Spot. Introduction.

Spot Module​

What is the Spot Market?​

The spot market is the standard form of cryptocurrency trading where assets are bought and sold at the current market price, and the result appears directly on the account balance.

In simple terms:

  • you buy an asset using your own funds;
  • the purchased asset appears on your balance;
  • when you sell it, you receive the quote currency back.

For many users, the spot market is the most straightforward way to work with cryptocurrency, especially when the goal is accumulation, portfolio building, and longer-term investing rather than leveraged trading.

Why users choose the spot market​

People usually choose the spot market when they want to:

  • build positions gradually over time;
  • spread capital across several assets;
  • reduce the effect of short-term market noise;
  • stay in control of how much capital is used.

The spot market is often the most practical starting point for users who want a more systematic approach to crypto investing.

Portfolio Investing​

Portfolio investing means distributing capital across several assets instead of relying on a single coin.

The main idea is balance:

  • reduce concentration risk;
  • combine different assets in one plan;
  • make purchases more systematic;
  • keep the investment process disciplined.

This approach is useful for users who want a repeatable process instead of making every decision manually.

Purpose of the Firedrake Spot Module​

The Spot section in Firedrake is designed for users who want to work with spot assets in a structured way.

The section includes several working pages:

  • Assets — an overview of spot balances across connected accounts;
  • Terminal — a working screen with the chart, market list, open positions, and order history;
  • Portfolio Builder — recurring purchases, portfolio setup, buy filters, and Telegram notifications;
  • Dashboard — reports for reviewing spot results.

Together, these pages help users move from simple balance tracking to a more organized portfolio workflow.

What the Spot Section Helps With​

Use the Spot section when you want to:

  • track balances on connected spot accounts;
  • review spot markets from a working interface;
  • organize recurring purchases;
  • group assets into portfolios;
  • review results using dedicated reports.

This is the part of Firedrake for users who treat cryptocurrency as an investment portfolio rather than as a leveraged trading product.

Summary​

The Spot module is best understood as a workspace for:

  • managing spot holdings;
  • reviewing spot markets;
  • building recurring purchase plans;
  • monitoring portfolio performance.

If your goal is to work with spot assets in a more structured and disciplined way, this is where that workflow begins.
