📈 Perpetual Contract Trading: A Comprehensive Guide
Perpetual contract trading has revolutionized how traders operate in cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets. It enables traders to speculate on asset price movements without holding the actual asset, offering greater flexibility and potential for higher profits.
At Walbi, we provide perpetual contract trading with up to 500x leverage, 24/7 market access, and a suite of risk management tools to help you maximize gains while controlling risks.
This guide delves into how perpetual contracts work, their advantages, and how to start trading on Walbi.
🤔 What Are Perpetual Contracts?
Perpetual contracts are financial derivatives that allow traders to speculate on the price movements of crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum without owning the underlying asset.
Unlike traditional futures, perpetual contracts have no expiry date, meaning positions can be held indefinitely, and traders can enter or exit the market anytime.
At Walbi, perpetual contracts support up to 500x leverage, enabling traders to control larger positions with less capital, amplifying potential profits (and risks).
