Detailed Explanation of Perptual Futures Mechanism

The biggest difference between HYPER Futures and traditional futures is:

• No expiration date: Investors can hold positions for the long term;
• Funding Rate Mechanism: Transfers funds periodically based on the long and short position ratio to avoid price deviation;
• Automatic liquidation mechanism: If the floating loss exceeds the margin ratio, liquidation will be triggered.

Taking the current rate of +0.0012% as an example, it indicates that the long position needs to regularly pay the short position a certain proportion of interest.

The existence of the funding rate encourages market prices to align with spot prices, while also providing room for arbitrageurs.

Newbie trading in three steps

1. Choose a platform to open a futures account: Currently, mainstream exchanges like Gate have launched HYPER Futures, and you can select this trading pair in the futures section.
2. Set Position and Leverage: It is recommended that newbies start with 2-3 times leverage to avoid high-risk operations.
3. Set stop-loss and take-profit levels: for example, if the current price is 0.4399 and you are going long, you can set a stop-loss at 0.4250 and a take-profit at 0.4600 to ensure that the risk is controllable.

• The amount of each position should not exceed 20% of the total funds.
• Observe the directional changes of MA30 and MA60 as a trend reference.
• Set mobile take profit to lock in profit space.
