> Source: [Binance Futures: How to Trade | Beginner's Guide](https://youtube.com/watch?v=9eOC7xh27Dg)

## Summary

This video is a beginner's guide to trading futures on Binance, explaining the basics of futures contracts, leverage, liquidation, and how to open and close positions. The instructor emphasizes the risks of high leverage and advises beginners to start with low leverage or spot trading.

### Key Points

- **Introduction to Futures** [00:03] — Futures are agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and time. Unlike margin trading, futures involve trading contracts, not the asset itself.
- **Perpetual Futures** [01:49] — Binance offers perpetual futures with no expiration date, unlike traditional futures. This simplifies trading for beginners.
- **Cross vs Isolated Margin** [02:55] — Cross margin uses funds from your main account to prevent liquidation, while isolated margin only uses the margin account. Isolated margin is recommended to limit risk.
- **Leverage up to 125x** [03:33] — Futures allow leverage up to 125x, which can lead to instant liquidation with small price movements. Beginners should avoid high leverage.
- **Opening a Position** [04:54] — To open a position, fund your futures wallet, set leverage, choose isolated margin, set stop loss and take profit, then buy or sell.
- **Liquidation Price Calculation** [05:44] — Use the calculator to determine liquidation price. Higher leverage increases liquidation risk; a small price change can liquidate the position.
- **Stop Loss and Take Profit** [06:26] — Always set stop loss and take profit to automatically close positions at target prices, protecting against losses and securing profits.
- **Commissions and Bonus** [07:06] — Commissions are low, and new users can get a 5% futures bonus via referral link. Closing positions is done through the positions menu.

### Conclusion

The video provides essential knowledge for beginners to start trading futures on Binance, but emphasizes that trading skills and risk management are crucial for profitability.

risky. To fully understand what we will be talking about today, be sure to watch the two previous videos, namely, how to trade in classic mode. The next level is margin trading, and today the last level is
futures. In this video, you will learn how to trade on ben from futures, what leverage is involved with, what is liquidation, how to open a position with stop loss and take profit, and why, with incorrect trading, you can lose all your
money in a couple of minutes [music] before  Before we begin, I'll ask you to like this, because by doing so, you support this channel and motivate me to release more new,
continue. First, let's figure out what a futures contract is. Futures are an agreement on the mandatory purchase or sale of an asset at a predetermined price at a predetermined time. For example, you agreed
to sell your friend a kilogram of rice for 50 rubles in a couple of months. You signed a contract that he must buy this rice from you for 50 rubles in a month to prevent any mishaps. The price and weight are fixed in the contract. These are futures. It's important to understand that we're not
buying cryptocurrency, but the contract itself, that is, the futures. Therefore, you shouldn't think that by buying cryptocurrency on the futures market with us, you can expire or deposit a futures contract. It's just a contract. As you and I
understand, futures have an expiration date, meaning as soon as we give our friend the rice, the futures contract will close. But specifically, Nabina, NS, and D.M. Futures are perpetual, they have no expiration date. In fact, there
analyze them completely, this is a rather complex topic, so as not to confuse you, I will make a separate video where I will explain in more detail what futures are and how they work. The most important thing is that you understood the difference. Margin trading is
and futures are trading contracts. Is that really the whole difference? You ask, of course not. Let me clearly show you what is special about this market. In the main menu, click on the derivatives futures button. Us, s, and m, we are
greeted by the trading terminal and immediately asked to take a short test. Everything is the same as in margin trading. 12, thus, it checks your basic knowledge and absolves itself of all responsibility in the event of your losses. But like everything in this
world, it is done for show, so you don’t need to know the test, because any wrong answer can always be changed to the correct one. Thus, by us, it tells us I did everything I could. Then, you yourself, after you have passed the test,
And how could you notice the difference between marginal and  There are practically no futures terminals, except for a couple of differences. The first is that in the upper right corner there is a button for cross and isolated margin, which explains the difference.
Cross margin means that if your trade goes into the red and starts to bring losses, Tobin.on will be able to take money from your main account to delay the liquidation of your position. Isolated margin means that by
us will take money exclusively from the margin account and will not touch your other assets. Of course, we choose isolated margin. After all, it would not be very pleasant to wake up in the morning and all the money will disappear without a trace. In this
corner, we have our leverage. Here, perhaps, the most important difference between margin and futures. As you can see, leverage here can reach 125x, which is a lot. For example, in margin trading, our maximum is
talked about leverage in more detail, but here I repeat: if you have $100 on your balance, take leverage of 125x, you will get a breath of $12,500. This means that your position will be liquidated instantly with a minimal price deviation not in your favor.
Therefore,  Don't be fooled by high leverage. You minute. When it comes to leverage, many people ask what the optimal leverage size should be. My personal opinion is that if you're a beginner, I would
Even using 3x leverage, your position can be liquidated. Believe me, I've had my portfolio drop by 50 percent more than once. If I had traded with leverage, I would have lost everything long ago. But over
time, prices always recovered. This is cryptocurrency, it's very volatile, so it's better to trade on the spot market without leverage. Then you'll have minimal risks. In futures trading, there's a high probability of losing your entire
balance, and the higher the leverage, the greater the chance of being liquidated. I hope you now understand that trading futures requires skills and good knowledge, since you're no longer trading with your own money. Now I'll show you
how to open and close a position on futures. First, as with margin trading, we need to replenish our funds.  A futures account is created by simply clicking on the wallet, selecting SDM. We are taken to our honest account, see
the balance, and in the top right corner, there are buttons for transfer, exchange, buy, select transfer, 5, decline on futures, write ours from DT, it is important to top up the account, buzz DT, why I
told you in the last video, write the quantity and top up everything, the futures replenishment option in the trading terminal, on the right, there are two arrows next to the calculator, replenishment occurs in the same way, we move on to the trading terminal, as you
can see, on the neck of SDM in our account. For example, I will open a long position on the cryptocurrency ADA, we must set our stops and calculate the liquidation amount, let's calculate the liquidation amount in order, to
do this, we click on the calculator on the right side, finance kindly calculates the liquidation price for us, all we need is to write our data, isolated mode, long shoulders, I will choose 5x, write how much I will buy
the quantity for, and yes, since I have 10 dollars, and 5x, I will be able to buy 50  The liquidation price is when it will cost 73 cents per piece. If, for example, you select 50x leverage, the liquidation price will be 92 cents. Now you
can clearly see a deviation of 1 cent and I am liquidated. Unlike margin trading, to open a position we do not need to take out loans. We just select the isolated mode. Our leverage is the higher the leverage I select, the more
available amd for purchase. I will select 5x leverage, then I write the quantity of 50 pieces. Another important point is to always set a stop loss and take profit. This will help us fix our position in time even if we are not at the
computer. Take profit is the fixing of profit. Let's say we have a clear target: when it reaches 1 dollar, finance will automatically fix our profit, or the stop loss will be an error. It will fix our losses. That is, our position will
automatically close when the price reaches 80 cents. We select the market and click buy wang. In the order history, we see that my position is filled, and both take profit and stop loss are  By the way, they cost a loss because Ben lends cryptocurrency there.
insignificant, but if you want to learn more about commissions, watch this make your commission minimal, but I'll tell you one life hack now. If you haven't registered yet, then
follow the link in the description, register and get a 5 percent futures. This is a very cool bonus that will help you save right from the start. To close positions, go to positions, close all positions, and you
positions, close all positions, and you can separately close a stop loss or take profit wallet. Select the arrows next to the calculator, change the futures to a decline, and
convenient as possible. Let's summarize. In this video, I didn't tell you the trading principle itself. My goal was to show beginners how the trading terminal works, tell them about the most important points, how to deposit and withdraw money from a spot
wallet, in general, everything you need to get started. Of course, I understand that this knowledge is not enough to make money on cryptocurrency, and the video is not  I want to do it for 1 hour. If I can say that the main task is completed, I've analyzed the most useful
tools. Now anyone who hears about Been An for the first time can registration and move on to trading futures. After you fully understand how this exchange works, it's important to understand how to make money on it, and therefore
