#TradingPairs101 Choose Your Weapon Wisely
Trading pairs are the foundation of every crypto trade — but are you picking the right ones?
🪙 What’s a trading pair?
It’s the combo you trade — like BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC. The first is what you’re buying/selling, the second is what you’re pricing it in.
🎯 How I pick the right pair:
• High liquidity = smoother execution
• Low spread = better pricing
• Strong volatility = more opportunity
• Aligns with my base currency and strategy (e.g. USDT for scalping, BTC for stacking sats)
📊 Tip: Stick to major pairs when volume’s low. Alt/alt pairs can trap you with slippage!
