Introduction to digital currency leverage

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. Take it easy! Digital currency play spot is very good! Take it and wait for the take-off! The category of leverage is playing! To a black swan or good, zero minutes!

3.

From 2015 to 2017, the price of bitcoin increased from more than $100 to $17000, a 100 fold increase. Today, the market value of various numerical currencies is more than 700 billion US dollars. The myth of their benefits is not nonsense

but there are many things behind the chaotic digital currency. You may ask why air currency can be listed on the stock exchange? It's very simple. The exchange also has to charge a part of the fee. Raise the price and then sell it to make money. So the question is, how to identify air currency

first of all, you need to look at the projects behind the digital currency and see what their team background is. Generally speaking, teams without experience in the instry tend to earn money, but how much experience do they have? It is better to be able to participate in the construction of Ethereum and bitstock communities. Such a team is often more reliable. This requires investors to have a certain screening ability to identify good or bad

secondly, there is no way to implement many projects. How can we identify them? In addition to the ability of the team, we also need to see the feasibility, which requires us to systematically learn the knowledge of bitcoin and blockchain. For example, Zhu Jiawei, the COO of fire coin network, learned the blockchain from 0 to 1, and clearly described the development process of bitcoin and blockchain in the form of audio and text. Besides, don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott's "blockchain revolution" are worthy of careful taste

moreover, the bubble of digital money is very large nowadays. In the bubble, it is not difficult to make money, but the key is not to be greedy. Long term holding is not good, but it can be operated in a short term. You can make money if you want. However, the key is that people are all profit-making and greed is their nature. Therefore, many people do not accept what they see. They originally made money, but later they lost everything. The gain is not worth the loss. Therefore, it is necessary to control greed

4. Digital currency has only played BTC leverage ETF and cell leverage ETF. Cell leverage currency is more and there is arbitrage mechanism

5. The biggest difference between leveraged trading and spot trading is multiple
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.

6. It doesn't seem to be useful. There are too few coins to withdraw. It's a way to attract users. You feel like you're getting cheap, but you don't. You have to sign up for a transaction to really get these bitcoins.

7. Borrow which currency is bearish which currency. For example: eth / usdt borrowing eth is to watch eth fall while borrowing usdt is to watch usdt fall.
