Contracts on digital currency exchanges

1. 1. digital currency contract, also known as futures contract. In short, it's business in the future. A standardized contract uniformly formulated by the exchange to deliver a certain quantity and quality at a specific time and place in the future. The vast majority of users use the margin system of futures contracts, add 10 or even 20 times leverage to leverage big funds, and then use the index fluctuation to buy low and sell high trading contracts, so as to earn double profits< 2. Perpetual contracts are derivatives. From the perspective of trading, it is similar to the traditional futures contract, but there are some differences. First of all, it has no maturity or settlement date. The perpetual swap contract is similar to a margin spot market, so its trading price is close to the underlying reference index price, which is different from the futures contract. Due to the basis, the trading price difference of the futures contract may be significantly different. Secondly, the main mechanism of anchoring spot price is capital cost< At present, rolling spot futures is the main form of perpetual contracts. Rolling contract is a kind of futures contract settled on the same day and automatically extended. Profit and loss are settled on each trading day, and the contract position held by traders will be automatically extended at the end of the trading day. In addition, the cash flow of assets will be exchanged, and the long investors will pay the capital cost to the short investors to compensate the capital cost of the short investors
3. Option contract is a kind of agreement, which can give traders the right to buy or sell assets at a predetermined price before a specific date or on a specific date. Option contracts are trading derivatives that can be based on a wide range of underlying assets, including stocks and cryptocurrencies. These contracts may also come from information such as financial indicators. Generally, option contracts are used to hedge the risk of existing positions and speculative transactions.

Binance exchange, with rapid development, has become one of the top five exchanges in the world in just half a year. Unlike idcm.io, which was the first to support vhkd, binance directly issued its own token BNB and launched the exchange

advantages: large trading volume; Support multiple computers and mobile phones; Multi language support; More currencies: 99 cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC and BNB are supported, 235 paired trading markets are available, and the service charge is low; It's faster to recharge and withdraw money

disadvantage: they have no futures and OTC trading, and only support currency trading, and stopped the service to domestic users some time ago, so domestic users need to choose carefully. At the same time, because binance is an exchange trading platform, it cannot be traded directly with legal currency, so it needs to use other platforms to buy cryptocurrency

it's not very convenient to recharge it to coin an network. In addition, in February and March of this year, binance suffered serious security incidents and hackers' leek cutting attacks, and its security performance was questioned

extended information:

the process of digital currency trading through the platform is as follows:

(1) investors should first register accounts, and obtain digital currency accounts and US dollar or other foreign exchange accounts

(2) users can buy and sell digital currency with the money in their cash account, just like buying and selling stocks and futures

(3) the trading platform will sort the buying requests and selling requests according to the rules and start to match them. If they meet the requirements, the transaction will be concluded

(4) e to the difference between the buy and sell volumes submitted by users, a buy or sell request may be partially executed

the mode of digital currency trading through operating companies is as follows: take Ruibo coin as an example, Ruibo coin is operated by professional operating company opencoin, ripple protocol was originally designed based on means of payment, and the design idea is based on acquaintance network and trust chain

to use ripple network for remittance or loan, the premise is that in the network, the payee and the payer must be friends (mutual trust relationship is established), or have common friends (trust chain is formed through the transmission of friends), otherwise the trust chain between the user and other users cannot be established, and the transfer cannot be carried out

3. It depends on which platform you want to go to. There are different ways to go without a platform. I know that z and B can submit applications directly on the web page

4. The market is in a mess. You can go there with money

5. Digital currency exchange and IPO are very similar. There are also securities companies (market makers) and money fees (listing fees and recommendation fees). But the difference is that IPO has law firms, clubs and currency circles. There is only one consensus, and then asset liquidity banks look at market makers to provide.

The contract transaction of digital currency is not safe. There are still many loopholes in the digital currency trading platform, for example, the most common are the following six kinds:

1. Denial of service attack

denial of service attack is the most important attack against the digital currency trading platform at present. Through denial of service attack, the attacker makes the trading platform unable to access normally, Because users can not accurately distinguish the degree of attack, it often causes panic asset transfer, which brings some loss

2. Phishing incident

even the best technical measures at present can not make the digital currency trading platform avoid phishing attacks. Some hackers and criminals can confuse digital currency investors by means of fake domain names or fake pages, while ordinary investors can't identify the authenticity, so it's easy to cause asset losses

Many digital currency trading platforms use a single private key to protect the hot wallet. If hackers can access a single private key, they can crack the hot wallet related to the private key. For example, in the attack on yapizon of Seoul stock exchange in 2017, the attackers stole hot wallets from the trading platform twice in a year, resulting in a total loss of nearly 50% of the assets of the trading platform and eventually leading to the bankruptcy of the trading platform

Fourth, e to the lack of perfect risk isolation measures, or ineffective supervision on the rights of employees, some employees who have the operation rights of the platform use internal trust to seek unjust wealth for themselves. For example, in 2016, the event of employees stealing bitcoin on shapeshift caused a total loss of US $230000 to the trading platform by stealing and reselling sensitive information to others

Fifth, the software vulnerability of digital currency trading platform includes single sign on vulnerability, OAuth protocol vulnerability and so on. At present, all countries have laws requiring banks or other financial institutions to implement information security measures to protect customers' deposits. However, e to the fact that the blockchain field is still in its infancy, there is a lack of such specifications for encrypting digital assets. Therefore, it is not accidental that many trading platforms have a large number of loopholes in the absence of security constraints

6. Transaction malleability the technical supporters of blockchain often think that blockchain transactions are highly secure because they are recorded on records that are said to be unchangeable, but each transaction needs to have a corresponding signature, and the records can be forged temporarily before the final confirmation of the transaction

rules of contract transaction

1. Transaction time

contract transaction is 7 * 24 hours transaction, which will be interrupted only ring the settlement or delivery period of 16:00 (UTC + 8) every Friday. In the last 10 minutes before delivery, the contract can only be closed, not opened

Transaction types are divided into two types, opening and closing. Opening and closing positions are divided into two directions: buying and selling:

buying open long (bullish) refers to buying a certain number of contracts when users are bullish and bullish on the index. Carry out "buy open more" operation, match success will increase long position

selling pingo (multi order closing) refers to the selling contract that the user makes up for when he is no longer bullish on the future index, offsets with the current buying contract and exits the market. Carry on "sell flat much" operation, match after success, will rece long position

short selling (bearish) refers to the new sale of a certain number of certain contracts when the user is short or bearish on the index. Carry out the operation of "sell short" and increase the short position after successful matching

buy close (short single close) refers to the buy contract that the user will not be bearish on the future index market and make up for, offset with the current sell contract and exit the market. Carry out "buy short" operation, after matching successfully, short position will be reced

3. Order method

limit order: the user needs to specify the price and quantity of the order. Limit order can be used for opening and closing positions

order at opposite price: if you choose to order at opposite price, you can only enter the order quantity, not the order price. The system will read the latest competitor price at the moment of receiving the entrustment (if the user buys, the competitor price is the selling price of 1); If it is a sell, then the counter price is buy 1 price). Issue a price limit order for this counter price

4. Position

the user owns the position after opening and trading, and the positions in the same direction of the same contract will be merged. In a contract account, there can only be 6 positions at most, that is, multiple positions of current week contract, short positions of current week contract, multiple positions of next week contract, short positions of next week contract, multiple positions of quarterly contract and short positions of quarterly contract

5. Order restriction

the platform will restrict the number of single user's positions in a certain period of contract and the number of single open / close positions, so as to prevent users from manipulating the market

when the number of positions or entrustments of users is too large, the platform has the right to require users to take risk control measures, including but not limited to cancellation of orders, closing positions, etc. The platform has the right to adopt measures including but not limited to limiting the total number of positions, limiting the total number of consignments, limiting the opening of positions, withdrawing orders, forcibly closing positions, etc. for risk control

7. Whether the currency is broken or not has nothing to do with several exchanges. It has something to do with the quality of the currency and the trader. Of course, if it can be listed on several major exchanges, the trading depth and market acceptance of this currency will be greatly improved, and there will be better development.

8. Okex is a good platform with high security and the largest trading volume in the world. It supports multi currency leverage trading, legal currency trading and contract trading.
