Frequently Asked Questions

Volatility refers to the degree of price fluctuation in cryptocurrency markets. High volatility means prices change rapidly and significantly, creating trading opportunities. Volatility is measured as a percentage change over a specific time period.

LiveVolatile monitors real-time price feeds from Binance using WebSocket connections for both Spot and Futures markets. We calculate percentage changes, identify coins exceeding your volatility threshold, and display them sorted by volatility ranking.

Spot trading is buying/selling actual cryptocurrency. Futures trading involves contracts that speculate on future prices with leverage. Spot is simpler but less leveraged, while Futures offers higher potential returns but greater risk.

This varies by exchange. Most allow small amounts ($10-100), but we recommend starting with at least $1,000 to properly apply position sizing and risk management principles.

Leverage amplifies both profits and losses. Beginners should avoid leverage or use minimal amounts (2-5x). Always use stop losses when using leverage. Most experienced traders use 1-3x leverage for volatile trading.

Use stop losses, proper position sizing (1-2% of account per trade), diversification across multiple coins, and set daily/weekly loss limits. Never risk more than you can afford to lose on a single trade.

Volatility increases during major market events, exchange releases, and during overlapping trading sessions (US and Asia). Avoid low-volume periods when spreads are wider.
