A friend once told me: “Trading perps is simple – until it isn’t.”
💁 Here’s what they meant – a breakdown of 4 common perp strategies with examples, so you know what each one is, how it’s used, and where it fits.
Dive deeper into our article or this post ⬇️
⚠️ Disclaimer:
Trading cryptocurrency futures carries significant risk. This thread is for educational purposes only – not financial advice. Always do your own research, test your plan, and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
📈 Trend Trading
In an uptrend: buy pullbacks to support.
In a downtrend: sell rallies to resistance.
Example:
$BTC at $121.8K pulls back to $119.2K. A trend trader might plan entries near support, with stops and targets set, then trail stops if price breaks highs.
⚡ Day Trading / Scalping
Quick trades on small timeframes using patterns like breakouts, reversals, or “head & shoulders.”
Avg hold: 30–60 min.
Example:
$BTC hits resistance at $120.2K, rejects on lower timeframes, and forms a short setup with a tight stop and modest target.
🕰️ Hold Trading
Holding a position for days or weeks to catch bigger moves.
Example:
$ETH trades at $4,500 amid rumors of a big partnership. A trader holds through the wait, and two weeks later, news breaks – ETH rallies. Patience and funding cost awareness are crucial here.
📝 Practice First
Paper trading = testing strategies without risking capital.
Log your hypothetical trades – entry, stop, target – and check later how they played out. After dozens of tracked setups, you’ll see patterns in what works before going live.
📣 Soon you’ll be able to trade Perps directly in Blum – go long or short, set leverage, place stops and targets, and track funding. All of this will be available in your favorite Telegram mini app.
There’s less and less time left to wait ⌛️

Perps can make you rich – or wipe your balance in minutes.
Leverage, liquidation, emotional swings – they’re not for unprepared traders.
As we get ready to launch Perps in Blum, let’s break down the real risks and rewards most traders won’t tell you 👇
💚 Let’s start with why traders love Perps:
✲ You can profit when prices go up or down
✲ You can use leverage to increase position size
✲ You don’t need to own the asset
✲ No expiry = hold as long as you want
✲ Deep liquidity on big trading pairs
Sounds great, right?
💔 But here’s the other side:
✲ Leverage amplifies losses just as fast as profits
✲ One bad move can trigger liquidation and wipe your position
✲ Funding fees can slowly eat into your PnL
✲ Volatility works against you if you're not ready
One wrong move can cost everything.
😱 What most traders don’t tell you: Perps mess with your emotions.
Perps trading often leads to emotional traps:
✲ FOMO
✲ Revenge trades
✲ Overconfidence
✲ Chasing losses after liquidation
This is where most beginners lose – not on charts, but in their heads.
🤔 So should you trade Perps? Maybe – but only if you’ve mastered the basics:
✲ Use low leverage
✲ Set stop-losses
✲ Risk small amounts
✲ Never trade emotionally
Without discipline, even the best setups fall apart.
👨🏫 There’s a reason Perps are both loved and feared.
Used right, they give traders an edge.
Used wrong, they lead to fast losses.
Soon, Perps will be easier to access than ever – coming to Blum, directly inside Telegram.
That’s why understanding the risks matters more than ever.

What are Perpetual Futures (Perps)?
If you only traded spot, Perps might sound confusing. They're not.
You can use Perps to go long, short, or trade with leverage – all without owning the actual token.
Let's break it down 👇
www.blum.io/post/what-are-perps
⚖️ Spot vs Futures vs Perps
・ Spot: you buy the coin and hold it
・ Futures: you bet on price going up or down, but the contract has an expiry
・ Perps: same as futures, but no expiry
You can hold a Perp position as long as you want.
ℹ️ So how do Perps work?
You open a position:
📈 Long if you expect the price to rise
📉 Short if you expect it to fall
No need to own the token.
You can also use leverage (borrow from the exchange) – e.g. $100 → $1,000 with 10x. But remember: you can lose more than you invested.
🧠 What's the funding rate? It's a fee paid between traders.
・ If more people are long → longs pay shorts
・ If more people are short → shorts pay longs
This helps keep the Perp price close to the real market price.
🙇♂️ Why do people use Perps?
・ To protect their holdings from drops (hedging)
・ To bet on price going down (shorting)
・ To trade bigger with small balance (leverage)
・ To catch small moves in the market (scalping)
It gives more control than just holding tokens.
And the juiciest part: Blum is bringing Perps straight to Telegram ✈️
✳️ Long and short trades
✳️ Leverage included
✳️ All inside the Telegram mini app
✳️ Smooth, fast, simple

Liquidation? Margin? Funding rate? 😕
Perps trading might sound complex – but it doesn’t have to be.
We’ve prepared a simple, beginner-friendly glossary with the only Perps terms you actually need to know – making it easy for you to navigate.
📖 Dive in 📖
In Perps, you’re trading on price direction – not owning the asset.
📈 Going LONG means you expect the price to rise.
📉Going SHORT means you expect it to fall.
Example:
$BTC at $110K → long if you think it’ll hit $115K
$ETH at $3.5K → short if you think it’ll drop to $3.3K
⚙️ LEVERAGE lets you open a bigger trade than your balance allows by borrowing from the exchange.
Example:
$200 with 10x = $2,000 position
☝️ Your potential profits and losses both scale.
But risk isn’t just about leverage – it also depends on how much of your balance is in the trade.
💰 MARGIN is the money you put up to open a leveraged trade.
There are two types:
– Cross (used in Blum): your available Perp wallet balance supports the position
– Isolated: only the margin you set is used
More balance = more room for the trade to stay open, but more at stake.
💀 LIQUIDATION happens when your margin can’t cover your losses – the exchange closes your position automatically.
Example:
Long $ETH at $3,500 with 10x
Price drops to ~$3,150 → you’re liquidated. You lose your margin.
💡 Use stop-losses. Manage risk.
🔄 FUNDING RATE is a periodic fee traders pay each other to keep Perps aligned with the spot market price.
If more traders are long → longs pay shorts
If more are short → shorts pay longs
Small fee every 8 hours – but it adds up fast.
💡 Always check it before holding positions.
📊 PNL (PROFIT & LOSS) shows how much you’ve gained or lost on your current trade.
Example:
You long $BTC at $110K
→ Price hits $112K = profit
→ Price drops to $108K = loss
💡 It updates in real time – keep your eyes on it.
📌 Your POSITION is your open trade.
Long $ETH = you’re holding a long position
Short $BTC = you’re holding a short
💡 Know what’s active. Review it often. Don’t forget to close when it’s time to take profits or cut losses.
🧠 You can’t trade Perps safely if you don’t understand the terms. Know what you’re doing – before you get liquidated.
📣 Perps trading is coming soon to Blum, right inside the Telegram mini-app. Stay tuned – you won’t want to miss it.
