#SpotVSFuturesStrategy My hybrid approach combines spot safety with futures efficiency:
**Spot (70% capital)**:
- DCA blue-chips ($BTC, $ETH) weekly
- Stake for yield (ETH: 5.2% APY on Binance)
**Futures (30% capital)**:
- Hedge spot positions with 2x shorts during FOMC
- Isolated margin only (avoid cross-margin liquidation)
- Target 5-8% quarterly gains (not moonshots)
Example: Yesterday used spot $BTC as collateral to short ETH/BTC pair during underperformance. Golden rule: Futures never exceed 30% exposure, and always set stop-loss at 15% below entry.
