Spot vs Futures Strategy

✅ Spot Trading:

• Definition: Buy or sell crypto immediately at current market prices.

• Use Case: Simple buying to hold (HODL) or selling assets.

• Strategy Focus:

• Accumulation during dips (buy low, hold long-term).

• No leverage—less risk of liquidation.

• Profits only if price goes up after buying.

✅ Futures Trading:

• Definition: Trade contracts that bet on future prices (long or short), often with leverage (e.g., 5x, 10x).

• Use Case: Speculating on price moves, hedging spot holdings.

• Strategy Focus:

• Long futures: Profit if price rises.

• Short futures: Profit if price falls.

• Hedging: Lock in profits or protect against downside risk.

• High risk: Leverage magnifies gains and losses; risk of liquidation.

✅ Combining Strategies:

Many traders hold spot positions long-term and use futures short positions to hedge during volatile periods.

TL;DR:

• Spot: Simpler, for owning real coins.

• Futures: Advanced, for speculation or hedging with leverage.

• Strategy choice: Depends on risk tolerance and trading goals.
