What is Futures Trading?
Futures trading is a type of trading where you make an agreement to buy or sell an asset (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) at a specific time and price in the future, but you don't actually have to wait until that time—you can close the trade in advance, with a profit or loss.
Key features of futures trading :
Features Explanation
Leverage Large orders can be placed with less capital. For example, a $100 trade with $10 at 10x leverage.
Long & Short You can go long (Buy) if you think the price will increase and short (Sell) if you think the price will decrease.
Quick Profit It is possible to make a profit even with small price fluctuations, so the potential for profit is higher (and riskier) than spot trading.
Liquidation If you trade in the wrong direction, you can lose all your capital, which is called liquidation.
Futures Trading Guide for Beginners :
🔹 Account Opening & Security
Open an account on a trusted exchange (such as Bitget, Binance, Bybit). Enable Google Authenticator & withdrawal whitelist.
🔹 Fund Transfer
Transfer funds from Spot Wallet to Futures Wallet.
🔹 Leverage Setting
Leverage ranges from 1x to 125x. It is better to start with 5x or less leverage.
🔹 Open a trade by understanding the market trend
If you think the price will increase → Long
If you think the price will decrease → Short
Example :
Suppose BTC is now $30,000, you think it will increase then if you go long for $10 with 5x leverage, if BTC is 32,000 → you can make a 66% profit.
🔹 Set Stop Loss and Take Profit
Stop Loss → Set loss limit
Take Profit → Automatically close trade at profit
🔹 Learn Technical Analysis
You need to understand candlestick charts, RSI, MACD, Trendlines, Support & Resistance.
Futures trading without TA = gambling
Some important tips for beginners :
Start with demo trading (such as Bitget's “Futures Trial” option)
Use low leverage (3x–5x)
Learn fund management – don't invest all at once
Don't trade without a stop-loss
Follow the news – such as CPI, FOMC, etc.
Most importantly: Reduce greed and maintain discipline!
Note :
Futures trading is high risk, it is true that you can make quick profits from it, but your capital can be completely gone in a wrong trade. Therefore, it is dangerous to invest before learning.
