Contango in crypto markets means futures trade above spot. That gap is the basis, and it can flip to backwardation when the market is stressed.

Your liquidation price is where your margin balance falls to the maintenance margin. Work it out from your entry price, leverage and margin mode.

A crypto perpetual future tracks a coin's price with no expiry date. Funding payments and leverage shape the risks that traders take on these contracts.

Backwardation means a crypto futures contract trades below spot. The gap is called the basis, and it can appear in Bitcoin and Ether futures.

Long and short liquidations are forced closes of leveraged crypto trades by an exchange. A long is closed when price falls, a short when price rises.

You interpret open interest with price changes by comparing their directions over the same window. The four pairings show new longs, new shorts or closing.

Maintenance margin is the minimum collateral a crypto futures position must keep. Exchanges set the rate by contract and can liquidate below it.

A cross margin position uses your whole account balance as shared collateral for every open trade. A loss on one position can affect the others.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
An isolated margin position sets aside collateral for one leveraged trade, capping losses to that amount. The exchange can liquidate just that position.

Spot crypto trading buys the coin itself, while a crypto futures contract tracks its price without ownership. Futures settle in cash and often use margin.

A stop loss order tells a crypto exchange to place a trade when a trigger price is reached. It is a conditional order, and its fill price can differ from the stop.

Slippage in spot trading is the gap between your expected price and the price your fill actually gets. Thin liquidity and fast moves widen it.

NFT ownership is control of a blockchain token; copyright is a separate legal right in a work. Buying an NFT usually does not transfer copyright.

Add exchange fee, bid-ask spread, and network fee to estimate the true cost of a crypto trade. Check maker or taker rates before you confirm.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
The bid-ask spread is the gap between the best buy and sell orders on a crypto exchange. It is a cost separate from fees and widens when liquidity is thin.

Order book depth shows how much crypto can trade near the current price before it moves. Thin depth makes larger orders slip to worse prices.

A stop-limit order on a crypto exchange triggers a limit order at a chosen stop price. The limit price can leave it unfilled if the market moves past it.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
A crypto market order buys or sells a coin right away at the best available price. It fills against the order book, and slippage can worsen your fill.
By Vahe HakobyanRead
A limit order buys or sells crypto only at your chosen price or better; if it cannot fill right away, it usually rests on the exchange order book.
