#TradingTypes101 Understanding these core trading types is key: Spot, Margin, and Futures.
* Spot = Ownership: You buy and hold the actual asset.
* Margin = Leverage: You trade with borrowed money, boosting potential (profit AND loss).
* Futures = Speculation/Hedging: You bet on future prices without holding the asset; ideal for short-term tactics.
> My primary tool is Futures for its flexibility and hedging. But if you're starting out, begin with Spot trading. It's the best way to learn the basics and understand risk.
> ✅ Success hinges on: Knowing your goals, strict risk management, and constant learning.
