Crypto futures explained

Crypto Futures are derivatives that allow you to bet on rising or falling crypto prices — with Leverage. Unlike classic Futures with an expiration date, cryptoPerpetual-Futures are not limited in time and are linked to the spot market via the funding rate.

The Explanation

All the important aspects explained simply.

📈

Long & Short possible

Long = Wette auf steigende Kurse. Short = Wette auf fallende Kurse. Beide Richtungen sind technisch gleichermaßen möglich, ohne Leerverkauf-Einschränkungen.

⚡

Leverage

Mit z.B. 10x Hebel bewegst du 10.000 USDT mit 1.000 USDT Sicherheit. Gewinne UND Verluste werden 10x verstärkt. Achtung: Liquidationsrisiko — bei 10× kann bereits eine Gegenbewegung von rund 10 % liquidieren. Deine Börse kann für Privatkunden niedrigere Hebelgrenzen vorgeben (in der EU bei Krypto-Basiswerten gegebenenfalls 2:1).

⏰

Funding rate

At fixed intervals (depending on the exchange, e.g. hourly or every 8 hours), traders on one side pay those on the other side — this keeps the futures price in line with the spot price. Funding is paid or received and as a rule does not offset price losses.

Feature in the bot

⚠️ Risk Warning: FuturesBot is a technical automation tool — no investment advice, no investment recommendation, no asset management. You determine strategies, leverage and stake yourself. Crypto futures trading can lead to total loss; stop-loss and protection features do not reliably limit losses (price gaps, slippage, liquidation). No profit guarantee; past or simulated results are not an indication of future results. Check every setting thoroughly in paper mode first. Full Risk Disclosure
