Digital currency leverage
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 time4. 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 situationhow to use leverage
1. Long (buy up)
here, take BTC / usdt leverage trading as an example (usdt vs. US dollar, 1 usdt = US dollar) to introce how to use bitcoin leverage. Assuming that the current price of bitcoin is US $10000, and you predict that the price will rise in the near future, you can choose to be long.
if you have only 10000 usdt principal and the platform is triple leverage, you can borrow another 20000 usdt from the trading platform, so the principal is now 30000 usdt; If it is 5 times leverage, it can borrow 40000 usdt, 10 times leverage is 90000 usdt... And so on
buy three bitcoins with 30000 usdt, sell them when they reach 20000 usdt, and get 60000 US dollars of bitcoin, dect 10000 principal and 20000 loan, and make a profit of 30000 US dollars
if you don't use leverage trading, you can only make a profit of 10000 usdt if you buy a bitcoin at 10000 usdt
of course, if the judgment is wrong, bitcoin will only lose 5000 usdt in currency trading and 15000 usdt in leverage trading
2. Short (buy down)
take BTC / usdt triple leverage trading as an example. At present, the price of bitcoin is 20000 usdt. If you think that the price of bitcoin will drop to 10000 usdt, and you have 10000 usdt in your hand, you can borrow one bitcoin from the platform (short can only borrow the currency you choose to short), and sell it when the price of bitcoin is 20000 usdt, Then, when the bitcoin price is 10000 usdt, buy it back to the platform, and you can make a profit of 10000 usdt
in fact, bitcoin leveraged trading plays a role in amplifying revenue, but it also magnifies risk
there are many digital currency trading platforms, and the main procts promoted by each platform are also different. Some are mainly spot trading, and some are futures trading. Among them, futures trading is contract trading, that is, leverage. The better platforms are coin stations, which can be seen by contract friends.

I think this is an investor's mentality, which has two aspects: one is the mentality of holding bitcoin, the other is the mentality of not holding bitcoin
① when you hold bitcoin, if you care about the change of market price, you are often controlled by the makers, neither selling nor buying. Because no matter you buy or sell, you will die in the end. Therefore, you need to change your mind and have a long-term view. It's easier to make profits in the long run. Feng Lun's definition of investment and speculation is based on time. The banker is the controller of speculation, and the retail investors can't play. Therefore, we should make investment and long-term investment, and don't care too much about the rise and fall of the moment. If we are anxious, we will be confused
② if you don't own bitcoin, you should be calm. The rise and fall have nothing to do with you. What's your hurry. Slowly wait for a good time to buy, and then return to the mentality of ①

it is also possible to use bitcoin to trade on Fuxiang's Binary Options website. The trading rules of bitcoin's binary options are different from other forms of trading. The bitcoin's binary options provided by Fuxiang's binary options trading platform are more "simple" and "rough". What you need to do is to judge the entry point according to the expiration time, as shown in the figure, I believe that the current price still has the opportunity to rise before 04:00 on December 12, so I will buy a 100 dollar call option contract at this price (US $393.91). When it matures, as long as the price is higher than US $393.91, Xiaobian will make 70% profit, that is US $70
The basic operation course of bitcoin binary option is as follows:
③ input the amount you want to invest in the order area, and then click "buy"
to complete the operation of an order. You just need to wait for the expiration, and the order will automatically settle whether it is profitable or not
