  • What Is Cryptocurrency Futures Trading?3:32

    Discover how cryptocurrency futures trading uses contracts to buy or sell in the future, predicting price direction and using long and short positions to profit on up or down markets.

  • Difference Between Spot Trading and Futures Trading1:01

    Understand the difference between spot trading and futures trading: spot involves owning coins and profiting from price rises, while futures use contracts, leverage, and no ownership, with future-date execution.

  • Test your understanding of the concept of Futures trading
  • SHORT Position Explained With Example3:00

    Take a short position by selling crypto now and buying it back later at a lower price to profit if prices fall; however, rising prices cause a loss.

  • LONG Position Explained With Example2:15

    Explain the long position in cryptocurrency futures by buying to sell later at a higher price, showing profit when prices rise and loss when they fall, via a 500-coin example.

  • The Reality of Price Movement in Futures Trading3:16

    In cryptocurrency futures trading, prices zigzag rather than move in a straight line; long or short positions may incur temporary losses while the overall trend remains favorable.

  • Test your understanding of SHORT and LONG positions
  • What is Leverage in Futures Trading1:41

    Learn how futures leverage works in cryptocurrency trading, using collateral to access 20x to 125x positions, and how leverage amplifies both profits and losses in long or short trades.

  • How Leverage Affects Your Profit Position1:12

    Explore how leverage magnifies profits in futures trading, using a long Bitcoin position with 20x leverage to show a 10% move yielding $200 versus $10 without leverage.

  • How Leverage Affects Your Loss Position2:07

    Discover how 20x leverage on Bitcoin futures caps losses with collateral and auto-closes trades, and how adding funds increases collateral to prevent auto closure.

  • The Leverage Positions Available On Binance Futures0:58

    Explore six leverage positions on Binance futures, from 1x to 125x, including how a 20x max position can reach 10 million USD and how you can slide leverage before opening.

  • What is Liquidation?1:24

    Understand liquidation: losses reach the maximum allowed, triggering automatic closure of futures positions. Avoid liquidation by adding funds, reducing positions, or manually closing trades before losses reach 100 percent.

  • Test your understanding of Leverage and Liquidation

Requirements

  • Interest in learning
  • General knowledge of how to use the internet and cryptocurrencies
