If you’ve been watching Bitcoin bounce around, seen altcoins explode on social media, or heard someone casually say “I made a 3x on that coin” — you’ve probably wondered:
“How do I actually start trading crypto?”
Whether you’re in it to build long-term wealth or learn how to profit from market moves, the biggest challenge is knowing where to begin.
Good news — we’ve built EPIQ Trading Floor to give you everything you need: education, tools, trade setups, dashboards, and community — all in one place.
In this post, you’ll learn:
- ✅ What crypto trading is
- ✅ What kind of trading fits your personality
- ✅ What you need to get started
- ✅ And how to use EPIQ to shortcut your learning curve
Let’s break it down step by step.
🧠 What Is Crypto Trading?
Crypto trading means buying and selling digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins to profit from price movement.
There are two main styles:
- Spot Trading – You buy the actual asset (e.g., 1 ETH) and sell it when the price goes up.
- Futures Trading – You trade contracts that track price. You can long (bet up) or short (bet down), and use leverage to amplify returns (and risk).
You can trade for minutes (scalping), hours or days (swing trading), or hold for months and years (investing).
Inside EPIQ, we show you how to swing trade and leverage trade using our high-probability setups and macro dashboards.
🛠️ What Do I Need to Start Trading Crypto?
Here’s your starter kit:
- ✅ An Exchange — This is where you buy, sell, and trade crypto. We recommend trusted platforms like Bybit, Binance, Coinbase, or PrimeXBT.
- ✅ A Charting Platform — Use TradingView to analyze price charts and patterns.
- ✅ A Game Plan — This is the most important part. Without strategy, you’re just gambling.
