#SpotVSFuturesStrategy Trading in the Spot market (cash) is the most direct way to buy and sell assets, where you acquire real ownership of the cryptocurrency immediately at the current price. It is ideal for long-term investment (HODL) or for those who wish to use the asset directly. The risk is limited to the amount invested; if the price falls, your investment decreases in value, but you cannot lose more than what you put in, nor be liquidated for debt.

In contrast, trading in Futures involves trading contracts that derive their value from an underlying asset, without acquiring real ownership. Its main feature is leverage, which allows you to control much larger positions with a reduced initial capital (margin), exponentially amplifying both gains and losses. Futures also allow you to "short" and benefit from falling prices. However, its greatest risk is forced liquidation: if the price moves significantly against you, the broker automatically closes your position and you can lose all the margin invested or even the total capital of your account if you use cross margin.

For beginners, the Spot market is safer and more advisable, while futures require a deep understanding of risk management and are recommended to be used with low leverage and in isolated margin mode.
