With new all-time highs for Bitcoin occurring regularly, the crypto industry is experiencing bigger waves of mainstream adoption. As a result, safety and security around crypto trades has never been more important.
So as we kickstart what's sure to be another big year ahead for crypto with epic price movements and more mainstream mania, we want to present to you Quadency's 5 tips for safer crypto trading:
Reputation matters. As adoption increases and new companies join the ecosystem, be sure to DYOR before signing up on any new exchange, platform, or service. Check out their website, social media, team, partners, etc. to learn more about the company or join their communities to connect with other users. At Quadency, one of the many ways we earn trader trust is by working exclusively with industry leaders to offer many of our tools free.
As a general tip, when trading on an exchange through a 3rd party, be sure to limit API permissions, which you can learn more about in our previous article on API trading.
A complex, difficult-to-guess password is of course vital in the world of finance and trading. And in light of recent industry hacks compromising user data, ensure that you're using different passwords for each of your crypto accounts.
Perhaps more important to secure trading is enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) across your accounts. This provides a crucial layer of security for your funds by requiring verification before completing account activities like signing in or withdrawing funds.
While there are several popular 2FA apps including those from Authy and Microsoft, Quadency leverages Google Authenticator due to its robust security and ease of use.

If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Unfortunately 2021's market growh was accompanied by an increase in scammers looking to take advantage of novice traders. Securing your funds can help keep you safe from hackers. But as we've seen in the widespread social media hacks soliciting BTC or ETH deposits, as well as multiple DeFi rugpulls and token sale bot attatcks, scammers are a whole other story.
Crypto scammers use tactics common to other industries, such as phishing emails, impersonating team members, and offering free giveaways - so remember:
As you can see below, scammers will go as far as to impersonate real members of the team...then pretend to help you with false promises before eventually asking you to transfer funds.
Using historical data, a backtest can help you test your strategy without the risk of trading live. Backtests are also helpful to refine and tweak the configuration of your automated trades. Quadency tries to make it even easier for beginners with the Smart Suggest tool to help you access and configure winning strategies.
Last but not least, try to avoid FOMO trading. Fear Of Missing Out reigns strong in crypto, and has only been furthered by Defi's recent growth. So take your risk tolerance into account and don't let your emotions take control of your crypto trades.
One of the many reasons Quadency focuses on automated trading tools is to help investors take emotion out of the equation by letting the bots do all the hard work.
