Having been doing the crypto investing and trading for 2 months now. i am well into it.
i never ever really got into stock trading much, other then long term
or day trading stocks

what is the difference between crypto trading and day trading in stocks? would one be following a similar format?
what are the similarities and differences?


look forward to all your kind replies

Crypto trading, stock trading and foreign exchange trading share a lot of similarities with some few differences and you can make money trading on either of the markets if only you understand the technicalities involved. However, I have observed that crypto trading can be more lucrative and rewarding than the other two, perhaps due to higher volatility and less technicality involved in the crypto exchange market. There are other comparisons but I leave it for other professional traders to point out.

Crypto trading is risky but more profitable than stock trading or forex trading. I think for long term investment stock trading and forex trading are better.

The crypto trading is easier than stock trading in my opinion because stock trading needs lots of knowledge and it is not manageable for normal people only experts can make money from stocks.But in crypto less knowledge is enough to start trading and everyone can do this even with small amount of capital investment like $100.But both are riskier investment because there is no assurance that we can get profits from it.But I think crypto is vest and profitable when compared to stocks.

there are of course similarities such as the trends they follow, also technical analysis is the same nearly useless tool in both of them but it still is a good guide to have in your back pocket.

but the main difference between the two markets is the manipulation. every market will go through it but in trading cryptocurrencies, specifically altcoins, the level of manipulation is unbelievably high. you see movements that are not explainable by any logic. you see lots of pumps and dumps all around the altcoin market.
and this makes trading altcoins that much harder but also more profitable.

I've tried stock trading few years ago and that's the way I found crypto - looking for trading information. Then I found crypto trading and never looked back.
I feel myself limited on stock trading market and every new site wants KYC and so on, competing with big sharks on daily basis.
On the other hand, crypto trading is unregulated and offering much more possibilities with much less paper.

another difference is that crypto markets are global and they work 24/7 and there aren't anything specific to one country that can really affect them although they sometimes do. but in comparison the stocks market is mostly local to one country and it is greatly affected by the economics of that country. for example where i live the stocks market have been performing terribly in the past 2 weeks where everything was in red showing the end of a big bull run so far. but it was a good period  before it where things were rising and were profitable.

The different between crypto trading and stock trading is crypto market has more volatility and higher fluctuasion than stock. So crypto trading will be more risk and more return than stock trading. But in my opinion crypto trading is more easy though has more risk because mostly all coin going up in the short and longterm.

Yes I agree stock trading is not transparent. Movements are not clear and somewhat misleading. But crypto is decentralized and transparent.

Crypto trading is much easier than stock, Because in crypto you don't need to be a pro trader or knowledgeable enough in analyzing the market or using any kind of tools on trading, just buy what the coin are rumors to be pumped and sell it when you get profit.

being easy is so subjective. the two places are very different from each other. you do actually need to be a "pro" in both markets if you want to be successful, if you make random bets and succeed in a couple of altcoins that doesn't make you a professional trader because sooner or later your luck will run out and you will lose all you have earned and more.

and in fact when you say "buy the coin that is rumored to rise" that is an experience. you need to know this, and you need to be able to figure out which rumor is true and which is fake. or what leads to a pump.

I have studied for a while both stock and forex trading and I must admit that they are more complex and honestly there are some aspects I just failed to understand completely. Here in cryptocurrency trading things are simpler though the volatility rate is really high but this can be what traders are looking for. Yes, there is more money that can be made here in crypto trading especially if one will apply the discipline and that yearn for knowledge in the forex/stock trading. There are now many trading sites offering both forex and crypto and many traders are doing both for more profit potential.

Hi

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/#markets

it says that HSR/ETH for ETH is 802USD at binance.
But all i can calculate at binance, it is about 720USD.

How the 802USD is calculated, can some1 explain it to me?

Mate, first and foremost, instead of creating new threads, just boot up the search bar on the top right corner of the screen, you'll find similar threads. Creating new threads only leads to shit spamming. But it's okay, you're new here, you'll get to know.
Stock trading is different you have to open an account with the regulatory exchange of the country so that you have the right to trade stocks. Crypto on the other hand is like you just open up an account and wham bham boom, you can start trading. But there are crypto exchanges which ask for KYC documents and stuff. Here's what should really be important in the comparison :- Crypto trading is any day better than stock trading, you have a better chance to become a millionaire being a crypto trader than that of the stock market trader.

Stock trading is not easy to do unlike crypto trading besides theres a lot of regulations in stock trading and an ordinary people can't just go over it also stock trading requires good capital and you must be good in choosing the best stock that will earn while in crypto trading you can start at a capital you can afford and it is very convenient to do without so much requirement and legality issues.

There is a whole lot of difference between both worlds. Most of which is due to the centralized nature of stocks and decentralized nature of cryptos. Here are a few differences between the both:
1. The first and foremost difference I see is the buyer freeze and seller freeze. In case of stock market we see if any stock gains huge momentum or loss exchange puts a freeze over the stock so it doesn't moons in a day but same isn't there for cryptos.
2. Stocks are traded more due to the underlying company performance if we see in long term while cryptos are not the same people only invest in cryptos when they hear a very big news floating about it.
3. Stocks more or less provide a constant return while crypto can provide infinite returns to you.
4. Arbitrage is quite less possible in stock market while its quite easy to play it in cryptos.

In stock market, there are only 2 times for opening the market and you have to follow the rule T+2 or T+3. But in the crypto market, you can sell and buy whenever you want. that is a good choice for investors.

Only around 5% of home Forex traders turn a profit,most quit because it takes years of trading to successfully read charts.Maybe Crypto trading is different,I am yet to be convinced.

cryptocurrency trading is a young and new form of trading, it will need to develope
more in the futre but it can bring profit much faster than stock trading, a man know how to trade in stock can earn a lot of profit from cryptos trading, moreover, cryptos in still not under control of government so no taxes charged on cryptos.

Crypto Trading means trading different bitcoins and altcoins, it is also buy and sell bitcoins using different fiat currencies or altcoins. Stock Trading is buy and sell shares of stock, bonds, and other securities. For my understanding it is more easier to do Crypto Trading than Stock Trading because in Crypto Trading you just need a small knowledge in Crypto Trading than in Stock Trading you need an understanding on how to do Stock Trading  and in Crypto Trading everyone can do it and it can afford by many and in Stock Trading you have to invest in an specific amount or value.

Even me trading stocks and crypto's both swing and day trading for quite a few years. Now coming to the similarities both crypto and the stock market has an amount of demand, participation, volatility, momentum and the Chart patterns because the technical analysis works the same way in all the trading market. There is only few difference in the time period where the stock market is operated only on five days that too for a given period of time whereas the crypto market is traded 24hours a day for weekdays. And similarly, for day trading stocks particular index is available to gauge the sentiment where there is no Trading Index for cryptomarket.

Stock trading:
-limited volume
-limited volatility
-open 930-400 est
-closed on weekends
-trading halts, sec interventions
-unlimited shares that can be dumped
-regulations
-sudden jagged movements on news that are instantly locked down by banks and professional traders and there is no trending or room for daytrading.
-everything on one centralized exchange and no room for arbing or leading your trades based on a different exchange
-delayed and/or expensive market data
-nontransparency and deceit by companies.

There is no comparison.

Trading in bitcoins,similar to how trades on the stock market are conducted by any other investment asset,requires some knowledge.

I think for now the profits that are mostly given are in the crypto be it trading or any investment. its difference may be investment in stocks more secure because or the institution or government that supervise.sedangkan in crypto no one oversee. apart from that I think invest in crypto for now this is a good choice because it can give a high return in time say 1 year. so I think it's safe as long as you know what you're doing.

cryptocurrency is faster growing market and you may make crazy money here

Crypto currencies is decentralized, so the up and down really only based on the supply and demand, so the price got no limitation and the volatility is very high, stock trading got somebody to control the price, so the price can't go crazy like in crypto, basically both of them are the same, you need to analyze, pay attention to the chart and everything, but the factor to determine the price is different

This is the great advantage of cryptomarket, well I do invest on stock market but my goal their is for long term because I know the price movements in stock market takes time so I focus more on cryptocurreny but for me both market will surely makes money for me in the future. Diversify your portfolio for a better result and to enjoy a lot of resources.

Trading with altcoins is much more profitable than just stock trading, but yes, you need to take care of everything because if you have a bad day, you can easily lose a lot of money.

But forex is only going to be profitable if you analyze EVERYTHING.

Otherwise, you are going to lose everything in there, and you need to take care of all the news of every week if you are investing a lot of money in forex, or stocks, or whatever you do.

I try both and clearly the crypto is much better, even if the stock market are nice too but it is much more "reasonable"

Crypto trading is more volatility than stock so will be promising higher profit but also more risk than stock trading. In my personality i prefer crypto trading because mostly 90% of crypto is increasing from ICO price.In crypto we can make profit 10 times from initial investment just in a few month but this is not possible in stock market.

They can compete in volatility, do you know how many black days in history stock markets have? I can`t speak about stock trading, I didn`t try it, did you? And how can we try it? I think all that bothering about becoming
stock market trader doesn`t worth a penny now, when we can sit in front of our computers and trade with cryptos, its all about numbers just different names, and you dont need to bother around at all. Look at the comments here most of us are home school, just effort and learning here about everything.

I also like crypto trading because we can easily predict the price movement, it's more based on news and it's still young so
the price is more volatile. With the price volatility we will be able to have a chance to trade regularly and if we are good in trading we can maximize our income.

Personally I have often lost money with stock trading while I am making money with crypto trading. Somehow I can predict better prices in cryptos.

I think the crypto markets have 'true' price discovery. I also think this may dissipate with time as so many hedge funds and banks are getting into the space. 

The crypto markets are much more volatile than the conventional stock market with huge gains and losses within 24hrs. (Thats why day traders love cryptos)  An example of extreme price movement is when a crypto trades over the Bollinger band >8 days in a row. This is very rare in the conventional markets, but fairly common with the cryptos.

Now the conventional markets: The big banks (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Citi, etc...) run high frequency trading algorithms and have been known to naked short stocks which is illegal. (But who's watching them? The SEC? LOL)  When they do get busted (which is fairly often), they pay a fine of ~20 million dollars... but they made 100 million before they got caught...

I do not really know about Stock Trading, but I've heard many people say that it's too risky. When I explain this to someone else, someone says that I should not do it. Better to find a more definite business only. Too much risk and analysis and research needed. And in my opinion, cryptocurrency is better. Although they are not much different, but cryptocurrency is easier to do. That's because you can buy cryptocurrency freely and sell freely as well. Especially with the presence of Bitcoin and Ethereum, it makes economic growth easier. Not just day traders who love cryptocurrency, long-term traders also like it.

Before jump in to crypto trading i has been in forex and stock trading in about 2 years but in fact i can not make profit consisten from that, and since i move to crypto long term trading i can make some profit with consistent and more easy to do it, just buy some good coin and hold it a few month. So i prefer to doing crypto trading than stcok because more easy to gain profit from it.

Crypto markets are much more volatile, but this can be a good thing if you know how to trade well. It's also much more speculative(right now) compared to well-known stocks. 24/7 trading is also a great advantage to crypto. Because it's still new and the big players haven't entered the market much, there is profit to be made from arbitrage between exchanges & market making large spreads. Also, we're on a strong bull run rn for the whole crypto market so it's not hard to make good profit.

in crypto's trading you can get much profit than stock trading,
in crypto's any coin can growing up until 4000% in a year its amazing

In cryptocoin, you always have the risk, that your exchange is hacked.

Most of the exchanges have slow rest apis.

i think the best advantage of crypto trading is that you can trade 24/24. It helps you can give your decision immediately. you have not to be wait likes stock trading.

Stock trading are complicated and people are taxed with a lot of money there while I'm still free to make trades in crypto without getting taxed.

Crypto trading and stock trading are almost the same. With regards to the volatility of the price or the sudden changes to price, its the same. It has also the same amount of risk involved. The only fifference is that stock market are stocks and are stuck on that market while being traded and cryptocurrency trading can be a medium of excahnge or can be used as a legal tender and can be exchange for either goods or services.

There is no doubt in this thing that crypto market is very fast changing thing and all those who understand this thing deep are now millionaires of the crypto market.

We should really feel this thing that here in this market, decisions should be made quick and we should not waste time neither during dumps nor pumps especially when the coin is bitcoin. We need to stay updated regarding this market all the time.

Crypto trading is more risky than stock trading but I believe that the more risky is higher the gain. What I like in crypto trading is the price is easily go down and up , you can twice you money or even more in one day or more.

Actually, the risks are the same. You can lose all of your money. The difference lies mainly on the volatility. Stocks are solid, they don't go wild like what crypto does.

Crypto trading is manipulated by smaller groups of individuals (the whales) than the stock markets. This produces bigger upswings and downswings which make it possible to win or to lose a lot of money. But this also creates some patterns which are a bit easier to read that the ones in the stock market IMO.

Crypto and stock trading are very similar both also uses stocks signals, charting and other trading materials to predict price movement. the major difference is Stock trading is regulated by national government while Crypto market is not regulated yet. Stock trading is only limited to one's country while crypto trading is traded worldwide.

Crypto trading shares similarities with stock trading. Both requires a great deal of research into the asset you wish to trade. But a major difference is the price fluctuation between the two . While crypto looks quite risky and can result your account turning zero, stocks arent much risky,it can take even a whole year and a stock will be trading along the same price range.

There is a similarity with the basics of trading between the two but in a fundamentally sound aspect crypto trading is a lot better than stocks trading, prices are more volatile in crypto trading than stocks trading, there is an advantage for some countries that do not impose taxation on trading of cryptoccurency while in stocks trading all ( it must be all) of the countries has taxation on that one, it's easier and more convenient to trade stocks trading via exchange websites than local stocks exchange. One thing only gets in my mind that stocks trading is better than crypto trading which is stocks are backed by an assets of the company and you earn passive income through dividends.

The different is fluctuaction and the volume, cryptocurrency market just like baby so the volume still lower compare stock market. And also more high fluctuaction in crypto market so the risk and the return also more high. Some crypto also unregulated but in stock market usually full regulated.

Basically cryptotrading is riskier and pays of better sometimes that stock trading.It can done without the need for a broker by you. Classical candle stick patterns may not be as classic signals like those seen in stock trading but can be used sometimes to execute good trades too. The extreme price volatility is what makes cryptotrading sometimes highly risky

Price volatility is the common differences among the two regarding crypto and stock trading which we can saw that rewards would be entirely different to each other since we do see its more riskier to trade with crypto because of price volatility but yet its more rewarding than on stocks can able to generate up.Its up to you if you would decide to trade on less risk than on higher one but expect on the outcome would be really different.

If you can take a higher risk then the answer is crypto, you can grow your money faster with crypto trading and you can also lose
your money faster, the result will still be depending on your skills, if you have the skills and your know the right technique to be profitable
then maybe it's right to choose the one that can maximize your income faster.
