Mastering the Basics Before the Big Leagues

Understanding the different types of crypto trading is key to long-term success.

🔹 Spot Trading: Simple buy and sell. You own the asset. Great for beginners. Less risk, no leverage.

🔹 Margin Trading: Borrow funds to increase your buying power. Gains (and losses) are amplified. Best for experienced traders who understand risk and have a solid exit strategy.

🔹 Futures Trading: You're not buying the asset—just speculating on its price. High leverage, high risk, high reward. Ideal for short-term strategies and market-neutral approaches like hedging.

✅ I started with Spot to understand market behavior. ✅ I now use Futures more often for quick trades with proper risk management tools.

💡 Tip for beginners: Learn Spot first. Don’t rush into leverage. Master psychology and risk control before moving to Margin or Futures.

Trading isn’t just about profits—it’s about discipline, strategy, and survival.
