๐ Introduction
Many enter Binance Futures greedily seeking quick profits, but only a few truly understand how it actually works.
In this post, I will explain futures contracts on Binance in a simple way, with the most important tips to avoid fatal mistakes.
โ What is Binance Futures?
Binance Futures allows you to profit from price increases or decreases without owning the currency.
๐ Price increase expected โ Long position
๐ Expecting a price drop โ Short trade
And this feature is not available in regular trading (Spot).
โ๏ธ What is leverage?
Leverage means trading with more than your capital.
Simple example:
Capital: 20 USDT
Leverage: ร5
Trade size: 100 USDT
โ ๏ธ Warning:
Leverage multiplies profit and loss, so do not use high leverage as a beginner.
