What are futures? 🤔
Futures are agreements to buy or sell a digital asset at a specified price in the future, without having to actually own it. They are divided into two types:
🔗 Traditional contracts (with an expiration date)
🔗 Perpetual contracts (no expiration date, with financing rate)
🛡 Advantages of futures contracts:
💎 Leverage: Multiply your capital and increase your potential profits.
💎 Hedging: Protecting investments from market fluctuations.
💎 Speculation: Making profits whether on the rise (📈 Long) or the fall (📉 Short).
⚠️ Futures Risks:
❌ Liquidation: Loss of capital when the market moves in the opposite direction.
❌ High volatility: High risks compared to traditional markets.
❌ Financing Fee: Additional cost for permanent contracts.
