FAQ
Spot Trading FAQ
What should I read first on this spot trading page?
Start with the broadest workflow article first. It gives you the full order for buy-crypto flows, order types, first-trade checks and post-trade review habits, then you can open a narrower troubleshooting guide only where needed.
Why keep this topic page if single tutorials already exist?
The topic page gives you the sequence, the common failure points and the internal links in one place. The single tutorials are still the detailed execution layer.
Which step usually causes the most friction here?
The most common friction point is slippage, using the wrong order type and placing orders without checking size and price. If you are already blocked, isolate that step first instead of changing multiple things at once.
