#SpotVSFuturesStrategy
In trading, the main difference between spot and futures markets lies in the timing of asset delivery and ownership. In the spot market, the purchase or sale is made with immediate delivery or within a short period, while in the futures market, the transaction is agreed upon now, but delivery and payment occur at a future date.
Spot Market:
Immediate delivery: Assets are bought or sold and delivered almost immediately, or within a very short time frame.
Direct ownership: The buyer acquires ownership of the asset instantly.
Example: Buying shares of a company on the stock exchange and receiving them in your account within a couple of days.
