Crypto Trading

Bitcoin, Ethereum and how 24/7 crypto markets differ from traditional ones.

4 lessons 12 min
Lesson 01

A 24/7 market

Crypto trades around the clock, including weekends. Liquidity can thin out at quiet hours, which can lead to sudden moves and wider spreads.

Lesson 02

Bitcoin and Ethereum

Bitcoin is the largest crypto asset and often leads the wider market. Ethereum powers a large ecosystem of applications and tends to move with Bitcoin, sometimes with more volatility.

Lesson 03

Volatility

Daily ranges in crypto can be many times larger than in Forex. Smaller position sizes and clear stop losses are essential.

Lesson 04

Exchanges and custody

Where you trade matters. Research an exchange's regulation, fees and security, and understand the difference between holding assets yourself and leaving them on an exchange.

Key takeaways

  • Crypto never closes — plan around thin hours.
  • Bitcoin usually leads the market.
  • Bigger ranges demand smaller sizes.
