#SpotVSFuturesStrategy The most obvious difference are the leverages. In spot you don't have them , so how much you trade is calculated by the market price at the moment and you can't lose more then you have bargained for. In spot 1$ is 1$ , while in futures er have another story. In futures 1$USDT can be worth 20$, dur to the use of leverages , so you can gain much more but also lose much more than you intendet to. Also In futures you can trade in two directions - long ( like betting that the coin will go up) ,or short ( trading that the coin will go down,,)
