What is LBank Futures Trading?
In essence, LBank Futures is similar to other exchanges. It also allows LBank customers to execute futures contracts. Investor profits come from the market’s price movement on a particular coin, over a certain period of time. What makes LBank Futures different from other forms of trading? The answer to the question is, that the trader does not necessarily own the coin but can still make a profit from it.
Advantages of LBank Futures
- As margin trading with leverage, the coefficient of leverage is a decisive factor in the profits and risks that an investor can gain or face. The extent of these factors depends on the price movements of the spot market.
- Trading Futures in general and LBank Futures, in particular, help investors diversify their investment portfolio, even with a small amount of capital.
- Traders can diversify their positions with two different leveraged trading mechanisms:
– Cross: The position will automatically use all your capital for Margin or Futures trading (Margin/Futures account balance) to cover losses and minimize the risk of account burnout. For example, if your Margin/Futures account balance is $1000, you choose to trade with a margin of $100. In case the position is at risk, the position will automatically deduct from the remaining $900 in the account. To put it simply, $900 is the amount of capital used to collect losses. Until the funds in your account run out, your position will be liquidated.
– Isolated: The position will be limited to the amount you initially spend. This avoids the risk of losing money. An example similar to the above, if you use the Isolated mechanism and unfortunately take a risk and liquidate your position, your loss will be only $100. However, you can still adjust your position or cover your losses by adding or subtracting capital to the position from the remaining $900 balance in your account.
Disadvantages of Lbank Futures
- Futures trading has a very high-risk ratio. The higher the leverage you use, the higher the risk of the account being liquidated.
- If you are an undersized investor, you risk a quick liquidation because of the shark’s price manipulation.
