The best bid is 99U and the best ask is 100U—what is the 1U difference?
This 1U is called the bid-ask spread, also often called the spread. The best bid is the highest current buy order price, and the best ask is the lowest current sell order price.
Suppose you buy at 100U and then immediately sell at 99U. Even if the quoted prices haven't changed, you'll incur a loss from the price difference, and there may also be fees.
The actual execution also depends on the order quantities, so the entire order may not necessarily be filled at the best price.
When you're new to reading the order book, it'

Why Is Not Trading Sometimes the Better Trading Decision?
In the crypto market, many people open their trading apps every day hoping to find an opportunity worth taking. When they see prices rising, they worry about missing out; when they see prices falling, they want to buy the dip. Even without a clear signal, they always feel compelled to do something.
But there’s a fact that’s often overlooked in trading: the market moves every day, but that doesn’t mean there are worthwhile opportunities to take on risk every day.
First, price movements are not the same as trading opportunities.
A price r

All bearish candles. Following up on my last post, with this bearish close, I won’t go long near 30 for now—it’s not safe,

It feels like some kind of curse...

$ZEC Current price: 1328.33, up 8.57% over 24H. Both 1H and 4H are bullish (RSI 73/75), with EMA20 at 1294/1257. 1H resistance is 1330.95 and support is 1212.49. Holding above resistance could lead to a push to new highs; breaking below support puts the 4H support at 1118.55 in focus. In the review, watch for a false breakout above 1330.95 or whether price can reclaim 1212.49 after losing it. Current volume is only 0.32x, so beware of false breaks. Market volatility is high; for observation only.

Can Arbitrage Trading Lose Money? The Real Risks Often Lie Beyond the Spread
Many people believe that arbitrage trading involves holding mutually hedged positions, and that simply waiting for prices to converge will generate relatively stable returns.
But arbitrage in the real world is not always so simple. Even when the trade directions appear to be hedged, capital commitment, margin requirements, trade execution, and platform risks can still cause an otherwise reasonable strategy to lose money.
First, hedging does not mean there is no risk.
For example, buying spot and selling futures can re

When it falls, it’s a cyclical stock; when it rises, it’s a little cutie😅I don’t know whether the definition of a cyclical stock is based on the share price or supply and demand. It seems to be based on the share price, since supply and demand don’t seem to have changed at all—if anything, things have only gotten worse🤣
