Introduction

Cryptocurrencies are considered as digital gold. Currently, such currency has its value due to the demand and supply, and no federal body regulates under any law. All these currencies are decentralized, which makes it cheaper, transferable, secure, and confidential. Cryptocurrency can be transferred right away between two peers via entering the private and public keys. These exchanges of digital assets can be done with minimal processing fees and time. This concept is similar to the actual stock exchange.

Such trading involves speculation on price movements through a trading account where buying and selling the underlying coins are performed. We will observe more information about cryptocurrency trading in this blog.

A. Types of Trading

Short term trading is done like scalping or jobbing where traders are concerned to execute the position for smaller profits in a short period i.e., the trader does not wait for huge profits or bigger loss. They quickly react to the market for buying and selling of cryptocurrency, which is CFD (Contract for Differences). Due to their style of trading methodology, they create huge volumes in the market.

2. Long-Term Trading

In long-term trading, the long position traders have to keep their position for a longer period until the target point is achieved. In other words, the waiting time can be for several months also. They analyze the market based on fundamental and technical analysis to create the entry point, exit point, and position size. These traders are keen to manage the funds for assured or minimum return.

News and information drive the market, and therefore, traders are eventually updated with the market news to obtain good results while trading.

3. Cryptocurrency Management

We must generate various information, including the investment amount on cryptocurrency, free margin, and size of positioning. We should get an idea of the amount of money for investment purposes, funds to be kept for free margin, and timing to settle the position in the case of profit or loss.
