Different level of risk in crypto currency trading
Different level of risk in crypto currency trading
Hi,
I have some experience in crypto trading (far from being a master though).
One question I came across is if there are different level of risks for different cryptos? I know that generally cryptos are like stocks, ie you only can lose what you invest; but obviously there are financial products to deal with leverage etc.
But if we take a simple example: If I just would like to buy some (simple) CEL shares for 1000 $, this would be the maximum I could lose right?
The reason I am asking is that for some COINS, on coingecko there is a disclamer saying ‘Highly volatile investment product. Your capital is at risk.’ (which is a banner sponsored by etoro, but it doesnt appear at all cryptos…)
I understand that with speculative cryptos you can lose part of or all of your investment, but is the risk limited to the amount i laid out? When I was trying to buy a similar crpto on binance they displayed some warning as well which confused me quite a lot…
If anyone could shed some light on this that would be appreciated.
If you simply buy or sell in the spot trading only what you invest is at risk. You probably get the risk alert when you move on margin trading or others working with leverage, as it happens to me on Binance. But as far as I know you can lose what you invest, due to the high volatility and the leverage. For further info I suggest you to read some tutorials on your exchange, otherwise stick with the spot trading.
