Choosing between Spot and Futures on Binance depends on your goals and risk tolerance.
Spot Trading:
Direct Ownership: You buy and own the actual crypto.
Lower Risk: No liquidation risk (unless you use margin). Best for beginners and long-term holding.
Simplicity: Straightforward "buy low, sell high."
Futures Trading:
Contracts: You trade contracts speculating on price, not the actual asset.
Leverage: Amplify gains (and losses!) with borrowed funds (e.g., 5x, 10x, up to 125x).
Higher Risk: High liquidation potential. Suited for experienced traders.
Both Directions: Profit from rising (long) or falling (short) markets.
Recommendation: If you're new or prefer less risk, start with Spot to understand market basics. For experienced traders seeking magnified returns or hedging, Futures offers advanced tools but demands rigorous risk management (stop-losses are crucial!). Always use the Binance Testnet for practice before real funds!
