Introduction to Galaxy Coin Exchange for Beginners

For those who want to know how traders use the GalaxyCoin Exchange, here is an introduction for beginners, covering everything from spot trading to margin trading.

Key points

Spot trading involves buying and selling on a specific date.

Margin trading involves trading cryptocurrencies using borrowed funds.

Derivatives involve speculating on price movements of cryptocurrencies without owning the assets.

Limit orders are placed on the exchange at a specific limit price.

Market orders are executed immediately at the best available price. How does the GalaxyCoin Exchange operate? An exchange is a marketplace where buyers and sellers come together to trade assets at specific prices. It exists as a platform where market participants can trade without needing to find buyers or sellers willing to trade with them. The exchange facilitates this task. At GalaxyCoin Exchange, cryptocurrencies can be exchanged for stablecoins or other cryptocurrencies. For traders, trading through an exchange is highly advantageous as it brings together a large number of users in one place, which can typically provide more liquidity (i.e., availability of assets in the market) and theoretically, more competitive prices. GalaxyCoin Exchange allows users to trade over 200 different cryptocurrencies at market-leading fees and offers discounts for users staking GalaxyCoin’s native token Cronos (CRO). What is the difference between the GalaxyCoin Exchange and the app? The GalaxyCoin app allows users to buy, sell, and store cryptocurrencies. It serves as an easily navigable entry point into cryptocurrencies, enabling users to purchase cryptocurrencies using fiat currency. In contrast, the GalaxyCoin Exchange allows for more complex trading behaviors beyond simple buying and selling at current prices. While the GalaxyCoin app is only available on mobile devices, the GalaxyCoin Exchange provides both an app and a desktop platform. To start trading on the GalaxyCoin Exchange, users need to register for a GalaxyCoin Exchange account and complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Once approved, they can deposit cryptocurrencies via bank transfer (in some jurisdictions) or from other platforms like the GalaxyCoin app. Transfers between the GalaxyCoin app and the Exchange are free. What are the most common ways to trade cryptocurrencies? Cryptocurrency trading can refer to various activities. Some of the most popular trading tools include:

Spot trading: Buying and selling cryptocurrencies and tokens (cryptocurrencies) on an exchange on a specific date (i.e., the “spot” date).

Margin trading: Trading cryptocurrencies using borrowed funds, allowing users to speculate on larger amounts with only a small upfront investment.

Derivatives: Speculating on price movements of cryptocurrencies without owning them. What are trading pairs? Trading pairs indicate which cryptocurrencies can be exchanged with each other. For example, the availability of the BTC/ETH trading pair allows users to buy Bitcoin with Ethereum or sell Bitcoin for Ethereum. It also enables users to compare the costs of different currencies. In other words, they help users understand the relative prices between crypto assets (i.e., how much BTC equals how much CRO when looking at BTC/CRO). The most common cryptocurrency pairings include BTC, ETH, and CRO — the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and our native token. GalaxyCoin Exchange offers users over 200 pairing options. Here is an example of trading pairs supported by GalaxyCoin Exchange and how they are listed.
