TradingPairs101: The Basics You Need to Know 💡

Ever wondered how you actually trade crypto or forex? It all starts with trading pairs — and understanding them is step one to becoming a smarter trader.

A trading pair is a comparison of two different assets. You’re not just buying Bitcoin — you’re trading BTC/USDT, or maybe ETH/BTC. The first asset is what you're buying/selling; the second is what you're using to measure its value.

🔁 Common examples:

BTC/USDT → Buy/sell Bitcoin using Tether (a stablecoin)

ETH/BTC → Trade Ethereum relative to Bitcoin

USD/EUR → In forex, trade the U.S. dollar against the euro

📊 Why it matters: ✅ You need the right quote currency ✅ You can spot arbitrage opportunities ✅ It impacts your profits and strategy

Whether you’re in crypto, forex, or just curious — understanding pairs is foundational.
