Crypto Futures & Risk Management: FAQs

What is liquidation in crypto futures?

Liquidation is when the exchange force-closes your leveraged position because your margin can no longer cover the loss. With 10x leverage, a roughly 10% move against you (less after fees) can liquidate the position.

What is a funding rate?

A funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short traders in perpetual futures. It keeps the contract price close to the spot price. When funding is positive, longs pay shorts.

Can a beginner take this course?

We recommend the Crypto Trading for Beginners course first. This course assumes you already understand spot markets, order types and candlestick charts.

Do you provide futures signals?

No. We do not provide signals or trade calls of any kind.
