#TradingTypes101 *What type of trader are you?*
In the crypto world, not everyone trades the same. Each trader has their style, their pace, and their personality. Some live on the edge of the screen, others prefer to leave everything and come back in a year.
Today I present to you the **5 most common types of traders**. Do you recognize yourself in any?
