If you’ve decided to get into cryptocurrency, it’s not enough to want to do it. Buy cheaper and sell higher. What could be easier? Well, in that case, everyone around would be successful traders and investors.
To consistently make money in the cryptocurrency market, you need to understand what the best strategies are. Then you will clearly understand what to do and how to behave in the long term. And this is very important because the crypto market is very unpredictable.
You can quickly go broke if you rely on news and rumors and trade based on them and your intuition. You can’t be sure of success all the time if there is no concrete plan of action in case situations develop in different directions.

Experienced traders always work based on well-thought-out methods. That’s why beginners must understand different trading strategies from the beginning, so they don’t disappoint the crypto market and understand how to earn steadily.
Cryptocurrency trading strategies are essentially methods of planning and executing trades that a trader follows in any given situation. It is on their basis that they decide when and what trades to make, when to exit, and how much money to risk depending on the position.
A cryptocurrency trading strategy is the clearly defined step-by-step plan needed to achieve profit (if you decide to get involved with crypto). Special analytical forecasting tools are usually used to draw it up.
This plan, if adhered to, will reduce financial risks and help guard against ill-considered emotional actions.
Here are six of the most popular methods of trading cryptocurrency. But before you choose any particular one, you should do your analytics and choose the most convenient one.
This strategy allows traders to profit from small changes in price over short periods. The trader’s task with this approach is to add up small profits, which in the long run will bring good money. Traders who use such a strategy are called scalpers.
Sometimes they use leverage (that is, borrowed funds provided by a broker to a trader) to open more trades and hard stop losses (an exchange order placed in the trading terminal by a trader or investor to limit their losses when the price reaches a predetermined level for risk management). They are traded within 1 minute, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes. Deals usually last from a few seconds to no more than an hour.
This strategy assumes entering and exiting positions on the same day. Day traders benefit within one trading day. They trade on more extended time frames than scalpers.
The task of a day trader is to get the most out of small market movements and volatility (a statistical financial indicator that describes the variability of prices) of bearish (pessimistic sentiments and trends) and bullish (optimistic sentiments and trends) markets. Technical analysis is needed to develop strategies for day trading. Therefore, day trading and scalping are more suitable for experienced traders.
With this strategy, traders hold trading positions for a long time: months or even years. Therefore, they often ignore short-term price changes. Such position traders often focus on daily, weekly and monthly timeframes when making transactions. Assessment of market price trends is usually made based on fundamental analysis.
Such traders buy cryptocurrency in one market and sell it in another to profit from the price difference. On one exchange, the price of Bitcoin can be, for example, $24,000, and on another, $24,500. In that case, the trader will transfer the purchased BTC to an exchange with a higher rate to sell them more profitably.
With this strategy, transactions usually last from one day to several weeks or months. This strategy is also called a medium-term strategy because it is between a daily strategy and a HODLing strategy. The trader working with this strategy will not make spontaneous decisions like the short-term strategy. This style is best suited for novice traders.
In this strategy, a predetermined amount of money is spent on purchasing a selected cryptocurrency, which is then inverted at regular intervals, but in small increments, allowing the trader to benefit from market growth. At the same time, the assets are not exposed to market risks. Investing continues regardless of market movements until the target is reached. Purchases are made on both highs and lows.
DCA allows you to invest in your preferred cryptocurrency over a long period without being affected by extreme highs and lows (as is the case when investing large amounts at once). However, it is a long-term strategy, and you will have to pay more commissions when trading.

Developing a cryptocurrency trading strategy that is right for you is not easy. You have to take into account both personal qualities and financial capabilities. After reviewing six of the most popular methods, perhaps you’ll choose one (or more) of the ones you like and are most comfortable with.
If you try several trading techniques, make a diary in which you record the results of all transactions. Then you will be able to determine the most successful strategies. Good luck!
