The presenter demonstrates how to open, close, and manage positions with stop-losses and take-profits, emphasizing risk management. ### Key Points - **Video Aim and Warning** [00:29] — The video is for beginners with no knowledge of futures. It warns that futures are often seen as dangerous because people use them without understanding, but they are not a scam if used correctly. - **Key Difference: Trading on Price** [01:47] — In futures, you never own the cryptocurrency; you trade on the price movement, effectively betting on price changes up or down. - **Profit from Falling Prices** [02:32] — Unlike spot trading, futures allow you to make money when the price goes down (short selling). You sell high, buy low. - **Leverage Explained** [03:09] — Leverage allows you to trade larger amounts with less capital. With $100, you can control a $1,000 position (10x). Risk is limited to your initial margin; no loan is given. - **Understanding the Binance Interface** [06:50] — Explains the trading pair (e.g., BTCUSDT), the chart with Japanese candlesticks (green=up, red=down), timeframes (15M, 1H, 4H, etc.), and the order box on the right. - **Setting Isolated Margin** [13:07] — Using isolated margin means only the allocated funds for a specific trade are at risk, preventing cross-margin liquidation across all positions. - **Leverage and Liquidation Price** [13:34] — High leverage lowers the liquidation price. For example, with 10x leverage on a long, a 10% drop in Bitcoin liquefies the position. With 1x leverage, a 100% drop is needed. - **Stop Loss and Take Profit** [20:36] — Stop-loss limits losses by closing the trade at a predetermined price. Take-profit locks in profits. Both can be set when opening a position. - **Short Selling Mechanism** [22:38] — To profit from price declines, you 'open short'. For a short, the liquidation price is above the current price, and the trade profits if price falls. - **Limit Orders** [25:00] — Limit orders allow you to enter a trade at a specific price. For a long, the limit price must be below the current price; for a short, above the current price. No fees are charged until the order is filled. ### Conclusion Futures trading on Binance is a powerful tool for profiting from both upward and downward price movements, but it requires understanding leverage and risk management. Beginners should start with low leverage, use isolated margin, and always set stop-loss orders. ## Transcript investors, and even newcomers to the world of cryptocurrencies. If you're watching this video, it's probably because you're curious to know what futures contracts are, especially on the Binance platform, which is where we're going to look at them today. And let me tell you something, today's video will be very useful to you if you have very basic or practically no knowledge about what futures contracts are. Not only am I going to teach you what they are and understand when they are useful, but I'm also going to show you how to open and close your first trades without dying in the attempt. Because yes, let's face it. You've probably heard that futures contracts are a bit dangerous, and to some extent, they're right futures contracts are a bit dangerous, and to some extent, they're right people usually get involved without even knowing what they are. They take the money, put it in , open a trade in the market, and if it goes well, great, they're awesome, and if it goes badly it's a scam. Well, this isn't a scam, what's happening is that you simply don't know how to use them. So all I'm going to ask is that you get comfortable, grab something to drink, something to all the points you want to reinforce later, and most importantly, pay close attention. And obviously, before we begin, don't forget to leave a like on this video. First of all , what are futures, or rather , futures contracts? Well, we have to differentiate it from what the traditional market is. When we buy and sell a cryptocurrency, we Bitcoin, well, we have Bitcoin. We can save it in our wallet, we can do whatever we want. We are the specific owners of that cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, on the other hand, when we trade futures contracts, we never actually have the cryptocurrency itself. What we are doing is trading on the price of an asset. Let's bet, so to speak, that the price will change both up and down. We never actually We're simply making a bet on what will happen to the price. And yes, the word bet may sound ugly, but that's precisely what it is, because there is never, ever, a 100% probability of making the right move. That's the beauty of the market. If someone always knew the right answer, obviously you wouldn't want to be on the other side because that person would always win and you would always topic, what we need to understand is that we are doing that. We are trading on the price of an asset. We trust that the price will either go up or down, because yes, we can even make money when the price goes down. That's the When we buy Bitcoin, we we think the price will go up, and if we sell it, it is because we believe it will stop going up and start going down. Whereas in futures contracts what we can do is trade downwards, that is, make money when the price of Bitcoin falls. For example, if we believe it will stop falling, we can buy it and we will start making money when the price rises. And the third difference, which is also very important, is that in futures contracts we have what is called leverage, which we do not have in the traditional market. For example, we buy Bitcoin with our $100 and that's it , we can't do anything else. We have $100, we buy $100 worth of Bitcoin. Now we have to wait for the price to rise to sell it and have 110 or 120. On the other hand, in futures contracts, if we have $100, we could trade as if we had 1000 or 2000, for example. And that doesn't necessarily mean we're risking more capital, because what we have is still $100. The most we're going to lose is $100. Nobody is giving us money, nobody is lending us money, or anything like that later. Stay calm. Those are the three main differences. The first is that we operate on the price of the asset. We never have it in ourselves. The second is that we can make money when the price goes up and when the price goes down, not just when the price goes up. And the third is that with little money we can just buy and sell what we already have. With that in mind, I'm going to show you how we can open our first futures contract trades on the Binance platform. And for that, obviously, first We can do it from our computer, from our notebook, through a web page by opening it from Google, or we can do it through the application from our cell phone. Both options are very good. If you don't have a Binance account, I link I've included below in the description and pinned comment, or currently displayed on your screen while creating the account. From there you'll get discounts on fees, which are very small, but if it's all the better. It may seem like a very minor thing at first, but later you'll want to have it on your side. So create your account from there and you'll be helping me out. Hey, if you're learning all this and you have n't liked the video yet, well, it would be really bad if you didn't , so you can leave it down there. Now, secondly, if you don't know how to deposit money, how to create an account, how to withdraw it, or anything, you're starting from scratch. On my YouTube channel, simply by clicking on the this screen where, if you go to the section that says "playlists ," you'll find several playlists where I explain how to do everything from scratch. We have one directly for cell phones here, this one called where I show you all these same steps but from the phone application, and further down we have this one that says I learned to invest in things from scratch. With those videos that are there, you'll be able to navigate the platform, money, exchange it for cryptocurrencies, withdraw it, invest it, and do many other things, all explained step by step. And if you want something more complex, up there we have trading bots, little robots that operate with the strategy we set for them, but we'll leave that in the tags above that I have added. Now, once we have our Binance account and we already have money inside the account, let's go to the section that says futures. This is worth clarifying. If you are viewing it from a country where it is not allowed, this option will probably not appear for you. There are countries with different regulations, and if it does n't appear here, it's probably because you're in one of them. You may not be with a slightly calmer regulatory environment, you will be able to access it. Then it's not a bad thing for you. We're going to go to the part that says USDM futures. This one is very important, not the one below. Let's go to this one here and this screen will appear, which is full of numbers, colors, and movement. Okay, don't worry, I'm going to explain step by step what each thing is so you do n't get confused. Let's start with the top left. First of all, here where it says BTC USDT. This is the cryptocurrency that we are going to trade or that we are looking at. In this case we are trading Bitcoin, which is BTC, expressed in dollars. It says USDT here. USDT is a stable cryptocurrency; it basically replicates the US dollar. Therefore, what we are looking at here is the Bitcoin USD pair. It is the price of Bitcoin expressed in dollars. If we go a little further to the right, we can see that it says 89,655 at the time of recording this video. That's 're looking at it, it might be 100,000, it might be 30,000, 40,000, let's hope not. Or maybe, I don't know, it depends on each person, but it could be at 300,000 saying, why didn't I buy it when it was 90,000? Well, that doesn't matter. Let's go to information. Brand price, index price, which are not such important things is something that is charged periodically, but that is perhaps a for another video. If you want me to show them to you , please let me know in the comments. In fact, I make money trading those assets that have high financing rates. Notice how on the last day I only closed three trades. One gave me $7, another gave me $8.13, and a final one gave me $ 19.60. [music] I left these trades open for a very short time, less than 10 minutes each, and between the three of them in one day I managed to make $36. And one might think that maybe I did it with a lot of money, when in reality the truth is that I didn't do it with just 65 or $68. With that, I made 36 in one day, but this is because I already have correctly and so on, but well, that was to show you what can be important information and know where we stand. Here we see more information, such as the maximum price that Bitcoin had in 24 hours, which reached $93,000, the minimum price, the volume that Bitcoin moved in 24 hours, that is how many Bitcoins in quantity were traded. We see that it is an abysmal amount. Here on the right we have it expressed in dollars and on the matter if we click here where it says " graphic", we'll be able to see this screen here. This screen here has a lot of information that's important to us. If we go further up to the left, we'll see that it says time, it says 15M. an H, 4H, a D, a W. That's the time frame we'll be using to view this chart. 15M is 15 minutes, one H is one hour, four are 4 hours, one D is one day and one W is one week. If we click here, we will see that we have 3 minutes, 1 minute, 1 second, 5 minutes. These different timeframes will not affect the way we carry out our operations, it will simply change the way we view the chart. For example, here we that it is marked and if we go to a certain point on the graph, for example, here the highest part, we will be able to see the exact price that Bitcoin had on that date and time. For example, on Monday, October 6, 2025, Bitcoin had a price of $15,847 and we can see it up there on the right and below we can see the date and time. And how do we know it was at that this part here, if we zoom in on the colored lines and here in this top part was that colored line, therefore, at that moment it had that price. Now, what are these colored lines? Well, they're called Japanese candlesticks and they're a way of viewing the price of an asset, in this case Bitcoin. Green lines mean that the price went up during that time period, and a red line means that the price went down during that time period. What is temporality? Remember that up here on the left we each of these Japanese candlesticks, of these lines, represents one day. If I wanted to change that and put, for example, a W here, now each of these Japanese candlesticks represents a week. Therefore, I can see what Bitcoin's price movement was during that week. For example, this past week Bitcoin was falling, but if we go to the previous week, what 's in the green. In this way we can see the price behavior of an other. And how do we switch to another one? Well, if we go here where the name is, and click search, we can search for any other cryptocurrency, for example, ETH, which is Ethereum, and we can see it expressed in dollars. Here's the first one. We click and see that we are going to see a completely different chart, where, for example, Bitcoin went up much more here. Note that, for example, during all these weeks from April 7, 2025 to August 18, April 7, 2025 to August 18, 2025, Ethereum rose 250% in 133 days. That happens naturally. We didn't use leverage or anything that would make us earn more money. That means huge profits if we predict that move correctly. Now, how did I go about marking those things? Well, on the left here we have several tools that will help us draw on the graph to better understand the things that are happening or to remember them in the future. For example, this rule will help us measure the distance help us measure the distance an asset falls, which here fell 66% in 112 days, or simply rise 255% in 133 days. Where do we see that? Well, instead of have the one that says TradingView activated. That one will be more complete and will help you see things better. Now, on the right we have more something a bit complex that they won't be using right now, and above it, the latest operations performed. They're not going to see much of that at first either. Now, something they will use is what's furthest to the right, what's called the command box. Here we will upload our orders so we can launch them on the market. In other words, without this tool we simply could not operate. Let's switch back to Bitcoin. We're using BTC USDT Bitcoin as an example, and we're going to set the timeframe we drag like this, notice that I can move the graph around to position it however I want. Now, a very important detail before starting anything: be alert on all sides. First of all, you will have two options here. They probably have it in their system. The first thing we're going to do is put it in isolation. Yeah? This will allow you to operate in a safer manner. What's the difference? If you place a cross position, it will have in your futures account as collateral or guarantee for your operations. We don't want that; we want to isolate it because here, if we decide to open a trade with $50, the most we can lose is that $50. If we want to put in a deposit, we only need those 100, but we wo we have in the account. Then we select isolated and confirm. Now, the second very important topic, here on the right we have what is leverage, which you see says 30x here, well, we are going to click on it, you can have 20, 10, whatever. We're going to lower it quite a bit, down to the going to lower it quite a bit, down to the maximum, but at most, 5x. Let's lower it We can confirm. If for any reason these things don't appear for you here, it's because on the right there's a small button that says s. If we click there, we have the multi-asset option and the single-asset option . The one they need to have activated is the one that says "single active". And another there's a small key that if you press it you'll see something that says position mode. And we have two options: unilateral or coverage. I use hedging because I like to open both long positions, that is, if I wanted, but if you want to have something protected, you just put in unilateral and that's it . For me, it's much better coverage, but that's for you to decide. They may not be interested now, but later on they will difference. But if you have it set up like I do in hedging mode, you'll see " open" and "close," "isolated," and an X. Now let's enable the market option orders: market orders and limit orders. Let's start with the easiest ones. In the market, what will happen is that the position will be opened in the market at the current price, as we see here, at $89,784. Not a second will pass before we'll be winning or losing depending on what happens. Obviously we're going to need money to do this. If you don't section it will show zero available. In this case, I get 288 because I already have it because you put it in the funds account, spot account, yellow arrows here and what you have to do is put which wallet you want to send it from. For example, Earn isolated, Fiat Spot or wherever they have the money, which is usually fiat spot or funds, send it to the one that says USDM future. Yes, don't confuse it with another one, it's the one that says USDM futures. And then, what currency do they want to send? In this case it has to be USDT. They or whatever and click confirm, and it will arrive here. That doesn't to set an example. If I wanted to put $10 here, you'll see that I wouldn't be able to. Because? Well, because here it tells us that the minimum amount is 179 USDT, that is, $179, which would be the equivalent of 0.002 Bitcoin. That's the size of an order, but rest assured that we will be able to open an order with 10 or $. That is changing. Sometimes it's 0.00 a Bitcoin, notice that if we wanted to open an order in the market, we would have to put, for example, $1. And that's where it lets me do it . $10 is the equivalent of 0.002 bitcoin. If we wanted to open a long position because we believe the price will rise, we would simply click here where it says "open long". If we go down a equilibrium price" and we will either be making or losing we go further down we will see that it says Bitcoin USDT and this is our position. Our position is our order, but once in the market, we are already winning or losing. information, the order size which was 180, the price at which we entered further to the right, the price at which we are going to lose all our Bitcoin. Since we have leverage of X, Bitcoin would have to fall to $5 for us to lose our $1. I don't think that's going to happen, but oh well, he liquidation price and it will be important later on when they start using higher leverage. Now I was wrong, this is very slow. Here we see how I'm losing 3 cents. I'm falling asleep, I want to get out of here, it's so boring. Well, we have several options to close this market position. So, we simply click there and everything closes, and that's it. So, if I go to where [music] says position history and I refresh, I'll be where I lost 25 cents because, well, the 9 cents from the price loss and the 17 cents in commissions, remember that you'll pay less in commissions if you create the account from description and in the pinned comment. But anyway, that's not the important thing. What they're asking me now is, how do I trade with less money? I don't want to put in $10 to earn 3 cents or lose 10 cents. It's very slow. Okay, [music] that starts now up here where there's an X. This is leverage. This will allow us to trade larger amounts with less capital. For example, if I increase it to 2x and click confirm, notice that here, even if I want to enter $10, it tells me the minimum is 180. Okay, so let's enter 180. And that's it. I put 180 back. Actually no, because if we go down here we see that it says cost and that's how much of our money will be taken to open that 180 position in the market. And we see that on the right it says $90, meaning that with $90 we're going to open a position of 180. Why does this happen? Well, because we have 2x leverage, therefore the position size is divided by two and that's what I have to leave as collateral. So, what happens with this? Remember that before I had to wait for Bitcoin to drop 100% basically to lose my $180. Well, in this case that's not going to happen because if I click open, notice that we went down here, now the clearance price increased quite a bit. Now I'm going to lose these $90, which are these here that say margin. If Bitcoin drops to $45,000. Notice how the number no longer has to be a 100% drop. Now, if it simply drops drop. Now, if it simply drops by 50%, I'll be losing my $90. Exactly 50% is the same as dividing it in two. And what's going to happen? Well, if I start increasing the leverage to higher numbers, like 10x for example, and click confirm, I'll still be able to open an order for $180, but I'll only need $20. In other words , I have 10x leverage and I only need to have $18. I open a long position and notice that I'm going down further here; I only used $18, but now I'm going to lose that $18 if Bitcoin falls to $81,000. In other words, it has to fall by 10%, which is exactly one tenth of 100% because I leveraged myself 10 times. This is how leverage works. Nobody is lending you money, they're just increasing your exposure. We use less capital because maybe we don't have $200 to trade, maybe we have $50, but the price movement that has to happen for us to lose or win is much smaller. And this may seem very bad, like, well, we have a greater but in reality we also have a much greater chance of making more money, because now with these $1, if Bitcoin instead of falling 10% and me losing them, rises 10%, I will be making $1. In other words, I doubled my investment because it went up 10%. That's simply how leverage works. It's a tool that allows us to trade larger amounts with less capital, but that doesn't mean it has to be riskier. What is not risky is setting a loss cut, or what is also called a stop loss. And how do we set a stop-loss to avoid losing a lot of money? Well, if we go further to the Bitcoin UST. This is our order, and we're going to look at something that says TPSL. These are take profit and stop loss. If says "take profit," that's taking profits. If we go to the right, it says stop loss, it's a loss cut. I simply press the one that says stop loss and here I put that I want to lose a maximum of $5. So, I put in $5 and notice lose a maximum of $5. So, I put in $5 and notice that an order will be activated at $87,189, have in the market and I will lose a maximum of $5. I'll click confirm. I'll confirm again. And if we go here to the chart, we'll see that happen now is that if the price starts to fall because we're not making a profit and it gets close to this point, right here at $87,000, our trade will close and we'll only lose five, not 18. Therefore, not only were we able to trade protected ourselves and didn't lose everything, even though we used high leverage. The same applies to the other side. If we want to make money when the open buy position, we can click here where it says take profit or stop loss. Let's go to the part that says take profit and put in $5. So, if it goes up to 92,189, we'll confirm here. First we confirm again and if it goes up to that point we'll see that now yes, directly if the price starts to rise it will close here with a $5 profit. So, if I want to cancel everything, how do I do it? I simply grab here, click on market again, and everything closes. It's that simple. That's a market order. We will enter the market directly and instantly, and we can place take profit or stop loss orders immediately. So here we put take profit stop loss and we put at what price we want it to close. For example, 92,000 and we will be gaining $5 if we open a buy order or losing five on a sell order. Down here we put 88,800 and we're going to lose 1.64 on a purchase order and so on, and so on. That would be profit-taking and loss-cutting. Now, a very important detail: remember that I also told you that we could make do that? Well, instead of clicking here where it says "open long", we're going to have to click where it says "open short", because that's exactly what a short is, it's profiting when the price starts to fall. When we open a long or a buy order, we profit when prices rise. And when we open a short order or a when the price goes down. For example, if I click on "open short" now, we go down here and it will appear like this . It says size -180. But rest short position and we will distinguish it by the color we have on the left. The well, we're going to see the same thing, only the liquidation price current price, meaning Bitcoin would have to go up for us to lose these $18. It's the opposite of when we buy. Because? Because in this case we are profit come from? As? Because many people don't understand where the profit comes from when you make money when the price goes down. Well, on the other side there are investors who believe that the price will rise. Therefore, when you are profiting from the decline, someone on the other side is losing because they think the price will rise. The money passes from one hand to the other. Many will say that's not fair. For me, it's the fairest thing in the world. Everyone relies on their own analysis, and that's why they have to do it very well before entering and putting their money in. It's your money and Very important detail [music] here. Obviously, if we set a take profit the take profit has to be at the bottom because we will be making money when the price falls, and the stop loss has to be at the top because we will be losing money when the price rises. It's the same thing, but in reverse. And just like before, if we see that we are already you want, you click where it says market and it closes automatically, with profits or losses, whatever you want. Now, what happens if I go to sleep, or go on a trip? I'm running errands, working on something, and I want to buy at a certain price, but I don't have my computer or mobile app to open the order the moment I see that. Well, you can pre-set an order so that if the price reaches that point, the position will be opened automatically. similar to what we did when we placed a take profit or a stop loss. We were able to do that with limit orders, this one that's here on the left of the market. And we see that it says price here. Well, for that you simply have to set the price at which you want to enter. For example, it is now 89,625. I believe Bitcoin will start to rise if it hits $88,000. So here I'm going to put 88,000. I'm going to put the amount again, well, in this case $10 so you understand the example. And here I'm going to open long. If I click " open long" and then "confirm," an order will be drawn on the map, on the the price of Bitcoin starts to fall and touches this point here, a buy order will be opened. At this point, two things could happen. Either the price starts to rise and I make money, or it starts to fall and I lose money because I have a buy position. But I'm going to start winning or losing from this point on, not from up here. When I issued this order—because it is an order—if it is not followed, nobody pays anything. In this case, no commissions occur; commissions are only paid when there is a position in the market, that is, at pay much lower fees if you create your account using the link I've included pinned comment, or by scanning the QR code that appears on your screen. Bitcoin will never reach that point or whatever , we simply scroll down and open orders. [music] There's a trash can on the right, we click cancel there and that's it, it's canceled. That doesn't pay anything, you can cancel it without worry, we don't have a position in the market. Now, a very, very important detail: if we are going to open a buy order or a long, as you prefer to call it, to profit when the price goes up, this buy order has to have a price set here lower than the current price, because look what happens if I set it above, for example, $91,000 and I am going to amount. Don't forget to include the amount. Ah, 182. Well, it went up a little. Let's put 190. And then open it. We confirm. And notice one thing, it no longer appears directly up here. What happened is that I went straight into the market. platform interprets that if you're going to make money when the price goes up, why start making money? I open it directly to the current moment. properly. So, when they want to open a buy order, this price they put up here has to be lower than the current price. However, if they want to open a short or sell order, it has to be above the current price. Remember, it's always the other way around, for example, 92,000. And there I put 190 here and I click open short. We confirmed and note that she does not appear below, but rather needs to happen here is for the price to rise a little, and only then is the position opened and we start making money if the price falls. Similarly, we can add take profit and stop loss to these limit orders that will be placed once the market opening price is reached . And I know it the truth is, it's just a matter of watching the video a couple of times and it'll all seem can leave them in the comments below and I or someone else in the community with a bit more knowledge will answer them. And I also invite you to the community's Telegram group and channel . On our Teleger channel, we share a lot of information about these things, as well as get from time to time. And in the trading group there are several people who are sharing their trades and strategies, their analyses, and lot of interaction and new people are joining every day.
