Here are the main differences between the three trading types:
**Spot Trading**
- You're buying and selling assets using your own cash.
- You get your assets right away.
- There's no borrowing involved.
- Lower risk because you can't lose more than what you put in.
- It's pretty straightforward.
**Margin Trading**
- You can borrow money from the exchange to trade more than you have.
- It involves leverage, like 2x or 5x.
- You’ll owe interest on what you borrow.
- You can make more money but you can also lose a lot more.
- You could lose more than your initial investment.
- You need to provide collateral and keep an eye on your margin.
