⚔️ Spot vs Futures: Which Strategy Wins Long-Term?
When I started trading, I jumped into futures for the thrill—high leverage, quick gains… and painful losses. Then I stepped back and explored spot trading, focusing on long-term growth.
Spot trading taught me patience and portfolio building, especially with BTC and ETH. No liquidation risks, no overnight stress. But futures trading, when used with strict risk management, helped me capitalize on short-term market moves and hedge during corrections.
Now, I use both: spot for accumulation, futures for active trades. It’s not either-or—it’s about balance, goals, and discipline.
What’s your take?
