Think crypto can only make money when prices go up? Think again. ๐
Thatโs where Perpetual Futures (Perps) come in.
The basic mechanic:
โ ๐ข Go Long โ Think price goes up? Buy. If it rises, you profit.
โ ๐ด Go Short โ Think price goes down? Sell. If it drops, you profit.
Before touching perps, know this:
โ No expiry โ Keep the position open as long as your margin holds.
โ Funding rates โ Periodic payments between longs and shorts.
โ Leverage โ Magnifies both profits AND losses.
โ Liquidation โ Too much loss and your position can be closed automatically.
The key takeaway:
Perps arenโt about predicting the market perfectly.
Theyโre about having the tools to trade both directions.
But remember: leverage can make you right faster โ or wrong faster. โ ๏ธ
