Investing means holding for years. Trading means buying and selling over days or hours to profit from price moves, which is harder than it looks.
Time horizon
A market order fills now at the best price available. A limit order fills only at your price or better.
Limit order
Crypto prices can move 10% or more in a day. Size every position as if that move could happen against you.
Volatility
Borrowing to trade multiplies gains and losses. A small move against a leveraged position can wipe it out.
Leverage
A stop-loss sells automatically at a set price to cap a loss. Decide your exit before you enter.
Stop-loss
Log every trade with the reason, the result and the fees. It shows what works, and you will need it for taxes.
