#SpotVSFuturesStrategy Spot market trading and futures contracts What is my strategy
Spot market trading involves holding and long-term certainty
I mainly use the spot market for swing trading accumulation and building positions during downturns
My risk tolerance here is higher and I never use leverage
I focus on fundamentals, macroeconomic sentiment, and trend reversals
In contrast, trading futures contracts is my choice for short-term plays on volatility with specific entries, rigorous stop-losses, and position size based on risk per trade, typically 1 to 2 percent of capital
I often use leverage of 5x to 10x only in confirmed trends or news-driven momentum
Futures contracts require discipline, strict risk control, and lack of emotions
