✅ What are Binance Futures?
They are contracts that represent the price of a cryptocurrency in the future.
Instead of buying the coin, you operate a contract that goes up or down according to the movement of the actual price.
In other words, you can make money if the price goes up or if it goes down, depending on your operation.

🔥 What are they for?
They are mainly used to:
✔ Make money when the market goes up (LONG position)
✔ Make money when the market goes down (SHORT position)
✔ Multiply your trades using leverage (for example, x5, x10, x20)

⚠️ Important: leverage
Leverage multiplies your capital, but it also multiplies the risk.
Quick example:
If you use x10, a 1% drop against you can close your position.
That’s why they are used with strategy, control, and experience.
