[00:02] with another video for you. This time I'm going to teach you step-by-step how to use the Baiana Futures account. So, leave a like and subscribe, you'll help me able to help you make a lot of money throughout this year.
[00:17] First thing, folks, if your Baiana account does n't have Futures unlocked, just go to the beginning, go to the language section and change it to Portuguese (Portugal), and Futures will appear automatically.
[00:30] Another thing, Futures has its own money account, so you'll have 'll have to send money from your Spot account to your Futures account. Just click on this little yellow arrow, okay? Then you click here, choose the amount
[00:45] you want to send. Just click here to confirm transfer. That's it, it will come here automatically. There are no fees to send it here or to send it back to the Spot account. Another very important thing, folks, always
[00:58] leave this here, especially since it's SBT, and you'll only have Paris on SBT Bitcoin/dollar. Cardano's dollar bar allows you to choose the currency you want to trade. Just go here where it says BTC and select the
[01:13] you can search ada.com. Okay, I'll use BTC as an example. If you want to bet on the rise ( long), just click here to buy. If you want to bet on the fall (short), just click here to sell. Another thing,
[01:28] folks, when you're going to buy or sell, click here to limit and leave it on market because it will buy instantly at the best possible price. Because when we're going to trade, we need to be fast, so you can leave it on market. The
[01:40] limit is when you want it to buy or sell at a specific price, so you can leave it on market. And an extremely important tool is TP SL, which is Take Profit and Stop Loss, which is nothing more than your target and your
[01:54] Stop. It's very important to use this tool here, folks, especially so you don't have big losses. It's very important to always use this. Here you will put your target and your profit, and here you will
[02:07] put your Stop. For each currency, if it goes in the opposite direction of what you bet, it will sell automatically. Another thing, folks, when you're going to bet on the rise or fall, you have to choose the margin you're going to
[02:19] use. Do you want a cross or isolated margin? What's the difference between the two? In an What's the difference between the two? In an isolated margin, if you invest $100 and you lose that money, you'll lose a maximum of
[02:32] $100. You bet on a cross margin, and besides losing the dollars you invested, you can also lose your entire bankroll, all the value you have in your futures account. On the one hand, it's good because if
[02:47] you bet on the fall and it goes in the opposite direction, the market starts to rise, you 'll have more margin, you'll have more cushion to hold on and not be liquidated. However, you can end up losing all your bankroll. I'll show you
[02:59] this in practice, and I'm going to make a purchase here for you to see how it works. I'm going to leverage here only five times. Folks, for those who are starting, start with two or three times, okay? Because the chance of you being liquidated is very high.
[03:12] example, I'm going to bet here on the fall of Bitcoin for you. I'm going to sell it, I'm going to cut the value that... You're going to be investing, it's going to be here, see where it says zero SBT? It's going to be down here, not this one, it's going to be this one down here.
[03:25] So I'm going to show you, I want to invest $50, see? I'll leave it here, see? $50 here, it will appear, but that's just the margin you're using, right? I'm betting five times five times 50, 250,
[03:39] but the value you're going to be using from your bankroll, which is this one, is $50. And always remember to leave the stop-loss activated, which I'm just using as an example. My stop-loss will be up there, right? So I'm going to leave
[03:53] my stop-loss at 18,200 to sell automatically if the currency goes up, and my profit will be at 17,500. This is just to use as an example for you, okay folks? Just click here on sell, and that's it,
[04:08] two orders will open here, okay? The one for our target and also the one for our stop-loss. To see the operation, just click here on positions. Look, this is very liquidation price here is an extremely important price. This is the price at which you
[04:24] will be liquidated. If it reaches 21,319, I will be liquidated. Your margin is the amount you invested. Here is the amount of profit or loss you are having in
[04:38] you are having in percentage. Okay, if you want to change the stop and the target, right, the TPS, just click here in the middle, like this: Stop. You will go up here to position TPS, and here you will change the price of your TPS. If you
[04:57] want to adjust leverage, just click here. See that you can adjust leverage whenever you want. And now, very important, remember that I left the image isolated. What does that mean? It means that if I am
[05:10] lose at most the $50 that I invested. Okay, if I left the image crossed out, in addition to losing the $50 that I left here, I can also lose the rest of
[05:23] my bankroll. It will take the rest of my bankroll as well. I already... I'm going to open another interesting thing about isolated margin is that if the price of Bitcoin starts to rise a lot and I start to lose money, and I see that I'm going to have to take
[05:36] care of myself, I can add more margin, add more money, more dollars, so that I don't get liquidated so easily. Or I'll click here, see? And I'll I'll click here, see? And I'll put in another $50 of margin, confirm,
[05:50] and that's it! You see that my liquidation price went up? In other words, I improved liquidated so easily because I added more margin, more fat, right? For tomorrow it will go in the opposite direction. And if I want to cancel the order, I just click
[06:05] here to close position, put in the quantity or percentage, and confirm, okay? quantity or percentage, and confirm, okay? Very simple. Now I'm going to you to see as an example, so you know how it works. I'll put
[06:18] here, without having a PSL, okay? Just to use as an example, I'll put $50 too, as an example, I'll put $50 too, wait, $49, I see, I put here, sell five times, posting then, in the market drop, what happens?
[06:33] market drop, what happens? I bet $49. If I go for the "Be careful" option, besides taking those $49, he'll also take the rest that's in my account. In on the market going up, right? Because I bet on the drop, so I won't be liquidated so
[06:47] easily. Look at my liquidation price here, and it's at 9000. Bitcoin is already margin here that I have left in my account. Okay, but you have to be careful because if you are liquidated, he can take
[07:03] everything that's in your account. This difference between isolated margin and cross margin... I'm going to close the position here too now so you can see 100%. Now confirm. Finally, I closed the position. Now I'm going to buy for you. I'm going to
[07:17] how it works. I'll leave the isolated margin here, okay, confirm. I'm going to bet $50 too. Let's leave it here, $53. You see, I left it in order
[07:29] in the market, isolated margin 5x and leverage five times. Ideally, guys, always put the stop here and also the target. Okay, I'm not going to put it now, just to use it as an example for you all. Just buy, okay? I went long in the
[07:46] market, if it goes up I'm winning, if it goes down I'm losing, okay? And here I can liquidation price. If I want to add the stop, the target, I just come here in the middle and then come here to position, have psl, add my target, my stop. Okay, there's
[08:02] no secret, folks, that's basically it. I'm going to cancel the position, so far 0 percent. Ready, confirm or not, come up here. And folks, just so you can see how risky it is to operate with a lot of
[08:16] leverage, let's suppose you invested $100 in Bitcoin. It doesn't matter if it goes up or down, if you leverage 0 times, if
[08:28] 0 times, if opposite direction, if you leverage 0 times, you're already liquidated, you lose everything,
[08:40] unless of course you add more margin or you use cross-margin and leave a balance here to take more. And even then it's very risky if you leverage to 50 times. If it's only
[08:55] two percent in the opposite direction of what you bet, you're already liquidated. That's good if you haven't added leverage or left it at cross margin. So for those who are starting, start with two or three times, at most
[09:10] five times, that's great. Another tip, guys, is this: I don't know if you trade with certain coins or lose with coins that have a volume greater than 20 million dollars. If we click here on the Bitcoin chart, we'll
[09:23] see that its volume is around 20 billion, that is, much higher, because then you'll have more liquidity to trade. Okay, wait, how do they have more than 20 million in volume? Another tip I'll give you is that
[09:35] when the market is falling, you can short sell and only use one leverage, a single leverage. The chance of you being liquidated will be extremely small, as if you were buying the opposite. Okay,
[09:50] if you leave it here, even just one leverage, your chance of being liquidated will be very small. Remember to always place your stop loss order, guys. Another very interesting thing about the Baiana platform, if you have the
[10:03] calculator ( calculator symbol), you can calculate your profit and losses here. And here in the settlement price, you can see the price at which you will be settled. Just enter the
[10:16] entry price, quantity, and it's very simple. So, there's this function here in the bar as history of your trades, just click here below. Okay, you can see the order history; it only shows the orders I made here now. And here are the
[10:31] open orders you have at the moment. That's it, guys. Be careful, leverage is very dangerous. This is not a recommendation. Ideally, if you don't have experience, you shouldn't even use futures, okay? Because the chance of
[10:44] losing money is very high. Any questions, leave them in the comments, and I Remember, my focus is to help you increase your assets over time. That's it, we're in this together until next time!
