Welcome back — missed you this week.
This image shows a futures trading interface for a cryptocurrency pair, BIOUSDT. Here's a breakdown of what each section means:
-
Futures Contract:
- BIOUSDT Perp -3.79%: This indicates you are looking at a Perpetual Futures contract for BIO against USDT (Tether). "Perp" means it has no expiry date. "-3.79%" shows the percentage change in the contract's price over a specific period (usually 24 hours).
- Available: This is the amount of USDT you have in your account that can be used as margin for opening new trades.
-
Trade Parameters (TP/SL):
- TP/SL: Stands for Take Profit and Stop Loss. These are automated orders to close your position once the price reaches a certain level.
- 0.032 (TP): If you open a long position, this is the price at which your trade will automatically close to secure profit. If you open a short position, this would be a stop loss.
