Spot is the simplest form of trading: cash for goods, hand to hand — no leverage, no delivery, no forced liquidation. This chapter explains the underlying logic of spot buying and selling from scratch, then expands into low-risk strategies such as DCA, grid trading, and arbitrage, devotes a dedicated article to the safe storage and wallet management of crypto spot, and closes with a systematic method for portfolio construction and rebalancing.
