Futures trading involves high risk. Never invest money that you cannot
afford to lose.
Step 1:
Understand the Magic (Leverage) The key is leverage. If you have $1
(Margin) and use 10x leverage, you can control a position
of $10 in the market. If the price increases by 10%, you gain 100% of your
investment ($1). But if it drops by 10%, you lose all your capital ($1).
Step 2:
Set up your Futures Account Go to the Futures tab on Binance and
make sure you have funds in your USDT-M Futures Wallet.
Step 3:
Choose your Asset and the Pair (Example: ETH/USDT) Select a coin. ETH is excellent for
learning because it is volatile but with great liquidity.
Step 4:
Set up the Parameters (Important!) I have designed a visual image to guide you in the
ideal entry point.
Margin: Choose Isolated
(Isolated). Why? Because if you use "Cross" and
the operation goes against you, the system could use all the balance from your
futures wallet to maintain the position. By using Isolated, you only
risk the $1 you are investing.
Leverage: Select 10x. Tip:
20x or 50x is extremely risky for a beginner; 10x gives you the
necessary power with manageable risk.
Step 5: Set up the Order (Reduce-Only)
Amount: Enter the amount that
equates to a position value of $10 (with your capital of $1 * 10x).
Make sure Reduce-Only is checked. Remember, yesterday
we learned to use Reduce-Only in our Trailing Stop! This ensures that
your order only closes an open position and does not mistakenly open a new one in
the opposite direction.
Step 6:
Set Take Profit and Stop Loss Don't trade without them! Set your Stop Loss
so that the trade closes if you lose 50% of your margin (example: if the
price drops by 5% with 10x leverage, you will lose $0.50 and the order will close).
And your Take Profit where you have your target (example: +10%).
