[00:01] trade with $0,000 without actually having it? If possible. Here we are on the Binance platform in the futures contracts section, and in leverage works, which is a tool that allows us to amplify our
[00:15] profits, but at the same time we are increasing our risk. Notice that in this account I have almost $600 and with a leverage of 20x I will be able to open a position of $10,000. Look, I put $10,000 there and it's going to ask me for a
[00:29] cost of 514. I simply have to click where it says buy and if I go down here I can see my position of $10,000 here and see how I start to gain or lose money based on that number. Being leveraged 20 times the capital I risk,
[00:45] which it says is 500, I will increase my profit 20 times, but at the same time I don't need it to fall 100% to lose the total, but it only has to fall 4% to lose those $500. Notice how here in
[00:59] just a few seconds I'm already earning four or c or $, but at the same time it can go the other way around and I can lose them. And if I want to close the transaction, I simply click where it says close, click confirm, and that's it. And I'm left
[01:12] with whatever profit or loss I've made up to that point. Obviously, if we're leveraging 20x with all our capital, I always advise using a stop-loss and take- profit order, because otherwise you'd
[01:26] earmarked for trading. If you don't more, I advise you to watch the video I've pinned below, futures contracts, all for beginners, step by step. And don't
[01:41] forget to like and follow me.
