#TradingTypes101

When you start trading crypto, you will often encounter three popular types: Spot, Margin, and Futures. Each has its own style, depending on whether you want to 'play it safe' or 'go all in'.

⸻

🔹 Spot Trading

This is the most basic type. You buy/sell coins at the market price and own them outright. This type of trading is simple, safe, and has no borrowing risk. The downside? The profits are not high if the market does not fluctuate much.

⸻

🔸 Spot Margin Trading

Here, you borrow additional funds to trade – for example, you have $100 but trade as if you have $500 (with 5x leverage). It can yield quick profits, but there is also a risk of 'losing your account' if the price moves against you. There are usually additional borrowing fees, and if you're not careful, the collateral can be liquidated.

⸻

🔥 Futures Trading

This is the playground for those who enjoy thrills. You do not buy actual coins but bet on whether the price will go up or down in the future. Leverage can be extremely high – up to 125x is common. Sounds enticing, but it can also 'evaporate' easily if you do not know how to manage risks.

In summary, each form has its own advantages. If you are new, try Spot first for safety. If you want to 'climb the profit ladder', study carefully before diving into Margin or Futures. After all, it's crypto; understand the game before going all-in! 🚀
