How di I trade/Invest with X4T?
Step 1: Watch the tutorial
To get started, we recommend watching our step-by-step video tutorial at the end of this article. It will guide you through the full trading process on X4T. The video is easy to follow and explains how to use the platform to trade cryptocurrencies, helping you feel confident and informed before you begin.
Step 2: What does trading/investing mean?
Before you start, here’s what these terms mean:
- Trading means buying and selling cryptocurrencies, usually to make a profit. It often involves more frequent transactions and focuses on short-term price movements.
Example: On X4T, trading could mean buying Bitcoin when the price is lower and selling when the price increases.
- Investing means buying a cryptocurrency and holding it for the long term, expecting its value to grow over time. It focuses less on short-term fluctuations and more on long-term potential.
On X4T, you can invest in well-known assets such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, which many users consider strong long-term holdings.
Whether you prefer trading or investing, X4T provides a secure and accessible platform for all experience levels. Understanding these concepts helps you make better, more informed decisions.
Step 2.1: How much do I need to start trading?
A common question is: “Do I need to have USD 70,000 (or the full market price) to buy one full Bitcoin?”
No.
Just like stocks, you don’t need to buy a full unit of a cryptocurrency. You can buy fractions of Bitcoin (or any other crypto).
Example: You could buy 0.001 BTC instead of 1 BTC.
This flexibility allows you to start with an amount you feel comfortable with. Once you buy crypto, you own that asset and can decide what to do next: hold it, trade again, sell it, or use it for another purpose.
Step 3: Summary — Trading vs. Investing
Key differences:
- Trading is short-term and aims for quicker gains from price changes. It requires monitoring and more frequent action.
- Investing is long-term and focuses on building value over time. It’s typically more relaxed since you hold the asset longer.
- Fractional investing: You can buy fractions of a coin, making crypto accessible for any budget.
Both options are available on X4T and can be adapted to your financial goals. Understanding your risk tolerance and objectives is essential when choosing between trading and investing.
Step 4: A practical example
Imagine you use X4T to trade or invest:
- Trading example:
You buy Ethereum on Monday when the price is low, planning to sell later in the week if the price rises. You monitor the price daily and on Friday you see a 10% increase. You sell your Ethereum and lock in the profit.
- Investing example:
You buy Bitcoin in January and plan to hold it for several years, believing in long-term growth. You hold through market ups and downs with the goal of benefiting from long-term appreciation. Some users also swap their local currency or stablecoins into Bitcoin to protect against inflation—there are many strategies in crypto.
No matter your approach, X4T provides the tools to execute your plan smoothly, with a platform designed for both beginners and advanced users.
