher but the risk is also higher.  Good luck whatever you do.

I hope you find time to consider other trading strategies before concluding on the day trading. Consider the advice on the risk of using 2btc to start up trading, It will take a lot of courage to accept failure when you are losing but when you notice a big loss take time off. Get a mentor along that you can trust and communicate with often.

He did planned it before having this new thread about trading with his 2BTC. His previous plan was to invest dash and earn passive income from POS but I guess he didn't listen and then started another thread again like this one.

My advice is staking ETHER after the update of the ETHEREUM network which they'd turn POW to POS. I think the minimum collateral as people said was just 32ETH, you can buy a lot than just 32 to earn more.

"HODL" it. Don't engage in trading yet. Since you have no experience, you need to do first a self-study to be able to picture out what things you should expect once you enter the world of trading. Start from learning basic trading knowledge and that's enough to now finally start the actual trading. Your best source is your favorite web search engine. Almost all trading article stuffs today out there on the web are useful. I know you already know how to determine sh*t infos on the web so I don't think you will have a problem if you read those at random sites.

It will take time before understanding trading stuff so you need to be serious if you really want to push the idea of doing trades. BTC2 is not a joke amount and it can vanish even within a day. Understand the risks of trading and take note that there's no overnight rich profit here.

Goodluck.

A subscription but most of them are fakes and scams. Trust your knowledge instead.

Real professional traders are too busy to have time assisting their all supposed clients so don't believe easily in that kind of offer.

If you are talking about a copy feature, like in E-toro, I don't see any crypto-related platforms today who has that feature. But no need for this. Build experience and you will be fine in the long run.

I would say instead of trading maybe he should start with "investing", that sounds like a better idea than trading right off the bat. Sure, there are ways to start trading checking up on indicators and so forth but that doesn't mean he should jump into it.

For the OP and anyone that wants to ask the same question : my suggestion is to take your time, if you have no time to deal with this and want to get rich quick that means you should run away and leave quickly, it may take YEARS before you see a decent profit, nobody wants to make you rich, you need to basically find people who lost money and be the guy who made money on that which is very difficult.

Learn the indicators, learn the trends, learn the supports and resistances and test out very small and grow from there.

You can use BTC capital smaller than that to test the market or go to an exchange that provides a DEMO account for you to learn first

so how can i start and where can i start? You might be able to see exchange information here (https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/), you can register and have an account there, usually I choose one that has a high trading volume

where to learn the basics? some good books? You can find it on YouTube and you can practice it directly, I rarely see books for trading crypto

how much profit can i expect daily in the beginning? stop to hope, whatever people say out there discussing the advantages of trading in the crypto world is wrong, the first thing you must understand is understanding the second risk about profit

How to avoid major loss? I think to avoid risk is very difficult, maybe to reduce the risk I think there is, I use 3 buy order techniques in trading using mathematics

is there any professional traders that allow to follow their trades and they charge some fees for it? I think a lot, but unfortunately they usually have a closed group so it might be hard to find, but you can follow the trading signals if you want and you can look for it in a telegram, you join there for free

The first step is definitely not to come to Bitcointalk and ask a bunch of strangers how to trade, this is the first step to rekt. But I understand how it could be  for a newbie and we all have different ways of learning, if you want to begin, you have to know that there would be absolutely no way to avoid losses at the beginning but you are going to learn what works and what doesn't work by trial and error, you could start with much smaller funds to learn though.

the first step is NOT starting with 2 BTC!!!
you say you have no experience in trading and you just heard some people hype the profit for you, that is the most common reason for thousands of people who lost money in this market.
people already posted a lot of good suggestions here but none of them matter when you have such a large amount of money at stake in a market you do not understand.
the solution is very simple too, you first have to reduce that capital to something more reasonable like $100 and then follow the suggestions here and learn trading.

You are right! Its not really that necessary to start up $16000+ of start up capital for trading specially you are starting from the beginning.
99% chances that you will surely lose up those funds in a short time since you dont even know on what you are doing.As been said earlier this would
involve lots of mistakes and errors which for you to learn along the way.Learn from it then gradually applying trading techniques or system which
would somewhat workout into your own strategy.

Since this is a forum where people can disscuss anything they want, then it shouldn't be a problem for OP to ask about that. Where is the different between ask on here and searching from youtube or book?

I think 2BTC enough to start trading. To be honest even I were not start trading with such as amount. First thing is you should play with big amount for first time since you are beginner. And don't trade with more than 80% from your portfolio. Remaining fund would be use for emergency situations. And learning market analysis is important part of trading. You should know real time updates which coin you are going to trade. Otherwise you can't make profits just based on ideas. Remember you have to take action with patience and you have to avoid your greedy behaviour. As so as you gain experience then you could get profits from trading. Remember, everyone there for profits, but it's really very complicated.

wow you got a lot of concerns huh  but let me try to answer some of your concerns   . first you said your a noob and a noob means no experience but why you start with 2 btc  ? 2 btc is already a huge amount for just a starter  but that i a good capital once you are already have an experience  . you can just try demo trading to practice and save the 2btc for a while  . second , you can learn here on the forum for tips and tricks or you can watch trading vid on yt  . you cant expect a good profit at the start but itll only come ones your getting the grasp of doing good trades  .

I'm not an expert to trade but I just know it and had several times to gain a profit from it.

Basically, trading is not like a gambling that you can buy/sell (buy/bet) bitcoin whenever you want and just play it, more than that you need a startegy to start it. Sans it you've included that trading is purely like gambling.

I see all your question only lead to a knowledge how to trade, I just wanna know first, have you know trading? I mean its strategy, its analyst and also your emotional when you trade?  Because when you an intention to start it you need to overcome for at least the basic of those.

Learn more first what strategy that shoulf you choose, what analsyt that should you choose and how to control your emotional before you start to trade. Find them by yourself and then I'll believe you will ask your own question that you've mentioned.

for a beginner, you can try joining the telegram trading signal channel,
if you want to trade on your own, you can try learning to trade with a Demo account before using real money,
I don't have a good book recommendation, but on YouTube there are a lot of them and I study there,
after you learn on youtube and can already trade smoothly using a DEMO account, then you can do real trading.

First start gaining knowledge on how to trade, do a research or watch videos on youtube. There are many tutorials in youtube where you can learn the basics about trading and the usual mistakes of a beginner.

Then find a reputable exchange, its important because this is where you will entrust your funds so choose wisely.

Have plan and strategy and it would be better if you dont spend all your capital start with small amount. Then if you're already aware of what to expect you can choose whether to become a day trader or not.

The first step you need to take is to get to know bitcoin more deeply, and learn well the properties of bitcoin and its risks.
and if you want to trade with bitcoin, you must also have knowledge about trading and must learn to control yourself and discipline when trading and don't be shy to ask experienced people and besides find the best source of information anywhere before you do it and Choose the best time and right price to make a purchase.
and to get started you can learn by watching tutorials on YouTube and guidebooks and ways to trade, and there are many other ways to start and learn about trading depending on your efforts and hard work.

I got started trading by watching a few videos on technical analysis on Youtube. Learn things like Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD, ETC., I'm almost certain that after just a few minutes, you will have enough known to at least get you started. Don't pay for any courses or anything on trading. The information is all out there already and completely free on everyone's favorite video platforms.

2 BTC? no, please. Don't do this if you don't want to be stressed or depressed for a long time. because new traders often have account fires up to 95%. We need to use small capital to practice our trading skills and risk management skills. You even have to do it continuously for a few years and keep a journal to gain experience for yourself. Don't use capital that is too large at first, you will regret it.

If you don’t know anything about trading, I suggest you just HODL for now and learn more about trading. Or at least start out very slowly because it’s easy to lose a bunch of money when you panic buy or panic sell because of a bad decision.

As you do not have any kind of experience when it comes to trading I can say to you that it is a bad idea to try to become a day trader and to use such a high capital, try to make longer trades and at most only use 10% of your capital, your first weeks and months as a trader should be dedicated to learn as much as you can, so at the beginning you should not expect to get any profits, if anything if you can break even you should consider yourself lucky.

This may seem weird after all our goal when it comes to the market is to make money but before you learn how to make money in the markets you need to learn how to not lose it and that can only be done by exercising money management.

Trading with 2bitcoin is huge sum of money and that can earn you good profit if you are smart in trading but since you are new in crypto Currency trading I will advise you to spend more in learning trading with a small amount of money till when you can consistently make good profit from your trading at the end of the day before you put huge sum of money.

Same situation that do happen to me when im starting up on trading.It might not be similar of  2 btc but that was a 1month salary of my day job being used since
i got hyped too much on how to make money out of trading without even knowing the accompanied risk behind.Until i lost up those funds on a short period of time
then thats the time realization happens.You wont learn if you wont experience but it isnt really necessary to experience before you learn yet you can avoid it
as early as you can.As suggested by most people it isnt really ideal to start up with that big amount hence we can start to learn even on few minimal amounts.

If you are unfamiliar with trading, do not think about investing previously. Do not think profit as running water from the faucet. To make profit, you should gather information thoroughly, and once you have gotten that information, you should gain experience by experimenting with small amounts of money. Once you are ready, you can invest as much as you want.

to avoid a big loss, you need to allocate your capital appropriately and try trading your first $ 100 in 3 months. Test out all types of transactions and pick out the models that you feel best and understand them the most.
Those factors will help you increase your odds of predicting a trend or reversing, leading to greater profits.

Yes, there are traders who will charge you for help and basics of trading. But "professional"? I dont think so.
There are no professional traders, they are just more experienced. There is no certificate for being a lucky trader.  ;D
Start low, try to feel the rhythm of movements and prices.
Try it first with just one pair. Pick one. Try BTC/USDT pair, that way you will just be looking at the movement of BTC because USDT wont move at all.
If a mistake is done then learn from it.

I say that is a lot of money to wager in trading.
Start low maybe?

It will be a mess if you will do it in an instant besides, you still have not much idea of what is going on.
Youtube might help but those are just the basics.
Try reading more in this forum in the same discussion then you could see some good story and experiences.
It will help a lot.

You are too aggressive despite you are just a beginner in trading, I suggest you reduce the amount you risk as most likely you will make more bad decision at your early stage. The fact that you are asking basic questions, I can only think that your 2 btc is at high risk if you are not considering on reducing your starting amount in trading.

There is really no difference between starting with 2 bitcoins or 0.1 or 10 bitcoins or even 100 bitcoins.

The first order of business is to decide what you really want from trading. If you want to make a billion dollars, get your 2 btc and leave now, right now, run away. If you are smart and know that you just want to beat the market and that is the biggest challenge and may not even happen, that means you should at least try to beat the market but may fail so don't worry.

Secondly your most important weapon in trading is the news cycles going around and what people react to it, if you see a lot of reaction towards a coin doing something negative that means there are whales going around doing something that the community doesn't but the community is weak to stop it, stay away from those coins.

yeah learning from experience, bringing 2 BTC is very big for beginners, especially not understanding about basic trading is very risky. even I who have long played trading sometimes still often lose by bringing 1 BTC. better try with a demo account, how the results he can get. if you want to learn, at least you look for close friends who can be trusted, because if not, there will be many people who use you.

am agree with your sight,,for beginner start trading with 2 bitcoin was too risky. We should not careless with this amount,for some people its sama with their trading result for long time. Its very unfortunate if we gambling this much of money info something that we dont understand at all on its inside . if we have this money someday,maybe starting with huge amount could be avoided of we will loss and feel regret later.

I don't think it will be a good idea if you're starting directly to trade with this High amount of money while you're not into this field before. You should just lower this amount alot and just start with q few bucks to at least get some knowledge how to maket moves. but before even trying you should read some articles about trading and the methods of it. I'd recommend you to take a look at some topics related to this field aswell as starting with a low amount of btc instead of 2 bitcois. Hope you'll gonna do well.

First thing you need to do is learn the basic principles of trading since you are newbie in trading industry but you want to start with a high amount of capital its better to start with a small one then familiarize your self on how to open order, take profit and put a stop lose then after learning the basic proceed to advance on how to read candle, chart and how to use indicators.

First thing first, learn everything you need to know about the basic of trading. You could find them on google, in the forum, books or watch some videos, or if you have a friend that could give you guidance, it'd be better. And with 2 Bitcoin is quite the sum of fund you have there. Just, always remember, there's always risk no matter what strategy you choose. I can say that 2 bitcoin isn't something you're willing to lose just like that if you ever lose it in the process. So, use a little funds first. You need to  get the gist of trading first. And about which one between daily or long, you'll find the answers in the forum, we have a bunch of them threads all over here.

Look and try to understand the basics of trading first. Set your plan, invest what you can afford to lose, and lastly discipline yourself. In addition, 2 BTC were too way big for a fund, diversify it, or just cut some little piece of it.
The internet is enough for you. You can gather alot of infos here in forum, youtube, and google.
Depending how you do the trading. Sometimes you won't get any in return.
Imbibe knowledge, and discipline as well.
You can see alot here in forum mate. Explore it.

The capital you have is good and better for you to be careful when you buy a coin because 2 bitcoin is very high amount of money. You can start day trading if you want but you need to know the basic learning of trading to not do any mistakes to avoid losing money on day trading. You need to consider a lot when you enter in trading best of luck to your journey do your best to grow your bitcoin.

Almost advise had been given, also important that we can share is never start to invest without knowing anything in crypto. Also know the risks in crypto, gain knowledge first as we know the market is unstable. Indeed the capital is big amount and the best to do once already know how to trade is start with small funds and if ready diversify the investment into good coins.

I'm sorry for discouraging you but you are like playing with fire in starting cryptocurrency trading. Having said this, I advise you not to proceed with it starting with 2 BTC. You need to know more about the starting knowledge, the most fundamental of terms, and the most basic moves in cryptocurrency trading. Save your 2 BTC later on when you are already good in it. Start with the basics first.

Trading is not so easy as people make you think man, and you really need to be very full of knowledge about it and I must tell you that the best way to get some education, I mean basic education is going to be for you to go on YouTube, all the resources that you have are already there and many people would train you like you are in the class, it is just that you have to really research on the ones that is going to simplify the tutorial for you because not everyone you see have a tutorial on the age knows how to teach, some of them are just trying their best just to make you tube money while some of the do put passion to it.

Aside YouTube, there are some books called crypto trading for dummies on the net which you can get from Google, and finally, you still need to look for a live mentor around you which you can get from your area.

I agree! People need to do their own research first and try applying it on the market. But of course, it won't be that easy as you think so you might wanna practice it first on a virtual machine that simulates the market movement and then try applying it on the real exchange. But first you have to choose what strategy you have to use in order for you to gain the desired profit.

starting trading ; how? if you have skill before; in this market by looking to the situation of altcoins ; i think you know that bitcoin is the only legit investement . i advice you to hold your bitcoin for long term and not for short term ; and for sure you can get lot of profit in the future
if you are new in electronic money ; you must aware from lot of sites exchange bitcoin when you want buy bitcoin with usd.in thhis case i advice you to use binance.com

First of all you have to realize that you're already trading because you have a market position. You bought 2 BTC which mean you have a long! This is very important for you because you already are invested whether you like it or not.

The second important thing is realizing that you have a long in a bear market. Bitcoin has lost 10% in the last month so you're down 10% already before you even start trading. Do you really want to exit your long now when we might be at the bottom of this correction? Trading is difficult and newbies get rekt.

exactly what i wanted to say. you are already into trading bitcoin, you should've started planning the moment you bought those 2 BTC. but, it's never late to start. better start small, don't risk all of those 2BTC.

You mentioned that you are Newbie in trading. So my suggestion is don't invest all your btc in trading. You can hold 1btc for future.use 1btc for trading. This technique will be helpful for you. To learn trading you can read this section. Also try to watch video about trading.try to trade only top rated coin to avoid huge loss.Also don’t invest all of your btc in one altcoin.                 

I think it is good to trade 33% of your asset. For example, trade onlu 0.66BTC, why? If you lose then you have another chance to make money. But if your trade you two btc and it lose, probably you don't have chance to have profits. You can put what you want if you are pro trader and you have an excess amount of money or the money will you invest is not important to you.

You are right, it is important that at the beginning of your journey as a trader you do not use all your capital, newbies do not really like this advice because they cannot wait to make money in the markets but it is the right advice, newbies have a tendency to make all kind of mistakes at the beginning of their career and some of them can be quite costly.

And the only way to avoid the consequences of those mistakes is to not use all your capital at the beginning, and I know this is true first hand since I also made several mistakes when I became a trader and the only thing that saved me from a catastrophe was that I used only a portion of my capital.

Hey! I would start off by making very small trades at first - particularly if you're going to day trade. Also consider looking into buying from a marketplace like Vertex, you can get good deals from other trader's offerings and fees are kept low because you're buying Peer-to-Peer. Do a lot of your own research and make sure that day trading is the strategy for you - otherwise start off with HODLing in the beginning. As far as profit goes, that's really up to you. Don't make any risky trades and you should be okay, and ALWAYS use a reputable platform - don't get scammed.

how things are looking is better to not trade at all, now all exchanges require KYC AML, even dexes are asking for full KYC.

My best advice is to hold to your coins and not trade them or you risk to lose them

You should have to think about the risk first and study carefully the current market trends, and lastly, please don't fall into a group of people who are offering huge and easy market returns( doubling your money is just 24 hours) cause they all are scams.

Cause if I have that amount, I only do buying and keep for months or years and just sell if I have already satisfying profit. Never used that for trading if you don't know anything about trading cause it might be a reason that you lose your funds and ended up nothing.

Being part here in crypto currency community, risk is already with us as we try our luck here and hoping have a good return in the future. Trading is not as easy as what is think of many it takes time to learn all of it and own my own way to learn is to know the basic techniques. Aside from basic techniques the user must know in actual trading in which for me experience it the best learning and if every have some mistakes take note and charge as experience.

as a beginner maybe you can do simple steps. You can see 2 btc you bought at what price and you can sell today higher than the purchase price or not. if now the selling price is higher than the buy price sell, take your profit and start monitoring the price of the btc until the price drops and buy again. keep repeating the cycle until you really get a profit.
that's a simple step for trading

People keep falling into those scams but I do not really understand why, there are several issues with those kind of services, the first is that if they could get those kind of profits for themselves and double their money every 24 hours then they could become the richest person of the world in a matter of months and we know that has never happened before.

The second issue is where you can find a market that can do that consistently? And even if the market of cryptocurrencies is one of the few markets in which there is always a coin doubling its value in 24 hours, how can someone find such coin when there are so many coins already in the market?

Yeah a simple buy and sell but...,

It wont really be that simple for sure.It may sounds too easy but on first try you wouldnt even know on what to do. Your target is to enter into the bottom price
and which keeps you waiting and this is where technicals would take place. You should know at least to have these analysis rather than on getting into the market
with pure guess which is typically a gamble. I dont suggest to use 2 btc directly when you are a newbie yet most likely you would surely lose those amounts.

Only buying but with a wrong coin is a terrible mistake, we could stuck for a year or more if the coin is dead and will not recover forever, we also should learn the risk management, it's okay to cutloss when we have to and move our trades to a better coins.

Trading the markets is so deceptively easy that many think that they can make a fortune with relatively ease but once you try to trade for real you realize how hard it is, it is very easy to look at the past prices that you can see in the market and say well if I bought at this point and then I sold at this point I'll be rich by now, but you don't have that information when you are trading you can only look at the price of today and not at the price of tomorrow.

That is a very common error when planning your strategy and it is one of the most difficult to eradicate because people do not really choose a systematic way to trade the markets and until they do they will never make any profits.

Write me pm, I can not contact you

that the best suggestions how ever if he really think about the future earnings OP should invest that amount in real world bussiness not to buy any crypto currency.
I mean if you have BTC use the 1 BTC for real world bussiness thats not small amount to start a business start your journey in real world and risk only half of it in crypto.

We have a different strategy how do we earn a profit, buying a large amount of bitcoin with a lower price is more profitable, but it depends on the person how do they handle this huge coin to get a lot of money. In trading, we have different techniques about how do we earn a profit. If the price of the bitcoin fall, it is better to hold for a while to avoid loss of income. But if you want continuously earning money, try to trade your bitcoin into altcoin because, in this kind of market price, altcoins are the best on short term trading si still you can earn money while the bitcoin is low.

I can considered the 2 btc as high capital, the first thing that you should do is you should know how are you going to protect it. You cannot all in your 2 btc in a trading. You should also focus on improving your risk and mangement for you to able to diversify your funds. The next thing that you should focus is how will you multiply it, research a trasing setups that is applicable to your skills.

I don't believe this newcomer, cause nobody sane would suggest day trading to someone who has no experience with crypto. Why would someone risk so much money with something he is not familiar with, it's not even gambling when you don't know anything about games and rules.
Who wishes to start with trading will do that with some small amount, who have so much money that 15k is nothing for him will not come here on forum to ask about it, he will pay for professional advises, or he will pay someone else to do trade for him.

Agree with you, for someone new to this market. 2BTC is a very high capital and if they do not know how to control it best, they will quickly lose money when investing in altcoins in this market. For a newbie, I think 1000 $ is reasonable so they can start and learn from the experience in this market with that capital. They need to learn to lose first if they want to make a profit in the future

Don't day trading you will be exposed to a lot of capital gains taxes and complexity vs just buying and holding for long term investment. also Day trading forces you to store your BTC on exchanges which is very dangerous. However you can make a profit with luck But unless you decide to invest the effort in becoming a professional the best advice is not to play, and use the single advantage that you do have that's long time preference and patience over those that are greedy and impatient. when investing in Bitcoin you should always wait at least 3-5 years before taking a profit of wait till the top of the next bull run.

I suggest try learning trading first because most newbie traders suffers big loss cause they lack the basic understanding in trading crypto. You could try watching crypto traders from youtube to know how the pros think, what strategies they use and copy it, to use as your own and in time develop your own strategy. Believe me, you dont want to start without knowing anything cause in the end you'll end up suffering.

First of all, that is great that you have 2 bitcoins as a capital for trading because not all of the people here in the cryptocurrency space can afford 2 bitcoins or even one bitcoin. Second, that is a huge amount of money that you don't want to lose so I would suggest to take your time and keep it aside and focus on learning and accumulation of information about trading so you can really understand how to play the market with your 2 bitcoins.

For those who still new in the market, please don't do day trading because all of you cannot handle the risks. It is better to become a passive trader at first because the risk is lessen and you do not need to monitor always the price movement in the market. 2 btc is big capital and you can easily lose it if you do not know what are you doing, practice trade can help you to become a profitable trader. Just allocate small amount in every trade in order for you to get used in that situation.

If you are a newcomer to this market and you want to profit from the market, you must first be alert and not too confident in the future of any altcoin. I have been in this market for many years and saw thousands of altcoins dying and making many investors lose. It's best not to make long-term investments in any altcoin, always choosing BTC in your portfolio. Btw you start with 2 BTC, that's the dream number of so many people here

I think with that amount of btc we better to do a mid term investment rather than trading. Buy coins when it downtrend and hold it like 2 or more weeks then sell when got like 5% profits. It's quite easy to do and don't forget to set a stop loss. And remember only invest on top coins in marketcap

Yes, it is always necessary to have the first concept and know the rules in trading if we want to start but perhaps a lot of people like to follow their instincts in all jobs in life, instead of trying to start from zero, they always want to jump in with a difficulty of ten, then as you say, suffer unnecessary losses while this situation can change when we just need to eliminate arrogance, focus on studying the basics. Therefore, do not put too much capital in the first step, we should only go from low to high, this market is a chain of knowledge and takes a long time to understand.

You are right if we want to have profit we will have to learn trading as trading without knowledge is full of lose so better learn trading then we should invest in good and well known site. First of the most important step is to know that what actually trading is. Then you should trade for long term and try to earn more than double from it.

Yeah just like you are applying for a job which you have zero knowledge at all, what do you think will happen? For sure they will not choose you, and that's the life in trading as well, you need to learn everything first before you will finally meet the requirements to earn, there is no magic and lucky in trading, everything needs to learn and understand.

If you have that much capital, better spread that in different coins or token but I will put 50% of that in BTC, 20% in ETH then the rest I will put in my daily trades. Day trading is still the best way to increase what you are holding right now but its not easy as others just say, buy low and sell high. Learn to read the charts and graphs and look for a mentor to to follow and ask for tips. Dont sign up to any of those signal groups.

If you already have 2 bitcoins you may want to stay away from trading for a while, 2 bitcoins is both a lot of money for many people around the world and also a very small number to very quickly lose most of it. You can start with 2 bitcoins and with just one bad investment and losing most of your money you can end up with 0.4 bitcoins out of nowhere or you may just get lucky and turn it into 3 bitcoins as well but all in all you still have 2 bitcoins which isn't bad.

You have to clear what you want to achieve, is it more dollars? Is it more bitcoin? If it is just more dollars I suggest you to keep your bitcoins and hold it for another 12-24 month period, by the time we enter 2022 you will probably have at least double the amount you have in dollars, if it is more bitcoins than it is a very risky thing to achieve but still possible.

trading is not about "profit & lost", trading is management skill, you must manage your emotion, your mind to calculate any action.
before you start with 2BTC, i recomended you to start with 0.2BTC or maybe just 0.02BTC save the last for next step, if you can survive with small amount, you can survive with big amount.

you can use trading analityc for daily trade and control emotion when you must buy and sell, and don't forget to set endpoint from each trade action, like cut lost and cut profit.

newbie should only trade below $ 500 to experience the market.  In this financial market, I have not seen anyone succeed as quickly as they have not yet failed.  because new experience gives you the best trading method after 2-3 years of failure in the market.  This is not a rushed investment, you need to have the right learning and development strategy to minimize the greatest possible risk.  Learn and read the experiences of some experienced traders and learn from them before trading with large amounts.

Having big capital is required to have high financial intelligence and also trading passion. Even if you have high capital, you still cannot invest all of it because it is very risky. Invest in knowledge first before you trade, you are still a beginner trader and you keep asking the basic question. The probability of losing is very high due to your low financial intelligence. You still not understand the whole market and it should be your focus now.

Have money no knowledge is bad to enter market, I think you should learn about basic trading before start. You can learn by read and discuss in this forum, join some trading group and get courses. Second step is use demo account to know the field and market works, don't pass this step because this is really important. Last step is enjoy the journey. I can't recommended any strategy for you because you don't have any knowledge it will be difficult to understand. Never give up to learn, practice to make perfect and good luck to you.

2 bitcoin capital is big for me and for the others but once you make a mistake that amount of bitcoin can be lost or if you did the right choice it will grow.  Every trader have own belief and perception about trading and most of us have different to each other. There is no specific amount that you gain daily because even us who old in trading we do not know what profit we get tomorrow and for me it takes weeks now to earn money not daily but maybe because yoir capital is big you have the opportunity to earn daolu but depends on thw movement of the marker and the coin you purchase.

If I do have the 2 Bitcoins at the moment, I will use it to pay all the debt and the remaining to do a traditional business and some to invest in Bitcoin. I will make sure that this year I won't have anymore debt, so as much as possible, will pay all my debt (Investment in  real estate) so I won't have any more problem at all as well as I already have investment.

I think, correct me if i'm wrong, OP ask us how to trade with his 2 BTC maybe he want to do day trading or maybe long term investment. And OP looks said that he don't have experience in trading, maybe 2 BTC only hold it and not buy altcoin will already good for him.

For someone with no trading experience who is looking to learn from more experienced traders, I would definitely suggest using a copy trader tool like the one that  eToro (https://www.etoro.com) platform offers as it takes a bit of the risk out of learning to trade. It is also always a good idea to do a lot of reading. Doing your own research is a vital part of learning to trade.

There are wrong information in this forum so we should not just base our decision in one source. There are a lot of sources of information all over the internet after all,  if we have big capital; it is better if we will become familiar first in the market for us to know what is happening. We cannot all in our funds if our knowledge is still not enough because the possibility of losing is very high.

Find first exchange that will suit OP interest and that he will be able to understand well, Forum can help him to decide what exchange. But in terms of real trading he should be knowledgeable how to trade. As once he know he will know what alt is good to trade by just looking at the graph and indicators. Try to master or learn trading fundamentals to be able trade properly that 2btc.

If you have zero experience in trading, don't think about it. Save your 2 BTC in a secure wallet while you gain knowledge about trading. That should be your first step. If you decide to deposit that 2 BTC and start trading, believe me you will get rekt soon. Trading is not easy. Most of the time you won't even be able to make profit.

Forget about books. Learn the basic in babypips. Learn technical analysis. Please don't get rushed into trading. Start with a demo account after you learn some things. Don't expect profit daily duh it's not realistic. Trading is just like taking an opportunity. The opportunity won;t always be available daily.

Indeed. Well learning how to trade doesnt need to be rush just take it slowly then step by step you'll understand everything. This forum is useful for those who want to learn because of the ideas, advices and experience from a pro trader. In my experience I started with small amount after gaining knowledge through reading and watching videos about trading, its important you know the basics especially the exhanges to use because many exchanges are not beginners friendly which make it hard to understand the platform.

Big capital requires huge knowledge, information, passion and also effort. There are only two possibilities, you can increase your capital or you can lose it. For those new in the market, do not make huge investment even if you have a lot of money. The preferable investment that a newbie can invest is around $400 and below. If they manage to increase it then it is the time to add up big capital.

To be honest, 2 btc is not a bad amount for the beginning in the field of trading but remember that the profit is not guaranteed especially if you are newbie.
Furthermore, the most essential thing is how to learn the basics of trading in a short time.
How?

Firstly, try to find and read some useful books for example, Cryptocurrency: Beginners Bible and Mastering Bitcoin for Dummies..ect
" Knowledge is potential power "

Secondly, try to analyze the market especially when  unexpected situation occurs.

Finally, try to ignore the tips from the social media and believe in yourself. Unfortunately, there are a full of fake news  , don't follow them but yourself. They are just trying to control traders specifically the beginners in order to achieve their goals.

Good luck for your future endeavors.

I think 2btc is too big for a beginner. There will be a lot of coin that you may bought with that amount of bitcoin, in XRP you will get more or less 38k XRP with the current price right now, the first thing you must do is find a targer coin that you want to put your investment, and then buy it in good exchanges like binance, yobit, kucoin etc. Then secure your account and wait for it to pump.

The first step is certainly not to come to Bitcointalk and ask how to trade a bunch of strangers, this is the first step to rekt. However I understand how it could be for a newbie, and we all have different ways of learning, if you want to start, you have to realise that at the beginning there would be almost no way to avoid losses, but you're going to learn what works and what doesn't work by trial and error, though you could start with much smaller funds to learn.

Honestly there is no safe in trading. But you can reduce the risk if you have enough knowledge so I can advice that you need to study first all the flow about trading and much better if there's someone who are knowledgable in trading will guide you while performing trading to reduce the risk of loss.

Those new in the market specially those who have capital should focus first the security of their funds. They should choose an exchange that is reputable in order to secure their capital. After that, newbies cannot all in their funds because of the high chances of losing due to their inexperienced. Practice trade can help them to earn experience. They should allocate small amount of money in every trade first before they put big amount of money.

Well said, trading is not as easy as it is, learning all the basics and keep enhancing will definitely gives you the edge to earned from this venue of investment. Start watching videos and reads experienced that being shared by traders who already have an established knowledge regarding to this place. Don't hesitate to try using small amount of money then keep chasing those knowledge and adjust each time you see an open opportunities.

2 BTC is a large enough capital for trading. But unfortunately this is not easy to do, especially for beginners who are just entering the crypto trade, because in it there is a great risk of defeat. apparently I was lucky, had a friend who is good at crypto trading, and I learned a lot from him about this (maybe you can do it there). actually the basic trading is simple, namely "buy low and sell high", but all of that requires knowledge and various analyzes of altcoin that we will trade.

I assume that 2 BTCs are appropriate to start trading. To be honest, thats a similar amount I started trading. First thing is that for the first time since you're a novice, you can play with a big amount. And don't trade in your portfolio with more than 80 percent. Remaining funds would be used in cases of emergency. So business research information is an important part of trading. You will know what coin you're going to trade in real time alerts. Otherwise you can't make profits just based on ideas.
