About BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN
What is BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN Futures Trading?
BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN Futures is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN at a predetermined future date and price. The futures contract derives its value from the underlying cryptocurrency, BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN in this case. Thus the price of a BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN futures contract moves broadly in sync with the price of BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN.
Trading futures is thus an alternative to actually buying or selling the underlying crypto (aka spot trading). In spot trading, you can make profit by buying BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN low and selling it at a high price. This trade however works only in a bull market, i.e. when BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN price is going up. However, in a bear market, there is no trade possible in spot trading. Furthermore, leverage trading is not possible in spot trading.
Trading BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN through futures offers several advantages over spot trading of BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN, namely ability to both long or short and get access to leverage.

Amplify trading gains with leverage
Leverage enables you to open positions that are bigger than your trading capital. If you can open a position that is 10 times bigger than your trading capital, then you have 10x leverage available to you. The maximum allowed leverage for futures listed on Delta Exchange is as high as 100x. There are two ways of thinking about leverage:
  • Leverage as capital efficiency driver : For opening a position of a given size, higher the leverage lower the trading capital required. The leverage in spot trading is always 1x, while it is 3-4x in margin trading. This means futures is 20 to 100 times more capital efficient than spot or margin trading.
  • future-guide-leverage-explanationfuture-guide-leverage-explanation-mobilefuture-guide-leverage-explanation-mobile
  • Leverage as a returns amplifier : Because in a leverage trade position size is greater than the capital deployed, impact of prices moves gets magnified. The return on capital deployed is leverage times the price return. This means that you can amplify your trading gains the effective use of leverage.
