There is a little difference between spot and future trading, as the names suggest; spot trading pays quickly, whilst future trading takes time. People believe that because they have implemented all of the necessary trading methods and plans, we will benefit in the future. However, keep in mind that plans and planning evolve with time. In addition, the market is extremely uncertain. So, in both future and spot trading, work hard and don't become discouraged.

I believe it is just the opposite. Futures trading is something quick, you leverage your stance and then you take away whatever you can very quickly and you get out, if you wait too long then you are going to lose all of your money, that's how it works. Spot on the other hand is something you will never get liquidated which means that you could literally make as much money as you can while waiting as long as you have to.

I mean sure you could wait with futures as well if you want to but it would be very risky and you will not be profiting with it if the price suddenly goes down, whereas in spot trading it could go down a lot but you will at least have time to wait for it to go back up and that waiting period makes it longer time then futures.

One of the things that they do really differ is on that leverage side because it might really look that fast but its just the same imho.The thing here is that you do really deal with fast pace kind of decision because you could really be easily be liquidated with future or leverage trading which your capital could easily blown up if you dont able to cut loss whenever the price is going opposite on what you had predicted.

Choose on what you do like because some do love Futures and majority is been sticking with Spot because it is somewhat less risky basing on experience.

As long you do make profits then that what matter most and its a personal choice because not all would really be that risk takers.

I have experienced that future trading is highly risky I have personally lose much money so i won't recommend you to go for future trading if you are at beginner level but if you have some experience in trading then you can go but never use high leverage.

You can try copytrade if you didnt know where you are, but it will cost payment to copytrade, for me thats okay since not too expensive to pay it.
With copytrade, you can learn how to make a good analyse, and thats is the point, you can be analisator one day and maybe you can sell your copytrade to the other and make money from that. Just my opinion.

What is better and which one would you guys prefer. I have been doing spot trading but i haven't made much money, so i was kind of making up my mind to jump in future trading but a lot of my friends are asking me not to as they think that i can loose big. So what you experienced traders prefer?

Interesting question.

But what I think is most interesting is why you have not made much money from spot-trading. Playing with more risk using future trading is not going to help you if what you lack is fundamental skills. What I recommend you do is go back and find the pattern that did not allow you to come out with the profit you wanted and start from there...

Since he isn't very fruitful in spot, he has higher rate of losing more in futures. But its always different for each person who could translate the charts. If he prefers to go with the trend when trading, he might be able to adjust the risk too. Obviously, when a trend is upwards then betting for the bullish market makes you win.

Its hard for me not to think of rigged markdt when in just an hour or two 100-200B funds comes in and out in crypto market and BTC price movement change up and down very quickly. Hard for me to believe exchanges not playing a role to go against your futures position.

I did try both spot and futures trading (even copy trading too). In my own experience, futures trading is much more riskier than spot trading to be honest. I’ve lost more money in futures trading than in spot and copy trading combined. This kind of trading is only for those who do not let their emotions conquer them and just treat their deposit as “dead money” no matter the outcome.

I have stopped trading futures because for me this is a high risk and I have lost more from futures trading so for more than a month I temporarily stopped doing it and focused more on the spot which is now more profitable even though it's a bit longer but I'm happy as long as profit in spot trading I will focus more on it.

But that's how his skills even futures trading are now widely enjoyed because they know more skills are needed in this case, so maybe it's a little unqualified from me so I have to retrain.

To me Spot Trading has limited or no risk attached. Spot Trading is just like buying a coin then leaving it to appreciate more and then sell it to acquire interest. It is a safe way of trading and one can make a lots of money from it if they are trading with large funds. It has no leverage in it which makes it to be less risky. You only trade with what you have.

Future Trading has much risks attached to it cause your entire capital can be gone in a twinkling of an eye. It is a leverage kind of trading that requires increasing one's capital with leverage bringing more profits if one is good in it. The same way it came help one to make large profits, the same way one can lose it entire funds.

Your friends are correct with regards to the risk of losing money, but if you are confident enough and know how it works already then you can try future trading even at least at a small capital, and then by that you can learn from the result of it. At first, I'm losing money at future trading but the moment I understand it and the moment I know how to take advantage the market, I started to make money more than my spot trading activities, this will take a lot of risk.

For those who want to engage in Futures, the first step may be Isolated Margin. Using this type of margin trading, you will be able to reduce your risks and limit yourself from losing your deposit. And only after you can trade with profit using Isolated Margin, you can try Futures.

Both futures and spot trading are very important features for me, although I could not make much profit by trading futures. Let's fix the future a few days ago I have lost four hundred dollars of liquidity.

Spoting seems to me the best between spot trading and futures trading. Because if you lose here, your account balance will never be 0.But if you lose in futures trading, your balance will be zero. From sports trading you can be the heart once. But if my account balance from futures trading is 0 You will never be able to recover again. Although your profits from futures trading are high, there are ample risks involved. So I think spoting is much better than futures trading.

It is usually best to get really good with whatever you are doing first before you talk about doing other things. How good are you when it comes to spot trading, have you perfected your skills well enough in this area? It is really important that you get very good at the one you’re doing now, and when you’re good you can then think of spreading out to other areas of trading.

Futures it is a good one for sure, there are lots of advantages in it, but that is not to say we should forget the risks that’s involved in it, you can lose a lot of money in futures even in the slightest price movement.

Some people do really think off that they can deal with Futures/Leverage trades easily? They do consider it out if they do fail in Spot? They'll surely realize later on when they do burned out
theirselves in Futures.

People wont believe until they would truly experience it by their own hands.So let them be if they wont really be listening out on peoples advice on here that Futures is more riskier than with Spot.

It would be more worth if they do master out first on doing spot trading before considering on going to futures which at least do really give out some chance for you to make some profits.

Even spot trading is not something you should do if you are not very smart about it, I personally try to stay away from it as much as I can, try to avoid it as long as I can because it makes no sense to trade without having the courage and the data to back you up, so if I know what I am doing on certain trades I do it, but I do not chase trades, I just put my data requirements there, and if anything hits then I trade and that's it.

When spot trading is this hard, and not everyone makes money, then what is the point of someone actually going for futures trading, there are already so little amount of people that make profit consistently on spot trading, and only a handful of ones in them make money consistently on futures trading. I am not saying making a profit, I am saying consistently making profit because everyone could make a profit once in a while.

Take the signals of future trading and use them in spot trading. Because in spot trading there is no risk of losing your full investment. But it future trading you can lose all you have. So go with spot trading that's my opinion

its depend your trading style, what do you feel more comfortable with. both have different advantages and disadvantages. indeed spot trading is less risk but also according to what you stated it is less earning too. and for futures trading just the opposite. higher risk but also could possibly high reward. indeed future trading its quite gamble as many people said here.

One thing you should know both are risky but future is much riskier but more profitable than spot trading. In spot trading you are buying asset while in futures you are gambling your money and you have two options rather to go long (buy) or short (sell).
