How to choose the best cryptocurrency broker?

Also in the profile you will find the Traders Union referral link, and you can register using it. Before you start working with a broker, you need to study the services and features that it offers. It is important that you get full information about the company before you decide to work with it. In particular, it is important to analyze the following information.

Reliability of a cryptocurrency broker

First of all, you need to learn the basic information about the crypto broker. It is important to know what year it began its operation. The older and more reputable the company, the better. You also need to learn information about where the broker is registered and the number of the registration certificate.

Financial license is the key factor in choosing a cryptocurrency broker. This is the most important document that ensures that the company complies with all reliability and safety requirements of the regulator for.

It is recommended to choose a company with a license from a reliable jurisdiction - the USA, EU countries (for example, Cyprus), Australia, etc.

Trading conditions

The second important factor in choosing a broker is the trading conditions, more specifically the fees. Read about the structure and size of commissions and fees. Fees may vary depending on the type of trading account. Therefore, check out the fee options for cryptocurrencies that the broker offers.

It is also important to evaluate the number of trading instruments, specifically the cryptocurrencies the broker offers access to trading.

First of all, these are the cryptocurrencies that the broker offers access to. Availability of derivative instruments, such as contracts for difference (CFD), futures, options, is an additional advantage. If you plan to trade instruments other than cryptocurrencies (for example, Forex, precious metals, stocks), look at what the broker has to offer in this respect.

Educational materials

Education is one of the key criteria for choosing a broker for novice traders. The more materials the company provides, the better. Companies may offer the following educational opportunities:

• Video courses and tutorials.

• Online webinars.

• Educational blog.

• Literature.

• Glossary, etc.

Personal support of managers is a plus. Education can be paid or free. It is also important to pay attention to this when you are choosing a broker.

Analytics and news

Analytics is essential for effective trading. The more analytical materials and tools a company offers, the better. For example, a cryptocurrency broker may offer the following options:

• Newsfeed.

• Analytics by company experts and trading ideas.

• Fundamental data.

• Technical analysis tools on the trading platform.

• Email newsletters and reports.

If you are planning to trade cryptocurrencies,choose a broker that offers digital assets analysis. However, it is much better when the broker offers analytics on other assets as well.

Customer support

The mission of customer support is to assist traders in case of any issues. The key criteria for evaluation of customer support are the operating time and the available ways of contacting the support. It is important to choose a broker whose support is available 24/7 or at least 24/5. As for the contact options, the following need to be considered:

• Online chat.

• Email.

• Support by phone.

Support through instant messengers - Viber, Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and others, is also a big advantage.

How to start trading on a cryptocurrency exchange?

In order to start trading with a cryptocurrency broker, you need to:

• Choose a good cryptocurrency broker. Brokerprofiles on the Traders Union’s website can be of great help. There is a referral link in each profile that you can use to register.

• Fund your account. You can start with depositing a minimum amount to test the broker, its features and functionality. Information about the minimum deposit must be provided on the broker’s website. Traders can also find it in their Traders Union’s profile.

• Select assets to trade. Some brokers offer a limited selection of instruments, such as only the most popular cryptocurrencies. Other companies offer a large list that includes dozens or even hundreds of digital assets.

• Open a position. To do this, you need to understand how the trading platform of the brokerworks and check the selection of orders. Orders must be selected in accordance with the trading strategy.

Cryptocurrency trading is not much different to Forex trading or working with other assets. The goal is to buy low and sell high. If you work with contracts for differences (CFDs), then you can earn on the price difference. If you are just starting to trade in the financial markets, it is recommended to take one of the educational courses.

Things to consider when trading cryptocurrencies

• Avoid risks, especially if you are a beginner. Monitor trades, be careful and close the trade if the conditions are unfavorable.

• Be patient. Don’t rush into a trade. Wait for clear trading signals and their confirmation. It is better to miss a trade than to rush into it and lose money.

• Learn to work with the order book. An order book with a list of quotes is one of the most important tools, because the success of a trader depends on cryptocurrency quotes.

• Follow the information. The more information you get about a particular asset, the better. Keep track of trading volume, market capitalization, fundamental data, information dynamics.

• Follow the rules of money management. Avoid opening trades for large amounts. Use no more than 10% of your deposit. In this case, you can avoid significant losses in case of a failed transaction.

Cryptocurrency trading has an important feature; it is difficult to trade large orders here. This is due to the fact that traders react to any big trade and can counteract. Therefore, if you plan to trade large volumes, it is better to separate transactions. It is best to divide transactions into several parts. For example, 0.5 BTC each.

Expert opinion

Anton Kharitonov Financial expert and analyst at Traders Union

Crypto brokers are companies that provide clients with access to cryptocurrency trading. Such brokers act as intermediaries between the client and the market. They have certain advantages over cryptocurrency exchanges, primarily in terms of access to other trading instruments. Often, commissions from such brokers are more favorable compared to classic crypto exchanges. This is especially true for ECN accounts.

When choosing, be sure to pay attention to the broker’s commission policy. Not only the size is important, but also the structure. For example, it can be a spread or commission per lot. The choice depends on trading volumes, your strategy and other factors. If you are just starting out in trading, it is important to learn. Make sure the company offers enough learning opportunities. Make sure that you have all the necessary trading tools.
