#TradingTypes101 TradingTypes101 I’ve been in this game for a few years now and man, I’ve had days where I felt like a genius... and nights where I stared at the screen thinking, “What the hell just happened?”
Here’s my real-deal breakdown of Spot, Margin, and Futures trading,not from a textbook, but from the trenches.
✔️ Spot trading: where it all started
I still remember my first trade.
I bought a little btc on spot. No leverage, no drama. Just bought it, held it. That was it.
No borrowing, no risk of liquidation, if the price dropped, I just waited.
Honestly, Spot felt like the “training wheels” phase. Perfect for getting your feet wet. You own the coin. It’s yours. You can sleep at night.
But I wanted more...
I discovered Margin trading a few months in. I felt unstoppable.
