Day 43: Benefits and Drawbacks of Futures Trading

✅ Benefits:

1. Profit in Both Directions
You can earn money whether the price goes up (long) or down (short).

2. Leverage
Trade larger positions with less money. Small capital = bigger potential returns.

3. High Liquidity
Futures markets (like BTC/USDT) are very active — easy to enter and exit trades.

4. Hedging Tool
Protect your spot holdings from losses by taking the opposite position in futures.

5. No Expiry (Perpetual Futures)
Hold your position as long as you want, no deadline.

❌ Drawbacks:

1. High Risk
Leverage increases both profits and losses. You can lose more than your initial margin.

2. Liquidation
If the market goes against you, your position can be auto-closed — and you lose your margin.

3. Complex for Beginners
Futures trading needs strategy, discipline, and emotional control — not ideal for beginners.

4. Fees
Frequent trades and leverage mean higher fees (funding fees, taker fees, etc.).

5. Addictive Behavior
Fast profits can tempt you into overtrading or gambling habits.
