🟢 Lesson 1: Trading Fundamentals (Part 3)

🔹 Order Types: Market, Limit & Stop-Limit

Understanding order types is key to managing your trades correctly. Each type helps you enter or exit the market based on your strategy.

🔸 1. Market Order

This order buys or sells immediately at the best available price.

🟢 Example: You want to buy BTC now at any price → You choose Market Order.

✅ Fast execution
❌ Less control over price (you get what the market offers)

🔸 2. Limit Order

This order lets you set the exact price at which you want to buy or sell. The trade only executes if the market reaches your chosen price.

🟢 Example: BTC is at $60,000. You want to buy at $59,000 → You place a Buy Limit Order at $59,000.

✅ More control
❌ It might not get filled if price doesn’t reach your level

🔸 3. Stop-Limit Order

This is used to protect yourself (stop-loss) or enter trades when price breaks a level.

🟢 Example: BTC is at $60,000. If it drops to $58,000, you want to sell to avoid more loss → You place a Stop-Limit Sell Order at $58,000.

✅ Great for risk management
✅ Helps automate entries/exits

📌 In Part 4, we’ll look at the most common trading styles (Day Trading, Scalping, Swing...) and how to choose what fits you.

🟢 Lesson 1: Trading Fundamentals (Part 4)

🔹 Trading Styles – Find What Fits You

Every trader has a different personality and schedule. That’s why there’s no “one-size-fits-all” strategy. You need to choose a trading style that suits your time, mindset, and goals.

Here are the 4 most common trading styles:

🔸 1. Scalping

Very short-term trading (seconds to minutes)

Many small trades per day

Requires full attention and fast decisions
⚠️ High stress, but fast results

🔸 2. Day Trading

Open and close trades within the same day

Fewer trades than scalping

Relies heavily on intraday analysis
✅ Good for those with a few hours a day to trade

🔸 3. Swing Trading

Hold trades for days or weeks

Based on medium-term trends

Less screen time required
✅ Ideal for part-time traders

🔸 4. Position Trading (Long-Term)

Hold positions for weeks, months, or even years

Based on fundamental analysis and macro trends
✅ Lower stress, good for patient traders

📌 Tip: If you're new, start with swing trading. It offers a good balance between time, learning, and risk.

In Part 5, we’ll wrap up this lesson with tips on how to get started, avoid beginner mistakes, and build a simple first trading plan.

🔹 How to Start Trading – Step by Step

Now that you understand what trading is, the market types, order types, and trading styles — it’s time to take action. But don’t rush in blindly. Start with a simple, structured plan.

✅ Step 1: Choose Your Market

Start with the spot market. It’s safer and easier for beginners than futures.

✅ Step 2: Pick One Coin to Focus On

Don’t try to trade everything. Start by observing 1 or 2 major coins like BTC or ETH.

✅ Step 3: Create a Simple Trading Plan

Example:

Trade with a small amount ($10–$20)

Risk no more than 1–2% per trade

Use limit orders

Set a stop-loss and take-profit

✅ Step 4: Track Your Trades

Keep a simple trading journal:

Why did you enter?

Entry and exit price

Result (profit/loss)

What did you learn?

✅ Step 5: Keep Learning

Markets evolve. So should you. Stay disciplined, stay updated — and never risk money you can’t afford to lose.

🟢 Lesson 1: Trading Fundamentals (Part 1)

🔹 What is Trading & How Is It Different from Investing?

Trading is the act of buying and selling financial assets—like cryptocurrencies—to make a profit from price changes in short timeframes. In contrast, investing means buying an asset and holding it for a long period, believing it will grow in value over time.

A trader focuses on short-term price movement, while an investor focuses on long-term value. For example:

A trader might buy Bitcoin at $58,000 and sell it at $60,000 in one day.

An investor might buy Bitcoin and hold it for years, regardless of daily price changes.

🧠 Key difference: Traders care about timing the market. Investors care about time in the market.

There are different types of traders:

Day traders: open and close trades in the same day.

Swing traders: hold trades for days or weeks.

Scalpers: make many fast trades for small profits.

Both trading and investing can be profitable, but trading requires more time, focus, and discipline.

✅ Before you trade, make sure you:

Understand how the market works.

Have a clear strategy.

Can manage your emotions.

📌 In Part 2, we’ll explore the basic concepts you must know before placing your first trade: Spot vs. Futures, and market order types.
