#TradingTypes101
Since the day I entered the world of crypto, I heard a lot about types of trading: Spot, Margin, and Futures. At first, I felt that the subject was big and complicated, but over time and experience, the picture became clearer. Spot trading was my entry point; it feels safe and simple. You buy the currency and keep an eye on it, there are no complications or high risks, it's very suitable for any beginner. After a while, I started to explore margin trading, and here the situation is completely different. You can trade with an amount larger than what you own through leverage, meaning you earn more but at the same time, you can lose faster. Honestly, my first experience was a loss, but I learned how to manage risks and not enter any trade without studying it well. As for futures, this is the professional game; you can open positions whether the market is going up or down, but it requires speed, focus, and precise analysis. I've used it a few times, mostly for quick speculation. For me, I use spot trading the most because it serves me in long-term investment and doesn't stress me out psychologically like the other types. My advice to anyone just entering the field: Don't rush, start with spot trading, make sure you understand before you try margin or futures because profit is there, but loss can come quicker if you're not prepared. The most important thing is not to gamble with your entire capital, and have a plan and a backup plan.
