#TradingTypes101 – Spot vs Futures Trading 📊🔥

New to crypto or stock trading? Let's break down two of the most common types of trades:

🔹 Spot Trading

This is the buy now, own now method. You buy an asset at the current market price and it’s immediately added to your wallet or account. It’s simple, straightforward, and great for long-term investors.

✔️ You own the actual asset

✔️ No expiration

✔️ Lower risk (but slower gains)

🔸 Futures Trading

You're betting on price movement — without owning the asset. Futures allow you to speculate whether an asset’s price will go up or down, often using leverage.

✔️ Potential for higher profits

✔️ Can profit in both rising and falling markets

⚠️ Higher risk due to leverage
