What Is Spot TradinG?👇

Spot trading is the purchase or sale of a financial instrument (like stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities, or currencies) for immediate delivery. In simple terms, you buy or sell an asset and the transaction settles "on the spot" — typically within a couple of days, depending on the market.

Key Features of Spot Trading:

Immediate Settlement: You pay for the asset and receive it right away (or within a short settlement period, like T+2 days for stocks).

Market Price: Trades are made at the current market price, known as the spot price.

No Leverage: You use your own money; there's usually no borrowing or margin involved.

Ownership: You gain actual ownership of the asset. For example, in crypto, you own the coins or tokens.

Example:

In crypto spot trading: You use $1,000 to buy Bitcoin at the current price. You now own the actual BTC.

In forex spot trading: You exchange USD for EUR at the current exchange rate, and the currencies are delivered within two business days.
