BTC futures novice

1.

Now the popular digital currency futures is bitcoin futures. On December 11, 2017, Beijing time, CBOE launched the bitcoin futures XBT, and the market reaction was hot, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism many times. CME of Chicago Mercantile Exchange launched bitcoin futures BTC on December 18, 2017, which brought about great fluctuation

the two major bitcoin futures procts have the following similarities and differences, which are worth noting:

1. XBT unit is 1 bitcoin, BTC is 5 bitcoins

The minimum price change: XBT is $10 / bitcoin, BTC is $5 / bitcoin

XBT trading time is from 7:00 on Monday to 6:00 on Saturday, Beijing time; BCT trading time is from 7:00 on Monday to 4:15 on Saturday, Beijing time

4. The position limit was 5000

Price circuit breaker mechanism: XBT price fluctuates more than 10% of the previous day's closing price, trading is suspended for 2 minutes, more than 20%, trading is suspended for 5 minutes; The BTC price fluctuates more than 7% or 13% of the closing price of the previous day, triggering the circuit breaker mechanism. The specific suspension time has not been disclosed. If it exceeds 20%, the trading will stop

XBT requires 44% initial margin, which is about 2 times leverage; BTC Requires 35% of the initial margin, which is about 3 times the leverage. It is worth noting that both exchanges have indicated that the margin amount can be adjusted according to the actual situation

2. You can make money, but you are likely to lose money. The risk of the contract is still great, at least higher than that of the normal currency speculation, but the benefits are also considerable. You can study and observe the exchange now, and then decide whether to enter the market

3.

Novice first of all to know how to calculate your cost, recharge, trading, cash, there are fees. At least you can understand the K-line. There are a lot of people on the K-line. You can look at it casually and understand it. You need to be risk aware. Bitcoin is a high-risk and high profit investment. It may double overnight, or BMW may become a bicycle overnight. At the beginning, we suggest a small amount of investment

but it's hard to get bitcoin for indivial mining, so it's basically large-scale mining, and you need to cooperate with the mine pool. So if you still want to make money by mining, at present, the most suitable mining method is cloud mining or mining machine hosting. After all, the era of single person mining is over

4. First of all, it's hard for indivials to get bitcoin by mining. Now it's all team and mine pool cooperation. The era of playing alone has passed. It's suggested that beginners play BTC from the most basic currency transaction and legal currency transaction. Celletf platform provides defi DAPP suitable for beginners.

5. There are four common trading forms of bitcoin: spot, futures, options, ETF

1, spot trading
spot trading and stock trading are almost the same, buy low and sell high, earn the middle price difference! However, bitcoin is a T + 0 mode, trading anytime and anywhere, and there are no opening, closing, suspension and many other restrictions. It is open to trading 365 days a year

2. Futures trading is often referred to as contract trading. I believe most people can't resist the temptation of contracts. Contracts can be long and short, and can also be leveraged. The maximum support is 100 times, which indirectly magnifies the benefits and risks by 100 times, because human nature is inherently greedy. However, the difficulty coefficient of making money in the contract is high. Because bitcoin fluctuates greatly, it is possible to burst the position in an instant. Therefore, futures trading should be cautious

3. Option trading
the nature of option trading is the same as that of spot trading, i.e. expected call to buy up, expected put to buy down
since the nature of options and spot is the same, what is the difference between them? Simple comparison:
for example, bitoffer, the first bitcoin option in the world, has no margin, no handling charge and no exercise

(the only option in the world that doesn't need to exercise)

1. For spot, it costs US $7500 to buy a bitcoin
2. For option, it costs US $5 to buy a bitcoin option

when bitcoin rises from 7500 to US $8000, the spot earns us $500 and the option earns us $500
the benefits of the two are the same, but the cost difference is 1500 times
this is the case with options, which is the same as the spot calculation of profit space, except that you don't need to pay the full amount, just need to pay a little deposit Different from the traditional European options)

4. ETF fund trading
ETF is usually called trading open-end index fund, which is a very popular financial derivative in the traditional financial market. Bitoffer's launch of bitcoin ETF fund increases the fixed leverage on the original basis, because there are a certain number of futures contract positions behind the proct
What's the difference between bitcoin ETF and spot< In this year's bitcoin proction rection, in theory, X2
2. Mining machinery needs to be upgraded, in theory, X2
3. The current price of bitcoin is 7500x4 = US $30000 (expected price after next year's proction rection)

ring this period, the return comparison between holding spot money and ETF fund is as follows:
1, Up to 15 times (compound interest calculation)
there is no doubt that bitcoin ETF is the best investment choice!

6. In Huawei's newly released mobile phones, there is the hardware of digital currency. Maybe there will be corresponding security measures at that time

7. There are too many swindlers now. Don't believe anything without authentication. There are so many tricks in the world. You can't submit your ID card and bank card at the same time. Unless you operate by yourself, you don't provide anything for the current network hacker, and the money of your bank card is still missing. Besides, you have so many certificates. Wake up and don't think about the pie falling from the sky, Working hard to earn money is the right way.

8. At present, the entry threshold of bitcoin is relatively low, and the exchange platform is much more mature. The domestic recommendation of okex is that the transaction depth and volume are relatively large, the transaction is fast and stable, and there are many supported currencies. In terms of transaction, it supports legal currency, currency leverage, and contracts. It should be easier to get started if you have futures experience. Thank you for taking my answer. If you don't understand, please feel free to ask

9. Bitcoin futures is a highly volatile variety, and the futures itself is a margin trading mechanism, generally with dozens of times of leverage (specific details can be found on the website of the Chicago Futures Exchange in the United States). If the newcomers have not systematically studied price behavior and system trading, the operational risk is very high, A big fluctuation may make the novice bankrupt overnight (it's not really a scare. Just look at the bitcoin crash a few years ago). So do futures is generally considered after the technical excellence.
