## Summary

This video provides a beginner's guide to trading futures on Binance, emphasizing the high risks involved and offering practical tips to avoid common losses. The creator explains key concepts like isolated vs. cross margin, leverage, order types, and risk management strategies.

### Key Points

- **Warning about futures trading risks** [00:05] — Most beginners lose money when first trading futures, often draining their deposits. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
- **Transferring funds to futures wallet** [00:48] — To start, transfer money from your spot wallet to the futures wallet using the two arrows icon.
- **Isolated vs cross margin explained** [01:15] — Cross margin uses entire balance as collateral; isolated margin only risks the amount in the trade. Isolated is recommended for beginners.
- **Choosing leverage** [01:45] — Leverage from x1 to x50 is available. Beginners should start with x1 or x3, as x10 means a 10% move can liquidate the position.
- **Futures vs spot trading** [02:31] — In futures, you trade contracts, not actual coins. You don't own the underlying asset.
- **Avoid market orders on futures** [02:44] — Market orders have high fees and execute at unfavorable prices. Use limit orders instead.
- **Entering with multiple orders** [03:50] — Place multiple limit orders at different prices to average your entry price. For example, buy 20% at current price, then more at a lower price.
- **Setting take profit and stop loss** [04:36] — Always set take profit and stop loss orders in advance to manage risk. Use the chart to determine levels.
- **Moving stop loss to breakeven** [05:48] — Once price moves favorably, adjust stop loss to breakeven to lock in no loss.
- **Short selling caution** [06:56] — Shorting is more dangerous than longing. Use 1x leverage to practice and always set stop loss. Avoid shorting in uptrends.

### Conclusion

Futures trading is high-risk; beginners should start with small amounts, use isolated margin, low leverage, and always set stop losses. Spot trading is safer for novices.

futures, is it even worth trading there, where to even start. Now I'll show you a short video so that you understand this is not a call to trade futures, this is to ensure that you do not lose money there, because basically, everyone
I know loses money when they first go to futures, most often 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, they lose there, they drain their deposits and only after a long time, when they have already lost a lot, they begin to earn something, so be extremely
careful, put there only the amount you are ready to lose, otherwise you can simply be left with nothing. To switch to futures, we click on derivatives futures and
after which you will have some tips here, you can read them. It will be useful in any case. After you go to futures, you must transfer money from the 100 wallet, you will have 0 available here, you click on these two arrows,
choose how much you want to transfer, indicate the amount and click confirm, they appear on your balance, after which you  You need to choose the settings for how you will trade. There are large options here: isolated and cross-margin. You
can read about this here, but in short, I'll say that cross-margin uses your entire deposit as collateral. So, for example, if you have $100,000 here, you bought Bitcoin at $55,000, and then traded for $2,000, then the
broker will return your entire $100,000 if you used high leverage. For example, if you use isolated leverage here, only the amount you open a trade with can be liquidated. No one will take more than this amount from you.
always recommend using isolated margin. Here, we choose isolated margin. Here, we choose leverage of x10, and we can choose from x1 to x50. Of course, to start, I advise you to try at least x1. You can bet x3. You can
bet x5 because x10 is 10 percent of the movement, and your amount is not available. Let's use this example, etc.  If you open it at this value, here is 10 percent. If you bought it now at 4150, it fell on date 729, then your position
will be liquidated. All your money goes to the exchange. Actually, this is the trading on futures. On spot, you buy coins. On futures, you buy contracts, that is, you do not actually own the coins. You simply
buy a contract to buy or sell a coin. Therefore, be extremely careful before trading here for large amounts. After that, we can choose a limit order. A market stop limit on futures should never
be used. Firstly, it collects a large commission. Secondly, it will sell you coins at the most favorable price for the exchange. If, for example, you enter at the moment and see that the Seppi is in the range of
see that the Seppi is in the range of 4160, then of course, it would be profitable for you to try to buy it a little lower. You place a limit order, let's say you place a limit order, let's say you see that you want to buy it at 4130. You
see that you want to buy it at 4130. You place 4130 and choose the quantity you want to buy. Here you will have Show the number of coins and here you will see the dollar value. For example, you selected the quantity
you want to buy and click buy, after which the order will be sent. We can look at open orders. Here it is and the chain buy 4130. If we want to
remove it, we see that it went higher, then we can cancel it. I always advise entering with several orders. For example, you see that now the price is 41.57. You can try to put 41.55, for example, or 56 and
for example, or 56 and click buy. You bought a part of it. For example, you took 20 percent of your position, which you are going to buy. After that, you place a buy order below at 4130. Set more
than you bought the first time. So, if you now took the price and it went lower, you bought the position again, twice as much as you took the first time, since you bought the first time at 20 percent, then accordingly, your average entry price
will be lower. We can also set a stop on an open position or immediately set it as profit and stop loss. Of course, it will be profitable when you set it in advance, but the music or  Coins of measures, here we look at essepi, click here and
here we set take profit and stop loss, we look at what price, for example, we want to sell and at what price we can set a stop here we select our take profit, for example, we just bought at 40-145, we select
44 dollars and see how much we are approximately earning and we also set a stop loss, we look on the chart where we are approximately going to close, there is a threat if the deal
are approximately going to close, there is a threat if the deal goes against us, loss after you have taken a position, here you are told why you took the size of the
position, the entry price, the marking price, plus or minus what the current price is, the liquidation price is also written here if we see that we took 52 dollars, then when the price reaches 37-69, our exchange will be liquidated, that is,
we lose 52 dollars, therefore we always limit our losses with stop losses in advance, either setting them or after you have already taken a position, I also advise after the price moves well away from your purchase point, moving the stop
loss to  Breakeven, that is, we cancel this order, look at why we set a stop loss of 41 45 on the move at 41 45, and here we see that our losses will be zero, click
confirm and close. At this point, it turned out that I entered and there was just a spill after which I took a position and now it is successfully going up, but most often you enter and enter approximately at this
moment, you can enter, let's say the price will be somewhere here or somewhere here, so you never need to take current ones, look at the chart, you can also go to trading, look at the chart, imagine
plus or minus, those may be profitable for you to take a position at what price will it be profitable for you to select and it is always better to place a limit order on the PC q lower than the current price because some time will pass, your limit
order will be executed and you will buy at a better price than if you bought from current ones and sat and waited until your minus passes. If you want to short, then you do everything the same, only click sell short, open a
position, your order is sent and here we will see that we have the same  It's only paid when it goes short. It's best to use 1x leverage for short trading to practice, since shorting is even more dangerous than long trading. Always
limit your losses with a stop loss. Since we're currently in an uptrend, I don't recommend shorting. Especially if you're a beginner, it's best to trade only long, and even better, only on spot. On spot, you
can sit out some drawdown, but on futures, you'll simply be liquidated, or you'll exit on a stop loss and lose money. Also, to avoid other coins interfering, there's a checkbox to hide other tickers, and we can
switch from coin to coin here. Also, on penalties, there's a neat trading view chart. It also shows why you took them and where you set your stop loss. If we switch to it, we see what we bought here, where the green line is
bought here, where the green line is at the moment. Our $10 penny is here, and we make a profit. Here we have a take profit, and here we have a stop loss. Trading on a phone is no different, everything
looks exactly the same.  The only thing is that you can't see the graph properly. I hope this video was useful for you, so subscribe and like it. I'll try to make more useful videos for you more often. I wish everyone good
