How To Trade Futures On KuCoin (Web)

Futures trading lets traders participate in market movements and potentially profit by going long or short on a futures contract. On KuCoin Futures, you may also use different leverage levels to reduce risk or potentially amplify profits in volatile markets.

What are long and short in futures trading?

In spot trading, traders can only profit when the value of an asset increases. Futures trading lets traders potentially profit in both directions as the value of an asset rises or falls by going long or short on a futures contract.

- By going long, a trader buys a futures contract with the expectation that the contract will rise in value in the future.

- Conversely, if a trader anticipates that the contract price will drop in the future, they can sell a futures contract to go short.
