I think most people would have the same answer in this case that spot trading is definitely better than futures trading for beginners. Future trading is mainly for professionals. Spot trading is good for beginners. It has less risk. In spot trading, the investment has to be reduced, as a result, the amount of loss is also less. In future trading, the amount of profit is as high as the amount of loss. However, there are profit and loss in both. People have faced losses in spot trading. On the other hand, people have benefited a lot in future trading. But spot trading will be useful for beginners I would say.
First of all trading is risky for beginners then if the question is which is better for beginners spot trading or futures trading, I think anyone here will answer spot trading without any hesitation. Futures trading is very risky and like gambling if caught. If a new member tries to start futures trading first he will lose all his money before understanding the various aspects of trading. A new member should first try to learn about trading, after learning step by step about trading one time he should start first step of trading with small amount of money. When he gets real experience with small amount of money he will understand the real strategy of trading then he can conduct his own trading step by step. Future trading is a step too far for a member, it is better not to engage in futures training if one does not have much experience in trading.
Trading is risky even if you would really be that talking about spot, how much on futures? It would really be just that common sense that you would really be that sticking with spot since leverage trading is something
which is not a noob friendly considering that being liquidated would really be just that too easy and just that too short and this is something not really that recommended or advisable for noobs to touch on.
Even veteran ones wont really be that much that effective nor really that profitable with future, although there are ones who would really be able to make out but not all would really be failing this kind of
trading way or method. Yes, it is really that something that could give big profits if done it right but with markets volatility and unpredictability then it wouldnt be recommended for noobs.
If you are really just that starting with trading then always stick with spot, use small funds to make yourself that able to familiarize things on slow pace and not on a rushed way.
Futures is never been simple and never been that something that could be easily handled.If you could be able to take up some risks
then go ahead and see for yourself on how risky this market is.
