Spot Trading

Spot trading is buying or selling the actual coin at the current price, with no leverage or contract involved.

Also known as: spot market

On the spot market you pay the current price and receive the coin, which you own and can withdraw. The most you can lose is what you paid, and there is no liquidation.

Spot is contrasted with derivatives such as futures, where you trade a contract on the price, usually with leverage. The prices on CoinSeekly pages are spot prices.
