Futures Trading
A type of trading where you agree to buy or sell crypto at a future price — often used with leverage.
Futures trading lets you speculate on crypto prices
without owning the actual coins.
You agree to buy or sell an asset at a specific price in the future —
but most futures traders simply close the trade before it expires
to profit from price movements.
How it works
- You can go long (bet on price going up)
or go short (bet on price going down). - You can use leverage, meaning you borrow funds to open a larger position.
- Profits and losses move faster — small market moves can make or break a trade.
Why it matters
Futures trading helps provide liquidity to the market
and allows advanced strategies like hedging and arbitrage.
But it also carries high risk, especially with leverage.
💡 Lanzo Tip
Start small. Even 2x leverage can be risky in volatile crypto markets.
Never open a futures trade without a stop-loss and clear plan ⚡
