Mt.Gox Exchange Hacked June 19, 2011
By gaining access to official auditor credentials working for the Mt.Gox bitcoin exchange, a hacker downloads a slightly out-of-date copy of the user’s database of the website, including an unsecured hash email address and password.

Using their newly found administrator-level access to the site, they offer countless offers to sell non-existent bitcoin, by deflating the price until the current rate is only $ 0.01 per coin.

Mt. Gox reversed fraudulent transactions and stopped trading for seven days to secure their system, and two other large exchanges issued temporary suspension while their security was reviewed.

Shortly thereafter, a database copy was leaked and was used to launch attacks on accounts owned by users of the MyBitcoin online wallet service that share the same password on both sites, resulting in the theft of more than 4,019 BTC from around 600 wallets.

The IRS policy document states Bitcoin as property, not currency, is subject to capital gains tax – with taxes calculated on every change in purchasing power for a certain amount of bitcoin, from the time it was earned to the time it was spent.

This decision is widely scorned as complicated and too complicated, requiring currency users to record the Bitcoin market price with each transaction, subject to a series of calculations that are mostly unknown. Others, however, commented that the net tax paid is often smaller than if Bitcoin was treated as a viable currency – but for markets that appear innocent tax-exempt, it’s a hard blow to soften.

Unknown hackers were able to steal 18,866 bitcoins from Bitstamp’s operational hot wallet, worth around $ 5.2 million dollars.
The attackers used social engineering against the Bitstamp Luka Kodric system administrator to gain access to 2 Bitstamp servers and then the hot wallet private key. The wallet really ran out of all bitcoin soon after.
After finding a violation, Bitstamp immediately shut down the exchange operation for 8 days because he audited his system and rebuilt his trading platform.
The theft represents “a small part of the total Bitcoin Bitstamp reserve” because most of the company’s Bitcoin funds remain untouched in offline “cloud” storage.
No customer account balance is affected. However, according to a leaked internal Bitstamp report about the incident, the damage to the company’s reputation and customer trust far exceeds its monetary Bitcoin loss.

New York State Releases the BitLicense June 3 2015
Bitcoin Value: $ 226.9 Bitcoin Value 10 days later: $ 232.05
New York State Department of Trustees, Benjamin Lawsky, released a set of special rules intended to regulate the business of Bitcoin and digital currencies that serve customers located in the state of New York.
This regulation is the first to be directly targeted at the digital currency business.
According to regulations, digital currency companies serving NY customers must file “BitLicense” within 45 days or be considered a “violation of the law”.
The $ 5,000 BitLicense application and its regulations cover a number of business requirements, such as employee fingerprints for the FBI, obtaining written approval of all new business activities, and maintaining “company revenue and profits can only be invested in US dollars”.
In response, New York-based customers were banned and removed by a number of Bitcoin companies, including Bitfinex, Kraken, Bitquick, and ShapeShift.

Bitcoin XT Fork Released – 15 August 2015
Bitcoin Value: $ 267.24 Bitcoin Value 10 days later: $ 214.3
Bitcoin Core developers, Mike Hearn and Gavin Andresen released a separate version of the Bitcoin client software, called Bitcoin XT.
This release illustrates the ongoing controversy in the Bitcoin development community: what limits should be placed on the size of the Bitcoin block? Bitcoin XT implements BIP 101,
which proposes “replacing the maximum block size of one fixed megabyte with the maximum size that grows over time at a predictable rate”.
The release of Bitcoin XT heightened concerns that the Bitcoin community might not be able to reach consensus on this issue, and blockchain might be difficult, resulting in two separate versions of the global Bitcoin ledger.

It is still unclear whether the customer’s funds are insured by BitGo and whether the customer will be fully replaced.
The price of Bitcoin fell almost 20% to $ 480 USD that day before starting a gradual recovery.

maybe I don’t believe it, and I have my own prediction “prediction bitcoin golden cross”  Bitcoin back price $12k waiting 3 month
Bitcoin Could Still Plunge to $6,000, Says Top Analyst articles newsbtc.com
Bitcoin plunged deeply a day after it climbed above the $10,000 milestone. And according to one top market analyst, the cryptocurrency could still fall back towards $6,000.
Full-time trader PentarhUdi confirmed that bitcoin is trending in a giant triangle since it established an all-time high of circa $20,000 in December 2017. The cryptocurrency’s jump to $10,000 allowed it to restest the Triangle Resistance for the first time in eight months.

The same level, as shown via a bold redded descending trendline in the chart above, earlier sent prices back. PentarhUdi theorized it could repeat the pattern.
“It is interesting that B-waves inside have impulsive sub counts,” the analyst wrote. “We have wave b of (C) here in its termination state, which shows textbook ending diagonal with falling volume and multiple oscillator bearish divergences. Ending diagonal allows some upside from here even temporary breaking resistance lines.”

Bitcoin Downside Target

bitcoin pullback could lead bitcoin to complete the wave [C]. The move concludes towards the Triangle Support, the light redded ascending trendline on the chart above, sitting below $6,000. PentarhUdi thinks the pullback could extend towards the 200-weekly moving average, a wave that is now near $5,300.
“If this idea is correct, price should fall from current levels down to weekly MA 200 in term of 1-3 months,” he wrote.

The downside target also coincides with the 78.6 percent Fibonacci level of the swing from the local high of circa $14,000 to low of circa $3,120. It is also near the support of the greened Descending Channel as NewsBTC discussed in one of its earlier analysis.
More so, a move back into the Descending Channel would completely invalidate the breakout as fakeout.

The Bullish Case

PentarhUdi mentioned certain price moves that could totally invalidate the giant triangle range. The analyst noted that bitcoin is bullish long-term, which could allow it to break above the Triangel Resistance. Meanwhile, breaking above $11,000 could also invalidate the bearish move altogether.
“Breaking upper bold red line (now or later) will open door to the long bull run. Price is long-term bullish while it stays above weekly MA 200,” said PentarhUdi.
NewsBTC’s Fib retracement lines are also targeting circa $11,300 as the next weekly resistance. Meanwhile, the 50-weekly moving average (near $8,000) could keep bitcoin from falling towards $6,000 or below.

How Closely Does Eth Follow BTC by CoinTelegraph

Truth About Crypto Price Correlation: How Closely Does ETH Follow BTC?

Cryptocurrency market sentiment is often influenced by various factors, such as expert forecasts or political events. However, if analyzing on a wider time frame, it turns out that the prices of most cryptocurrencies — especially of Ether (ETH) — could mostly depend on the valuation of Bitcoin (BTC).
The results of research conducted by analysts from Skew in November 2019 showed that ETH had been the highest-correlated cryptocurrency to BTC for two years running, with an average correlation coefficient of 0.9. Meanwhile, ETH was the highest correlated asset in 2019, as reported by the Binance research team on Jan. 22, 2020.
If this is the case, is it worth relying on correlation when buying cryptocurrencies? Could ETH be less correlated to BTC than is commonly believed? To find the answer, Cointelegraph analyzed the cryptocurrency charts for the past three years and talked to experts with opposing views on the matter.

What is the correlation?

The concept of correlation in stock market trading refers to the phenomenon when the values of two assets move in a similar direction. However, when it comes to the cryptocurrency market, correlation may apply to all assets at once. This is what happened as a result of a massive Bitcoin price crash in early 2018, followed by a simultaneous drop in the capitalization of all other cryptocurrencies.
Opinion #1: Bitcoin is king
Do the aforementioned observations mean that Bitcoin is the front-runner and key influencer of the crypto market, and is therefore the main trendsetter? Cryptocurrency exchange charts show that a decrease in the BTC price inevitably affects the exchange rate of ETH, XRP, Litecoin (LTC) and other assets.
As such, the influence of BTC price on other cryptocurrencies, and particularly on ETH, is a natural event in the digital asset market, according to traders and market analysts. Pierce Crosby, general manager at financial trading charts platform TradingView, spoke to Cointelegraph on the matter:
“Everything correlates to Bitcoin, much like in the U.S. equity market, everything correlates to the U.S. dollar. Bitcoin is the largest store of wealth for the asset class, so everything is basically ‘pegged’ against its overall performance. It’s an important distinction to make, and something people don’t really understand or take the time to consider. When we see asset prices rise — i.e. ETH or LTC, we have to benchmark it against the broader index movement.”
According to the latest report on cryptocurrency volatility, published by San Francisco Open Exchange, the current correlation between the performance of BTC and ETH is significantly higher than the correlation between the values of BTC and other altcoins. The analysts noted the actively discussed and often controversial news about Facebook’s Libra as the main reason for similar behavior of the top two cryptocurrencies.
Michaël van de Poppe, a cryptocurrency market analyst and trader at the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, told Cointelegraph that Ether will always have some correlation to Bitcoin, as “Bitcoin is the king and usually the rest will follow in the market.” He compared this correlation with the commodities markets, where gold is the leading asset, its price changes followed by other metals.
So it seems that when it comes to the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin price is indeed a barometer of investor sentiment regarding digital currencies in general. Therefore, if it changes due to systemic factors affecting the market — for example, increased volatility in traditional markets or a change in cryptocurrency regulation — the ETH rate may change in the same direction as that of BTC.
Opinion #2: ETH does not follow BTC
On the other hand, if there is an event that turns out to be a specific influencing factor for BTC price — for example, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission rejecting to accredit an exchange-traded fund application — the correlation may become negative, and ETH may increase in price amid the falling BTC rate. According to Van de Poppe, the correlation between the two leading crypto is different in various parts of the cycle:
“Some parts the correlation is high in which Ethereum outperforms Bitcoin, in some parts it’s low as Ethereum drops hard against Bitcoin, while Bitcoin trends up against USD. It’s different in different parts.”
The comparison of the BTC and ETH charts shows that some patterns of their price movements coincide over a long period of time. This correlation can be either positive (from 0 to 1), or negative (from 0 to -1). A positive correlation, such as the current correlation between BTC and ETH, suggests that if the price of Bitcoin grows significantly, ETH can also increase in its value over the same period of time. This phenomenon is especially noticeable with large price fluctuations. Notably, the BTC–ETH correlation is instantaneous in most cases — when coin prices change with a difference of several minutes or hours.
The question is, however, whether Ether is so dependent on Bitcoin as is commonly believed? As it turns out, ETH does not always accurately repeat the BTC price movements and tends to show independence rather often.
Such results were proven by the analysis of 14 significant changes in the price of BTC and ETH that occured in the period from June 2017 to December 2019, when their correlation coefficient varied from 0.26 to 0.89. The observation showed that in five out of 14 cases, the ETH price repeated the behavior of BTC — while in four cases, the correlation was negative.
The results presented above are also supported by research conducted by Three Arrows Capital hedge fund’s CEO, Su Zhu. According to his data, BTC and ETH have shown multidirectional dynamics nine times over the past three years.
Zhu also pointed to the fact that throughout the cryptocurrency market’s history, the first quarter of the year has always shown an interesting correlation between ETH and BTC. Each year, ETH demonstrated a 30% increase in price within one month, while BTC always decreased over the same period of time. Besides, Ethereum price growth almost always occurred from January to June. However, from October to December 2017, BTC showed its 538% growth followed by an increase in the prices of other cryptocurrencies. Van de Poppe told Cointelegraph on the matter:
“The reason is quite simple; the king of movers are Ethereum and Bitcoin and still, the majority of the ICOs are based on Ethereum. So when Ethereum moves, they usually follow. The same goes for the IEOs. If Binance Coin trends up, they usually follow.”
At the same time, according to Zhu, the correlation between the two cryptocurrencies indeed intensified over the past year. The possible reason for that change might be not a very successful year for the Ethereum network — particularly the team’s failure to release the full version of Ethereum 2.0.
However, researchers at San Francisco Open Exchange suggest that, in general, the high correlation of ETH may not suggest its dependence from BTC, but rather the fact that the Ethereum blockchain has received more recognition, and the price of ETH as an independent asset was significant compared to other altcoins.
What is wrong with high correlation?
The golden rule of any investor is diversification of the investment portfolio, which is usually achieved by acquiring assets with low correlation. Thus, if one of the assets rises in price, the other is likely to fall. The investor takes profit in the first case and waits for the growth of the asset’s value in the second.
However, in the cryptocurrency market, the change in prices of most coins usually occurs simultaneously. This observation is confirmed by the Binance Research study published on Jan. 22. According to its results, the average correlation between the leading altcoins by capitalization in 2019 was 0.7.
This means that in 70% of cases, cryptocurrencies such as Ether, Litecoin, EOS, XRP, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Binance Coin (BNB) and others grew and fell simultaneously. Therefore, using them to diversify the investment portfolio might not make sense. Analyst Larry Chermak believes that the excessive interdependence between assets creates obstacles to the effective diversification of the investment portfolio.
An introduction of tokenized securities may somewhat mitigate the problem because such financial instruments do not correlate with the wider market. However, this is a separate class of digital assets, which — unlike permissionless assets — requires strict compliance with KYC/AML.
Proving correlations is possible but hard
In this unstable market, no one can know what the correlation of cryptocurrencies will be in a year, a month or even a week. Likewise, it cannot be argued that there is a complete and direct correlation between the ETH and BTC prices. Most of the time, ETH really follows BTC, but there are occasionally times when it demonstrates independence and shows good results.
Moreover, according to Salah-Eddine Bouhmidi, a financial market analyst at DailyFX & IG, there is still not enough data to prove whether the correlation is positive or negative: “The possible positive correlation may be only becoming visible because Bitcoin is still the main driver of the market. If Bitcoin gets momentum, others also start to pick up.” Van de Poppe shared the same point of view:
“Correlation is important in this market, however, the significance of correlation is hard to test in such a way that proving correlations is almost impossible. There’s been tests of seeking correlations between equity markets and cryptomarkets, but no correlation was found for several reasons, while the charts imply something else. Same goes for altcoin / Bitcoin cycles.”
Bouhmidi also noted that correlation is an important tool in the cryptocurrency market, but that one should not rely on it entirely — because when it comes to crypto, people should be careful:
“A correlation can only be statistically significant if you have a huge database or sample size. Cryptocurrencies are still young and do not have a huge historical data. I would say that we can see correlations in the crypto markets, but we still do not know whether they are robust.”

Bitcoin Rejection HNS im not follow articles newsbtc.com

This prediction nwsbtc.com good but i think Bitcoin goto bull in this week.

Bitcoin traded to a new 2020 high at $9,575 and recently corrected lower against the US Dollar. It seems like an inverse head and shoulder pattern is forming, which could drag BTC towards $8,800.
After a steady rise, bitcoin price struggled to gain momentum above $9,500 against the US Dollar.
The price is currently declining and it could slide below the $9,150 support.

There was a break below a major bullish trend line with support near $9,400 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).

A crucial inverse head and shoulders pattern is likely forming with support near $9,150.
Bitcoin Is at Risk of a Sharp Decline

This past week, bitcoin extended its upward move above the $9,200 and $9,400 levels against the US Dollar. BTC price even spiked above the $9,500 resistance area and settled above the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).

However, the bulls struggled to remain in action above the $9,500 resistance area. A high was formed near $9,575 and the price started a downside correction. It traded below the $9,440 and $9,400 support levels.

More importantly, there was a break below a major bullish trend line with support near $9,400 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. Besides, bitcoin traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the larger upward move from the $8,214 low to $9,575 high.

Bitcoin price

The price is now trading near the key $9,150 support. Furthermore, it seems like a crucial inverse head and shoulders pattern is forming with support near $9,150 on the same chart.

If there is a downside break below the $9,150 support, bitcoin bears are likely to take control. In the mentioned case, the first target for the bears could be $8,895. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the larger upward move from the $8,214 low to $9,575 high.

The main supports below $9,000 are near the $8,880 and $8,800 levels. Moreover, the 100 simple moving average (4-hours) is also near the $8,800 area. Therefore, the bulls are most likely to protect the key $8,800 support level in the near term.
What if BTC Holds $9,150

It is quite clear that $9,150 is a breakdown support area. If bitcoin bulls are able to protect the $9,150 support, the price might restart its upward move.
On the upside, an immediate resistance is $9,400. The main hurdle is near the $9,500 and $9,580 levels, above which the price is likely to surge towards the $10,000 barrier.

Technical indicators

4 hours MACD – The MACD for BTC/USD is slowly gaining pace in the bearish zone.
4 hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is just below the 50 level.
Major Support Level – $9,150
Major Resistance Level – $9,500

Bicoin Prediction Today
Daily Bitcoin Predictions . AMsadad.Com. Greetings, hopefully there will be no profits left behind today, friends in the @trader_ITC group, because today bitcoin is rising wildly as we talked about yesterday.
Stay in the Bitcoin area Bullish Comeback finally today also entered at 1d resistance at the price of 9388 USD – 9420 USD.
And this adds to my belief in the previous prediction that Bitcoin Towards Golden Cross on 31 January was previously predicted.
If anyone hasn’t read, please read right away and for today I will discuss the next bitcoin resistance.
Bitcoin Chart 1D
On the 1d bitcoin chart it is still very good for investors to immediately go in and hold up to profit, yes right up to profit therefore if bitcoin correction don’t rush to sell,

Is it possible correction …
Later I will answer on the chart with a smaller TimFrame, and for the 1d bitcoin chart I still say Bitcoin Bullish Comeback .

Please pay attention to the smaller Bitcoin Chart because for the accuracy of our predictions it is advisable to be wise in all TFcharts.
Bitcoin Chart 4h
If you see above what is your opinion creepy?
So with this I can confirm the answer is maybe bitcoin will experience a quick correction, because TF 4h is already high.
Yes indeed the TF4h Bitcoin Chart is already high in terms of trends and rsi, there is also a point if if bitcoin gets corrected quickly, however

Bitcoin might be able to fight the current Tf 4h with the proposition of a 1h TF trend that is still pressing the Bullish area.

Of course I totally agree if the 1h bitcoin chart is against the 4h bitcoin chart, because from yesterday actually the bitcoin chart 4h requested correction,
But because the demands of smaller charts like 30m and 1h are demanding to go up, well inevitably have to go up.
The condition if we want our prediction 87% to be close to Real is to be able to be wise in comparing tifme bitcoin frame decisions,
Bitcoin Chart 1h
Above is a picture of the 1h Bitcoin chart which I have referred to earlier with urgent demands for a 4h bitcoin chart.

But do not rule out if tf 1h also suddenly corrected,
Because as I often say “crypto patterns will repeat with the word correction”.

and I’m also sure that bitcoin will be strong at the 1D level today in the area of ​​9522 USD – 9899 USD
CONCLUSION S&R
  • Prediction of 1H Bitcoin support area 9150 – 9200 usd and resistance 9522 – 9720 USD
  • Prediction of 4H Bitcoin support area 9150 – 9200 usd and resistance 9522 – 9860
  • Predictions of 1D Bitcoin support area 9000 – 9150 usd and resistance of 10,000 USD

Bitcoin Chart 4h

Jika kalian lihat di atas menyeramkan apa pendapat kalian ?
Maka dengan ini saya bisa pastikan jawabanya adalah mungkin saja bitcoin akan mengalami koreksi cepat , karena TF 4h sudah tinggi.
Iya memang Chart Bitcoin TF4h sudah tinggi dari segi trend juga rsi, ada benarnya juga jika jika bitcoin akan koreksi cepat , Namun
Bitcoin mungkin bisa melawan Tf 4h nya yang sekarang dengan dalil adanya trend TF 1h yang masih mendesak area Bullish.
Tentu saja saya sangat setuju jika chart bitcoin 1h melawan chart bitcoin 4h , karena sudah dari kemarin sebenarnya bitcoin chart 4h mintak koreksi,
Namun karena tuntutan dari chart yang lebih kecil seperti 30m dan 1h menuntut naik , yaa mau tidak mau harus naik.
Syarat jika ingin prediksi kita 87% mendekati Real yaitu harus bisa bijaksana dalam membandingkan keputusan tifme frame bitcoin,
Bitcoin Chart 1h

BITCOIN IRA PROCESSES $400M IN TRANSACTIONS SINCE LAUNCH

Bitcoin IRA, a US-based company that offers individual retirement accounts compatible with cryptocurrencies, announced on Tuesday that it had exceeded the $400 million mark in crypto transactions since its launch in 2016.

BITCOIN IRA LAUNCHED SELF-TRADING CRYPTO IRA PLATFORM IN LATE 2018

About one year ago, the company announced its 24/7 self-trading crypto IRA service. Clients can use the platform to open a new IRA account or convert an existing retirement account.
The product has been quite popular in the US. Users have moved hundreds of millions in crypto transactions in the last twelve months alone. Since its launch in 2016, the crypto IRA provider has processed more than $400 million in investments.

Bitcoin IRA COO Chris Kline commented

Reaching this new high is a testament to our top-notch security features, superior customer experience, competitive pricing, innovative product offering, seamless online IRA transfer process and proprietary real-time 24/7 self-trading platform. We are proud to be the market leader and by offering these one-of-a-kind features we continue to raise the bar in the industry.
The executive said that the company would launch several major products this year. They should help accelerate expansion and further improve the client’s capability to self-manage and grow their retirement portfolios.

2019 was a successful year for Bitcoin IRA, which achieved several accomplishments

Partnered with BitGo Trust to improve its custody solutions to offer $100 million insurance, cut custody fees by 30%, and ensure military-grade security with SOC 2 Type 2 certification and bank-grade Clas III vaults from BitGo.
Launched an interest-earning beta program that allows select customers to earn interest on their crypto and cash holdings.
Launched cryptocurrency Swaps.
Held a private round of investment capital.
Launched Digital Gold as an option to its self-trading retirement platform.
Integrated Advanced Biometric Security to improve BSA/AML compliance.

CONFLICT WITH KINGDOM TRUST CONTINUES

The fact that Bitcoin IRA chose to collaborate with BitGo Trust back in 2018 turned its former custodian Kingdom Trust against it. The battle continues to this day, with the latter asking a federal judge to call for sanctions against Bitcoin IRA. Kingdom Trust claims that Bitcoin IRA filed the same court action in different jurisdictions, which is not legal in the US.

How to adjust your leverage

Video tutorial available here
Binance Futures allows you to adjust the leverage manually. To do so, go to the top of the page, and click on the yellow box indicating your current leverage amount (20x by default). Specify the amount of leverage by adjusting the slider, or by typing it in, and click on Confirm.
How to adjust your leverage
It is worth noting that the larger the position size is, the smaller the amount of leverage is that you can use. Similarly, the smaller the position size, the larger the leverage you can use.
Please note that using higher leverage carries a higher risk of liquidation. Novice traders should carefully consider the amount of leverage that they use. 

What is the difference between mark price and last price?

To avoid spikes and unnecessary liquidations during periods of high volatility, Binance Futures uses last price and mark price.
Last price is easy to understand. It means the last price that the contract was traded at. In other words, the last trade in the trading history defines the last price. Last price is used for calculating your realized PnL (Profit and Loss).
Mark price is designed to prevent price manipulation. The mark price is calculated using a combination of funding data and a basket of price data from multiple spot exchanges. Mark price is used for liquidations and calculating your unrealized PnL.
What is the difference between mark price and last price
Please note that the mark price and the last price may differ. 
When you set an order type that uses a stop price as a trigger, you can select which price you would like to use as the trigger – the last price or the mark price. To do this, select the price you wish to use in the Trigger dropdown menu in the order entry field.
Binance Futures Banner

What order types are available and when to use them?

There are six order types that you can use on Binance Futures:
  • Limit: A limit order is an order that you place on the order book with a specific limit price that is determined by you. When you place a limit order, the trade will only be executed if the market price reaches your limit price (or better). Therefore, you may use limit orders to buy at a lower price, or to sell at a higher price than the current market price.
  • Market: A market order is an order to buy or sell at the best available current price. It is executed against the limit orders that were previously placed on the order book. When placing a market order, you will pay fees as a market taker.
  • Stop-Limit: The easiest way to understand a stop-limit order is to break it down into stop price, and limit price. The stop price is simply the price that triggers the limit order, and the limit price is the price of the limit order that is triggered. This means that once your stop price has been reached, your limit order will be immediately placed on the order book.
    Although the stop and limit prices can be the same, this is not a requirement. In fact, it would be safer for you to set the stop price (trigger price) a bit higher than the limit price for sell orders, or a bit lower than the limit price for buy orders. This increases the chances of your limit order getting filled after the stop price is reached.
  • Stop-Market: Similarly to a stop-limit order, a stop-market order uses a stop price as a trigger. However, when the stop price is reached, it triggers a market order instead.
  • Take-Profit-Limit: If you understand what a stop-limit order is, you will easily understand what a take-profit-limit order is. Similarly to a stop-limit order, it involves a trigger price, the price that triggers the order, and a limit price, the price of the limit order that is then added to the order book. The key difference between a stop-limit order and a take-profit-limit order is that a take-profit-limit order can only be used to reduce open positions.
    A take-profit-limit order can be a useful tool to manage risk and lock in profit at specified price levels. It can also be used in conjunction with other order types, such as stop-limit orders, allowing you to have more control over your positions.
    Please note that these are not OCO orders. For example, if your stop-limit order is hit while you also have an active take-profit-limit order, the take-profit-limit order remains active until you manually cancel it.
  • Take-Profit-Market: Similarly to a take-profit-limit order, a take-profit-market order uses a stop price as a trigger. However, when the stop price is reached, it triggers a market order instead.

What is Post-Only, Time in Force and Reduce-Only?

When you use limit orders, you can set additional instructions along with your orders. On Binance Futures, these can either be Post-Only or Time in Force (TIF) instructions, and they determine additional characteristics of your limit orders.
Post-Only means that your order will always be added to the order book first and will never execute against an existing order in the order book. This is useful if you would only like to pay maker fees. You can quickly check your current fee tier by hovering over the $ sign next to the Transfer button.
TIF instructions allow you to specify the amount of time that your orders will remain active before they are executed or expired. You can select one of these options for TIF instructions:
  • GTC (Good Till Cancel): The order will remain active until it is either filled or canceled.
  • IOC (Immediate Or Cancel): The order will execute immediately (either fully or partially). If it is only partially executed, the unfilled portion of the order will be canceled.
  • FOK (Fill Or Kill): The order must be fully filled immediately. If not, it won’t be executed at all.
Additionally, when you use either a limit or a market order, ticking the Reduce-Only checkbox will ensure that new orders you set will only decrease, and never increase your currently open positions.

When are your positions at risk of getting liquidated?

Liquidation happens when your Margin Balance falls below the required Maintenance Margin. The Margin Balance is the balance of your Binance Futures account, including your unrealized PnL (Profit and Loss). So, your profits and losses will cause the Margin Balance value to change.
The Maintenance Margin is the minimum value you need to keep your positions open. It varies according to the size of your positions. Larger positions require higher Maintenance Margin.
You can find a useful tool under the Positions tab at the bottom left corner of the page. It helps you quickly track the current risk of your open positions getting liquidated. If your Margin Ratio reaches 100%, your positions will be liquidated.
When are your positions at risk of getting liquidated
When liquidation happens, all of your open orders are canceled. Ideally, you should keep track of your positions to avoid auto-liquidation, which comes with an additional fee. If your position is close to being liquidated, it may be beneficial to consider manually closing the position instead of waiting for the auto-liquidation.

What is auto-deleveraging and how can it affect you?

When a trader’s account size goes below 0, the Insurance Fund is used to cover the losses. However, in some exceptionally volatile market environments, the Insurance Fund may be unable to handle the losses, and open positions have to be reduced to cover them. This means that in times like these, your open positions can also be at risk of being reduced.
The order of these position reductions is determined by a queue, where the most profitable and the highest leveraged traders are at the front of the queue. You can check your current position in the queue by hovering over the indicator at the top of the page.
