In my existence here in this world the best way for me to learn anything i have completely no idea about is through using the internet, videos to be exact because yes books can also be very useful but let us face the fact that a lot of us wants to watch rather than to read and after you have learned the fundamentals of trading you can do paper trade or trading simulator so that you can get familiarize of the market and your techniques and then after that you'll get enough experience to enter real trading.

To be exact, not only videos will able to help you on what we should learn first about trading. Inforgraphics is another way on making it easier for us to learn to trade. It is also important to know terminologies and know exactly what it means. I'm sure you know about infographics and how it helps many users understand easily even if it's not a video that you can play.

Agree with both. What do yout think, are there more people which would like to earn cryptp through reading lessons or watching videos online?

Actually right we cannot rely only on videos but if this is the only resources can avail with since he don't have money to stay on trading class then maybe this is a good option there are video trainings has been posted on youtube and certain techniques and other fundamentals can be trade with and also there are site who offer a test money to trade on and by there you can try your skills acquired if it's working for you or not.

To be honest, a quick way to learn crypto trading is to measure the emotion of loss in trading directly, only need to learn a brief theory and the rest try to trade directly.

I mean by this loss, we tend to understand what needs to be done, and look for the cause by googling directly from the condition that is being experienced. Emotions that arise will trigger mastery indirectly.

The unattractive thing is that we spend capital without getting profit first because experience is sometimes expensive.

There is a lot of knowledge on the internet, be it facebook, youtube, and here. You can learn a lot from experienced people, but the most important thing is that you need to synthesize and draw experience for yourself. All the successful traders I know have learned from their mistakes. And the important thing to remember is that not everyone can become a trader in the cryptocurrency market, if you are not able to become the best trader, you should never try.

Getting our hands dirty is key in my opinion. Trading simulators do the job but when there's real money to be played with, everything changes..especially emotion. Which are the best simulators? Altcoin Fantasy?

Experience is a matter of time so be patient and learn from your mistakes. That's the main rule for beginners imo. Moreover, you can find many professional forums or blogs on the internet so use this. Another thing is to have a user-friendly exchange which helps you to become good in trading. I mean something like CoinDeal where you've got features like Galaxy Score which could help you to decide when is the best time to buy/sell and which coin.

other than reading you can try to paper trade, try simulating a real trade with real data (btc usd exchange rate as example) until you feel confident to move on to real trading.

Trading in cryptocurrency is a lot easier, but this thing needs a lot of practice. all of the time you will faced trials and errors. you don't need to use trading bots in your first few days of trading because this is some critical time if to learn it the hard way until you are done trading manually, then you decide if you want to contnue or not.

Well trial and error can be done smartly by not risking any cash through the usage of portfolio management apps such as blockfolio and do your mock trade in there. But I wouldn't go on doing mock trades first as you need to learn everything from technical analysis and apply what you have learned from your trades. Basing it from my experience this was really a good introduction for me in trading since I didn't risk any money in the first place and this was like a test for me to see if I can really handle it in the real market which I did. Also looking at the analysis of others really help as you can learn different techniques coming from other persons and you can even observe it if what they are doing is right.

Terminologies, usage of coins, what does this button do this button that. That's basically the beginners guide to trading. You learn, learn, learn, then apply it by yourself. Stop letting others paint your way of trading or style of trading, find your own style which imho, results in a better experience in the future. Plus, losing a bit when starting beats losing a lot in the late game because of a strategy you only followed. I'd recommend trying virtual trading to get a feel about how to trade, but don't expect the same experience felt there to be the same in real trading. Virtual trading is more on how to let the beginner understand the ins and outs of a trading experience.

Personally I don't prefer reading books rather I have preferred to watch some trading videos and articles daily which are on-trend. But if you want to start from the beginning then you can read this book- Mastering in bitcoin (Either you can buy this book online or else you can get the whole book on google) and you can get so much knowledge from this forum as well

If you are aware of what is crypto currencies,now want to start trading crypto currency!

1) You can learn about trading in general first and learn about crypto trading which is available as e books.

2) Enter trading simulators and try to trade from yourself and apply the strategies you have learned.

3) Now move to real exchange but with very small capital then do the same things and get the real life experience.

Now you are ready to start your crypto trading career.

Simulators are definetely a way to go together with other trading tools for starters/beginners.
Altcoin Fantasy is my favorite simulator and i prefer Newscrypto.io platform regarding tools.
All the best trading today!

Even though there are thousands of articles, videos and websites about cryptocurrencies and trading, I think the best option is to learn from your experience and mistakes. You can gain basic knowledge from such sources but that's not enough. The key is to observe and analyze market situation every day. It is very wide-ranging stuff and time is needed to feel comfortable in it.

Agree, experience is essential. I've been trading for quite some time now but i still don't feel comfortable.

Would probably grab a book/start reading this forum. What about you?

The first thing you should do is to properly set yourself up psychologically. If you are unbalanced, have a great fear of loss or are too greedy, then do not even approach margin trading. Try strengths with a small deposit in spot trading. Do not pursue big profits, do not stretch losing trades.
And the most important rule from me is to use stoploss!

You can really mix both especially most of the technical analysis books we have are all about trading stocks mixing it with TAs for cryptocurrencies could help you know the differences and similarities of both markets. Additionally if you want to focus on pure TA then there is a no better place to go then tradingview's dedicated page for each crypto since they have a community there for each crypto and all they talk about are technical analysis, but I wouldn't suggest you go here first as you wouldn't know what they are talking about if you still don't know the basics of TA.

Here is tradingview's page for Bitcoin.

Cool advice. As a beginner just entering the game i'll definitely stick to don't use all of your money, only spend what you can afford to lose.

In my opinion, the first thing you need to learn is how to filter information that is available to you. There is a plethora of videos, articles and posts out there on trading, but only a handful of them would be useful to you. But as a newbie, it's difficult to know which information is relevant and which isn't. You may have to depend on recommendations and reputation of those offering the information both on this forum and on external websites.
You build on knowledge and become familiar with terms and indicators.
Then you start practicing, demo is the safest means of practice for newbies to trading.

With demo you meant sites like Altcoin Fantasy?

For a newbie, you should start pondering what they mean when they say buy low and sell high. And then observe the charts what is happening all day. This may not have more information for you but once you have some btc to use then you can buy USDT and then if the BTC dips lower you can buy BTC thru that USDT. Once BTC rise again, try converting it to USDT. You can do this over and over til you start thinking how to foresee what could happen in the next few days. Then you read the wall observer thread and see thier indicators which you might wanna learn as well.

Thank you! Getting 'hands dirty' is definitely a way to go. What do you think about trading tools which some of the platforms offer?
With trading tools i meant tools such: arbitrage, coin tracker (portfolio), whale alert?
Thank you for help!

I do not think any book can teach you crypto trading. If i were you, i would definitely search some basic knowledge videos about trading. It will be better if you can find a complete free video course of crypto trading.
Also i will try to get some knowledge from this forum specially the trading and speculation section.

Thank for advice. I'm not a newbie but often think of how would i start learning from the begining if i had to. Complete video course is the best guess.

Read the bitcoin whitepaper written by satoshi.
Its the first step that every bitcoin user should do but most of them miss out. What this will do is make your faith in bitcoin stronger and that helps to prevent being swayed by altcoin shills and nocoiners trying to make you sell your coins. Of course it is totally your own choice what coins to buy but bitcoin by far is the most safest of them in terms of long term holding and future aspects of acceptance and usage.

Prefer to go for a stock market trading analysis book if you wish, because there not many known bitcoin trading books out there and technical or fundamental is similar for both.

Avoid youtube channels because they do nothing but shill their own coins.

Also you can start dummy trading with virtual cash and based on that cash buy/sell as per marker quotes and see the outcomes.
