How to trade futures in Bybit? 

 

 

There are two types of cryptocurrency futures products to know!

 

1. Inverse Perpetual Contract.

 

-Inverse perpetual contract is a product that trades USD with coins as collateral. When the market grow up, you can get more profits instead of just holding coins.

 

-Conversely, if the market declines, you need to place a 1x short order to preserve the value of USD against coins.

 

2. USDT Perpetual Contract.

 

-USDT perpetual contract is a product that trades coins by USDT as collateral. Trading coins by stable coins. You have to buy a specific coin to get profit when it rises.

 

-Conversely, if the market falls, you can enjoy the effect of increasing the number of coins by holding a tether.

 

 

It may be similar, but these two are totally different.

 

Now, we will show you how to sell short in an USDT Perpetual contract.

 

 

 

1. Select the products and coins that you want to trade!

-Click "Trade" tab on the upper left and the menu will show up!

-Please choose an inverse contract or USDT contract!

-Then, you can choose the cryptocurrency you want to do margin trading. 

-Click the coin to enter transaction screen!

 

 

2. Adjust Margin Mode and leverage !

 

-There are two margin mode, one is largely crossover and the other is isolation margin !

 

-Cross (CROSS) can increase the gap between the liquidation price and the entry price by securing the balance other than the amount of investment. This lowers the chances of being liquidated, but if liquidated nonetheless, the entire amount will be evaporated.

-ISOLATED evaporates only the invested investment when forced liquidation occurs. And the remaining balance can be preserved. Although the probability of forced liquidation is relatively higher than that of cross-margin mode, it has the effect of managing risk so that only limited funds can lose money!

 

 

 

 

3. Choose the method your order!

 

- Choose an ordering method of limit / market / conditional!

How Luxembourg government manage cryptocurrency?

The introduction of Circular of 26 July 2018 states that a cryptocurrency is not a currency. A cryptocurrency is not legal tender and its value is not monitored by any central bank. It is therefore an intangible asset for direct tax purposes in Luxembourg.

Wealth Tax

For Luxembourg wealth tax purposes, which only applies to fully taxable Luxembourg resident companies and is levied at a rate of 0.5% per annum, cryptocurrencies must be valued in accordance with the provisions of the Valuation Law, i.e. at market value.

Business & Income Tax

The gain realized on the disposal of cryptocurrencies by Luxembourg individual taxpayers carrying on a commercial activity will constitute commercial income. Such income will be taxable at the progressive tax rates applicable for personal income tax, varying from 0% to 42% (progressive rates up to 42% apply, excluding employment fund surcharges and municipal business tax – levied at a rate of 6.75% in Luxembourg City). 

Other Income Tax

In case an individual taxpayer is not engaged in a business enterprise, then the income should be considered “other income”, which includes capital gains. Accordingly, the gain derived from the disposal (exchange, transfer or sale) of a cryptocurrency is not taxable when the latter has been held for more than six months. If the holding period of the cryptocurrency does not exceed six months, any profit or loss resulting from cryptocurrency trading is considered a speculative profit or loss, the gain is taxable at progressive income tax rates (up to 45.78%, plus 1.4% dependency contribution) for the gain exceeding EUR 500. This means that the cryptocurrency has been disposed of within six months following its acquisition. In case of disposal after a longer period, or when the yearly total speculation gain does not exceed EUR 500, it should not be subject to tax. 

In the case of the conversion of a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin into another cryptocurrency or a legal tender currency such as Euro or USD, this transaction is deemed to be an exchange of assets. The taxpayer is then considered to have sold the virtual cryptocurrency for consideration, followed by an acquisition of a good or service received for consideration. In order to be able to demonstrate the length of the holding period during which the cryptocurrency was held, the taxpayer should have adequate supporting documentation to provide proof of the acquisition date and the related expenses incurred. For short-term taxable gains, since it may be difficult to determine the acquisition price of the asset in the event of multiple acquisitions, the weighted average cost method shall be used to determine the acquisition price (excluding the "first-in, first-out" or "last-in, first-out" methods).
