✅ Great for beginners
📦 You own the asset directly
⚠️ No leverage — lower risk, lower reward
⚖️ Margin Trading

⏳ Futures Trading
➤ Agree to buy/sell at a future date & price
🧠 No need to hold the asset
🚀 Use leverage to amplify gains
🔥 Popular among advanced traders, but be cautious — price swings can be brutal

• Spot – Long-term investing or low-risk entry
• Margin – Confident in short-term moves with a strategy
• Futures – You’ve done your homework and can manage fast-paced trading
