đš What Are Trading Pairs?
Every trade is a swap between two assets. In BTC/USDT, youâre buying BTC using USDT â or selling BTC to get USDT.
The first coin is what you're trading, the second is what you're pricing it in.

đš Why Trading Pairs Matter More Than You Think
⢠A coin can be up in USDT, but down vs BTC.
⢠If youâre stacking ETH, trading ETH/BTC makes more sense than ETH/USDT.
⢠Wrong pair = wrong strategy. Period.

đš Types of Pairs Youâll See
⢠Stablecoin Pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT) â Ideal for clear PNL and stable exits
⢠Crypto-Crypto Pairs (e.g., SOL/BTC) â For rotating between coins
⢠Fiat Pairs (e.g., BTC/EUR) â Common on global or regional exchanges
---
đš How to Choose the Right Pair
⢠Ask yourself: âWhat asset am I trying to grow?â
⢠Look at volume â thin pairs = bad fills
⢠Use BTC/ETH pairs to accumulate blue chips during altcoin cycles

đš Final Tip
You can time the market perfectly⌠but if you pick the wrong pair, your edge disappears. Master trading pairs to master your capital rotation.
