What is Binance Futures? Explanation and instructions on how to use Binance Futures – Binance Futures

What is Binance Futures?

Binance Futures is a futures trading platform, also known as a derivative trading platform of the “tycoon” in crypto exchanges at the moment.

Futures are different from the Spot market in that the buy and sell activities of users take place immediately, while futures contracts or derivative transactions are sellers and buyers. will have to trade on a contract at a future point in time, this is called the contractual maturity date.

Exchange rates on the platform Binance Futures is based on the prices of the 4 largest exchanges Currently Binance, Huobi, OKEx and Bittrex.

Binance Futures is the first derivative of Binance. After this, I believe that with CZ’s great ambitions, Binance will continue to launch more types of products.

Note: The Binance Futures platform allows users to use leverage up to x125, which means that the more you eat, the more you lose! Oh no, “burn” the account, but not lose 😀

Permanent futures contract

The Binance Futures platform is for perpetual futures trading.

Perpetual Futures or Perpetual Futures are contracts that do not have a certain maturity date. This means that this Binance platform both takes advantage of the characteristics of Spot market and the advantages of derivative trading. Therefore, the price is usually approximately equal to the standard purchase and sale price of the market.

The contract does not have an exact expiration date, so the contract can only be terminated when the user terminates the trading contract or the contract is “liquidated” due to a loss exceeding the leverage ratio.

What are the transaction fees on Binance Futures?

Transaction fees on Binance Futures depend on VIP level of the user account. CHK has summarized the fee table as follows:

Overview of leverage

Leverage is the ratio between the price you have to place an order and the amount of deposit that you must pay to place the order.

Example: Floor H offers leverage of 100x (100x). If you place an order of 10 USDT then you can open a position for 1000 USDT. Or simply can understand that the amount you spend 10% for 1 such transaction.

Funding Rate (Funding Rate)

Margin interest is the interest rate that the buyer (Maker) must pay to the seller (Taker) .This is considered the exchange rate between 2 people and Binance does not collect the money called Funding Rate.

Note: Funding Rate on Binance Futures is 0.01% / 8h (0.03% / 24h)

Example: Person A orders 10 BTC and Person B chooses to buy Person A’s orders. So, every 1 day, Person A must pay B 10 x 0.03% = 0.003 BTC.

Liquidation

CHK mentioned above that this is a permanent contract so the contract does not have an exact expiration date so the contract can only be terminated when the user terminates the trading contract or the contract is “liquidated. ”Due to a loss in excess of leverage.

Trading guide on the Binance Futures platform

Limit Order

This order is used to place a LONG / SHORT position at your discretionary price.

Example: You want to Short / Sell 1 BTC for 7000 USDT. You just need to enter 7000 in the “Price” and 1 (ie 1 BTC) in the “Order Qty”. Then, select “Sell / Short” and you’re done. You can choose Post-Only or TIF depending on you, in terms of meaning, I have explained in the above paragraph. The same is true for the Buy / Long order.

Market Order

This order will support you Long or Short as quickly as possible, because this order will match the order with the best price at that time in the order book.

Example: The market price is 7000 USDT / BTC and you predict that the BTC is down and you Short 1 BTC with the current price, just enter 1 in the box “Order Qty” then press the button Buy / Long.

Stop-Limit Order

This order will help trigger a limit order when the price of the market reaches the Stop Price that you have set.

For example: BTC price 7000 USDT, I place a Sell / Short Stop-Limit order, and at the same time I set Stop Price at 7300, limit price is 7360. And I put 1 BTC in the box “Order Qty”. At this point, when BTC reaches 7300 USDT, it will automatically trigger a Sell order at the price of 7360 USDT.

Stop Market Order

Similar to a Stop Limit order, this order will trigger a Market order when the price sets a pre-set Stop Price.

Example: If the current BTC price is 7200 and I place a Short Stop Market order, the Trigger Price is 7300 with a quantity of 1 BTC. When the price reaches 7300 it triggers a 1 BTC Short Market order with the market price

Close order – take profit (loss)

Because of the nature of Binance Futures as perpetual futures, in order to close a futures order, you need to place a reverse position with the same volume. For example, if you have a Short 0.5 BTC order, you need to place a Short 0.5 BTC order to close a take profit (loss) order.

If not, you can also close a part of the contract to take profit (loss) first, it is not required to close all. Generally, depending on the trading style, take profit (loss) of each person

Is the Binance Futures platform safe?

Have! Because this is a part of the Binance ecosystem – one of the big guys of the exchanges. You can rest assured about this.

I believe that in the future, Binance will also continue to launch many other derivative products to serve the needs of users.

Should I use the Binance Futures platform?

In my opinion, those who need to use leverage to trade, Binance Futures is not a bad choice. However, along with the high profits that the derivative trading market brings, the risk of “burning” is also high. You should consider joining because the risk is high to your pocket.
