#SpotVSFuturesStrategy | My Simple Approach to Spot vs. Futures Trading

As someone still learning, I’ve found that spot trading gives me a much safer and more comfortable way to grow. I buy coins like $BTC and $ETH and hold them until I see a price I’m happy with. There’s no expiration date, no risk of liquidation — just simple buy-and-sell decisions based on market dips and trends.

Futures trading is a whole different game. It moves fast, and while it offers bigger potential gains through leverage, it also comes with much higher risk. I’ve done some demo trades to understand it better, but for now, I stay cautious.

My strategy is simple: I use spot for learning, long-term investing, and building confidence. I’m slowly preparing to use futures with better risk management in the future.


Both tools have value — the key is knowing when to use each, and how much risk you're ready to take.
