I might not be a good trader, but profits in spot trading is very slow compare to futures trading. I mean if you really want to generate a "DAILY" income from trading then trading in futures is the way because you always have a chance to earn even higher than $100 as long as you have the money, you have the knowledge, and you have the courage because yes profits there are very easy especially if you did a good entry, but your chances of losing there is way higher than the spot market, and you might get liquidated easily by just entering at a wrong time, and not having a stop-loss.
Overall, that's achievable if you have the money, and the knowledge. If you want to go trade solely on spot then you need huge amount of money to achieve that daily profits. Good luck OP .
You are right that the rate of profit in spot trading is very low compared to futures trading. Even a small amount of money can earn good profits in futures trading. It is not difficult to earn $100 a day in futures trading, but on the other hand, one wrong trade-up can lose all the capital. Future trading does not only require money, it also requires a lot of experience and knowledge. Therefore, futures trading should not be taken lightly. I personally prefer spot trading over futures trading. Here capital is more secure as compared to futures trading. In spot trading there is room for error correction, whereas in futures trading there is no room for error. However, in spot trading, a good amount of money will be needed to earn a $100 on a daily basis.Entry timing is also very important in spot trading, a good entry can give a good profit.
