Introduction of Trading Platforms Centralized & Decentralized Centralized Trading platforms are the type of trading platform which are controlled by a particular organization and the user's funds are in the custody of the organization. Centralized platforms provide a vast range of features. The centralized trading platforms provide the marketplace, security, and registered assets for trading. In centralized trading platforms, the central authority of the platform had control over the Order book, Users' assets, Users' private information, and complete trade execution.
Binance is the top crypto market leading centralized trading platform, which allows its users to trade securely between the registered assets and provides the best environment and several other features. Binance allows both Spot and Future trading. Binance provides the nonself custodial hot wallet to its users where they can store their funds.
Decentralized Trading platforms are the digital marketplace where no central authority is in control and the trading is executed between the person to person, This type of trading is based on the open source automated blockchain smart contracts where AMMs, DAO, and liquidity providers create an environment for easy, secure and decentralized trading. Decentralized trading platforms have many upper hands on the centralized trading platforms major one is funds as self-custody.
Uniswap, Panckeswap, and 1inchswap are some leading decentralized trading platforms that are open-source automated blockchain-based smart contracts. These decentralized trading platforms provide all the similar features to the centralized trading platforms even some better DeFi services such as lending borrowing, yield farming, and high APY Staking. Decentralized platforms cost a little higher in trading fees and funds are in your custody.
Which is preferred for New ones and Why?I would recommend using a centralized trading platform there are a few reasons behind preferring the centralized platform for trading peruse. Centralized trading platforms provide high security to the funds and if the user manages well on his end the security is enough to block serious hacker attacks. On the decentralized end, you are responsible for the security of your funds and I think as we are to trading and crypto we are currently not able to secure our funds. Centralized trading platforms provide verified assets to trade but on the decentralized end, anyone can add trading pairs which are not good for new users as they can get spammed by the spam pair and fake tokens which will be worth nothing.
Centralized trading platforms cost low trading fees even sometimes negligible but on the decentralized, as you are directly interacting with the blockchain it will cost accordingly to the traffic on the blockchain and it will be always much higher than centralized trading. So as I am preffring a centralized trading platform for the new users the only reason is security and trading fees, our capital on initial time is small so will try our best to reduce the costs. Decentralized Finance and Trading platforms have much much to offer to the community but we can do it after getting some experience.
Introduction of Spot Trading & Future TradingSpot Trading is the type of trading in which the user buy and sell his assets at the market price on any trading platform. In this type of being and selling the buyer or seller sell the assets on the market value and in order book simentneiously trade is executed. In the spot, there is a real-time exchange of assets. Spot trading is available on both Centralized and Decentralized trading platforms. Only 1-way trading is possible on the market value.
Future Trading is the type of trading in which the user can go with the Long and Short trading call where the user goes with a trade on the future contract price. In future trade in the crypto market user can take leverage on the funds and trade with high risk on future contracts. In this type of trading the trade is executed on the future time of some asset and predetermined price. In this type of trading, you can go with 2-way trading.
Major Differences are as follow;► Time in spot trading trade is executed in real-time and in the future as per name the trade is executed in future time.
► Value, In-spot trade is executed on the current market value, and in the Future the trade is executed on the predetermined future value of the asset
► Spot trading involves low risk as trade is executed with the own assets and current market value it involves low risk of loss because there is no liquidation of the funds but on another hand when you trade on leveraged funds and the futures contract there is a high chance of trade liquation of funds if it goes wrong, also future market value prediction in crypto is not efficient at all.
Which is preferred for NewonesI will prefer Spot trading for the newcomers as they don't know much about technical analysis and they have minor experience with trading in the crypto market also they are short In funds so we can't risk the funds. In spots as we trade on the market value and there is no liquidation on the assets. I know in future trades you can make fast money and easy money but it's highly risky and we can't afford the major losses at the start of the journey. In some spots we can go with any type of trade with our small funds and in the future is not possible we can't hold our trade in the volatile market for a long time due to the liquidation price.
Also, there is the concept of the Halal and Haram involved in the future trade so I will prefer my Muslim friends to research it as there is interest involved in long-time-frame future trade. Our first step is earning good and risk management and currently, both are not possible with the future trade on the being level.
