#交易类型入门 The three types of trading methods in cryptocurrency trading—spot, leverage, and contract—have essential differences in asset ownership, sources of leverage, settlement mechanisms, and risk structures.

1. Spot Trading

- Core Logic: Instant buying and selling of actual assets

- Leverage and Risk:

- Leverage Multiple: 1x (no leverage)

- Maximum Loss: Principal goes to zero (when the currency price drops to 0)

- Typical Scenario:

> Use 1000 USDT to buy 0.025 BTC, if BTC rises to 45,000 USDT, profit 125 USDT (25% increase).

2. Leverage Trading

- Core Logic: Mortgage lending of spot to amplify principal

- Leverage and Risk:

- Leverage Multiple: 2-100x (platform sets the upper limit)

- Forced Liquidation Mechanism: When the value of the mortgaged asset ≤ borrowed principal + interest, automatic liquidation is triggered.

- Maximum Loss: May exceed principal
