— 3 types of exchanges — Which exchange is better to trade on? — What is better for a beginner to trade on exchanges? — Moscow Exchange — Conclusion

Depending on the type of commodity, exchanges are divided into futures, stock and foreign exchange. And according to the method of conducting, exchange trading can be pit and electronic.

1) Share exchange (stock exchange). This is an exchange where securities - shares are traded. A share is an official certificate of ownership of part of a company. When people believe that a certain company has good prospects, they buy its shares, which pushes prices higher.

Stock quotes and the formation of an opinion about their prospects directly depend on the company’s income level, its reports, and the amount of dividends. The market in this case reflects the sum of the opinions of all participants about the value of a particular company.

A fall in share prices often means that holders of large blocks of shares begin to sell them off. Therefore, as professional stock speculators say, “buying cheap is good, but it’s not good to buy something that is getting cheaper.” A rapid decline or extreme cheapness of shares is a reason to think about the advisability of buying. A potential stock speculator must develop his own system for selecting the most promising stocks, using both technical analysis and economic data about companies.

2) Futures exchange. Futures exchanges are also called commodity exchanges, because they trade quite material things here: grain, metals, oil, meat, etc. When concluding a transaction, a futures contract is fixed, according to which the buyer is ready to purchase a certain amount of goods in the future at a fixed price. At the same time, he makes a certain insurance deposit to the broker (intermediary on the exchange), which is called margin.

Thus, the buyer guarantees the transaction. The seller also contributes the same margin. Each futures contract has its own settlement period: most often it is one, three or four months. During this time, the price can fluctuate significantly, bringing significant profits to buyers or sellers.

Physical delivery of goods now occurs in only 5% of all transactions, and even then, provided that the contract was not concluded for speculation. Futures trades can generate profits much faster than stock trades. But the risks in such operations are much higher, since it is necessary to predict price movements over a limited period of time.

3) Currency exchange The Forex currency market is not, in fact, an exchange, since it does not have centralized management or uniform prices for execution. This is a large market where large banks and dealing centers trade. Therefore, manipulations with quotes are quite common here. But the currency exchange still exists.

For example, the largest Chicago exchange, CME, offers its clients the opportunity to centrally trade the world's largest currencies, while taking advantage of all the guarantees and advantages of exchange trading. Which trading instrument to choose depends on the level of professionalism, start-up capital and risk tolerance of a particular person.

For example, the stock market is the most capital-intensive, but at the same time the least risky if you buy shares for the purpose of long-term investment. In second place in terms of risk is the futures market, since the initial deposit there is much smaller, but the possibility of losing it is much higher due to the use of the so-called “leverage” provided by the broker.

The most risky is the foreign exchange market, since fluctuations in currency quotes, round-the-clock price changes and a high level of leverage increase the probability of losses to 95-97%. The most important thing, when starting stock speculation, remember that you can only invest in stock trading the money that you are willing to lose without reducing your standard of living and that of your loved ones.

How copywriting exchanges work

Schemes of work on content exchanges for performers and customers differ, but there are common advantages of working on the exchange for all users.

How the exchange works from the customer's side

Anyone who wants to order content for their business, website, or social networks just needs to register on the exchange, top up their account in a way convenient for themselves, and formulate a task. The required amount will be blocked in the account, ensuring payment for the created order.

The order form has certain sections, which allows you to draw up a complete technical specification and clearly formulate your wishes for the texts. After placing the task, the customer begins to receive applications from potential performers, he evaluates the responses and can select the best candidate from several. You can provide for automatic acceptance, then the order will be taken by someone who meets the specified criteria: skill level, rating, number of positive reviews, involvement in the customer’s white list, and you will not have to select the author personally.

The text will be submitted by the specified deadline, otherwise the performer will face a fine. If there are no comments, the customer can accept the work; if there are corrections, send it for revision. Only after the text is approved, the money is sent to the performer.

Based on the results of cooperation, the customer can leave a review about the author or add him to his personal white or black list.

How the exchange works for a performer

A copywriter, in search of customers, registers on the exchange, fills out a form and adds examples of his texts to his portfolio.

You need to look through the order feed and select suitable offers. You can sort them by cost, due date, subject. For those tasks that the author is ready to complete, you need to leave responses. If auto-acceptance works, the order will immediately appear in work without the approval of the executor. If the customer wants to personally make a choice, then in the application he will have to describe his competencies and experience in order to increase the likelihood of receiving the order.

As a result, the copywriter collects the required number of orders with clear conditions and deadlines, writes texts in accordance with the technical specifications, and, if necessary, asks questions to the customer in personal messages.

After checking the text, the customer accepts it and the money goes to the performer’s personal account, or sends it for revision, then changes need to be made.

Benefits of exchanges for all users

The exchange is a meeting place for customers and performers; there are many participants on both sides: the customer will be able to choose an author from a variety of performers, and the copywriter will be able to find a suitable order from thousands of proposals.

The exchange acts as an intermediary and guarantor of the transaction - it reserves money for the order so that the customer accurately pays for the finished work, and the contractor does not go missing with an advance payment.

Clear rules of cooperation minimize the risk of conflicts. All controversial situations are resolved with the participation of the exchange administration.

Convenient tracking of the status of all current orders and clear conditions for each task help you not to miss, forget or lose anything.

Rating of exchanges that support fiat

It has already been mentioned that purchasing Bitcoin is not possible on any exchange. To avoid spending money on exchanger services, use a reliable crypto exchange that accepts rubles.

The best exchanges for beginners

A newcomer is the most vulnerable link in the market. Without experience, it is difficult to assess the prospects of coins, create an investment portfolio, if necessary, find the right moment to buy and sell assets. It’s difficult to even understand which exchange to buy Bitcoin on if you’ve never worked with crypto before.

A full understanding of the laws of the market comes only with experience, so it is important to enter the market in comfortable conditions. A beginner will benefit from the protection of the platform from scam coins, which definitely will not bring profit, a responsive and competent support team, a user-friendly interface, and access to news and communication in the professional community. Here are five platforms that can provide this:

1. PrimeXBT - The best exchange in Russian.
2. BINANCE is one of the world's largest exchanges.
3. KuCoin is a reliable exchange that is more user-friendly than most.
4. HitBTC is a growing UK platform. It takes a long time to deposit and withdraw money (up to 14 and 20 days, respectively), requires full verification to work with fiat, but does not provide a big difference between the rates of sellers and buyers. And simplifies trading thanks to bots.
5. EXMO is the main exchange for traders from Russia and the CIS. Reliable, simple, works with fiat and convenient payment systems.
6. Poloniex is one of the first crypto exchanges, which is still chosen by many traders. Convenient, reliable and with a good rate.

The best exchanges for working in Russia and the CIS

Many exchanges are not international, and some simply do not allow Russian users to undergo verification: they do not support regional mobile operators. Some change the policy so that a deposit of $10,000 is required to start trading. It is useful to know which exchanges are more convenient to work on from your country - with support for familiar payment systems, a Russified interface and a rate adapted to local currencies. There are three most popular exchanges: EXMO, LiveCoin and Yobit. Basic information about them is above in the article. Crex24 is also confidently entering the arena of European exchanges - they also have convenient trading conditions and the ability to work with fiat. The platform targets European users. All except Yobit, with the withdrawal of rubles, support fiat.
