This lesson is the first in a series of videos that I will be bringing to this channel. And if you want to receive all the videos first, join our Telegram channel, the link is in the description, because I send it there on Telegram every time I publish a new video, okay? So, the first step is for you to create your account here on Binance, right? You'll create your account there for free, and after verify it, right? Come here and verify your account by sending your documents, which is the KYC process. Then you'll send your documents, and your account will be approved. Let's go. To trade in the futures market, if you're in Brazil, you need to switch to another language, because it doesn't appear here, as you can see. So you're going to come here to this little circle and then you can search here, you can put it in English or Portuguese from Portugal. Put it here, Portuguese from Portugal. It's even easier for us to understand, isn't it, that it's the same Portuguese here. And then when you switch to Portuguese from Portugal, the little menu appears here , see, futures. So you're going to come here, click here, on USDM futures, click here and you'll enter the panel where the operations actually take place. When you access this site for the first time, if I'm not mistaken, they ask you to accept some terms and conditions, etc., okay? And then all you have to do is accept. Here, if to return to the Brazilian page; you click here, " aware and remain." And here you already have access to this dashboard, where you 'll be able to perform operations the first time you access it. I don't quite first time or when you're going to make your first transaction, that's when they ask you to accept all the terms here. Okay, so here you are on this dashboard. This is where you perform the operations. Here, where Bitcoin USDT appears, if you hover your mouse over it, the research campus will appear. the research campus will appear. You can type here, uh, for example, I'll type here, look, XRP. You can type in a specific token you type in a specific token you want to trade, or you can see the ones ranked here, from first to tenth, if you want to trade one of these assets here. Then you just click on the asset and it will pull up the chart, and then you can trade that asset. Here on the side, starting here, you have the order book, which shows the prices and transactions. Here's the chart, the volume, and here's the limit for you to make an entry, if you want to make a limit entry, for example, this limit entry, for example, this asset here, it's at 652. asset here, it's at 652. 652. I can put here that I want to 652. I can put here that I want to enter when it's at 655, limit; I'll put here the percentage of my capital that I'm going to percentage of my capital that I'm going to invest, for example, 25%, okay? So that's basically what the limit is for here. If you want to enter, for example, ah, I want to enter short, but I want to enter here, see, sell, right, that it's sold, but I want to enter when it reaches here at a certain price. Then you put the market price here . If you place a trade here at market price, you'll enter at the exact price it is right now, for example, right now it's 660. So you'll come here, define the total amount you want to enter, the total of your bankroll, and then you'll buy or sell at the market price at that exact moment. There are also other options you can work with here, such as stop-loss limits, etc., but we won't talk about those now; we'll leave that for a future video. Well, if you're going to the limit here as well, another thing you can do here, in TP thing you can do here, in TP and SL, is to set the price here to realize a profit. For example, let's say you're going to enter here, and when it hits 663, you'll enter shorted. So, you want to realize the profit when it hits here, for example, 650, right? You came in here wearing shorts, they're going to lose value. When it hits 650, you want to realize the price. Ah, but if it doesn't depreciate and only appreciates, you can place the stop here, right? So when it hits, for example, 690, you end the operation, okay? This is optional, but you can also put the stop here, just as you can set the profit here, right? When do you want to realize a profit? There are two options up here. There's this cross option here, look. If you click here on it, you can, mark it here. Yes, you can even take your first steps in futures trading right there . Click here to open now, right? Click here, uh, to transact. I 'll leave now. And now, if you click here again on crossword, then these two options will appear here: crossword or isolated. The crux-taking strategy works like this: you have, for example, a balance of 200. You make a cross entry, leaving it here as a cross, you've only put in 25% of your bankroll, but if, for example, you start losing that 25%, it crosses over with the rest of your bankroll and you could lose all your capital. So, ideally you should enter here in isolation, because in isolation, you leave it here in isolation and then when you go to make a trade, if you go with 25%, and lose 25%, it won't consume the rest of your bankroll. Here, in my case, when I try to place it in isolation and click confirm, it gives me this error because I have multiple assets. So, for that, I come here, and then I leave it in single active mode. Then just click here to confirm. And now, yes, I'll be able to come here in cross-tabulation, and then put it in isolation, click confirm. Then I can leave it here in isolation, okay? Ah, if I want to change things here too, I just switch back here to active mode, uh, multiple active modes, right? active mode, uh, multiple active modes, right? And then everything continues as normal. Here, where it says 20x, is where you'll determine the leverage. Ideally, for someone starting out, you should trade here, for example, at 3x, right? Between 3 and 5 times. If you example, at 3x, right? Between 3 and 5 times. If you enter at 20x or 30x, the risks are higher, right? You could either be liquidated quickly there, or your bankroll could go bankrupt. So, for those who are starting out, I personally like working here with 5x, right? It's a really cool leverage that we can already work with properly, right? So here, just come here and you can put the amount you want to trade with. In this case, I 'll leave it at 5x, click confirm. And then he'll stay here 5 times, right? When I make a trade, it will be leveraged 5x here. Well, if I want to change it, I can come here and make that change. To place an entry, you determine here, after you set up the numbers here, you can enter a long position here, you know, a long position. It's when you believe the asset will appreciate in value, and when you sell, it's when you believe the asset will depreciate in value, right? And then you can perform your transaction. When you open a trade, it will appear below, and you can also make a series of settings here, including pausing the trade you opened, which is your currently open trade.
