Futures trading for beginners
Assalamu Alaikum
How are you? By Allah's grace, I'm doing very well.
What is Futures Trading?
Futures trading is a type of trading where you make an agreement to buy or sell an asset (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) at a specific time and price in the future, but you don't actually have to wait until that time—you can close the trade in advance, with a profit or loss.
Key features of futures trading :
Features | Explanation |
---|---|
Leverage | Large orders can be placed with less capital. For example, a $100 trade with $10 at 10x leverage. |
Long & Short | You can go long (Buy) if you think the price will increase and short (Sell) if you think the price will decrease. |
Quick Profit | It is possible to make a profit even with small price fluctuations, so the potential for profit is higher (and riskier) than spot trading. |
Liquidation | If you trade in the wrong direction, you can lose all your capital, which is called liquidation. |
Futures Trading Guide for Beginners :
🔹 Account Opening & Security
Open an account on a trusted exchange (such as Bitget, Binance, Bybit). Enable Google Authenticator & withdrawal whitelist.
🔹 Fund Transfer
Transfer funds from Spot Wallet to Futures Wallet.
🔹 Leverage Setting
Leverage ranges from 1x to 125x. It is better to start with 5x or less leverage.
🔹 Open a trade by understanding the market trend
If you think the price will increase → Long
If you think the price will decrease → Short
Example :
Suppose BTC is now $30,000, you think it will increase then if you go long for $10 with 5x leverage, if BTC is 32,000 → you can make a 66% profit.
🔹 Set Stop Loss and Take Profit
Stop Loss → Set loss limit
Take Profit → Automatically close trade at profit
🔹 Learn Technical Analysis
You need to understand candlestick charts, RSI, MACD, Trendlines, Support & Resistance.
Futures trading without TA = gambling
Some important tips for beginners :
Start with demo trading (such as Bitget's “Futures Trial” option)
Use low leverage (3x–5x)
Learn fund management – don't invest all at once
Don't trade without a stop-loss
Follow the news – such as CPI, FOMC, etc.
Most importantly: Reduce greed and maintain discipline!
Note :
Futures trading is high risk, it is true that you can make quick profits from it, but your capital can be completely gone in a wrong trade. Therefore, it is dangerous to invest before learning.
