🔁 #TradingPairs101 – Understand Trading Pairs for Smarter Trading

A trading pair consists of a base asset (being bought/sold) and a quote asset (used for valuation). For example, in the BTC/USDT pair, BTC is the base asset, while USDT is the quote asset – you are buying/selling BTC using USDT.

💡 Trade with Stablecoins or Crypto?

I usually prefer trading with stablecoins (USDT, BUSD, etc.) because:

It’s easier to control profits/losses with a stable valuation currency.

Avoid double impact when both assets are volatile (e.g., ETH/BTC). However, in a strong bull market, I also trade crypto-crypto pairs to optimize profits when both assets are increasing in value.

📌 How to choose the right trading pair:

Prioritize pairs with high liquidity and large volumes.

Choose a quote asset that aligns with your strategy (e.g., whether you want to "exit" to stablecoin or hold the base coin).

Evaluate the trends of each asset in the pair – avoid trading when both are declining.

⚠️ A memorable lesson:

I traded ETH/BTC when both were increasing – thought I was making a profit but in reality, ETH was increasing slower than BTC, causing me to lose compared to just holding BTC. After that, I switched to USDT as the quote asset for easier performance tracking.
