What is an asset

 An asset in the trading world is a commodity. Assets include money, securities, raw materials, indices and cryptocurrencies. The price of an asset is influenced by the volume of trades made on that asset. The more often the asset is purchased, the higher the price of the asset. If the asset starts to be actively sold, the price drops. The fluctuation in the value of an asset per unit time is called the volatility rate. The main objective of a trader is not to buy a commodity, but to make a profit due to the difference between the purchase price and the selling price. So, you can make money when the asset value goes up and when it goes down. There are 5 main asset types: currency pairs, stocks, indices, commodities, cryptocurrency funds
