#TradingPairs101 How to choose a pair and not mess up?

Do you trade like a god or lose your deposit? Perhaps the issue is not with the strategy, but with the choice of pair.

Basic rules:

✔ Base asset – what you are buying (BTC, ETH, SOL...)

✔ Quoted asset – what you are buying with (USDT, BTC, BUSD...)

Why is this important?

▪ BTC/USDT and BTC/USD – these are different pairs with different liquidity and volatility

▪ Alt/BTC pairs can destroy your portfolio if BTC decides to plummet

▪ USDT pairs are usually more stable, but watch out for stablecoin rebounds

My life hack:

➡ Start with BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT – fewer surprises

➡ If you trade alts – watch the volumes, otherwise you'll crash to zero on the spread
