Both types of tradings have their own benefits and disadvantages. If you aim for profits at the starting of your trading care, then I am afraid that you won’t make it long. If you are a beginner then in order to understand trading, spot trading will be the best option. It’s easier to understand and you just need to buy and sell the coins at perfect time. When you make good profits from spot trading and have some confidence on yourself, then only go for future training. A trader who has done spot trading can easily do future tradings, but the reverse is not possible.
The name alone should make a beginner think twice. Spot has to do with on the instant trade. It's not risky nor will there be much considerable loss like it's counterpart, future trading.
As futuristic as the name implies, a good trader knows that it is only a good understanding of how the market moves at certain times of the day, week, month, year. Whale signal alerts has to be gathered as well as other news and policies that might influence the movement of the market.
How can a beginner begin to gain from trading when this knowledge is missing or it's still being made a sense out of?
The reverse is obviously not possible for futures trading, that's why a beginner needs to understand how trading works and also try demo trading platforms and spot trading firstly, before any other form of future trading is tried out.
