Types of Trading and Positions
— using your own real funds on an exchange to open and close positions.
— simulating trades without using real funds. This mode is used for learning and testing strategies without financial risk.
— buying and selling assets with immediate settlement at the current market price. Unlike futures trading, spot trades do not involve leverage and have no expiration date. Spot trading is the default trading mode on most exchanges and is considered the standard form of trading.
— a trader’s open trade to buy or sell an asset, which remains active until it is closed.
— opening a position to buy, expecting the asset price to rise. If the price increases, the position gains value. The actual profit is realized when the position is closed — that is, when the asset is sold at a higher price than the entry point.
— opening a position to sell, expecting the asset price to fall. If the price decreases, the position becomes more profitable, and the trader can lock in gains upon closing the position.
Simple example: You open a short position at 100 USDT. The price drops to 90 USDT. When you close the position, you realize a profit equal to the difference between the entry and exit price — minus any fees.
Short positions are only available in margin or futures trading.
