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 ⚡
