Understanding Binance Futures Trading
A plain-language introduction to margin, leverage, liquidation and why futures require stricter limits.
What leverage changes
Leverage makes a small price move matter more relative to your margin. It can increase losses quickly and should not be treated as a shortcut to a larger return.
Watch margin and liquidation
Funding costs, maintenance margin and liquidation rules affect the position. Read the contract details rather than relying on a headline multiplier.
Set limits before emotion
Use a size, loss limit and review point that you can follow during volatility. Never use essential funds to test a leveraged product.
