#TradingTypes101

My Personal Experience with Spot, Margin & Futures

Honestly, when I got into crypto, all the trading types felt confusing at first. Over time though, I’ve figured out what works for me — and maybe it’ll help someone else out there too.

🟢 Spot Trading is where I started. It’s simple — just buy and sell coins directly. No leverage, no borrowing. You actually hold the crypto. This gave me time to learn the market without stressing too much about big risks.

🟠 Then I gave Margin Trading a shot. You basically borrow money to trade more than you have. It felt powerful at first, but I quickly realized it’s a double-edged sword. With more reward comes more risk. You really need to know what you're doing before jumping into it.

🔴 Lastly, there’s Futures Trading. You’re not buying the coin itself — you’re betting on where the price will go. Up or down. It’s super useful for short-term plays or when the market’s moving fast, but it can get complicated real quick.

✅ If I had to sum it up: Spot is safe, Margin is risky but rewarding, and Futures is for when you're confident and strategic. I personally still stick to Spot most of the time, and only use the others when I’ve done solid research and feel sure about the market move.
