Hi all,

Has anyone moved from forex to crypto, for trading not buying and holding? If you have which brokers do you use? Do you find it easier than Forex? If you trade on a broker like GDAX is the process much slower than on a broker like pepperstone?

Thanks

MP

Hello. I would also like to try the crypto currency. I'm subscribing to this thread. But I do not think that the trade in crypto currency should come to replace forex trading. I will not leave forex, even if I start better on currencies.
Just wondering...
What is your experience of forex trading? why did you decide to consider the crypto option.

Right now i don't see any advantage for trading Bitcoins, the overall conditions suck.

I can simply trade a Dollar portfolio with 7 major fx pairs with a conservative volatility that can move during the week from 4 to 700 Dollar.
It has the tightest spreads and lowest costs.
Nothing can beat that.

Hah! You really are a trueborn trader.
And indeed the trader's possibilities can not be limited to tools, we are free public. But still, I'm used to trading several currency pairs, gradually improving my trading.

It depends on what type of strategy you use. Does your strategy rely heavily on technical analysis? If so, what type of technical analysis do you use? Because, from what I've seen of any crypto garbage, they don't respect candle patterns the same way Forex pairs do. If your TA works with crypto then go for it! If it doesn't then don't go anywhere near it!
