HOW TO START CRYPTO TRADING SAFELY AS A BEGINNER

1. Learn first:

Understand how crypto and blockchains work:

▪︎ Learn how blockchains, tokens, and exchanges work.

▪︎ Study the difference between coins (like Bitcoin, Ethereum) and altcoins (like Solana, Avalanche).

▪︎ Understand that crypto markets are extremely volatile compared to stocks or forex.

2. Choose a trusted exchange:

Prioritize security and choose an exchange that has insurance or protection against hacks.

3. Secure your crypto:

Use strong passwords, 2FA, and hardware wallets.

4. Start small:

Trade tiny amounts to practice and avoid big early losses.

5. Create a trading plan:

▪︎ Plan your trades ahead:

▪︎ What coins will you trade?

▪︎ How much will you risk per trade?

▪︎ What are your targets for profit and limits for losses?

▪︎ How often will you trade (daily, weekly, etc.)?

6. Manage risk:

Never invest more than you can afford to lose and use stop-losses.

7. Watch your emotions:

Crypto moves fast — and emotions move faster.

▪︎ Don’t chase pumps (sudden spikes).

▪︎ Don’t panic sell during crashes.

▪︎ Stay patient and stick to your plan.

8. Keep learning:

Crypto never sleeps, and there’s always something new:

▪︎ Follow reputable news sources (like CoinDesk, The Block).

▪︎ Learn about new trends like NFTs, DeFi, and Layer 2 solutions.

▪︎ Join online communities (but avoid hype and scams).

The more you learn, the safer (and smarter) you’ll trade.

Focus on protecting your money first — profits will come later.
