#TradingTypes101
Hello, crypto legionnaires! 👋 If you want to master the markets, the first step is TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE OPERATING WITH. A knife is not the same as a bazooka. Let me share the keys:
🔄 1. SPOT (Cash): "What you see is what you have"
- What is it? You buy BTC, ETH, SOL... AT THE CURRENT PRICE. And now they are yours! Like buying bread: you pay and take it home.
- Advantage: Simple, safe (nobody can liquidate you 😅), ideal for hodlers and beginners.
- Risk: You only win if the price goes up. "To the moon... or to the ground".
⚖️ 2. MARGIN: "Leverage: your best ally... or executioner"
- What is it? You operate with BORROWED money (Up to 10x or 125x!). Example: With $100 you move $1,000.
- Advantage: You multiply gains (¡$100 → $1,000 in a pump!).
- ⚠️ EXTREME Risk: You lose more than your initial capital. A 10% drop with 10x leverage LIQUIDATES YOUR ACCOUNT!
📅 3. FUTURES: "Betting on the future... literally"
- What is it? You agree to buy/sell an asset ON A FUTURE DATE at a price agreed TODAY.
- Advantage: You can WIN IF IT GOES UP OR IF IT GOES DOWN (longs/shorts), without owning the asset. Hedges against volatility!
- Risk: Wild leverage, expiration dates... and chain liquidations if the market goes crazy!
