Everyone have their choice of what they want to do exactly, if you have an understanding about futures then go ahead, similar action with futures it is either you understand it or not you losing money is a constant k so the moment you choose futures over spot you should have gotten a highlight of what it will feel like and you should be ready to lose because when you short and the market goes long then it’s a loss
I am not discouraging anyone who has knowledge about it from going into it, if you have knowledge of how it works, then you are going to know there is risk involved in it, and the risk is kind of high compared to when you are in spot trading, and as a knowledgeable person, you will be able to manage your risk in future trading.
But I do discourage newbies who know nothing about trading from jumping into future trading because they might end up losing everything they have within a very short period of time, and at the end, some of them might lose interest in trading or crypto entirely. So it’s just better to start with the one with lower risk, and as time goes on, you can begin to take higher risk.
