When you trade one currency against another, you are trading a pair like:

BTC/USDT = You are buying or selling Bitcoin against the digital dollar (USDT).

ETH/BTC = You are buying or selling Ethereum against Bitcoin.

💡 Types of trading pairs:

1. Currency pairs against the dollar (Fiat Pairs):

Like BTC/USDT or ETH/USD – used to measure the value of the currency against the dollar.

2. Crypto-to-Crypto pairs:

Like SOL/ETH or MATIC/BTC – used to exchange currencies without needing to convert them to dollars.

🧠 Tips for understanding trading pairs:

The pair is read from left to right:

BTC/USDT means how much USDT you need to buy 1 BTC.

If you expect the left currency (BTC) to rise, you can buy (LONG).

And if you expect it to fall, you can sell (SHORT).

⚠️ Important notes:

Always understand the other side of the pair (Is it dollars? Or another currency?).

Some pairs are more liquid (like BTC/USDT), which makes trading in them faster and less risky.

Unknown or low liquidity pairs may have high price differences (Slippage).
