Terms & Concepts
  • Leveraged Long Position: A trading strategy using borrowed funds to amplify exposure to a price increase of an asset, increasing both potential gains and potential losses.
  • Perpetual Funding Rate: A periodic fee exchanged between long and short position holders in perpetual futures contracts, designed to keep contract prices in line with spot prices.
  • Coin-Margined Open Interest: The total number of outstanding futures contracts collateralized in cryptocurrency rather than fiat, measured in coin terms to avoid price distortion.
