Futures Trading on Binance Mobile: Beginner's Guide 2025

[00:01] Futures tutorial on the mobile app that you need to watch in 2025 if you're a beginner in the futures market. This video is for you, no messing around, let's get straight to the point. I already have the app open on the first page.

[00:16] To get started, make sure you 're on the Pro version of the app. To do this, click on the icon in the upper left corner. Note at the bottom: if it says "Light," it means you're already on the Pro version. However, if it

[00:30] says "Pro," click on it to access the full version, like mine, the Pro version. Now, back to the home page. Remember that the futures platform will only be available to you in Brazil if the app's language

[00:43] is set to a language other than Brazilian Portuguese. If the futures tab isn't appearing at the bottom of the app on your device, click again on the gear icon in the upper left corner

[00:59] to English, Spanish, Portuguese (Portugal), or another language of your preference. I 'll put Portuguese here now, this one below is the Portuguese language. Let's go back to the home page now with the futures tab

[01:14] unlocked at the bottom. Let's access it; perhaps its interface is a little different from mine, especially if you're using Android, but the difference is minimal.

[01:29] capital to operate. Note that at this moment my balance is zero, so we need to transfer funds here. The quickest way is by clicking on this shortcut next to the available balance. We'll then be directed to the

[01:43] transfer section. I'm going to choose to bring SDT to futures because currently this stablecoin has the highest liquidity and parity for trading. So let's select the currency; in my case, SDT is selected. Note that Binance

[01:57] will already show me the level value in USDT dollars on the Spot platform at the bottom, and I'll be transferring it here to the to select the amount we're going to transfer to the futures platform.

[02:13] For today's video, I'll be bringing $1 for us to work with. Let's click confirm, and that's it. Note that my balance is already displayed here on the right. Once the balance is here, everything is ready to

[02:27] open a trade. Let's go to the first step, which is choosing the asset. In the upper left, we'll be clicking here where the currency's symbol is and we'll be choosing the asset we're going to trade. For today's example,

[02:41] I'll be choosing... It's important to choose the asset with the parity of our stablecoin that we brought here for futures, right? So, BNB USDT. Once we've chosen the currency,

[02:54] let's move on to the second step, which is choosing the operation mode. There are two modes: the Cross mode (which in Portuguese from Portugal is written "Cruz") and the Isolated mode. In short, the Isolated mode

[03:09] will literally isolate a certain amount of the value you set aside for the operation; in case of liquidation, you will only lose the margin you put into the trade. The Cross mode will make the entire balance of your

[03:24] futures portfolio available as margin for the operation. Therefore, if you don't know what you're doing, there's a high possibility of losing all the capital in your futures bankroll. So, I recommend that beginners

[03:38] always use the Isolated mode. The third step is choosing the leverage for the operation. Pay close attention now to the concept of leverage. It's a tool that allows you to maximize your gains and also maximize your losses. As a

[03:53] simple example, if we work with 1x leverage, it's basically an operation without leverage; that is, if I put $100 into the operation, Binance will open an operation for me with... $100 of my balance, however, if I use

[04:08] 20x leverage and open a $ 000 trade, Binance will only use $1 of my balance but will open a position of $ 000 size, a position 20 times

[04:22] larger than my balance. However, the higher your leverage, the smaller your margin will be to be liquidated. In the example I just mentioned, in the 20x leverage trade, mentioned, in the 20x leverage trade, if the trade goes against 5% (not all of it,

[04:37] around 4.5% due to broker fees and margin), Binance will liquidate your position and you will lose the entire allocated value, position and you will lose the entire allocated value, in this case, $100. So be

[04:50] very careful with leverage. For today's example, we will be using today's example, we will be using addition to buying, it is also possible to bet on the asset falling by

[05:05] selling, doing a short sale. I will give an example of a long buy and also an example of a short sell, and you will understand everything. But first, let's continue setting up our trade. We now need to select the

[05:19] order type. Notice that there are several types of orders; I will only present limit and market orders. In this first step, you need the basics. After you get the basics, you can study the other orders. Binance itself gives you the

[05:35] definition of each order when you click on an order you've never used before. For example, when we click on an order we've never used, it will show you the order definitions, and you can navigate through the other orders

[05:49] to understand the concept of each one. But going back to the main limit and market orders, let's look at the concepts of the limit order. Binance will place an order in the order book at a specific price, and it will only be executed if the asset

[06:05] reaches the price you selected as your entry point. The second way to enter a trade, which we will present today, is with a market order. This will immediately place you in the trade, executing the order in the order book that

[06:19] is closest to the current price of the asset. For this first example, I will be opening a trade as we planned, isolated 10x. We will place a market order to open the trade immediately, and I will be putting

[06:34] immediately, and I will be putting 00 in our trade in this example. 00 in our trade in this example. Now, just click on "buy" ( long) or "buy" (depending on how it appears for you). Then just confirm, and

[06:47] Binance will open it. position, you need to know how to activate the stop and the target. There are several

[07:02] ways to activate them, and since this tutorial is dedicated to beginners, I will cover the two most practical methods, one of which I use in the vast majority of my trades. Since we have an open position, let's start with the

[07:17] simplest way to place the stop. Just go to the open position (this one here) and go to the open position (this one here) and click on TPSL, which is the Take Profit and Stop Loss. Note that our entry point is marked here around

[07:30] entry point is marked here around 06. Let's suppose our Stop is in the this value in the tab above. Once filled in, Binance

[07:46] will inform me how much I will lose if the stop is hit, here in estimated gains and losses. Now we just need to confirm, and that's it. We can now check our order by clicking here on open orders. After the stop is

[08:02] programmed, we will also set the target by going back to positions and clicking here on close. This is the option where we can close the position, whether at the current price or exiting with PNL. As mentioned below, or by setting the target in the order book to close

[08:18] at this exact moment, simply select the "market" option, choose the percentage you want to exit the trade by, and click "confirm." Alternatively, we can place an order in the order book as a target by clicking "limit" and

[08:34] choosing the value. Let's suppose our trade's target is around our trade's target is around 800. If we activate this order, it will be programmed in the order book. And if the asset reaches that range, the order book

[08:47] will close my position, and I will have a profit margin ( PNL) with an estimated gain of PNL) with an estimated gain of approximately 65%. I clicked " confirm" here, and that's it. Going back to " open orders," you'll see the target order and the

[09:00] stop order. We've just seen the stop and target programming individually, but we can also program both at the same time. Let's go back to "positions," click " TPSL" again, and now "position TPSL." Now we just need

[09:17] TPSL" again, and now "position TPSL." Now we just need to fill in our target of 800 and our stop around 690. Now we just need to confirm, and that's it. We can now create the programmed target and stop in "open orders."

[09:33] Closing both the orders and our trade, I'm going to close here at market. At the current price, losing about 0, let's now move on to the second way to place the stop and target. This is directly

[09:50] on the screen before we even open the trade. In this same example, I'll now work with a limit order. Let's suppose I found an Let's suppose I found an interesting buying range on BNB around

[10:05] interesting buying range on BNB around 680. Again, I'll want to enter with an amount of 00 once the asset reaches that price. I want to program my stop and target even before opening the trade.

[10:20] We can do this by clicking here on TPSL, leaving this tab active. In the lower tab is where we will position our Stop. I'll put the target here at 650 for this example. You have the option to fill it in

[10:36] here or leave it blank. Okay, I'll leave it blank for this example, positioning only our Stop. Now with everything filled in, just activate the buy command and place the order. Note that this time we

[10:51] worked with a limit order, so the balance won't open the position immediately. The position will only be opened and appear here in the positions when the asset price is in the range we planned, around

[11:06] $80. So I can check our open order here by clicking on open orders. We can observe Both our entry point and our positioned Stop are shown here; just click here to view our

[11:20] fully configured position. As soon as this buy order is executed, this buy order is executed, Binance will immediately activate the stop and the target, if programmed. Remember that it is extremely important that

[11:33] your Stop is above the liquidation price; otherwise, before reaching it, you will be liquidated, and believe me, it 's better to exit at the stop than at liquidation because you pay less in

[11:46] fees. Now let's wrap everything up here because I want to open a trade quickly, as there are some concepts you need to learn. Let's place a market position here to open immediately, and I'll put $100

[12:02] in this Dex trade. I'll go long here. Once your trade is open, there are some concepts we need to break down. Let's go: entry price – well, this one is very clear

[12:15] here – is the value you entered the trade with. On the right, the reference price is the current price of the asset, a little further to the right. liquidation price – this is the point where, if the asset price, in the case of BNB, reaches that point, you will be liquidated and

[12:32] lose all the capital allocated to this trade, in this case, the entire balance. Here, in the Margin tab, which is a little less than 10, the purpose of margin is the value we allocated to our operation. On the left side, we can

[12:48] see the size; this is the total size of our operation, around $100, a little less. Right above, in gains and losses, is our profit bar (PR ISO) of the operation. On the right side, we can see the percentage we are gaining or

[13:04] losing from this margin balance we entered, currently around 3% positive. If you want to close the operation, you can go to close, as this individually. But there is also another way to

[13:20] is also another way to close not only this one but all open operations if you have several operations, which is by clicking here on close all. Just confirm, and everything is closed at market. Now let's give

[13:34] an example of short selling. To enter short, it's basically the same thing; only the side you're entering the operation will change. To avoid just talking, I'll quickly open an operation as an example; this will serve

[13:48] as a review. So let's go from the first step, choosing the currency. For this example, I'll be using the cryptocurrency dodj. Let's choose the... The

[14:00] USDT parity, because what we brought here for futures was the SDT, the mode we for futures was the SDT, the mode we want is isolated leverage, and for this example I'll put 10x. We'll maintain the market order. Because

[14:14] for this example I want to open an order immediately and I'll put a position of 00 here. Here we put our Stop, I'll be putting a Stop here at around 0.35 cents,

[14:29] and that's it for the target. I won't be setting a target, and now I'll sell by clicking here on sell. There we have an operation betting on the fall of the asset. Okay investors, if you noticed there were

[14:44] some functions that I didn't cover so you wouldn't get confused at this first moment, we covered the basics necessary for you to trade. What I presented to you is everything you need to start little by little and with a smaller value at the beginning. You can

[15:00] open operations and test other functions if you are interested. That's it. I tried to keep the video simple and complete at the same time for everyone's understanding. Now that you already know how to trade futures, remember that more important than

[15:15] how to buy and how to sell is when to buy and when to sell. For educational purposes, I generally share cryptocurrency analysis on this channel, addressing

[15:27] the possible ranges of... Buying and selling on both longer and shorter timeframes, so don't forget to subscribe to follow the analyses and leave a like and a comment if this video helped you. A tip: I used to trade on

[15:41] Binance a few years ago, but today I trade on another exchange. The reason is that I prioritize exchanges that are not based in Brazil and preferably do not require document verification (KYC). I will

[15:56] leave the links to these exchanges in the description of this video and in the first pinned comment. If you are interested, access them through the referral links and start off on the right foot by earning new user bonuses,

[16:09] regardless of the exchange you are using. Remember, an exchange is not your wallet; avoid leaving large amounts of money on them. Thank you very much for your attention. on them. Thank you very much for your attention. See you in the next videos.
