Spot trading and futures trading require entirely different mindsets. Spot trading is straightforward—buy and hold the asset. It’s perfect for long-term believers. Futures trading, on the other hand, involves contracts and leverage, which opens the door to higher profits but also greater risks. In my experience, I use spot for accumulation of solid coins like $BTC and $ETH, while I trade futures to capture short-term volatility. A good strategy is knowing when to switch. If the market is too volatile, I scale back my futures exposure and focus on spot safety. Balance is key.
