O que e Trading?

Trading e o ato de comprar e vender ativos financeiros com o objetivo de obter lucro. Em essencia, trading e simples: voce compra algo a um preco e vende a um preco mais alto. A diferenca entre seu preco de compra e venda e seu lucro.

How Does Trading Work?

Quando voce decide operar, normalmente segue estes passos:

1. Choose an asset voce quer to trade (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
2. Analyze o mercado para decidir se o preco vai subir ou cair.
3. Place an order em um exchange para comprar ou vender.
4. Close sua posicao executando a operacao oposta para realizar seu lucro ou prejuizo.
