How I Choose the Right Trading Pair — Trading Pair 101
Picking the right trading pair is super important — even the best strategy can flop if you pick the wrong one. Here’s how I think about it:
Step 1: Know your goal
If I’m betting Bitcoin will hit $150K, I trade BTC/USDT since it tracks BTC’s price in dollars. That way, my profits are easy to understand.
If I want Ethereum to outperform Bitcoin, I use ETH/BTC, but you gotta remember — even if ETH doubles, you could lose if BTC triples.
Step 2: Start with stablecoin pairs
For anyone new, I recommend sticking to pairs like BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT. It’s way easier to track profits when they’re in stablecoins.
Step 3: Check volume
I always make sure the pair has at least $1M daily volume — low liquidity means it’s harder to get in and out smoothly.
That’s my simple framework!
