It explains how futures differ from spot trading, the role of leverage, and three types of analysis (technical, fundamental, sentiment). The creator then demonstrates opening a live short position with $1,100 and shows the results after 40 hours. ### Key Points - **Futures vs Spot Trading** [00:55] — Futures allow you to profit from both rising (long) and falling (short) markets, unlike spot trading which only profits from price increases. - **Leverage Amplifies Gains and Losses** [01:36] — Leverage multiplies your trading capital; Binance offers up to 125x. With 10x leverage, a 1% price move results in a 10% gain or loss. - **Bollinger Bands for Entry Signals** [04:51] — Bollinger Bands consist of upper, middle, and lower bands. When price touches the upper band, it may be overbought (short signal); lower band may be oversold (long signal). Narrow bands indicate low volatility and potential breakout. - **Fundamental and Sentiment Analysis** [06:41] — Fundamental analysis for Bitcoin includes market cap ($2.34T), max supply (21M), and ETF inflows. Sentiment analysis uses tools like Fear & Greed Index and Google Trends. - **Isolated vs Cross Margin** [12:06] — Isolated margin only risks the amount in that trade; cross margin uses entire futures balance as collateral. The video recommends isolated margin for safety. - **Order Types and Risk Management** [14:04] — A limit order sets a specific entry price; a market order executes at current price. Take-profit and stop-loss automate exit at target prices. - **Live Trade Results: $155 Profit in 40 Hours** [17:48] — Opened a short position with 10x leverage at $117,642. After 40 hours, Bitcoin fell to $115,918, yielding a profit of $155 (14.7% on margin). - **Fee Structure and Discounts** [19:15] — Maker fees: 0.02%; taker fees: 0.05%. Paying fees in BNB gives a 10% discount. Higher volume (VIP levels) reduces fees further. - **Risk Management Tips** [20:08] — Use Binance's testnet to practice with virtual funds. Only trade with money you can afford to lose. ## Transcript try to make money on Binance by trading futures. I'll explain the topic of futures to you step by step. We'll see what kind of analysis you can do. Then we will open a position with $1,000 of our capital and then return after 24 hours to show you the results. Without further ado , let's begin. First, let's look at how futures work. And for this, it is essential to understand how spot trading works. For a simple example that everyone can understand, let's assume that Bitcoin is worth $100,000 today. And for simple terms, let's assume that we also have $100,000 to invest. If I buy a Bitcoin today for $100,000, I only make money if that Bitcoin goes up in price. If it goes up that Bitcoin goes up in price. If it goes up 1% and reaches $101,000, I would be earning $1,000. That's it and there's nothing more, but futures trading works a little differently. With this, you can make money if the market moves in both directions. If you think it's going to go up, you can place a long order. And if you think it's going to fall, you can place a short order . If you guess correctly in this prediction, you will win money, and if you guess incorrectly, you will lose money. Let's look at an example. If at this price of $100,000 Bitcoin seems very expensive to me and I think that this price may already fall, go down, what I can do instead of buying it in futures, is open a short position with open a short position with those $100,000. If it drops 1% and reaches 99,000, I would be earning 1%, which would be $1,000. But wait, earning would be $1,000. But wait, earning only 1% on $100,000 isn't that interesting. This is where another key factor in futures comes in, and that is leverage. This is a tool that allows you to trade with more money than you actually have. With this tool in vainance you can leverage up to 1:125, meaning that you can multiply each dollar by 125. Let's continue with the same example of $100,000, opening a short position , but this time we're going to add 10x leverage. If Bitcoin falls by 1% and goes from 100,000 to 99,000, instead of only earning 1% which would be 1000, we would now be multiplying our earnings by 10, so we would already be earning $10,000. But the opposite can also happen if in that same operation the price goes against me and instead of falling Bitcoin rises by 1%, my losses would also multiply by 10 and then we would be losing $10,000. In short, futures allow you to trade in both directions, and leverage amplifies both positive and negative results. Trading futures is like trading on steroids. You can make or lose money pretty quickly. That's why you should be cautious with this tool and only operate with money you are prepared to lose. As you may have noticed, the secret to making money with futures is having a magic ball that tells us where the market is going to move. In the crypto world, the closest thing to having a crystal ball is doing good talk to you about the types of analysis you can do. There are mainly three types of analysis you can do, and you can even combine them to get a more complete view. These are technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and sentiment analysis. Let's begin with the technical analysis. This is based on studying historical price movements to try to predict future movements. If in your app you go to the futures section show you the Bitcoin and Ethereum chart, which is exactly the chart the price of Bitcoin has been behaving using Japanese candlesticks. Each of these candles represents the price movement over a specific time. You can look at the price movement on a 15-minute timeframe, you can even look at it by the hour and also by the day, which is just how I'm looking at it right now, which means that each of these candles represents one day. These candles represent both the highest price and the lowest price. If the candle is red, the price fell during that time period. If the candle is green, that means the price went up. And below you'll find some indicators that Vinance will show you to help you with your technical analysis. You can make this analysis as simple or as complex as you want. You can use only one indicator or you can even use several. For the purposes of this video, I'm going to show you how this indicator works. The Bollinger Band. In Spanish it's Bollinger Bands. This tool is used to measure volatility and detect possible overbought and oversold zones. This works as follows. It is made up of three lines, as you can see. The top band you see here, this yellow line, marks the expected upper limit of the price, while the middle band in pink, which I'm marking right now, was following the cryptocurrency price, the market price, while the bottom band in purple marks the expected lower limit of the price. You can interpret this indicator in the following way. When the asset approaches the upper band, as it has surpassed here, near $124,000, that means the asset may be overbought and may have a correction. When the price approaches the upper band, that could be an opportunity to place a short futures order, predicting that it will fall. On the other hand, when the price touches or approaches the lower band, this could be an opportunity to place a buy order, predicting that Bitcoin will rise. Also, when you see the bands coming together as they narrow, like here, that means there is low volatility and it could have a strong breakout in either direction. On the other hand, when the bands expand as in these points or even right now, it means there is high volatility and the aggressively. This indicator, like any other, is not infallible, but many traders use it to detect entries in certain ranges. Now I want to talk to you about another type of analysis, and that is fundamental analysis, which is evaluating the real value of an asset based on internal and external factors. For example, in the traditional world like the stock market, financial statements are used, and some other metrics are used in the crypto world. To determine the true value of Bitcoin, we use the following metrics. To worthwhile, we can look at its information and, for example, its market capitalization. Currently, this figure is 2.34 trillion. You can assess whether this is worthwhile by comparing the capitalization to that of other assets. For example, in terms of the world's most valuable assets, Bitcoin ranks seventh, behind a giant like Amazon. The behind a giant like Amazon. The most valuable asset is gold with 22.7 trillion. For Bitcoin to catch up to gold, it would have to multiply by 10. Another thing you could evaluate is toconomics. So, how many bitcoins will we have in circulation? The maximum supply will be 21,000,000es. Currently, 19.9 are in circulation. It's almost complete. becoming digital gold, and that's what's making its value proposition. Something else we could look at is how much adoption this asset has. For example, if we look at ETFs, which are investment instruments in the United States where large investors can invest significant capital, if we look at their chart for the last 30 days, the green bars represent money coming in and the red bars represent money going out. You can see if people are currently bullish or bearish. Another analysis you can do is sentiment analysis. This measures the emotional state of the market to anticipate impulsive movements. For that type of analysis, we can look at indicators like this one called fear and greed. Currently it is neutral, meaning that people are neither afraid nor confident, they are in the middle. But if this little dot is moving to the are afraid. And if it moves to the greedy. Another indicator could be share our Telegram channel with you. I invite you to join, as we also share information about what's happening day by day in the crypto world and occasionally hold giveaways. You can also join platforms like X, which used to be called Twitter. For example, I follow some people or several accounts here that publish content or do cryptocurrency analysis. I follow several accounts here to stay up to date and see how the market is behaving , what people's feelings are . You can also use other tools such as Google Trends. And here you simply search for Bitcoin and here you can see how much interest people have right now in the word Bitcoin. You can view it by country or you can leave it in global mode to view it worldwide. You can also look by time period, let's say, I want to look at the last 30 days. And around the world, searches for the word Bitcoin are on the rise. This means that more people are becoming interested. This type of analysis is quite important because in the crypto world, prices, both up and down, are driven by news, rumors, hype, fear, greed, and all that stuff. But here I want you to understand one thing. You can use all the metrics in the world, do all kinds of analysis, and still be wrong. Analyses are not the absolute truth; they are simply some tools we have at hand to give us an idea of ​​where the market might be going, but it doesn't mean that it will happen. Once we understand all of this, let's look at how to use futures here on Binance. If for some reason you don't yet have an account and you're finding value in this video, I simply ask that to create or reactivate your account. In return, you'll get a $100 coupon to pay commissions and you'll also get a 20% discount on commissions for life. That 20% can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars if you plan to use financing long- term. Now let's look at how to open a position in futures. Once your account is ready, you'll probably be on the click here on the Binance icon, and then click on the section that says Binance Pro. This is the most complete version with all the features. Then you go to the assets section and the money to trade futures has to be in that section that says futures. At the moment I do n't have any capital, so if I go to spot, this is where I have the UST, what I'm going to do is click on transfer and I'm going to transfer the money from the Spot account to this one that says USDM Futures. I choose the cryptocurrency which will be USD and to operate I will transfer 1100 USDT and confirm the transfer. Now we futures account. Next, we'll go to this section I made for futures, and here, by default, I have the UST as the base currency. If you wanted to trade with other types of cryptocurrencies, I would give you Coin, but most people trade with UST, so we'll leave it in USD. Next, we need to select the pair we want to trade. Here are all the available pairs in futures, if you don't find them you can just search for them, but I'm going to leave you with the Bitcoin with UST pair. On this side we will find the order book. We have sales orders in red and purchase orders in green. In the middle you will find the market price that you will find the market price that Bitcoin is currently worth $117,640. Next, we need to choose the margin mode here, and we have two options. One of these is the isolated margin mode. Operating in isolation means that only the amount we place in an order will be at risk. For example, if out of the $1,100 I have, I open a trade with only $100, well, if the price goes against me, I can only lose those $100 if I am liquidated. By the way, I want to clarify that being liquidated here in the future means losing the total amount you place in an order. Then we have another mode which is cross mode. Operating in this mode means that your entire futures balance acts as collateral to avoid liquidations. In other words, if I open that same $100 order, but here I trade cross and I'm about to be liquidated to keep that order open, Binance will take capital from my futures account to keep it open and thus avoid liquidations. This can prevent liquidations, but it can also empty your account. That's why I always oppose futures, I oppose in isolated mode. Thus, only the amount I place in an order is at risk. On this side we have leverage. As I already mentioned, leverage will allow us to trade with more money than you actually have. With it we can boost our profits, but also our potential losses. Here, as I already mentioned, you can leverage up to 1x125, which means that each dollar could be multiplied by 125. For the purposes of this video, I'm going to leave it at 10x. Since I'm leveraging 10 times my available amount , which is 1100 USDT, my buying power will be multiplied by 10. That's why here where it says "max", my why here where it says "max", my maximum buying power is $10,820. Remember that the higher the leverage, the more money you can borrow, but you also run a greater risk of being liquidated. On this side of this little square we have an S and here is the asset modality. I recommend you leave it on UST, just as it is now. And now I'm going to show you the type of order you can place. We mainly have two types of orders. I'm going to show you a limit order. With a limit order you set the exact price at which you want to enter the market. In other words, if I don't want to wait for Bitcoin to fall, for example, to $110,000, I can modify this price and set it to $110,000. And I put here an amount of, let's say , about $1,000 to operate. Of that $1,000 of my capital, I would only be using $99. And if Bitcoin falls to this price, I want to place a long order; I would click " buy" and confirm. And at this moment I would already have this order open, so if Bitcoin falls to this price and then bounces back and goes up, I would be making money. That type of order will be executed as long as the asset falls to the specified price. If it never returns to this price, it will stay there and will never be executed. I'm going to cancel it for now . Now I'm going to show you another type of order that is also very commonly used, and this is a market order. With this type of order you enter the market at the current price, meaning we will be entering right now at $17,000. For that type of order, you simply enter the amount you would like to trade. You can put it in UST or, if you prefer, you can put that amount in Bitcoin. For simplicity and to avoid confusion, I always leave it as UST. I'm going to open an order with the maximum buying power, which is around $10,800, and that's what I'm going to put here. With this order size of my capital, if I want to trade long term, I would be using $0.081. If I want to trade short, I would be using $1,070 of my capital. Here I want to talk to you about another important factor. This is the take profit, and the stop loss, to stop losses. Taking profits or taking losses involves automatic orders that are executed at a set price. Before placing the stop loss, you have to decide whether you are going to trade upwards or downwards. In this video I'm going to trade short. I'm going to place a short sell order predicting that Bitcoin will continue to fall from here. I'm going to set my profit target continue to fall from here. I'm going to set my profit target at $114,000. If it reaches this price, I would be earning $329, which would be 30%, and I want to stop the losses at $12,000, so if it reaches that price, I would be losing close to $400, which would be 37%. After setting those parameters, I click on short selling. And at this moment we already have the order open. What I'm going to do next is pause the video and come back in 24 hours to see how we did. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that today is Saturday, August 16th, at approximately 2:55 pm. Here I'm also showing you what I showed you on the screen. Before showing you the results, I'd like to invite you to our Telegram channel, where we share news and updates about what's happening daily in the crypto world, and we also occasionally hold giveaways. If you're interested in joining leave that link in the description. Well, it's been more than 24 hours, in fact, it's been almost 48. I'm recording this video on Monday the 18th. The reason is that yesterday, Sunday, when I planned to record you, I got busy and couldn't make this video. But anyway , let's look at the results. Below under position you will find the position we we will find the margin, which was the money we used from our capital, which in our case was 1067 USD. Since we used 10X leverage, Since we used 10X leverage, this 1067 USDT was multiplied by 10 and we traded with a position of 10,554 USD. We entered the market when Bitcoin was worth 117,642 and the price at the time of recording this video has not changed much, in fact it fell a little to 15,918, profit of approximately 155 UST in about 40 hours . That . That translates to a percentage of 14.70%. Here it also shows us the liquidation price which is 128,000, which is this money if the price goes against us. But remember, that's not going to happen because here under open orders we place a stop-loss order and a take- profit order. And here it shows us these orders that have not yet been executed. The stop-loss order will be executed at 122,000 and the take-profit order will be executed at 114,000. In my case, I'm already going to lock in this profit of 152 UST. What I'm going to do is click here on close position. Here I can modify it to sell it in a market order or a limit order. What I'm going to do is place a market order and simply click confirm to lock in this profit. And that's it. At this point we have already gained some capital using futures. We used to have $1,100 and now we've ended up with $1,224. I fees. Regarding commissions, if you are a regular user, someone who trades a million units of volume per month of less than 15,000 units, if you are, for example, a maker, that is, someone who helps add liquidity to the market by placing limit orders, those people pay a commission of 0.02%. 02%. But if you are a taker, someone who places market orders by taking liquidity from the market, these people pay a commission of 0.05%. You too can get a 10% discount on fees by paying them at BNB. As I already mentioned, under the futures section you should have this function enabled and also have some BNB there to pay these fees. And you can also become a VIP trader. For example, if your monthly volume is more than 15,000,000, then the commissions will decrease. You can climb up to become a VIP level eight user, who pays a fairly low commission. Finally, I want to remind you that trading futures is a high-risk tool and you should be very careful with it. Therefore, I want to make a couple of recommendations to you. The first thing is that here under this futures section you go to these three points and use simulation trading. This is basically so you can practice without risking your own capital. They'll give you a simulated account, like a fake one, and in fact, Vainas is going to give you 3,000 USDT to practice with. That way you can try it out and see how good or bad it can be. And my second recommendation would be that you trade with money you are willing to lose. In everything you do you will pay the price of learning, but here in futures that price is paid with money. So don't trade with too much capital, and also trade with money you don't use. So I'm going to pods with those benefits in the description. Also, if you have any comments. I always do my best to answer. You'll also see some videos similar to this one here. In this video, I'll show you how I'm doing using the Binance Launch Pool for 30 days. And here I also show you how I did copy trading for those same 30 days.
