## Summary

This video is a comprehensive beginner's guide to cryptocurrency futures trading on Binance. It covers the theoretical differences between spot and futures markets, explains leverage and its risks, and provides a step-by-step walkthrough of depositing funds, placing trades, and using order types like limit, market, and stop-loss.

### Key Points

- **Introduction to Futures Trading** [00:02] — The video aims to demystify cryptocurrency futures trading for beginners, covering everything from theory to practical steps on Binance.
- **Creating a Binance Account** [01:24] — Recommend creating a Binance account via the channel link for fee discounts and bonuses. Verify documents and change language to Portuguese (Portugal) to access futures.
- **Spot vs Futures Market** [02:57] — In spot market, you buy actual cryptocurrency and profit from price increases. In futures, you trade derivatives, can profit from both rises and falls, and use leverage.
- **What is Leverage** [06:22] — Leverage is a loan from the broker that multiplies your position size. Example: with 10x leverage, a 10% price move results in 100% gain or loss of your capital.
- **Real Trade Example with 50x Leverage** [11:18] — Shows a real trade with 50x leverage: $548 capital controlled $27,400 position. A 3% price increase yielded $835 profit (152% return on capital).
- **Step-by-Step: Depositing and Transferring Funds** [17:20] — Deposit BRL via Pix on Binance, buy USDT in spot market, then transfer USDT to futures wallet.
- **Futures Dashboard Overview** [20:22] — Explains the futures interface: market info, chart (recommends TradingView), order book, and trading panel with leverage and order type options.
- **Order Types: Limit, Market, Stop Loss** [23:05] — Limit order sets entry price; market order executes immediately. Stop Loss automatically closes trade at a loss to protect capital.
- **Isolated vs Cross Margin** [29:20] — Isolated margin limits risk to the trade's capital. Cross margin uses entire futures account balance as collateral, delaying liquidation but risking all funds.

### Conclusion

The video provides a thorough foundation for beginners to understand and start futures trading on Binance, emphasizing risk management through stop losses and proper margin mode selection.

R$2, you can make money with cryptocurrencies, whether by investing in cryptocurrencies or trading within the seems very complicated because when you look at this screen here, there are
a lot of functions, a lot of charts, a lot of numbers. It seems very confusing, but don't worry, I'm going to explain everything from beginners who want to start and do n't know anything, so I'm going to
explain everything from how the Binance futures market works in theory, the the spot market, in short, everything you need to know about how it works in theory and the brokerage, trade within the brokerage, deposit, withdraw, make trades, and all the
don't be scared, I know it seems very complicated at first, but you'll see that it's very easy and simple, and I guarantee that by the end of Since this will be a long video, basically in one lesson there will be...
you can use it to guide yourself. If you want to watch this in parts, pause for a moment, come back later, and continue, chapter index. Or you can go straight to the part that interests you most
I'll explain everything here. Okay? So, look at the description; it has the chapter index for this video. So let's What is the futures market? How does it work? And how to trade? First, to
enter the futures market, you need an account with a broker. I recommend creating an account on Binance. I'll leave the Binance link channel link, you get a discount on your fees; you literally pay
channel because you help the channel, and you participate in various prizes that the broker gives to those who subscribe through me. So create your account, send your documents, verify your
account, and after you create your Binance account...  This is the Here we have the Spot market trade, and here are other functions. What we'll here: Spot market trade. And we have to go to the futures market. When
you have to go up here in the upper right corner and change the language from Brazilian Portuguese to Portuguese from Portugal. Why do you have to do this? Because the futures market cannot be offered within Brazil.
Brazil, and that's why you have to change the language to Portuguese from Portugal. Don't worry about this alert here; it's not a crime to operate in the futures market. This has been here for over two years, and anyway, it's just an alert for the broker. So, it's very
in the description, verify the documents, enter Binance, and change the language to you change the language to access the futures market, you have to do the here. Don't worry about it; there's no need to be afraid. There's a video here where I
explain what this alert is, and then you come here.  Okay, in futures, and here, look, USDM futures, right? Contracts settled in USDT. So what we're going to use here initially is this: spot market and futures market. So
is the futures market? What's the difference between the futures market and the cryptocurrency market, basically the spot market, right? So when you see someone say spot market or spot market, we're talking about the
cryptocurrency and it's yours. You buy belongs to you. So I can come here to Binance, come here to the spot market, trade the spot market, and here, look, there's Bitcoin, there are several cryptocurrencies here. So here
we can buy the cryptocurrency and it belongs to us, right? It stays with us. It's ours, and basically your gains will be proportional to the positive variation of this asset, right? And it will also be proportional to the money you
have. So in a very simple way, let's imagine Bitcoin. Let's suppose you you buy R$1,000 in the spot market, this Bitcoin is yours.  So, this fraction of Bitcoin is yours. You buy a piece of Bitcoin, and that piece of Bitcoin
exchange. But you can transfer it from the exchange account to a anywhere else. So, if you bought one Bitcoin at the current price, which is R$ 42.29, then you bought R$1,000 worth of Bitcoin, you bought a fraction of Bitcoin. If
Bitcoin, you bought a fraction of Bitcoin. If Bitcoin goes up 10%, right, to R$ 46,000, you will earn 10% on that fraction of Bitcoin you have. So you have R$1,000, it went up 10%, you will have R$1,100, right? It will
appreciate by R$1, which is 10% of your R$ 1,000. So basically, in the spot market, you buy cryptocurrency, and it's yours, it's in your wallet. If it appreciates, you win. And if it depreciates, you will lose money. In fact, you only lose money
from the moment you sell. So, cryptocurrency can depreciate and then recover.  The price is rising again, and you can expect it to this cryptocurrency. So this is the traditional market, the spot market.
spot market, it means buying a cryptocurrency and it becomes yours, it belongs to you. Gains and losses are proportional to the variation of that cryptocurrency. I'm analyzing this on is the site we use to analyze cryptocurrencies. I'll leave the
want to analyze it, because we usually analyze here on But within the exchange there's also a chart for you to analyze, so I'll below so you can create your account on both. But what's the difference between the
or derivatives market, where we do leveraged trading? So when we say leveraged trading, we're talking about the futures market. Basically, you don't buy or sell any cryptocurrency within the
cryptocurrency within the futures market will be a derivative of Bitcoin, of the real price of Bitcoin. So here's the chart.  This is the Bitcoin futures market chart, right? Here's the daily chart from TradingView, so you can see it
's exactly the same chart, right? The chart is exactly the same. However, when you make a trade within the futures market, you're not buying Bitcoin, and that doesn't belong to you. Within the futures market, there are several
cryptocurrencies, not just Bitcoin, but several other popular coins on the market. So you can trade within the futures market in various cryptocurrencies. Basically, in the futures market, you can speculate on the rise or fall of
You can either say it will go up, to profit from it, or that it will go down. So the main difference in this market is a function called leverage is. You'll understand in a very simple way; pay attention.
subject. What is leverage? Basically, leverage is a kind of loan from the broker. You can trade not only with your own money but also with lends you. So you can make both a buy and a
sell trade with the broker's money. You can use the option...  Leverage, which is this option here, allows you to adjust your leverage to multiply your capital and operate within the brokerage, but with the brokerage's money. In the
futures market, you basically have two options: you have the long option, which is this function here, buying long, and you have the short option, which is selling short. So when we say "going long" or "going long," as people
say, we're talking about making a trade saying that Bitcoin, or any asset you're entering, will go up. So, "I'm long," "long," "long," " up," you're saying that the currency will rise. And "short," or "going short,"
like "I went short on Bitcoin," means they're betting on Bitcoin falling. And if Bitcoin falls from the price they defined, they 'll make a profit on that Bitcoin fall. So, that's the
and the futures market, because in the spot market you profit from the appreciation, and in the futures market you speculate on both the rise and fall of the asset. But there's the possibility of leverage, right? What is leverage and how does it
work? A very important observation is that...  In the futures market, we trade assets in USDT pairs. So, to trade in the cryptocurrency futures market, you have to buy SDT. Basically, SDT is a kind of
digital dollar; it's like a dollar, but in cryptocurrency form. So, deposit—I'll show you how to do this—you deposit into the brokerage and buy SDT. For example, if you want to deposit R$1, R$1, basically with the
dollar today at R$5, will be equivalent to $2. So, everything here is based on dollar pairing. You can earn in dollars, but how can you most people, including me, trade more in the futures market than
in the spot market? Because of leverage. Because basically, in the spot market, if you buy R$1,000 ( basically R$200) worth of Bitcoin, and Bitcoin goes up 10%, you'll earn 10% on your R$1,000. So, you
bought Bitcoin in the spot market, and it went up 10%, you had a 10% return.  However, following: imagine I make an entry with R$1,000, right? I put R$1,000
betting on the rise of Bitcoin, saying that Bitcoin will go up, and then I use 10x leverage. This means that my entry will actually be multiplied by 10. So my R$1,000, instead of
were buying the equivalent of R$ multiply by 10, when I use leverage times 10, basically the multiplies it by 10. So, for example, I have $3 here in my account, which is
almost R$1,000. If I take this and put the total, right? Try to make with 10x leverage, you see below the cost I will have to open an operation, right? $3 there.  182, and here's how much I'm going to
$3 there.  182, and here's how much I'm going to buy, right? With 182, I'm going to buy R$800. So basically, I'm going to buy 10 times the value I have here in my account, which would be buying R$1,000 in Bitcoin. And now, instead of having gains and
losses on my R$1,000, I'm going to have gains and losses on R$10,000. So my gains and losses will be proportional to R$1,000. If the market goes proportional to R$1,000. If the market goes up 10%, you'll gain 10% of the R$10,000.
So 10% of the R$10,000, which is what I put into the operation, will be equivalent to 100% of my capital invested in the operation because 10% of R$10,000 equals R$ 1,000. So leverage is basically borrowing money from the
broker to leverage the purchase of an asset, leaving your money as collateral. So, in the same example, I arrived at the same price here and bought R$1,000 worth of Bitcoin, but in reality...  I put in R$1,000 and multiplied it by 10, so the price went
up 10%. I'm earning 10% of the $10,000, so I'll earn R$1,000. same way, I'm talking about a buy operation. If the market goes down and depreciates by 10%, I'll lose 10% of the R$
10,000. I'll lose all the money from my operation, I'll zero out the capital. Basically, you're liquidated, so your capital remains as collateral for this loan. You earn proportionally to your leverage of R$10,000 and lose
proportionally to your leverage of R$10,000. Following the example here, in the same way, if the market goes down 10%, you lose 10%, which is equal to R$ 1,000. You would basically lose all your money and be liquidated. So,
being liquidated means losing all the money from the operation, all the money from the account. when the operation is...  When you open an account, you pay some fees, basically every make a video about fees later, but I think you understand. So, I'll
Bitcoin transaction I made. Look at this transaction here. I did it on my phone. This margin, the SDT, is the total I put into the transaction. I put in 548, and here, you see this 50x? I multiplied my capital by 50 times.
So, I took 50 times the value I had, right? I multiplied my capital by you can even do it up to 100 times, and I don't recommend that. It's possibility the market gives you. If you have, for example, R$1,000,
Henrique, I want to multiply it by 100. Okay, you're going to enter a transaction as if you had R$100,000. And then, like, the price goes up 1%, right? 1% of R$100,000 is R$ 1,000, basically for every 1% that the market goes up.  You'll earn 100% of the
you put in. So you entered here, the market went up 7%, let's say 88%. 88% of R$100,000 is R$8,000. So you can put in R$1,000 and with the small variation you can
make a lot of money. But the same thing works in reverse; if you're wrong on the trade and the price is 1%, you lose all your money. So you leverage calculation works. Basically, you 'll have gains and losses proportional to
So I'll give you an example here. This was done on my cell phone, but look, this is a real operation. I put in 548 and multiplied it by 50, so and multiplied it by 50, so 548 x 50 gives a total of 27,400. You see
here, there's 27,444, meaning I'm in the operation as if I had 27,000. So let's see, the dollar today... I put in R$548, right? R$700. But I'm
operating as if I had a total of R$ 27,400, meaning it was as if I had R$135,000 in the operation. So I'll give you a practical example here, look, here's my entry price, which is 60,200. So when Bitcoin was at 60,200, let me
one-day Bitcoin chart, so when it was at 60,200, look at this little line here, which is the price of 60,200, I entered the operation, and at the moment at 6,628. So the market went up this much,
6,628. So the market went up this much, more or less here,
62,780, 547. But I gained 3% of 27,000, so 27,000 x 3% approximately, 822. So here's my profit, 835.  So I was earning 835, which is equivalent to 152 of my operation's capital, right? This
is my return on investment. So this is Telazol, right? I'm going to show you. I'll take this 183 here and put a leverage of everything in practice, like opening an operation. But look,
the money I put into the operation, and here is when I'm profiting and losing. I'll close this here and explain it in a moment, right? All this layout here from the the futures market works, right? You borrow
multiply your capital, and the risk you have with the brokerage is equivalent to how much you leverage. So here's the example, right? The price only went up 3%, but with 3% I basically earned more than 100% of my capital. If I had
$48 and earned 3%, let's see how much I would earn times 3%, I would earn 166. So instead of...  "Earning 16 here in the Bitcoin fluctuation, I'm simply earning Bitcoin fluctuation, I'm simply earning
not to treat this like a casino because when you see the possibility of borrowing money, you get excited and start doing miraculous calculations in can put in R$1,100 and buy a Bitcoin with 100,000, right? You can
make a 100,000 long position in Bitcoin. So calm down, calm down, because this it can give you a lot of money and it can take a lot of money away from you. But I with this? How do I know if the price will go up or down so I can
buy or sell operation? Long is a buy operation; if I clicked sell here, short would be a sell operation. Everything that Bitcoin depreciates, I would profit from. So I can open a sell position in Bitcoin, so even with the price
falling, you can profit within the market because you..."  "You're betting on explain everything step by step about leverage, everything you need to know There are strategies for every type of leverage. But Henrique, how do
I know if the price will go up or down? Well, to understand this, to need to learn and master technical analysis. Henrique, how do I learn and master technical analysis? Here on my channel there's a video that I doubt, I
doubt you'll ever leave it. So this video here, technical analysis, it will be in the everything in detail in a 30- minute video about how you read the
chart. In short, everything will be here and the link to the video will be below. So this video here is worth more than many serious courses. Watch it, there's no understand this. And avoid signal rooms, avoid depending on
others who send signals. You want to learn to do things on your own, but how do I learn this?"  First, watch my video, and channel. You'll have more than 15 minutes here with me, you'll be learning and studying. And
when you subscribe to this channel and like the video, share it, it gives me more motivation to continue creating videos and content like this subscribe to the channel, it costs nothing, you wo n't pay anything, you'll only be helping me
a whole playlist here about futures markets, technical analysis, and futures markets for beginners. Watch it, subscribe here, and invest in courses, materials, and mentorships—everything you need.  Okay, Henrique, I don't have any
ask this. If I have any open courses right now, there will be waiting list. Just click below. So, if I have any courses available now, just click the link below, and there will be some links here,
and you'll know if it's open or not. But Henrique, I understand all the theory, we enter the futures market? I didn't mention it. First thing, create an account on Binance account. The link will be in the description. By signing up through the link in the description, you
get a discount on your fees, help this channel, and also compete for several bonuses that Binance sends to people who are registered through this link. So you don't pay anything extra, you even win for it, and you help this channel continue to
anything extra for it. Use the channel link. Okay, you created an account, you entered Binance, come here as I said and change the language from Portuguese to Portuguese (Portugal). Portugal), come here to the futures market, click here on USDM futures, and okay, the
first thing you have to do is... Depositing funds, as I told you, to operate in the futures market is all in USDT, which is the digital dollar. How do you deposit, Henrique? Simple, go to the Binance homepage, go back to the
homepage, deposit here, deposit, bank deposit, then you choose your currency, BRL (which is real), and deposit your reais here via Pix. It's basically instant. So, once you've deposited, what you're going to do is
buy digital dollars, which is SDT. So, once you've deposited, what do I do now? Go to the Spot market, which is a market where you buy you're going to look here at the top, you're going to look here, top
going to look here, top right corner, USDT BRL, which is basically exchanging dollars for reais or reais for dollars. So you go here, SDT BRL, available here in BRL, here I don't have anything available, and you're going to buy.
So you're going to buy the SDT, digital dollar with BRL. Once you buy, okay, I bought it, Henrique. What's the next step? After you buy the SDT with your reais...  These USDT, these digital dollars, will be converted into
you sell them; you sell the SDT, and when you profit here, you profit in dollars. You sell the SDT in this same tab to exchange it for BRL. After you deposit, you'll do the following: you'll change the language, come here to futures, and you
see here, the camera is at the top right corner, this top right corner next to the name " available," right? Here it's already available for me. You'll click here, below the name "market limit," here, you'll
click on these two little arrows here below, and here is "Fiat spot," which is where your account is, right? Where your money is for USDM futures. So here it shows how little bit of money here to trade, and here your available balance will appear.
you want to transfer. I'm going to transfer futures account, so I click here to confirm, and boom, the money will go from my spot account to my futures market account. So, I now have
84 in my account.  Okay, so you deposited in reais, converted it to SDT, and transferred it to your futures market account. Now let's present the entire futures market dashboard. What is this? How does it work?
enter the futures market, you look at this screen and it seems very confusing, lots of first information you see here is market information, right? The variation of Bitcoin, EU, and other cryptocurrencies. Up here is
so BTC. If I want to add another asset, I come here and add any other cryptocurrency, like, "ah, it's ETH," press here and type ETH. You see that it's all bar USDT, so the SDT is all paired with the dollar. So basically, here's
you're going to trade, and here's the financing rate, right? As I said, there's a cost to keep the operation open; you pay a small fee there to leverage the money with the broker. And here's the market variation,
right? Market information. Jumping to this graph down here, we have the trading chart, so we have the trading tools.  Here, right? Trading tools, time charts for you to analyze, but we don't trade
looking at this. We go to TradingView and we use you've made the markings here, and you refresh the page, everything will appear in TradingView. For example, "I put a mark, an action, a trend line
account. So you can go back later and your markings will be here. So this we don't use this. We use here in TradingView, in the Basically, this shows the people who are buying and selling Bitcoin,
making buy and sell operations at this moment. And here we have the price they traded, right? Up here is who sold, down here is who bought, and here is how much the person is trading. So there are people with 50,000,000,000,
so all the orders pass through here, right? Buyers and sellers. So when the orders cross, the trade happens. And here in the right corner is where we put the...  Okay, so we're going to enter the price here, we'll set whether it's a
buy or a sell. Hold on, we'll go into every detail. So, I've already shown the order book here. We buy or sell the fall. Here we have a very important option, which is this option here:
isolation and crossover. This is very important. I'll leave this you can't trade without knowing what this is. On the right side, you can leverage up to 100 times, which I don't recommend you do. But
If I'm not mistaken, Binance limits it on new accounts, so if your account more than 20 times. At least that's how it used to be. The leverage I mentioned is here. There's a complete video about
leverage here explaining every detail, so if you're confused about leverage will also be below. Okay, let's go. Henrique, I entered the we do is, my recommendation is always to leave this in isolation, and
this isolation or crossover mode is. And here you've chosen your leverage, five times. What is this limit? Basically, the limit is when you define the price at which you will enter the operation. So, for example, Bitcoin is now at
42.15. Let's suppose I want to buy Bitcoin, to make a long Bitcoin, to make a long buy operation. When Bitcoin reaches 40.00, here to 4.000 and I want to put all my
money here, right? Times 5. I put 984 here and I will be buying the equivalent of 4.900 in Bitcoin. So I put here to buy long, and well, when I the limit appeared here. This is my order waiting to be executed. Bitcoin is
now at 421141. As long as the price of Bitcoin does not reach 40.000, this order will not be executed. So the trade stays there. You can program your trade, right? I programmed the trade, and when...  When the price
40,000, the order will be executed automatically, and I will is always when you define the price you want to enter the trade. I'll cancel my order here in open orders. I'll come here and cancel
market order basically means you're going to enter right now, exactly at the current price. So, for example, Bitcoin, I'm going to go down to a minutes, here's the 15-minute timeframe so we can see better. I want to enter right
my capital here, I put all the capital here, and I made a market purchase. Ready, automatically, I've already entered a trade here. I have 891 in buy positions, so I put 978, but in reality, I have almost
5,000, which is five times this value here. So, a limit order is basically when you define the price, and a market order is when you enter automatically. I'm going to press market to close at the current price.  Okay, so I click here, the
operation is closed, and it's been closed. There's another function here, which is this Limit Stop, right? It's not showing up here, so what is a Stop Loss? A Stop Loss is an automatic order to close the operation when the
So I'll give you a very clear example. Let's suppose I want to enter Bitcoin at 0.000, I want to put all my capital in, but I want that when Bitcoin, right? If Bitcoin reaches 40,000, I'm
long position. If it reaches 40,000 and continues falling, right? If it falls to 40,000 and then, I don't know, to 39,000, then I'll put here, 39,000. So, a buy position will automatically be placed here, a Stop Loss order. When this operation is
opened, right? A buy operation is opened at 40,000. If the price goes down, automatically to 39,000 the operation will be closed. I don't like to open So, the operation is like this: I go to market, I
operation, right? I define my Stop Loss. So, I entered the market here, and I prefer to go to the right corner, right? You drag here, you go to the right corner, there's TPSL, which is basically Take Profit or Stop Loss. So here I
would put Stop Loss at 39,000. So when Bitcoin reaches 39,000, I want my operation to be closed at a loss so I don't lose I can lose all my capital if Bitcoin reaches 39,000, I will lose
365. And here I can also place my profit-taking order. So if I deliver 40,000 hoping the price will rise, if Bitcoin reaches, say, 50,000, if it reaches 50,000, I will gain
889. So here, right? I prefer to put here your profit and will gain in the operation and...  How much will you lose? You press confirm, and it automatically appears there. If either of the two is reached, the
other will be canceled. So, if my profit order is reached, this operation here, this Stop Loss, will be canceled. Or, if the operation reaches profit-taking operation is closed. So, I open the operation and
then I place my Stop Loss. So, Stop L is an automatic order to close the operation at a loss. I'm going to close this operation at market price, right? And that's okay. So, Stop L serves to protect your operation, right?
only want to lose 300." So you place a Stop Loss so that when you go 300 negative, you are automatically liquidated, right? Liquidated? No, you are stopped out, right? Liquidation is losing everything and you exit the operation. Regarding leverage,
new accounts may be limited in leverage, so maybe you won't recommend you do that. And the higher the leverage, the shorter the the more leveraged you are...  It's riskier for you to stay because you win and
lose as if you had that leveraged value. So I'll give you an approximate average of how much the price needs to fluctuate for you to be liquidated. If you enter the futures market with a 5x operation, right? You saw here, you put in 5x. If the price
drops 20%, you are liquidated because, stop and think, the calculation is quite simple, right? You have R$2,000. Then you multiply by 5, meaning you have R$10,000. If the market you have R$10,000. If the market drops less than 20%, you lose R$
2,000 from the operation. So you are automatically liquidated. That's how you calculate how much variation you need to be conversely, if the price rises 20%, with five times leverage
you gain 100% of your capital. So, five times leverage is 20%, you are liquidated. 10 times leverage is 10%, you are liquidated against your position if you are buying. If it goes down... If you're shorting, you're liquidated if it goes up
10%, that's 20 times leverage, 5% variation, or 50 x 2%. Basically, you invest R$1,000 and it becomes R$50,000, and for every 2% that double your capital, which would be R$ 2,000. If you
started with R$1,000, you're at R$50,000. A 2% increase means you gain another R$1,000, or a 2% decrease means you lose the money from your trade. And 100 times leverage is 1%, and Binance offers this option up to 125 times leverage, which is 0.5 per liter. So this is a little table to
guide you. Every time you leverage 10 times, if the price drops 10%, works. But that's why we put in a stop loss, so we don't lose all our money on the trade. And here's the key point, the thing that's extremely
important, right? Which is the type of trade: isolated or crossover. What extremely important. Basically, when you're in an isolated trade, you only use the money you put
do an isolated trade here. I put this here, see? I'll do it with 30% of my capital, which is 287. So, 287. I'll be buying 1400. I'm doing a buy trade, I'm leveraged five times. If the market drops 20%, right? And I get liquidated,
only this money from the trade here will be lost. However, let me close the trade. But if I trade in crossover mode, you'll use your trade money plus your account balance as collateral. You put
your account money at risk, but only from futures accounts, not spot accounts. basically, the crossover method serves to increase the distance to example here. Imagine you make a trade, right? You have a balance
of $2,000 in your account, and you make an entry with $0.00. So you entered with $1,000, making a leverage of 10, right? You entered with $10,000 in the trade with a long position. We know that for a leverage of 10 times, if the
price goes up 10%, we lose all the capital, and if it goes up 10%, we double our capital. The size of the position, right, of the trade, will be $10,000. So, a 10% upward variation means you'll gain 100% of your capital, which is $1,000, because
you're gaining 10% of that $ 10,000 position. However, if you lose, right? The price falls and you lose 10%, you lose 10% of the $10,000, which would be $0.00; you lose all of it.  The capital of that operation. However, you don't exit the operation;
you continue in the operation. In the case of an crossover mode, in a crossover position. If the price drops 10%, you will be 100% negative, you will lose 100% of the capital. However, you continue in the operation,
and it will start consuming the money from your account. So, let me put a this operation here. I'm going to put a crossover operation here. Okay, I'm going to go to crossover. I'm going to $50 buy, hold, long. Okay, I'm in the operation. If I'm in crossover mode,
since I'm leveraged five times, if the price drops 20%, I will lose continue in the operation, and this money here in the account will be used to keep you in the operation. So, in a very simple way, the price would need to
drop another 10% in this example to liquidate your R$1,000, your $1,000 in this case. So, if you have $1,000 in the operation and...  $1,000 in your account will drop 10%, you will lose $1,000. The price would need to drop another 10% for you to
lose the other $0,000 from your account. In other words, even with 10x leverage, you would have to take a 20% loss against your position to lose all the capital in your account, both from the trade and the
account. So the price would need to drop not 10%, but 20%. part of the money in the trade and part in the account as collateral. This is extremely important. Be very careful when opening trades here; always
open in an isolated position, always pay attention to this because if you place the wrong trade and it's in a crossover, if the market suddenly drops drastically, you the money in your account as well. So this is extremely important.
