📌 To enter the world of Futures safely, you must start right from the first step.
Here’s a simple guide to open your first trade on Binance 👇
🛠️ First: Prepare the account
1 🔓 Log in to Binance
2 📍 From the bottom bar, choose “Futures” or “Futures Contracts”
3 ✅ Activate Futures account – you will be asked a simple test to understand the risks
4 💰 Transfer a small amount from Spot account to Futures account (choose USDT)
⚙️ Second: Understand the interface
• Chart: To track price movement
• Leverage: You can change it (start with 2x or 3x only for beginners)
• Amount: Enter the number of contracts or the amount you will trade with
• Cross / Isolated:
◦ ✅ Start with Isolated → limits losses in this trade only
🟢 Third: Open a position
🔹 Long trade (Buy)
– Click on Buy / Long
– Specify the amount
– Activate Stop Loss and Take Profit (very important)
🔹 Short trade (Sell)
– Click on Sell / Short
– The same previous steps
💡 Tip: Use Limit Order if you want to enter at a specific price
And use Market Order if you want to enter immediately at the current price
🧯 Fourth: Stop Loss and trade management
🚨 This is the most important thing in any trade
– Set Stop Loss from the beginning
– Monitor the trade from the “Open Orders” tab
✅ Very important tips:
1 Do not use high leverage
2 Do not trade low liquidity coins
3 Follow the general trend and work with it
4 Monitor market news and times of high volatility
5 Stick to a clear plan – do not act randomly
📊 Practical example:
• I opened a Long position on $OP at $1.80
• I set a Stop Loss at $1.70
• Target at $2.00
➡️ If the price rises ✅ you made the profit
➡️ If it drops 🔻 Stop Loss is activated and your loss is limited only
