When you’re trading your money, you’d better know the facts. Here’s one to note… The buying and selling of the actual Ether coin, or any cryptocurrency, for that matter, is not regulated, and doesn’t take place on a centralized market. Meanwhile, Nano Ether Futures trading and the contracts themselves are regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to ensure competitive and efficient markets and the protection of investors against manipulation, abusive trade practices, and fraud.
Trading crypto, like Ether, on unregulated crypto exchanges, fails to provide an element critical to traders: Price Discovery. Defined, price discovery is the act of determining a fair price for an asset or commodity. It is the central function to an efficient marketplace. This means all traders across the globe see the same bid and ask prices simultaneously when trading Nano Ether Futures.
The trading tactic known as hedging, is a tool in every futures trader’s toolbox. Hedging is a form of insurance; using futures contracts to “hedge” existing positions in other asset classes. If you own the Ether coin, you could use Nano Ether Futures to insure your existing Ether position. For example, let’s say you think the price of Ether will drop over the coming days or weeks. Just sell some Nano Ether Futures contracts representing the amount of the Ether coin you own. When the price of Ether drops, the short futures contracts rise in value and hedge your existing position in the Ether coin. Hedging… one of the benefits of futures. Please note that this example simply illustrates the concept of hedging. There are many real-world variables to consider. Hedging with futures does not eliminate risk, it is a method that provides for the management of risk.
Tradovate gives you the tools you need to buy, sell and trade Nano Ether Futures anywhere, anytime and on any device.
