Bitget - Futures Trading | Trade with Risk Management

⚠ Risk Warning

Before You Start Trading Futures

↗

Leverage Magnifies Both Gains and Losses

While leverage can amplify your profits, it equally amplifies your losses. A 1% price move against a 100x leveraged position results in a 100% loss of your margin.

☠

You Can Lose More Than Your Initial Margin

In extreme market conditions, losses may exceed your posted margin. You are responsible for any deficit balance in your futures account.

⚠

Market Volatility Can Cause Liquidation

Rapid price movements, flash crashes, or low liquidity events can trigger forced liquidation of your positions before you can react.

⚖

Only Trade With Funds You Can Afford to Lose

Futures trading is not suitable for everyone. Never allocate funds needed for living expenses, emergency savings, or essential obligations.

Futures FAQ

Common questions about futures trading answered.

What is futures trading?

Futures trading involves entering a contract to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price at a specific time in the future. Perpetual futures, like those on Bitget, have no expiration date, allowing you to hold positions indefinitely as long as margin requirements are met.

How does leverage work?

Leverage allows you to control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital. For example, 10x leverage means you can open a $10,000 position with just $1,000 margin. While this amplifies potential returns, it equally amplifies potential losses.

What is liquidation?

Liquidation occurs when your position's losses exceed your margin balance. The exchange automatically closes your position to prevent further losses. The liquidation price depends on your entry price, leverage, and margin mode.

What is funding rate?

Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short position holders to keep the perpetual futures price close to the underlying asset's spot price. Positive rates mean longs pay shorts; negative rates mean shorts pay longs.

Cross vs isolated margin?

Cross margin uses your entire account balance as collateral, reducing the chance of liquidation on individual positions. Isolated margin limits risk and potential loss to the margin allocated to a specific position.

How do I set stop-loss?

You can set a stop-loss order when opening a position or add one later. Set your stop-loss price below your entry (for long positions) or above (for short positions). The order automatically closes your position if the price reaches your stop level.

What are the fees?

Bitget charges maker and taker fees for futures trades. Maker fees are typically lower as they provide liquidity. Additional costs include funding rate payments and, in cases of forced liquidation, a liquidation fee.

How do I manage risk?

Key risk management practices include: using appropriate leverage levels, always setting stop-loss orders, diversifying positions, not risking more than 1-2% of your portfolio per trade, regularly monitoring open positions, and never trading with funds you cannot afford to lose.

⚠ Risk Disclosure

WARNING: Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. You may lose your entire investment and more. The high degree of leverage available in futures trading can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade futures, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. Futures trading is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
