#SpotVSFuturesStrategy Understanding the difference between spot and futures trading is crucial for any crypto trader. My #SpotVSFuturesStrategy is about balancing risk and flexibility. When I trade spot, I actually own the coins — I buy and hold, there’s no liquidation risk, and I can hold as long as I want. Spot trading fits my long-term positions and staking strategies.

On the other hand, futures trading lets me profit from both rising and falling markets by going long or short with leverage. But leverage is a double-edged sword — it amplifies gains and losses. My rule is to use futures only with strict stop-losses and a clear plan, never risking too much capital.

By combining spot for stability and futures for tactical trades, I get the best of both worlds. The key is knowing when to switch between them — and always respecting my risk limits.
