📚 Spot Trading — Lecture 1: The Basics

let's make it easier to under .

🟢Spot trading basically means:

Buy → Hold → Sell

You buy a coin at one price and sell it later at a higher price. The difference is your profit.

💰 Simple example

You buy $100 worth of BTC.

BTC goes up by 5%.

Your $100 becomes $105.

👉 Gross profit = $5

But remember, trading fees can reduce your actual profit a little.

🛒 Market Order vs Limit Order

Market Order:
“I want to buy/sell now at the available market price.”

Limit Order:
“I only want to buy/sell if the price reaches the level I choose.”

Example:

BTC = $100

You want to buy at $98 → you place a Limit Buy at $98.

If BTC never reaches $98, your order may not execute.

⚠️ Beginner mistakes

❌ Buying just because a coin is pumping
❌ Putting all your money into one trade
❌ Ignoring fees
❌ Trading without a plan
❌ Chasing quick profits
❌ Thinking every trade must be profitable

One thing I learned:

A good trader doesn't only ask, “How much can I make?”

They also ask:

“How much can I lose if I’m wrong?”

That mindset is more important than finding the next “100x coin."
