Futures Trading

Futures are a contract between two parties speculating on the future price of a cryptocurrency. Derivatives of an underlying asset with specific requirements like units, pricing, and settlement.

  3. Order Placement: Decide whether to buy (go long) or sell (go short) and specify the number of contracts.

Transferring Funds to Futures Wallet

Selecting Future Trading Pairs

  • Search for Contracts: Use the search box to find USDⓈ-Margined or Coin-Margined Futures contracts.

  • Contract Selection: Choose the specific contract you want to trade based on volume or price change.


Calculating Unrealized PNL and ROE%

Formula: Unrealized PNL = Position Size * Order Direction * (Mark or Latest Price - Entry Price). ROE% is calculated based on the unrealized PNL and entry margin.


Close-All Positions and Loss Calculations

  • Profit and Loss Calculations: Based on the last price for better trade management.

  • Close-All Function: Allows exiting all positions simultaneously in extreme market conditions.

Understanding Liquidation in Futures

  • Purpose: Prevents traders from falling into negative equity in volatile markets.

  • Mechanism: Liquidates positions at a specific price (liquidation price) to prevent losses exceeding the maintenance margin.

  • Insurance Fund and ADLs: Used to cover losses in cases where liquidation doesn't prevent negative equity.
