Digital currency leveraged trading futures
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 situationin view of the uncontrollable rise and fall of digital currency, it is not recommended to increase leverage or play futures. The risk is too high.
1. Legitimacy
the domestic futures market countries set up financial derivatives trading venues, which are composed of four exchanges, namely, China Gold Exchange, Shanghai Futures Exchange, big business exchange and Zheng business exchange, which are supervised and managed by China Securities Regulatory Commission, futures monitoring center and futures association according to law
except bitcoin, which has a perfect management mechanism, the management of other digital currencies is chaotic and belongs to non-governmental organizations. Governments have never recognized the legality of digital currencies. Credit is completely managed by the self-discipline of issuers and participants, which poses great risks
Domestic futures: 9:00-10:15 a.m., 10:30-11:30 p.m. and 13:30-15:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday (except holidays)digital currency: it can be traded 24 hours a day, and the trading time is in line with the international market
3. Proct selection
domestic futures: at present, there are dozens of futures varieties, and each variety has at least four months of contract, with standardized management and large trading volume, so it is difficult for funds to control the market
digital currency: the management is not standardized. Although many non-governmental organizations or indivials have set up a lot of digital currencies, the information is limited, and it is difficult to understand the situation of a certain digital currency. Some digital currencies have hierarchical relationship between the upper and lower families. Investing in a certain digital currency is a matter of luck, without any data as a reference
4, two-way trading
domestic futures, with its own leverage, can be two-way trading, long and short can be, t + 0 trading, after the profit can appear
digital currency: long by one side, and the so-called depletion of power resources to mine, the relationship between the superior and the subordinate profits
how 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.
digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English, and is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy
digital currency is a kind of unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of specific virtual communities. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as a digital representation of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency. However, because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or it can be transferred, stored or traded in electronic form
Futures:
futures, whose English name is futures, is totally different from spot. Spot is actually tradable goods (commodities). Futures are mainly not goods, but standardized tradable contracts based on certain popular procts such as cotton, soybean, oil, and financial assets such as stocks and bonds. Therefore, the subject matter can be a commodity (such as gold, crude oil, agricultural procts) or a financial instrument
the days of futures settlement can be one week later, one month later, three months later, or even one year later
a contract or agreement to buy or sell futures is called a futures contract. The place where futures are traded is called the futures market. Investors can invest or speculate in futures
foreign exchange:
foreign exchange, English name is foreign currency, which is the creditor's rights that the monetary Administration (central bank, monetary management institution, foreign exchange stabilization fund and the Ministry of Finance) can use in the event of balance of payments deficit in the form of bank deposits, treasury bonds of the Ministry of finance, long-term and short-term government securities, etc
it includes foreign currency, foreign currency deposits, foreign currency securities (government bonds, treasury bonds, corporate bonds, stocks, etc.), and foreign currency payment certificates (bills, bank deposit certificates, postal savings certificates, etc.)
as of 2015, China ranked first in the world in terms of foreign exchange reserves. But the United States, Japan, Germany and other state-owned private foreign exchange reserves, the country's overall foreign exchange reserves are much higher than China.

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

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
