Lesson 2: Spot vs Perpetual, Exchanges, Orders | What Every New Trader MUST Know on Day 1

🎓 Lesson 2: Spot vs Perpetual, Exchanges, Orders — What Every New Trader MUST Know on Day 1 (Free Trading Course)

In Lesson 1 we covered why every trader needs a system before placing a single trade. Now you need to understand the execution layer: WHERE you trade, WHAT you trade, and HOW you place your orders. Get this wrong and you can blow up your account on day one — even with a great strategy.

This lesson breaks down the three foundations every new trader has to know cold: spot vs perpetual futures, centralized vs decentralized exchanges, and the order types that actually matter (with a live Bybit demo).

What you'll learn:
• Spot vs Perpetual futures — when to use each
• Why perps exist (leverage, liquidity, flexibility)
• CEX vs DEX — Bybit, Binance, BitMEX, OKX vs Hyperliquid, GMX
• Counter-party risk and why you don't keep all your money on one exchange
• Market orders vs Limit orders (live Bybit walkthrough)
• Maker vs Taker fees — why this saves you 2-3x on every trade
• Stop Market vs Stop Limit (and why you NEVER use stop limits)
• Take profit and trailing stop orders
• Reduce Only — the one checkbox that prevents account blow-ups
• Why every beginner should practice on Bybit's testnet first
