Asset

Practice Trading Crypto

Crypto markets trade 24/7 with no circuit breakers. Volatility is high, gaps are frequent, and thin order books on altcoins make execution a real cost.

What defines the asset

  • 24/7 markets with no circuit breakers.
  • High volatility and frequent overnight gaps.
  • Strong correlation to broader risk sentiment.
  • Thin order books on altcoins widen spreads.

How to trade it

  • Size for the volatility, not for your account balance.
  • Mind the spread on altcoins — stick to liquid majors first.
  • Never hold through a 30% gap unprepared.
  • Track BTC dominance to read rotation into alts.

Frequently asked questions

Is crypto trading different from stock trading?+

Same principles, harsher environment: 24/7, no circuit breakers, bigger gaps, thinner books. Sizing and risk matter even more.

Can I day trade crypto?+

Yes, but the 24/7 nature means no market close to force you out. Self-imposed session limits are essential — the simulator enforces them.
