Play spot more
Play margin less
If you can't make money playing spot,
then don't even touch contracts.
Why do so many people in the crypto world play contracts? It's actually quite simple. First, because there are promotions for playing contracts, and for high commissions, they keep promoting it. Second, contracts are easier to promote than spots because spot trading requires a relatively larger amount of capital to earn a certain profit, while the threshold for contracts is only $500 or $1000. But the vast majority of people are just fodder. If your capital exceeds $20,000, it's still recommended to play spot. Currently, in this market, playing spot is not necessarily worse than contracts; at least with contracts, it's easy to lose money and even get liquidated. But spot trading is just about a few days or holding for a period of time, that's all.
