There are a large number of cryptocurrency exchanges available and knowing their operation, advantages and disadvantages, features and restrictions is essential before starting to use them. Today we are going to talk about HitBTC one of the best known cryptocurrency exchanges in the sector.
HitBTC
The HitBTC cryptocurrency exchange was founded in 2013, and offers an extensive list of cryptocurrencies for trading. There are more than 300 pairs available on the platform today.
Among the pairs that HitBTC includes we can highlight Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], EOS, Ripple [XRP], DAI, TUSD or Bitcoin Cash [BCH].
This large number of options to invest, can have its positive side and its negative side.
The positive, of course, is the possibility of trading with a large amount of cryptocurrencies without having to leave the exchange to find the desired pair.
The negative point is that of the more than 300 available pairs, many find themselves with very little transaction volume and with projects that are “unreliable” or non-existent.
These coins are usually used to make Pump / Dump generating losses of money in the most inexperienced traders.
That is why you only have to invest in projects that you are informed to avoid falling into this type of “traps”.

HitBTC Trading
To trade you must go to the Exchange tab as explained above, once on the platform you will see the following:
We will divide the screen into different sections and explain them one by one so that there are no doubts about what it is and what each section is for.
- Price chart: Here you will see a chart that shows the evolution of the price of the cryptocurrency that you have selected to trade.
- Instruments: List of available pairs in HitBTC to trade, if you want to choose a cryptocurrency to exchange it, this is the place to select it.
- Buy/Sell: As the name implies, this is the section for buying and selling cryptocurrencies.
- TrollBox: Chat box where users talk about trading. You have to be careful and ignore everything they say, as they often use this box to warn that a cryptocurrency is rising a lot and that the unsuspecting fall into the trap of a Pump & Dump.
- In that box you can see the list of last purchases (in green) and sales (in red), on the right there is a graph that shows the purchase and sale orders of the desired cryptocurrency.
- List of open orders: If you have placed any purchase or sale order it will appear in that box until it is completed, from it you can cancel the order before it is executed.
- Order Book: Order book where you can see the prices at which users sell and buy cryptocurrencies, understanding this part is very important when trading.
This box is divided into two parts, purchases (green) and sales (red). Sales are ordered from highest to lowest (from top to bottom) and purchases are sorted from lowest to lowest (from top to bottom).
So that at the top we see the orders of the users who buy more expensive and the orders of the users who sell cheaper.
Knowing this data and according to our needs we can buy at the price set by the market or place a lower sales order pending a price drop.
