#SpotVSFuturesStrategy

Spot and futures trading really require different approaches to risk management and position sizing.

In spot trading, I buy assets immediately, and the risk is limited to the amount invested. Here it is important to control the position size to avoid losing more than I can afford. To do this, I try to use stop-losses to minimize losses.

In futures trading, everything is different. Here, contracts are traded, which can have leverage. This increases potential profit, but the risk also increases. To minimize risk, I set stricter limits on position size and often review my strategies to account for market volatility. It is also important to monitor margin requirements to avoid liquidation. In both cases, discipline and planning play a key role.
