Crypto trading refers to the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin. Unlike traditional Forex markets, crypto markets are decentralized and operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The crypto market has grown rapidly in recent years, attracting millions of traders and investors worldwide.

How Does Crypto Trading Work?

• You always trade pairs:
  Example: BTC/USDT – you buy Bitcoin and sell Tether (a stablecoin), or vice versa.

• Profiting from price movements:
  You speculate on whether the price of a cryptocurrency will rise or fall.
  → If Bitcoin rises against USDT, you profit from a “Buy” (long position).

• Volatility:
  Cryptocurrencies are much more volatile than traditional currencies. This means greater opportunities – but also greater risks.

• Trading around the clock:
  Unlike Forex (24/5), crypto markets never close. You can trade 24/7.

Why Do So Many People Trade Crypto?

• High potential returns due to strong price swings

• 24/7 trading with global accessibility

• Low entry barrier – anyone can open an account quickly

• Large variety of assets (Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, stablecoins)

Opportunities & Risks

Advantages	Risks
24/7 trading, global access	High volatility (prices can swing rapidly)

Example of a Crypto Trade

1. You expect Bitcoin (BTC) to rise against USDT.

2. You open a Buy position on BTC/USDT.

3. If the price rises, you make a profit.

4. If the price falls, you incur a loss.

What Do You Need to Get Started?

• An account with a broker or crypto exchange

• The MetaTrader trading platform (MT4/MT5) or the exchange’s trading app

• A free demo account or a real account – start risk-free with demo trading, or move to live trading once confident

• A trusted signal provider such as LibertyTrader.ai for professional crypto trading signals

• A basic understanding of the markets, volatility, and risk management

We strongly recommend beginners start with a demo account to learn trading mechanics and test strategies without risking real money.

Important Note

Crypto trading is not gambling – but it carries higher risk than Forex due to volatility and lack of central regulation.
It requires knowledge, discipline, and solid money management.
Always trade only with money you can afford to lose!
