Nice one bro. These are most of the terms that are needed to be known as crypto traders. There were times i came across some of these terms, but never knew the meanings. Trading is one of the most lucrative aspect of crypto, but it needs adequate caution while trading on any exchange, so as to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
These are nice tips. This made me to remember when i trade some coins in arbitrage. There are some sites that most times make coins to dump and some are very good at pumping prices. Sometimes ago, i bought i coin cheaply on Folkdelta, when it was unofficially listed and i was able to sell on another exchange at higher price within 24 hours. Sometimes, crypto is operated like this and you need to keep yourself updated.
Thanks so much for this enlightenment. I heard and read many times on how people make it big in trading. Just recently, i was considering going into trading and these are some of the terms needed by everyone who aspires to trade. Trading can be so technical and a novice that is into trading can easily lost his investments if care is not taken. That is more reason it is very good to learn the act before starting. Once again, i appreciate you sharing this important info.
