I am in the same position I have several coins and HODle them for 3 to 4 month but still I do not know how to exit go back to the FIAT, I just want to be ready some one said that when ever the time comes to trade for USDC a Stable coin or something like that. But still I do want to learn how to set up the Risk/Reward stop loss to be able to trade just a few shatoshies at the beginning maybe $20 US dollars for many, many, times,… with the typical 1%risk to 2% Reward. Look for it in YouTube the one to two Risk Reward rule. I will do it when I know it is a well set up plan,… until then, I and sure that I know what is going on. Do not RUSH The market will alway be here and I know you can either profit from accumulating in the Bear or Profiting in the Bull side even when it runs side ways. well Julie66 Wish you Great trades the BEST to get that free $$$ lost of it,… and remember do not rush.
Hi,
I am trading on Binance exchange now. You can find youtube tutorials and it will explain, limit, market and stop loss. It makes sense when you use a proper exchange and not a beginner site.
When you sell, you sell to stable coin not fiat? Does it matter? Same difference?
Thank you. Good luck to you also.
Hi Julie,
Great news, glad you found a solution. For trading, as it’s generally a short-term time frame, I think Binance is ok for now.
I don’t personally use Binance, but I believe transactions are in Tether, not fiat. For now, it’s a popular exchange. If regulation comes, perhaps Tether will be in the crosshairs and the exchange’s popularity decreases, but that’s a whole different topic of conversation.
Hi Chris,
Thank you for the clarification on Binance. I was wondering about that actually.
I am exploring different exchanges, now getting to know the defi space through the DeFI 101 course. I was using Binance for alt coins. There are so many projects and so much to learn.
What do you think of crypto.com?
Thanks again!

A trade or transaction occurs after the buyer and seller agree on a price for the security which is no higher than the bid and no lower than the ask. The difference between bid and ask prices, or the spread, is a key indicator of the of the asset. In general, the smaller the spread, the better the liquidity. - What is the leverage?

Leverage is an investment strategy of using borrowed money—specifically, the use of various financial instruments or borrowed to increase the potential return of an investment.

Hey folks,
I was recently in a discussion where someone told me they were using Forex to invest in the “concept increase” of Bitcoin and “conceptual gains” but they couldn’t elaborate on what that means. Could you help me understand what they are talking about? @Chris_Bailey
Thanks 
Hello, thanks for the question. From your message I can’t understand why this person has made those comments, it seems a highly questionable concept and I can only see two explanations at this stage.
I’m thinking either they’re misinformed and perhaps mis-used/mis-quoted the concepts of forex trading in an effort to appear more experienced, OR they’ve simply just not explained themselves in enough detail for their idea to be understood properly.
If the second explanation is the case, then it’s disappointing that they couldn’t expand on what they meant any further, so I’d be leaning towards the first explanation and would be inclined to discard their comment as useless - unless they can elaborate.
Hi Chris,
Thank you for the insight. I was definitely confused by the conversation because I was trying to learn something. I’ll look into the investing course here on Ivan on Tech.
