What is Binance Futures?

Binance Futures is a futures trading platform of the Binance exchange. With this platform, you can make a profit when the market goes up or down by guessing the price of a specific cryptocurrency without you necessarily owning the coin.

At the moment, Binance exchange has two futures trading platforms. The first platform is the Binance Futures platform. The second platform is Binance JEX, but JEX is quite “inferior” compared to Futures. With leverage of x125, the Futures platform is still the “money machine” of Binance.

On November 28, 2019, the 2nd perpetual futures contract – ETH/USDT was launched on Binance Futures. With this contract, the user can customize the leverage from x1 up to x50x.

Update 4/10/2020: The platform has been updated with many other perpetual futures contracts such as BCH, XRP, EOS, etc.

Leverage

When opening a position, you have to pay an initial amount to maintain the position. The initial amount is called the Initial Margin. The maintenance amount is the Maintenance Margin.

Leverage will decrease if the nominal value of the position increases according to the following table:

Tỷ lệ đòn bẩy

To understand better, please refer to the three examples below.

Suppose BTC price 10000 USDT and you have 40000 USDT in collateral and choose 125x leverage.

Example 1: You open 1 BTC, nominal value 10,000 USDT

  • Initial Margin: 10,000 * 0.8% = 80 USDT
  • Maintenance Margin:10,000 * 0.4% = 40 USDT
  • Collateral: 40000 – 40 = 39960 USDT Liquidation
  • price: 10000 – 39960/1 <0; you will never get liquidated

Example 2: You open 4 BTC, nominal value 40,000 USDT

  • Initial Margin: 40,000 * 0.8% = 320 USDT
  • Maintenance Margin: 40,000 * 0.4% = 160 USDT
  • Collateral: 30000 – 160= 39840 USDT Liquidation
  • price: 10000 – 39840/4 = 40
  • Bankruptcy price: 10000 – 40000/4 = 0

Example 3: You open 6 BTC, nominal value meaning 60,000 USDT

With 125x leverage, the nominal value does not exceed 50000 USDT. To execute this order, you have to lower the leverage to lower levels.

Initial Margin

The Initial Margin is the amount you need to have when you open a wallet. For example, when the leverage is 125x. At this point, the real amount you have to pay to open the position is 1/125 of the value of the contract.

Maintenance Margin

Maintenance Margin is the amount you must maintain in your margin account after opening a position. To avoid auto-liquidation, you should actively liquidate before the collateral falls below the Maintenance Margin.

Funding Rate

This is the amount the buyer (Maker) will have to pay the seller (Taker). Funding will be done once every 8 hours at 0.01%, i.e., 0.03%/day.

This 0.01% level is subject to change depending on market conditions. This is a direct transaction between two parties, so Binance does not collect any money.

Note: Funding Rate will never exceed 0.05%.
