#TradingPairs101 Choosing the right trading pair is half the battle. Personally, I always pay attention to what I’m dealing with: a stablecoin or a volatile crypto asset. It affects not only my strategy but also my trading mindset.

🔄 I usually break down pairs into:

• USDT pairs – when I want stability and clear profit/loss tracking.

• Crypto-to-crypto pairs (like ETH/BTC) – for mid-term plays on price differences between assets, but that requires experience and strong risk management.

💡How do I choose a pair?

1. I check liquidity – no point trading something with low volume.

2. I evaluate volatility – highly volatile pairs aren’t always ideal.

3. I think ahead: what’s the goal – to preserve capital or take a calculated risk?

📌 A quick example from my experience: I once chose BTC/USDT instead of BTC/ETH, and that allowed me to lock in profits in dollars instead of also having to worry about ETH price swings.

Your trading pair choice isn’t a small detail. It’s the foundation.
