Types of TradingTrading type can be divided on the basis of the time frame and on the basis of the trading approach or you can say that trading nature.
Trading by nature/approach: In this type of trading we decide our approach that how we want to trade using our own funds which is called
spot trading. Trading using future contracts and taking leverage on our funds is called
future trading. These two are basic approaches we use in crypto trading and I think the basic overview is enough. There are different types of markets (Crypto, forex, stocks, etc)where we can trades but the basics are the same in every type of trading market such as patterns, and time frames, the approach of analysis.
Trading by Time frame: On a time frame basis we can basically divide the market into 4 major categories and each category holds a completely different trading strategy and requirement to start so let's start the types are Day trading, Scalping, Swing and Position Holding.
▸Day Trading: Day trading is the most common time frame for trading in the crypto market, I will recommend this type of trading to intermediate-experienced traders, In day trading with spot market trading you can start with even 100$ and it's not a big amount in my view for getting started will a side business.
▸Scalping: Scalping is a type of trading on the basis of the time frame in which multiple trades are done in a short period of time this type of trading is approached by big investors and experts, I will not recommend this type of trading to the newbies. Also, the requirements are high as I mentioned that it is targeted by the big investors so if you really want to join you need big capital and good analysis and experience.
▸Position Holding: This type of trading is based on a long time span such as holding the trade from weeks to months this type of trading is also known as Investment holding. This is the most preferred type of trading for the newbie who is completely newborn and doesn't have much time for analysis and learning the technical stuff. They can simply do a quick overview of the market and then create their own strategy for trading such as DCA and in-type. You can start it with most minimum capital required even by 1$ per day to maximize whatever you have.
▸Swing Swing trading is based on the time frame from holding a posting from a day to a week. I will recommend this type of trading to newcomers as they can gain experience in this type of trading with lower risks and lower initial capital even with 20$ to 30$. You can learn all the technical analysis and how to use tools using this type of trade its slow but non-risky.
Ending words You are a newbie and you have small initial capital you have no experience my first recommendation to you is to go with the swing trading time frame which can be a good option for you in spot and demo for gaining experience after that you can directly jump into any type of trading except Scalping, I will not recommend scalping to you as it's for the most experienced and High capital holders so we can go into it after 2 to 3 years experience qualifications.
Nebiew to trading which trading category should be chosen?Here from the trading category my concern is related to platform and investment approaches such as centralized or decentralized, spot or future for the frequently asked question such as why should we choose
CEXs or DEXs? and
Why should we prefer spot trading? what are the risks? all these questions I will cover in the next part of the series as mentioned at the end and I will add a link to the topic at the end once I created it.
So moving onto the main concern I think we are doing it all for the newbies so I will refer you to work with a Centralized trading platform and go for the spot trading. Why and How all such type of explanation I will give in the next part? So our primary concern is we will use a centralized trading platform and Spot trading to gain experience after that we can switch freely.
Recommended Apps & ToolsTo trade efficiently we need some tools and applications which will help us trade so I will recommend some applications and tools that will help newcomers in trading. We need quick updates and News, we need to track market values of assets from time to time we need tools to analyze assets' potential we need a platform to trade.
Here I will directly recommend links and APP names with a small description
►Trading Platform: I will recommend
Binance for getting started with trading as Binance is the leading crypto trading platform with a variety of features. as I have already mentioned it's another topic that you should not use centralized platforms I will explain it next topic.
►Economic Calander: This is very important to get updated with the upcoming events so we can design our strategy for trading in the coming days I will recommend
CoinMarketCal and
CryptoSlate.
►Market Tracker: Market tracker is very important we can use Binance also for tracking volume and prices but a dedicated tracker is important it comes with a lot of additional features and I will recommend
Coingecko and
CMC both are good but I will prefer coingecko. In the tracker you can directly manage your total portfolio you can track PNL and loss in each and every single transaction you have updated.
►News Source: This is very important as news and updates put a major impact in a small time frame market and you can use individual social media for every asset. I will recommend following
Twitter crypto influencers also
Crypto Panic.

My Recomended Trading Plan For YouSo diversification of the funds is very important in trading I will try to help you by providing an overview of the fund's management which can help you in trading. For that let's consider you have 100$ and you want to start trading you are going with scalping and Day trading, I will recommend you diversify your 100$ and use 40% of the funds and take 4 trades a day or week for the trades and 25% for each trade form the 40% funds, Hold 30% in stablecoins for the emergency such as sudden dump in market. use the remaining 30% of the total fund to recover losses in the trading funds. Keep it simple never go all in starting time book a small profit to gain experience and after that, your journey will boom InshaAllah.
Rest of the things I will cover in the coming posts and in the series.
The analysis is very important for trading and in 3rd or 4th part I will try to cover up the Analysis and its types in detail. It might take time but I will try my best to post one daily 1 part to end it in the current week.
