What is the difference between crypto trading and traditional stock trading

[poodle63]

In the crypto market, there are a lot of meme coins and shitcoins. I think it's the same with the stocks, the underrated stocks that don't get that much attention to traders.

Holding is also in the stocks.

Like if you're the type of investor that don't want to be active at all, blue chip stocks are you go-to buy. And that's the same with what we have here, Bitcoin.

its pretty similar honestly, the mechanism and all, but there's always something that make both instrument distinguishable, to be honest, if i were to suddenly trade stock then it'd be no problem for me since its simple thing as simple if compared with cryptocurrency but there's just some difference in terms used like lots, and so on.
but i would argue that in term of profit making cryptocurrency showing to be a better option here, there's reason why the market capital is always growing and growing.
therefore why i would prefer to invest in cryptocurrency than stocks.

I'm a newbie in trading. I read books by John Schwager, Alexander Elder, John Bollinger about technical analysis and psychology in trading and I began to doubt that all this was suitable for the modern cryptocurrency market. How is crypto trading similar to stock and Forex trading? What are its similarities and differences?
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their replies, I appreciate it!

In simple terms, both are the same, and knowledge about trading can be used in both trades. Only for crypto, you have to know about market conditions before opening a position because this is quite important and crypto trading is quite full of speculation, while stock trading will be safer because the regulations are certain, it's different in crypto especially if you trade in altcoins which are full of fraud so if you don't first find out more about the coin it will only lead you to losses., and in stock trading you trade stock of companies whose existence is clear while crypto is all only available online which could be a fake.

Yes, they have their own unique features and factors and that's why it's easier to distinguish the differences and similarities of them. Mostly, if you're in both markets.

but i would argue that in term of profit making cryptocurrency showing to be a better option here, there's reason why the market capital is always growing and growing.

Yeah, there's a faster movement in crypto and that's why that capital of yours can grow significantly if you're lucky within a week or two.

But it's a quick phasing that you have to be aware of the risk that you're having as well. I'm into crypto obviously but, maybe in the nearest future, I'll get back to stocks.

It is clear that crypto has high volatility compared to shares, and therefore crypto price movements are faster and can be more profitable compared to shares. 100% profit can be obtained in a day and vice versa. Crypto grows with rapid fluctuations and must be prepared for anything that could happen.

When it comes into their differences then the main thing on which this is the most recognizable at all which is "VOLATILITY" on which this is the main difference on which we could really be able to notice
comparing to stocks from crypto and this is where some traders do really get interested when it comes to profitability just because they could really be able to do it when they do get engaged with
crypto trading. It is really just that there are people who cant really be able to bare up with the risks on what volatility could bring but we know that this is something rewarding
if you do really just know on what you would gonna do into this market.

Also just like been said by other members that 24/7 market for crypto market, there's no such thing about closing and opening market just like on stocks or Forex.
This is why it would really be just that depending into your own preference if we do speak about dealing up on crypto or stocks.
It would really be just that depending into your own preference and interest since not all could be able to bare up the risks.

Can you tell us why exactly you are doubting that the principles described on those books do not apply to the market of cryptocurrencies? I do not remember ever reading a trading book from Schwager, but I have read books from Elder and Bollinger and they are quite good, so in my opinion anyone that were to follow their advice to the letter and grew as a trader with them will do well in any market, so do not give up just yet as you seem to be on the right track.

Because the crypto market is volatile, sometimes things don't go as expected, but Bitcoin traders who have done long-term market analysis understand the reality of this book. I know a trader who trades Bitcoin and his analysis seems successful to me, because he was able to correctly identify the last two bottoms as well. But he was a forex trader before he got into bitcoin trading, he is getting great results by using his forex market experience in the crypto market.

A trader has to do a lot of hard work to be successful, there are no short cuts and those who find short cuts get out of the market quickly. If you can do good technical analysis of the market then you will get good results in any market. So, to be a good trader, you need to acquire enough knowledge about the technical, fundamental and psychological conditions of the market, so that you can stay in the market for a long time.

Many people thoughts that cryptocurrency trading and traditional stock market trading at the same thing it's true that the cripto trading and traditional stock market trading looks like Kindda same but there are also some major difference between them one main difference between them is legality cryptocurrency is not legal in all regions but you will see about stock market trading it's more likely legal all over the world and one more thing is cryptocurrency can be fully decentralize you will not find this on stock market trading.

In Forex trading have closing time if i am not wrong it opens friday to sunday that means 5 days in a week, also it's activity is limited in the weekend. On the other hand crypto trading is open for 24/7, there are no closing time. I have no experienced in the stock trading market but i think many things are similar with crypto trading.

[the rise]

The most common difference is that crypto trading can be done at any time while stock trading has a closing time, this is a striking difference, in terms of almost the same analysis it can be applied to both crypto and stock trading, only crypto has more volatile charts, I personally prefer it. favor crypto trading over stocks

When it comes to trading based on technical analysis all markets are the same whether crypto, stock or forex .Crypto markets are just more volatile but it is always open for trading ,Forex market has more volatilities and closed during weekends while stock markets are very slow and are closed most of the time .You will also have to more funds to trade the stock market but when it comes to their charts all are the same and you can use the same skills and knowledge in trading all of them.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

       -    Literally, the difference is that bitcoin is more closely associated with blockchain technology, but stock trading is clearly associated with the classic trading method. Apart from what I've already stated, there is company ownership in stock trading, and the value of cryptocurrencies is determined by supply and demand, the future, and use cases.

And when it comes to market hours in stock trading, people usually do it during business hours, however in cryptocurrency, you can do it whenever you want, in short, 24/7. In terms of regulation, all stock trading is governed by the government. While the focus of cryptocurrency is mainly on manipulations, occasionally hacking, or regulations, they differ greatly per jurisdiction.

[Volimack]

As far as I understand crypto trading is good, stock trading is difficult because there are many rules to follow. Cryptocurrencies outperform stocks in terms of volatility crypto prices can fluctuate wildly on a daily basis often driven by speculative trading and investor sentiment rather than underlying business performance crypto is easy to analyze. Stocks are generally less volatile and tied to corporate earnings.

Expect the unexpected and this is something that you should really be that get wary of because if you are really that hoping that much or really have that kind of optimistic towards the market
then you could really be able to make yourself that able to experience on whats the real deal that wwe could really have into this market. Stocks or Forex? These has been those traditional markets
on where people do really make those involvement before crypto market did exist on which it would really be just that so normal that people would be skeptical on trying out crypto space.
Cant really be denied that when it comes to risks then crypto is much more higher due to movement but same goes into making money then this is something more better.

Thing here is that you do really know on how to make yourself that able to survive the harshness of this market so that you could really be able to make
yourself that be wary and be able to act accordingly.

The volatility should not really be too much of a problem, as the only thing you need to do to deal with it is to reduce your position size, this way even if the volatility is higher your average win or loss can remain the same across all markets, however this is something that is seldom done by traders, and this is what causes them to be surprised by the volatility of this market and to suffer massive losses, especially if they dare to use leverage as well.

A key difference exists between traditional stock trading and crypto trading. In traditional trading, investors buy and sell ownership shares in publicly listed companies. Gets a share of the company earnings. Crypto, on the other hand, is the exchange of digital assets with different currencies, which is completely decentralized. There are no regulators in cryptocurrencies. But stock trading is heavily regulated by government authorities so that risk management is extremely low. But the risks are much higher, especially in crypto.

Apart from that, there is also a striking difference in spot trading where forex does not have spot trading and crypto has spot trading.

Apart from the problem of market operating times that you mentioned and spot trading, I think the mechanism is the same. When compared to the Forex/stock market with crypto futures trading, it is clearly the same and the only difference is in operating times. Crypto trade runs 24/7 hours - non-stop.

[babygun]

its pretty similar honestly, the mechanism and all, but there's always something that make both instrument distinguishable, to be honest, if i were to suddenly trade stock then it'd be no problem for me since its simple thing as simple if compared with cryptocurrency but there's just some difference in terms used like lots, and so on.
but i would argue that in term of profit making cryptocurrency showing to be a better option here, there's reason why the market capital is always growing and growing.
therefore why i would prefer to invest in cryptocurrency than stocks.

The same applies for memestocks. You can have massive swings and if you buy and sell at the right time, you can make a lot profit. I guess it depends on what kind of investment or trading you want to do. But in general crypto will be a lot more volatile than stocks even the ´better coins’ like BTC or ETH.

[kojektea]

In general, what is known is that the crypto market is open 24 hours but stock trading has holidays,
Lately many people have switched to crypto trading, I don't know exactly what the most users are between crypto trading and stock trading, I will choose crypto trading to trade maybe because it is free at any time I can sell or buy

[Nrcewker]

Traditional stock market or the forex have certain operating time. I mean it closes from certain time of the day to a fix time. Whereas the crypto market and exchanges are available anytime anyday without any problem. This is the major difference I would say. Moreover there are also some taker and maker fees if you buy and sell stocks in the traditional stock markets. These are the major differences that I can recall.
