In futures trading (a type of futures transaction), traders use leverage to maximize their profits. Futures traders generally prefer shorter periods - these can be minutes, hours or several days. However, some futures traders are ready to hold positions for weeks, especially during a bear market.
Indeed, this is explained by the fact that it is possible to take advantage of the fall in prices with what are called "shorts", or short sales. This is why, in the context of crypto copy trading, there are also traders who are gradually taking short positions in a bear market.
However, due to leverage, the risks are higher than for spot trading. We will teach you later how to protect yourself from it.
