Gemini Foundation Academy: Exploring the Basics of Trading Derivatives on ActiveTrader

Today, we’re thrilled to release two new Gemini Foundation Academy videos! These videos cover how to trade derivatives on our ActiveTrader platform.

If you don’t yet have a Gemini account, check out our article on setting up an account.

Account & Instrument Selection

This instructional video will take you through how to switch between accounts, such as from your primary to your derivatives account. Next, we will show you how to choose an instrument to trade, such as BTC-GUSD-PERP.

Price Metrics Panel

Curious what all of those additional metrics are when trading perps? In this video, we dive into the price metrics panel of ActiveTrader, and explain what each field means, and why it’s important.

This series is more than just a learning resource — it's an invitation to join Gemini’s thriving community of traders and crypto enthusiasts. We encourage active participation, open dialogue, and knowledge exchange to further enhance your learning experience.

We have plenty more resources planned just for you, so stay tuned to our blog.

And as always, we would love your feedback on additional topics you would like to see addressed.

Onward and Upward,
The Gemini Foundation Team

Disclaimer

Cryptocurrency derivatives are complex products that are not suitable for all investors. You should participate in trading crypto derivatives at your own risk and only after doing your own research and understanding the function, terms, and conditions of these products. With leveraged derivatives, you may lose part or all of your investment even if there is only a small fluctuation to the index price.
