Trading is becoming popular day by day and new traders keep finding their way into the trading world as they can generate both active and passive income with it, but they have little to no details regarding the working behind trading and trading platforms.

Trading in itself seems quite difficult doesn’t it? When you think about you feel like there is so much to learn, about cryptocurrencies, different coins, different trading platforms and how they all work together. But it all comes later in the picture.

At first you need some tools and equipment that will help you get started with trading and believe it, it is not complex as it seems.

7 Tools and Equipment You Need

1: Computer with Internet Access

Yes, that’s the simple and the most essential tool you need to start your trading adventure because let’s be honest can you really handle technology without a computer? Well obviously no.

Trading is impossible without internet because all the trading and exchanges happen over the internet connection so it is the basic equipment for trading.

2: Mobile phone

If you don’t have a computer system, then don’t worry. Trading can be done through a mobile phone as well with a good internet connection.

Most of the trading platforms are developed only for mobile users so that can be really helpful for people who don’t have access to a computer or a laptop. Through a smart phone, you can easily buy and sell your stocks.

Moreover, it doesn’t happen very often but it is a possibility that internet can fail at any moment which might result in loss for your trade. So, a mobile phone is must for trading if any emergency arises.

3: Multiple Monitor set for advanced traders

As we have said, you can simply start trading and get to know it briefly through a good computer system, laptop and even a smart phone.

For instance, on one screen you can examine your charts, on second screen you can buy and sell crypto and on third screen you can research or do other stuff.

4: Broker and a Trading Platform

Trading is executed all over the world. However, it might not be available in some countries or states still. You can’t expect to make a trade by going physically to an exchange market. Therefore, you need a broker and a good trading platform that will allow you to make a trade in any part of the world from the comforts of your home.

Also, there are many different trading platforms such as Binance, KUCOIN, FTX, and Kraken etc. that offer different features with security to make the trading smooth for users. Both the broker and the platform will allow you to execute your trade.

The broker will facilitate your trade. But you should keep in mind that many banks provide brokerage services but those are expensive. They have premium packages which can cost a lot. So, it is better if you look for traders that work at low prices at first. Eventually with experience and growth, you will be able to afford a premium package over time.

5: Money or Capital

Trading is dependent on money. If you have enough capital to invest in trading, then you can easily make your trade without second thoughts. With money, you buy a good computer system with high speed internet to make your trade quicker.

Also, with enough money, you can join a good trading platform and hire a broker that will make deals for you. We don’t want to scare you but there will be some losses along the way. However, with a good broker and trading platform, we hope that will be manageable and less.

6: Charting Software

Another important tool is the charting software. For trading, you need to have a charting software to monitor your trade, follow your old trades and then predict new trades.

There are different charting software available and your broker will also suggest you good charting software to help you with trading.

Also, two types of charts are used widely; like tick charts and timed charts. You can figure out which one works for you the best by using them.

7: Understanding the market
