#TradingPairs101

When I first entered the world of trading, I thought that all currencies were bought only with dollars. I didn't know that there was something called trading pairs, nor did I understand the difference between BTC/USDT and ETH/BTC, for example. After some time of learning and experimenting, I started to understand that choosing the right trading pair has a significant impact on the trade. Sometimes the currency itself is good, but the pair you are trading in may not have enough liquidity or may move strangely.

One of the things I learned is that some pairs are more stable and easier to predict their movement, like the pairs against USDT, because they are linked to the dollar and their price is clear. On the other hand, pairs against currencies like BTC or ETH tend to have more complex movements because you are tracking two currencies at the same time, not just one.
