📚 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."
