The Difference Between Spot Trading and Derivative Trading

Before we start, it’s essential to know the difference between spot trading and derivative trading.

Spot trading, also known as cryptp-to-crypto trading, is where delivery is made instantly after the buying or selling. For example, in a BTC/USDT trading pair, when you are trying to buy $100 of BTC, you actually sell $100 of USDT to get the equivalent value of BTC. After the transaction is completed, you no longer hold the $100 USDT. Instead, you hold the equivalent value of BTC worth $100, and you have direct ownership of those BTC.

However, derivative trading is essentially trading in futures contracts or options on margin, similar to those in the traditional finance market. It is similar in concept to a stock index or a contract containing a commodity contract, where investors can take risk on the future value of certain index or commodity. In crypto derivative trading, traders are expected to use USDT or other cryptos as a margin, rather than directly trade in crypto. And a cryptocurrency contract allows traders to enjoy the growth of value in cryptos without actually holding them.

For example, when you are using a 10x leverage to trade BTC/USDT contracts, you only need a margin of $1000 USDT to hold a BTC position worth $10000 USDT. When the price of BTC rises by 5%, the profit that can be achieved for that position will be (10000*5%) =$500. Since you only used $1000 USDT of margin to gain $500 USDT with a 10-times leverage, it becomes a 500/1000=50% return.

The increase of return is the result of the leverage, which allows trader only needs to pay a certain percentage of margin to hold a higher value contract. However, it’s important to remember that while using leverage, the greater the gains that may be gained, the greater the losses that may be faced. In the previous example, if the price of BTC falls by 5%, the loss is (10000*-5%)=-500 USDT, meaning the margin of $1000 USDT results in a return of -50%.
