Setting Up Your KuCoin Mobile App

1. Download the KuCoin app from the official Apple App Store or Google Play Store to ensure authenticity and security.

Navigating the Trading Interface

2. Search for a specific cryptocurrency pair using the search bar, such as BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC.
3. Choose between different order types: limit, market, stop-limit, or OCO (One Cancels the Other) based on your strategy.
4. Use the price chart displayed on the screen to analyze trends; customize timeframes from 1-minute to 1-week intervals.

Executing Trades and Managing Orders
