Spot vs. Futures Strategy on Binance

For beginners, spot trading is generally recommended. You buy the actual cryptocurrency, offering direct ownership and simpler mechanics. It's ideal for long-term holding and less prone to sudden liquidations. A simple spot strategy is Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), regularly buying a fixed amount to average out price fluctuations.

Futures trading, conversely, involves contracts and leverage, amplifying both potential gains and losses. It allows speculating on price movements without owning the asset and offers short-selling. Experienced traders use futures for hedging or profiting from short-term volatility. Strategies include trend following with leverage, or arbitrage between spot and futures prices. Remember, higher leverage equals higher risk.
