The spot and contract strategy of #现货与合约策略 is an advanced strategy that combines the advantages of two trading tools to achieve hedging or arbitrage. Spot trading represents the buying and selling of actual assets, suitable for long-term holding or low-risk positioning; while contract trading (such as perpetual contracts and futures) allows for two-way operations and leverage, making it suitable for short-term speculation and risk hedging. Common strategies include:
Spot hedging contract short position: When holding a large amount of spot but expecting a short-term decline, use contracts to short and hedge the risk.
Funding rate arbitrage: When the funding rate is high, go long on the spot and short the contract to earn positive funding rate income.

This strategy requires high risk control, necessitating precise direction judgment and leverage control, making it a commonly used stable profit method for advanced traders.
