Introduction to Futures Trading

What is Perpetual Futures Trading?

Futures trading involves contracts to buy or sell stocks, Bitcoin, gold, or various other financial products at a predetermined price at a specific time in the future.

Perpetual futures trading is a special type of futures trading that, unlike traditional futures, does not have an expiration date.

Futures trading differs from conventional financial products like stocks, which typically have a one-way profit structure. Instead, it has a two-way profit structure, allowing profits whether the price of the product rises or falls.

For typical financial products, profits and losses are determined by buying and selling. However, in futures trading, profits and losses are determined by entry (buy entry, sell entry) and liquidation (buy liquidation, sell liquidation).

Perpetual futures trading is a derivative product settled in USDT, allowing for both long and short positions with leverage ranging from 1 to 100 times.
