Trading basics

Order types, market structure and how to place your first trade responsibly.

Trading crypto shares vocabulary with equities but has meaningful differences: 24/7 markets, higher volatility, fragmented liquidity and diverse venue types. This guide walks through the fundamentals.

Order types

Market orders prioritise speed of execution over price certainty. Limit orders do the opposite. Stop-market and stop-limit orders combine the two to enforce discipline.

On Nexone each order type has a short in-app explainer.

Spread and slippage

The spread is the gap between the best bid and best ask. Slippage is the difference between the price you expected and the price you got.

Both widen in thin markets and during volatile events.

Maker vs taker fees

Makers add liquidity to the book by resting limit orders; takers remove liquidity by crossing the spread. Most venues, including Nexone, charge takers more than makers.

Sizing and risk

Never risk more per trade than you can lose without changing your daily life. A common rule of thumb: cap risk per position at 1–2% of trading capital.

Position sizing is more important than picking the right coin.

Journaling

Every trade should have a thesis, an invalidation level and a size. Review weekly. Traders who journal outperform those who don't — regardless of strategy.

Common mistakes

Overtrading, revenge trades after a loss, no stop-loss discipline, using leverage before mastering spot — all avoidable with rules written down in advance.

Frequently asked questions

What order type should I start with?
Limit orders. They force you to think about price before you buy or sell.
How much should I risk per trade?
Most educators suggest 1–2% of trading capital per trade. Adjust down while learning.
Is leverage a good idea?
Not for beginners. Nexone requires an explicit acknowledgement before enabling leverage products.
How do I know when to sell?
Define exits (both profit target and stop-loss) before entering. Emotion is a poor decision-maker mid-trade.
Where do I see fees before executing?
Fees are shown on every order ticket. See the full schedule on the Fees page.
Does Nexone offer paper trading?
Not yet. Start with small size in the real market to learn realistic execution.

How trading basics works on Nexone

Every trading basics action flows through the same triple-checked pipeline: pre-trade risk, live execution, and post-trade reconciliation into a full double-entry ledger.

That means every balance shown in your account can be traced back to the exact movement — deposit, order, withdrawal or fee — that produced it, with cryptographic evidence retained for years.

You never have to trust a number on a screen. You can prove it.

Aggregated liquidity from our internal book and vetted external venues keeps trading basics spreads tight even in volatile markets.

Data you can trust

Every price, balance and trading basics action is auditable to the millisecond in your account history.

Built on standards

Our trading basics stack aligns with recognised international frameworks: FATF travel rule, MiCA-aligned disclosures, SOC-style access controls, and ISO 27001 aligned security operations.

We combine these standards with an in-house risk engine trained on years of real trading basics flow across dozens of asset classes.

Compliance by design

KYC, AML, sanctions screening and travel-rule messaging are embedded into every trading basics touchpoint — not bolted on.

Battle-tested infrastructure

Multi-region active-active infrastructure with independent failover keeps trading basics online through outages and demand spikes.

Roadmap you can follow

Public changelogs and quarterly product notes so you always know what is next for trading basics on Nexone.
