⚡ Day 16 — Futures Trading & Leverage (Simple Guide)
Spot trading buys the asset.
Futures trading bets on price movement — up or down — without owning the coin.
💡 What Is Futures Trading?

🟦 What Is Leverage?
Leverage = borrowed capital
1× = no leverage
5× = 5x exposure
10× / 20× = higher risk
⚠️ Higher leverage = higher profit AND higher loss
🟨 Key Risks You Must Know
Liquidation: Position closes if price moves against you
Emotional trading: Fast losses without a plan
Over-leverage: Biggest reason traders lose money
🎯 Golden Rule
If you’re new → start small or avoid leverage
