How to Trade on a Crypto Exchange

À retenir

→Spot = you own the asset. Perpetual futures = a contract on the price, with leverage and the ability to go short.
→CEX (Bybit, Binance) gives liquidity and ease. DEX (Hyperliquid, GMX) gives self-custody. Spread your funds -- never trust one exchange with everything.
→Always use stop MARKET orders, never stop limit. Always tick Reduce Only on your stops. These two habits prevent most account blow-ups.
→Practice on a testnet before risking real money. Bybit gives you $100K of fake capital to learn the interface risk-free.
