You wouldn’t go to a gunfight with a knife. So don’t go into the crypto arena without an arsenal of tools.
Why? It’s simple. As many professional traders will tell you, there is a wealth of products out there that can literally help you boost your bottom line.
If we look at the centralized trading markets, experienced traders regularly use trading tools.
These include an advanced charting package to get a clear picture of the markets. They also help you identify an asset’s trending direction, they can help you create your own entry and exit points for a trade, and can help you generate and confirm your own buy and sell signals using technical analysis.
Traders will often refer to an economic calendar to understand the key events and economic indicators that are coming up, with an idea of how they might impact the various markets.
Finally, news is a real tool in a trader’s arsenal. Many traders trade the news to understand what drivers can move an asset’s price. This is also very relevant to crypto traders.
Cryptos are moved more by news headlines (and supply) than anything else.
If Janet Yellen, the Treasurer of the Fed talks in a negative fashion about Bitcoin, then this can really impact the price. Bitcoin, which is the flagship of the crypto markets, tends to be positively correlated to a lot of other crypto assets, which then move in response to Bitcoin’s moves.
If Elon Musk blinks, then the cryptos tend to soar. Coming forewarned is forearmed when investing in cryptos.
The following is a list of the top crypto tools to add to your daily arsenal for either trading or investing in cryptos.
