Spot, Margin, and Futures trading offer distinct approaches to engaging with financial markets.

Spot trading is the most straightforward, involving the immediate purchase or sale of an asset at its current market price. When you spot trade, you directly own the asset, and there's typically no leverage involved. This means your potential losses are limited to your initial investment, making it generally lower risk and suitable for both short-term and long-term strategies. It's often the preferred method for beginners due to its simplicity.

Margin trading introduces leverage by allowing you to borrow funds from a broker to increase your trading position. While you still technically own the underlying asset, it serves as collateral for the loan. This amplification of capital can magnify both potential profits and losses. Margin trading carries significantly higher risk than spot trading, as adverse market movements can lead to "margin calls," requiring additional funds, or even liquidation of your position. Interest is also charged on borrowed funds.
