Here’s a breakdown of Spot vs Futures Trading Strategies under the hashtag #SpotVSFuturesStrategy to help you understand the key differences and when to use each:

⚔️ Spot vs Futures Strategy Overview

Spot Trading:

Buy/sell crypto assets instantly at current market prices.

Own the actual asset (e.g., Bitcoin, ETH).

No leverage by default.

Ideal for long-term holding or simple swing trades.

Futures Trading:

Contracts to buy/sell assets at a later date or price.

Use leverage (e.g., 10x, 20x).

Profit from both rising and falling markets.

Ideal for short-term strategies, hedging, or leveraged plays.

🔰 Beginner Strategy (Spot)

HODL Strategy (Buy and Hold):

Buy during dips.

Hold for months/years.

Works best for BTC, ETH, top altcoins.

Example: Buy BTC at $50K, sell at $90K.

⚡ Intermediate Strategy (Futures)

Trend Following with Leverage:

Identify trend direction (use indicators like MA, RSI).

Open long (uptrend) or short (downtrend) positions.

Use 3x-10x leverage cautiously.

Set tight stop-losses to manage risk.
