Spot versus futures
Know the difference before submitting an order.
Updated October 17, 2026
Spot trades exchange assets you own. Futures introduce margin, leverage, liquidation risk, and exchange-specific protective order behavior.
A short signal does not imply it can be executed on spot. Select a compatible market and read the order preview before confirming. Availability differs by exchange and jurisdiction.
