Cryptos Trading

Hi everybody and welcome to this article for getting started with trading online and cryptocurrencies. The idea behind is to create a series of articles where we start from scratch not knowing anything about trading and cryptocurrencies and we build our knowledge step by step adding always new layers on top of each other to arrive at the end with a Crypto Trading Bot that will do the job for us!

Here below a quick preview of how the Plotly graph will look: in the first image we can see all the data available, and in the second image we are zooming in a specific timeframe having and visualizing more detailed information.

Bitcoin Candlestick Graph (Plotly) — All Data
Bitcoin Candlestick Graph (Plotly) — Details for small data (interactivity)
