When I first dove into crypto trading, I stuck with spot trading—buying and selling actual crypto assets like $BTC , $ETH and $BNB . It’s straightforward: you own what you buy.

But as I got more confident, I started exploring margin trading, which allows me to borrow funds to increase my position size. With isolated and cross margin options, I learned quickly that while the rewards can be higher, so can the risks—especially during volatile swings.

Lately, I’ve been testing out futures trading on Binance. Unlike spot, I only speculating on its price, long or short. With up to 125x leverage available, it's tempting, but I personally never go beyond 10–20x. Futures require precise risk management; one wrong move and liquidation hits fast.

Each product has its place. Spot is great for holding, margin helps during strong trends, and futures are perfect for hedging or short-term plays.
