    Beginner's Guide to Binance: Start Trading in 5 Minutes

    ByElly Nguyen22/07/2021
    Spot trading within the cryptocurrency market refers to the instantaneous buying and selling of digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Unlike futures contracts, spot transactions execute at the prevailing market price, with the exchange of assets occurring immediately. This direct peer-to-peer exchange grants holders full ownership rights, including the ability to participate in on-chain governance activities, such as staking or voting on protocol upgrades.

    1. Overview of Binance Exchange

    Spot trading platforms like Binance facilitate the direct exchange of fiat currencies for cryptocurrencies, or vice versa. These platforms operate as intermediaries, matching buyers and sellers who post their desired prices for crypto assets. Once a buy or sell order is matched, the exchange executes the trade immediately. Spot markets operate 24/7, allowing users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies at any time, on any day.

    For instance, if you wish to purchase Bitcoin using fiat currency (USD) on the spot market, you would search for the BTC/USD trading pair and place a buy order at your desired price and quantity. Upon successful execution, your Bitcoin will be stored in a spot wallet, where you can hold it until its value appreciates. Alternatively, you can exchange your assets for other altcoins that you believe may increase in value.

    By holding cryptocurrencies on the spot market, you can benefit from capital gains when the value of your holdings increases over time.

    3. Instructions for Trading Tokens on Binance

    The specific trading parameters in the spot trading rules of Binance’s cryptocurrency market, depending on the currency type, include corresponding metrics such as minimum trading volume, minimum price fluctuation, minimum total order value, and maximum market order volume.

    • BNB Market: A trading market based on BNB (Binance Coin).
    • BTC Market: A trading market based on BTC (Bitcoin).
    • ALTS Market: Refers to Altcoins, a market designated for trading alternative cryptocurrencies.
    • FIAT Market: Represents the market for fiat currencies (government-issued money) or those tied to fiat currency trading pairs.

    To initiate a trade on Binance, navigate to the homepage and select [Trade], then choose either [Classic] or [Advanced] mode. Proceed to the AUCTION trading section, input your desired price and quantity for the order, and finalize the transaction by clicking [Buy AUCTION].

    To sell AUCTION, follow the same process with the corresponding [Sell AUCTION] option.

    By default, the platform will utilize a Limit Order. If, however, you wish to execute the trade as swiftly as possible, you may opt for a [Market] Order, allowing the transaction to occur immediately at the current market price.

    For instance, if the AUCTION/BUSD market price is 15.574 but you wish to purchase at a specific price, such as 18.000, you should place a [Limit] Order. Once the market reaches your specified price, your order will be executed.

    The percentage options below the BUSD Amount field indicate the proportion of AUCTION you wish to buy using BUSD. Input the amount and proceed to purchase the cryptocurrency accordingly.

    4. Conclusion

    To buy and sell tokens on the Binance exchange, you must first create an account on the platform and complete the identity verification process. Once your account is verified, you can deposit funds into your Binance wallet and use these funds to purchase tokens through the exchange's trading platform. To sell tokens, you need to select the specific token you wish to sell, specify the quantity and price, and then place a sell order. It is crucial to have a thorough understanding of Binance's rules and regulations, as well as effective risk management strategies, to ensure successful trading activities.
