Available Types of Investment on Bybit
There are forward contracts and reverse contracts currently online, and reverse contracts are supported by reverse contracts: BTCUSD, ETHUSD, XRPUSD, and EOSUSD are each worth $1.
The purchase and sale contract does not use the U.S. dollar itself, but a margin denominated in digital currency.
Reverse contract, also known as a currency-based contract.
Traders need to confirm the amount of USD traded first and then use the base currency (such as BTC, ETH) to calculate the margin, profit and loss.
If a trader wants to trade in a Bitcoin contract, he must use Bitcoin as his base currency, and if he trades in an Ethereum contract, he must hold Ethereum.
The forward contracts include BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, LINKUSDT, LTCUSDT, XTZUSDT perpetual contracts, and each contract is worth 1 USDT.
The USDT contract, also known as the forward contract, is commonly known as the U standard/gold standard.
The forward contract margin adopts USDT; the USDT contract has the following characteristics: the margin calculation and profit and loss calculation of the USDT forward contract are more intuitive than the reverse contract.
When trading a 1BTC contract, the price fluctuates by 100USDT, and the trader has a profit/loss of 100USDT, and the profit and loss are proportional to the USDT curve.
As you can see from the above picture, there are still trading activities in the forward contract, and the handling fee is 30% off. So cost-effective, don’t come to experience the experience.
Taking the current price of 3600 USD per BTC as an example, if 1 BTC is recharged in the account, shorting 3,600 contracts is equivalent to holding 3,600 US dollars in a short position, and not opening any position is equivalent to holding 1 BTC spot. Only when the number of short contracts is greater than 3,600, the price decline will generate real profit. Correspondingly, when holding any long position greater than 0, you can get more coins when it rises.
