🔍 Spot vs Futures — two worlds, two approaches in crypto.
Spot trading is simple and reliable: you take a coin and hold it. If you want to hold an asset and participate in growth or staking — spot is for you. No leverage and no risk of forced liquidation of your position.
Futures is a different story: here you can trade both rises and falls, use leverage (10× and higher), and hedge risks. Suitable for those who are ready to engage in active trading, monitor funding, margin, and expiration dates.
⚖️ Advantages/Risks:
Spot: low risk — only your own capital, no forced liquidation.
Futures: the possibility of large profits (and losses); hedging and rapid entries/exits — but margin management and nerves are required.
📈 Simple strategy option:
1. Balance: keep the main part of your capital in spot — if you believe in long-term growth.
2. Add futures with moderate leverage (2–5×) for dedicated short-term ideas.
3. Hedge: if you hold spot-BTC, open a short futures position when there are risks of correction.
