🔹 WHAT ARE TRADING PAIRS AND WHY THEY MATTER IN STRATEGY

In crypto trading, a trading pair represents the two currencies you're swapping — for example, BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC. Understanding how these pairs work is essential for executing effective trading strategies.

🔸 WHAT IS A TRADING PAIR?

A trading pair shows the value of one cryptocurrency in relation to another.

➡️ Example: In BTC/USDT, you're buying BTC using USDT (a stablecoin).

🔸 TYPES OF PAIRS:

1. Crypto to Stablecoin (e.g., ETH/USDT)

✅ Great for measuring value in dollars

✅ Best for beginners

2. Crypto-to-Crypto (e.g., ETH/BTC)

🔁 Used when trading one coin for another

⚠️ Requires strong market understanding

3. Altcoin Pairs (e.g., ADA/BNB)

🌐 Useful on platforms with deep liquidity

🚨 Be cautious of volatility and liquidity

🔸 HOW TO CHOOSE PAIRS FOR STRATEGY

Use high-volume pairs to avoid slippage

Align with market trend: trade BTC/USDT during BTC uptrend

Use correlation analysis: If BTC and ETH move similarly, ETH/BTC may stay range-bound

✅ Pro Tip: Stick to a few core pairs and master them instead of chasing every coin.

Choosing the right pair can make a huge difference in your profitability, risk exposure, and trade timing.
