#TradingStrategyMistakes ✅ 1. Ownership

• Spot Trading: You own the actual crypto asset. If you buy 1 BTC, it’s yours.

• Futures Trading: You don’t own the crypto. You’re trading a contract that tracks its price.

⸻

✅ 2. Leverage (Borrowed Funds)

• Spot: No leverage (1x only).

• Futures: Leverage up to 125x (you can trade with more than you own, high risk & reward).

⸻

✅ 3. Risk Level

• Spot: Lower risk — your loss is limited to your investment.

• Futures: High risk — can result in liquidation (losing everything) if the market moves against you.
