#TradingPairs101 A trading pair is a combination of two assets between which an exchange rate is established. For example, BTC/USDT shows how many bitcoins can be bought for Tether. To avoid confusion, it’s important to understand which asset is the base and which is the quoted. Errors in calculations can be costly, especially with low liquidity in the pair. Keep an eye on the spread – the difference between the buying and selling price. The wider it is, the greater the potential losses. Consider volatility and trading volume, as rare pairs can move sharply with a large transaction. Use limit orders to avoid unwanted price spikes. Control, calculation, and attentiveness are the keys to successful trading.
