Spot trading is straightforward you buy and hold the actual asset. It’s great for long-term holders who believe in the coin’s value. But if you're aiming to profit from price swings, futures can be a game-changer. With futures, you can go long or short, use leverage, and hedge your spot positions effectively.
Example: If you hold ETH in spot and expect a short-term dip, short ETH in futures to lock in value. This way, you protect profits and reduce downside risk.
Always manage risk especially with leverage. Start small, learn fast.
