What's the Difference Between a Spot Portfolio and a Futures Portfolio on Pluang?
Your Spot Portfolio shows the crypto assets you directly own, valued in IDR at current market prices, while your Futures Portfolio records every Crypto Futures transaction you make, focusing on your Futures assets, margin, and leverage positions in USDT. The two are tracked separately in the Pluang app because they represent fundamentally different types of exposure — direct ownership on one side, and leveraged derivative contracts on the other.
- Spot Portfolio — reflects the actual crypto assets in your wallet, valued at the current market price in IDR, with no leverage or margin involved.
- Futures Portfolio — reflects your open and closed positions, USDT margin, leverage, funding payments, and PnL, without owning the underlying asset.
- Why they're separate — leverage and margin mechanics apply only to Futures, so keeping them distinct lets you monitor each independently.
- Check both regularly — especially if you're hedging your Spot Portfolio with a Futures position.
- Different risk profiles by design — Spot can only lose what you paid; Futures carries liquidation risk on top of price risk.
Related questions:
Q: Where can I see my open Crypto Futures positions on Pluang?
Your open Crypto Futures positions, margin, and leverage are shown in the Futures Portfolio, separate from your Spot Portfolio.
Q: Does my Futures Portfolio show the assets I own outright?
No. The Futures Portfolio focuses on your Futures assets, margin, and leverage positions — asset ownership is only reflected in your Spot Portfolio.
Q: If I hedge my spot holdings with a Futures position, will they show up in the same portfolio?
No. Your spot holdings remain in the Spot Portfolio and your hedge position remains in the Futures Portfolio, so you'll need to check both to see your combined exposure.
Q: Why doesn't Pluang combine both portfolios into a single view?
Spot and Futures represent structurally different exposures, so keeping them separate avoids conflating asset ownership with leveraged, liquidation-prone positions.
