#SpotVSFuturesStrategy
The Spot vs Futures comparison defines two fundamental approaches:
Spot: direct purchase, without leverage, with ownership of the asset and suitable for long-term investment and lower complexity.
Futures: contracts (traditional or perpetual) offer leverage, greater liquidity, and tactical resources such as hedging, spreads, and arbitrage.
Advantages of futures: leverage, predictable costs, and high liquidity; risks: complexity, margins, and potential volatility with automatic liquidations.
In summary, spot is effective for calm and understandable strategies, while futures serve active traders with advanced risk management.
