I wrote a post tackling the biggest misconceptions and questions new traders have. 9 Trading FAQs and Answers Here's a short summary: Can trading replace my day job? Yes. Well… maybe. Is trading the same as gambling? No! Trading is not gambling, but it can be used to the same degree. How much money should I start trading with? If you’re learning it’s perfectly acceptable to trade with a smaller amount of money, but as you gain more experience it’s important for it to be worth your while. Does technical analysis work? Not consistently, and not predictably. How is investing different from trading? The investment horizon may be years, but is generally not smaller than a month. Trading is the opposite. How do I get started trading? Before you even make your first trade it’s important for you to understand yourself, and your relationship with risk. Will computers replace traders on Wall Street? Not yet. This is one of the most common questions that we’ve heard asked in the past decade, and it’s not as simple as it seems. Is the stock market random? Not perfectly. How do you know when to buy a stock? Choosing when to buy and when to sell as stock is difficult, and there is no universally accepted method that will guarantee positive results.

Great read. I suggest everyone reading the entire article because it tackles some of the most common problems beginner traders face.

yolivier thanks for the great feedback ! If you guys have any other questions that you want answered next, feel free to leave them here !

Is the underlying asset always Morpher tokens in the trading app? Let's say I want to go long ETH/USD, is that possible? Or is it only possible to trade ETH/Morpher Token?

elias Really cool question, because although you couldn't go long ETH/USD in the traditional sense, if we have the pair (which we do) you would be going long ETH/USD/MPH. Weird right? The whole point of Morpher is that we can virtualize any price action, so you would be trading the price of Ethereum against the U.S. Dollar using Morpher token.

Thanks for the reply Ivan. So, if I go long ETH/USD/MPH on your platform and the ETH/USD price increase 10% and the USD/MPH increase 10% (Morpher lose 10% against the USD). I will end up with a net profit 0%?

9 Frequently Asked Questions About Trading

ivan

To restate FedeForex 's example.

Let's assume 1 MPH = $1.0
You invest 1000 MPH into ETH/USD which goes up 10%.
--> You close your position earning 100 more tokens. Your 1100 MPH is now worth $1100

Now if the price of USDMPH decreases by 10%:
--> Your 1100 MPH is now worth 0.90 x 1100 = $990

On a holistic level you have a net loss of $10.

Now let's consider another scenario that could happen:
You invest 1000 MPH in ETH/USD which falls 10%.
--> Now you have 900 MPH worth $900

You've taken a loss, but if USDMPH increases 10%
--> Your 900 MPH is now worth 900 x 1.10 = $990

FedeForex

Thanks @ivan , although I think that my calculation with the result of $990 was correct.

ivan 0.90 x 1100 = $1000

I think the mistake is here 🙂

ivan Hello, I have a little Question.

If I leverage something with 10x. For example I bet 1000 Tokens. So I move 10k right?

If it goes down I can only lose the 1000 Tokens? Or can I lose more? There isnt any Margin call?

ivan

FedeForex Oops 😅

With a leverage of 10 your 1,000 token position has an exposure of 10,000, that's right. If the underlying asset falls 10% your position will automatically close (since it lost 1,000 token = 10% of 10,000).

This means that you can only ever lose 100% of the position, but a losing leveraged position will not affect the rest of your account.

Community is not support, when you experience issues you should use live chat or email.
XRP was never below the sell price you entered at today, there has yet to be a profit opportunity for you.
Not being able to access your account is something we take very seriously. We're investigating the issue. I'm pretty confident refreshing the page would have loaded the app properly - please feel free to provide more feedback if that wasn't the case.
