#SpotVSFuturesStrategy *#SpotVSFuturesStrategy* compares two major crypto trading approaches: *Spot trading* (buy/sell real assets) vs *Futures trading* (contracts based on price speculation).

⚔️ Key Differences:

| Aspect | Spot Trading | Futures Trading |

|------------------|-------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|

| Asset Ownership | You own the actual crypto | No ownership—just price contracts |

| Leverage | No or low leverage | High leverage (e.g., 10x–100x) |

| Risk Level | Lower (no liquidation) | Higher (liquidation risk) |

| Strategy Horizon | Mid-to-long-term (HODLing, DCA) | Short-term (scalping, swing, hedge) |

| Costs | Trading fees only | Fees + funding rates + risk of loss |

✅ Spot Strategy Examples:

- *DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)*

- *Buy & Hold*

- *Swing trades on major support/resistance*

⚡ Futures Strategy Examples:

- *Scalping intraday moves*

- *Hedging spot exposure*

- *Taking advantage of volatility with leverage*

Which to Choose?

- Use *spot* if you're risk-averse or investing long-term.

- Use *futures* if you're experienced, want leverage, or need to hedge.
