1. What Are Perpetual Futures?
Perpetual contracts allow you to trade crypto with leverage (e.g., 5x, 20x).
There is no expiry date, meaning you can hold positions indefinitely.
2. Key Terms
- Leverage — magnifies profit and loss
- Margin — collateral you put in
- Funding Rate — periodic fee between longs and shorts
- Liquidation — when your margin is insufficient
3. How to Open a Futures Position
- Transfer funds to Futures Wallet
- Select leverage
- Choose Long (price up) or Short (price down)
- Monitor PnL, liquidation price, and funding
4. Risk Tips
- Start with low leverage (2–5x)
- Always use stop-loss
- Understand funding rate impact
- Never all-in on a single trade
