#TradingPairs101 🚀 Pair Up! Mastering Trading Pairs 101
🔹 What’s a Trading Pair?
A trading pair represents two assets you can swap on an exchange — think BTC/USDT.
🔹 Base vs. Quote
The first asset is the base currency (what you’re buying/selling).
The second is the quote currency (used to price the base).
The displayed price tells you how much of the quote you need for one unit of the base.
🔹 Major Pairs & Cross Pairs
Major pairs: Top coins like BTC/ETH, ETH/USDT — high liquidity and tighter spreads.
Cross pairs: Two cryptos traded directly (e.g. BTC/ETH) without touching fiat.
Fiat pairs: Direct crypto-to-fiat like BTC/USD or ETH/EUR — great for tracking real-world value.
🔹 Liquidity is Key
Higher volume = smoother trades and smaller bid-ask spreads.
🔹 Mind the Fees
Always check the fees on each pair — they can eat into your profits.
🔹 Practice Makes Perfect
Use demo or paper trading accounts to get comfortable before going live.
