“Leverage is like strong alcohol. Knowing when to stop is blissful. Overdoing it leads to falling down. Futures are similar.”
Trading Futures (futures contracts) on Binance is not for the faint-hearted or unclear-minded. This is a playground where you can multiply your account in just a few minutes – or lose everything just because of a sudden price spike.
It’s not that Futures are dangerous. It’s that players don’t understand how to survive.
Below is how to enter Futures orders without being kicked out by the market.
☘️ What is Futures – For Newcomers
• Futures is a type of bet on whether the price will go up (long) or down (short).
• You don’t need to hold real coins – just guessing the right direction is profitable.
• Use leverage to amplify gains or losses.
• Example: Have $100, use leverage x10 → order worth $1,000.
• A 1% price increase is a 10% profit. But if it goes the other way – you also lose 10%.
☘️ Long – Short – Leverage: Combo of Big Profits but Easy to Fail
• Long = bet on price going up
• Short = bet on price going down
Simply put:
• Long = Buy low – Sell high
• Short = Sell first – Buy back after the price drops
The higher the leverage → the more sensitive the margin → easier to get liquidated.
☘️ Guide to Entering Futures Orders on Binance
1. Open the Binance app, choose the “Futures” tab
2. Choose a trading pair (for example BTC/USDT)
3. Choose Cross or Isolated
4. Choose leverage: around 3x–10x is fine, don’t be greedy with >10x if you are not used to it
5. Choose the order type: Market – Limit – Stop
6. Enter the amount, press Long or Short
☘️ Cross vs Isolated – Knowing How to Choose Between Holding or Failing
• Cross: use the entire Futures wallet to hold the position → if one order fails, you might lose everything
→ For tough traders, excellent capital management.
• Isolated: only use the money you put into the order → if it fails, only that amount is lost
→ Should be used if you are a newbie.
☘️ Stop-Loss & Take-Profit – Lifeline When the Waves Are High
• Stop-Loss: cut losses when the price goes too much in the wrong direction
• Take-Profit: automatically take profit when the price reaches the target
“Playing Futures without setting Stop-Loss is like driving a car without brakes. When you need to stop… no need to say more.”
☘️ Classic Failures of Newbies
👉 Enter a x20 order because you see the coin pumping → just a slight correction → lose your account
👉 All-in short because of “bad news” → market does not care about the news → price goes up instead → lose everything
👉 Do not set Stop-Loss because “I can hold” → price goes up 10% → look back at the wallet and it’s empty
☘️ Safe Setup Suggestions for Newbies
Avoid “Losing Everything”
• Understand Futures clearly: What are Long, Short, and Leverage
• Know the difference between Cross and Isolated
• Know how to place basic orders, set Stop-Loss
• Know how to avoid the classic failures mentioned above
Just keep these things in mind before jumping into a trade. If not, then don’t play to avoid pain.
