My Take on Trading Traditional Markets Today

TradFi is all about trading traditional markets like Forex, commodities, metals and indices, where price movements are driven by macroeconomic events, interest rates, and global data rather than hype or narratives. I have been trading these markets for a while, and recently I tried Bitget after noticing their transition into UEX, where you can trade all these assets alongside crypto.

What stood out immediately were the tighter spreads, faster execution, and high leverage options, which make a noticeable difference when managing positions in volatile markets. Using USDT as margin simplified things even further, no constant currency conversions or multiple accounts.

The biggest takeaway for me was around fees. After calculating how much I have lost over the years with traditional brokers, seeing a platform with lower, transparent costs really made me rethink my approach. Leverage also feels like a professional tool rather than hype, use it responsibly, and it’s about risk management and capital efficiency, not chasing bigger positions.

For anyone experienced in traditional markets, exploring platforms like this shows how trading familiar assets can be faster, simpler, and more cost-efficient while still using the same core principles.
