Imagine this 👇
You and your friend are guessing tomorrow’s weather.
You say: “It will rain.”
Your friend says: “It will be sunny.”
You both place a bet on who’s right.
That bet is called futures trading.
Now replace weather with crypto price.
What is Futures Trading?
On Binance Futures, you are not buying the coin.
You are only guessing:
Will the price go UP?
Or will it go DOWN?
If your guess is right → you earn money
If your guess is wrong → you lose money
Two Simple Buttons
Long
You click Long when you think:
👉 “Price will go UP”
Short
You click Short when you think:
👉 “Price will go DOWN”
That’s it. No magic.
What Is Leverage? (The Dangerous Part)
Leverage is like borrowing a loudspeaker to shout.
With 1x → You speak normally
With 10x → You shout 10× louder
With 50x → You scream… and may faint
Example:
You have $10
Use 10× leverage
You trade like you have $100
If price moves a little against you →
💥 Your money can disappear fast
What Is Liquidation?
Liquidation means:
“You were so wrong that the system closed your trade.”
Like this:
Teacher says: “Enough. Sit down.”
Your balance becomes $0
Binance does this to stop you from losing more than you have.
Why Do People Trade Futures?
People like futures because:
You can earn even when price falls
You can make money faster
You feel smart (for 5 minutes)
But:
Losses are also faster
Emotions get hurt quickly
