#SpotVSFuturesStrategy

Spot and futures trading demand distinct approaches.

In Spot Trading, my strategy is primarily long-term accumulation and swing trading. I focus on fundamentally strong projects with clear use cases. Risk management involves sensible position sizing (ee.g., 2-5% of portfolio per asset) and using stop-loss orders to protect capital from significant dips, but I'm prepared to HODL through volatility if the long-term thesis remains intact. I prioritize direct ownership.

For Futures Trading, my strategy shifts to short-term momentum and trend following, often employing scalping or intraday swing trades. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses, so risk management is far more aggressive. I typically risk less than 0.5-1% of my trading capital per trade, using much tighter stop-losses. Position sizing is calculated meticulously, considering the chosen leverage and the maximum acceptable loss per trade. I avoid holding futures positions overnight due to increased risk and funding rates. Discipline is paramount to prevent emotional over-trading.
