you can use0:10this it has exactly the same layout and0:12everything it’s just obviously a lot0:13smaller on your phone i’m going to show0:15you how to do it on the platform for now0:17show you how to get set up with futures0:18get some money into your account then0:21how to work out different rates for0:23funding risk mitigation how to go ahead0:25and trade and then a small tutorial at0:27the end for0:28a trading strategy as well just a very0:31simple one so first we have to get set0:33up on kucoin if you don’t have a kucoin0:36account yet i’ll leave that link in the0:37description you can sign up right now0:39and then follow along if you need a0:40step-by-step guide for beginners i’ll0:42leave that in the description as well0:44plus the time stamps so lots of0:45information down there if you need it0:47firstly we need to understand the0:48difference between margin trading and0:50future trading on kucoin because they’re0:52not the same0:53if you come up to trade and then click0:55on margin trading it will take you0:56through to basically a trading screen0:59which is the normal trading screen down1:01in the bottom you can actually see1:03uh there’s cross margin here and1:04isolated margin now1:07margin trading is not futures trading on1:09kukan it’s different and they’re1:10actually different accounts so futures1:12is a completely different product margin1:14trading is when essentially you put1:16let’s say a thousand bucks on account1:18and uh kucoin may give you two or three1:21thousand to actually trade with you can1:23open positions that are worth a little1:24bit more than the cash you actually have1:27that is margin you know trading on1:28margin it’s not futures right here1:30you’re basically just loaning money from1:32kucoin um with the ability to trade more1:36than you actually have in your account1:38futures are a completely different1:39product and i’ll explain why throughout1:41this video firstly though we need to get1:42some money into our futures trading1:44account because kucoin separates all of1:46the accounts um so once you have an1:49account set up you need to come over to1:51the overview right here i’ll just click1:53on this and you can see all the1:54different types of accounts that you can1:56actually load up so you have a main1:57account1:59you can see the margin account as well2:00if you want to put some money onto your2:02margin account or your futures account2:04right here so all you have to do2:06obviously is put some money on your2:07account there i go through that in the2:09beginner’s guide if you need to know how2:10to do that that video is linked in the2:12description i’ll come over to transfer2:14though and you can see you can just2:16transfer it from your main account into2:18your futures account us dollars i have2:20some on my main account so you can just2:22transfer in some press confirm that’s an2:24internal transfer so there’s no fees for2:26that and that’ll just go into your2:27future as a trading account the reason2:29they’re split up is for risk mitigation2:31basically kucoin have a light trading2:33platform for futures if you just want to2:35get something done quick and i’ll show2:37you how to use that now before i show2:38you the pro platform if you come to2:40derivatives you can see futures light2:42right here i’m just going to click on2:43this this trades futures but it’s not a2:46professional setup essentially you2:48basically can go long or short uh very2:50quickly if you need to get something2:52done and you just kind of want to kind2:54of place bets on where the next candle2:56will be or you want to kind of scalp you2:57can actually just get orders done very2:59quickly with this3:01so up on the top right hand corner you3:03have your assets i transferred 100 bucks3:05into this for the video and then down3:08here you just can very simply place an3:09order so let’s say i want to put 100 on3:12i can click 100. but then you can add3:14another 10 to this you can do that and3:16then obviously add 500 and i you know it3:18goes on forever um so what you can see3:20here is 5x leverage that i’ve got3:22obviously you can turn this up um you3:24know i wouldn’t recommend using too much3:26leverage if you’re a beginner definitely3:27don’t use too much leverage um you know3:29just maybe try on kind of one 1×3:32you know before you you get a bit more3:33comfortable with it but this ver this3:35very simply this light platform just3:37lets you bet long or short on the price3:40over the short term it’s not for3:42professionals really but if you just3:44want to take a quick bet so let’s say3:46you know i went with 40 right here and i3:49would go 5x leverage as you can see so3:51i’m going to do 5x click long and then3:54you just really quickly put an order in3:55here so you can see the leverage is 5×3:57the execution price basically just a3:59market order so you’re going to very4:01quickly go through and go long and the4:03principal is 40 right there so i’m just4:05going to click off but if you went4:07through with that essentially you’d go4:09down to my earnings right here4:11and then your profit and loss or your p4:12l would be in here for you so you can4:14see if you’re in profit and loss this is4:16really a kind of beginner’s platform4:18just to quickly go long or short if you4:20want to you know kind of trade short4:22term and scalp obviously if you’ve got a4:24wider portfolio and you’re looking to4:25hedge your portfolio or do some more4:27professional stuff then we need to get4:29into the professional platform coming to4:31the professional trading platform then4:33i’m gonna first go through some really4:35important things you need to know about4:36trading futures and that is how you fund4:38your positions so we’re gonna go over to4:40derivatives and then futures classic4:42that’s basically what they call the4:44professional4:45trading system right here so i’ll go4:47through all of this in a second i want4:49to come up to um some important things4:51though so we can look at the contract4:53specification so when you trade futures4:56you’re actually not buying and holding4:58any cryptocurrency really you’re just5:00kind of um you’re trading synthetic5:02contracts for the difference in price5:04between when you go long and then when5:06you close your position or when you go5:08short and close your position but you5:10can fund those contracts in different5:12ways there’s actually two ways you can5:14either fund them with usdtm which is us5:17dollar tether margin or coin margin5:21usd t margin does essentially you know5:23us dollar margin and then coin margin is5:25when you can use bitcoin ethereum i5:27think polka dot on xrp for right now so5:29if you click on assets here just look at5:31the assets you can fund um go over to5:34coin margin right here and you can see5:35bitcoin eth dot and xrp these are four5:38assets that are supported at the moment5:40anyway that you can use to fund your5:42positions um so you know the amount of5:44funding that you have an account5:46obviously lets you trade and leverage5:48off of that you know how much you have5:50on account is going to be how much you5:52can leverage so it’s really important to5:53understand most people will trade us5:55dollar margin because the us dollar5:57doesn’t fluctuate in price like a risk6:00asset does so you know if you if you’re6:02using bitcoin to margin you’re long um6:04and bitcoin is falling in price then6:06it’s like double trouble because you’ve6:07got bitcoin going down the price that6:10you’re long in and also your collateral6:12is going down in value as well so6:13potentially way more risky most people6:15use us dollar margin6:17but that’s the two ways you can6:18basically margin up your futures bets6:21now i need to go through what the6:22funding rate is if you’re trading6:24futures you have to either pay or get6:26paid a funding rate this is very6:28different to the spot market you don’t6:30have a funding rate in the spot market6:32so this is the futures trading screen6:33right here you can see on the left i’ve6:35got the bitcoin perpetual that means the6:37future has no expiry so you know it just6:40goes on forever um and you can see6:43either usd t margin or coin margin right6:45here6:46we’ll stick on the us dollar tether6:47margin futures and you can see all the6:49different type of coins that they uh6:52support so you can trade all of these6:53coins in the futures market so what we6:56really need to understand is the funding6:59rate and you can see that here so this7:01is the predicted funding rate which is7:03plus7:040.017:06so in the futures world um all of the7:09contracts that you trade are you know7:10done on margin with a borrowing and so7:14when you’re long7:15you usually have to pay to go long7:18against a short so for every long in the7:20futures market there is of course a7:22short right if you go along someone help7:24set someone else has to go short and if7:26they go short obviously someone’s7:29long to you know kind of mix up right so7:31the funding rate is something that gets7:34paid7:35usually every eight hours or so on7:36kucoin it’s every eight hours7:38what you have to know really is that if7:40the funding rate is positive as it is as7:43it is here you can see this plus this7:45means that long positions all long7:48positions pay short positions at the7:50next funding you can see the next7:52funding settlement on the right-hand7:53side is actually in about 30 minutes7:55time it happens every eight hours on7:57kucoin so there’s three funding7:59settlements per day it’s a plus 0.01 so8:03what that means is that8:04in 30 minutes longs so if you had a long8:07position in the futures market you would8:08be paying8:090.018:11as a funding rate to shorts now if this8:14funding rate is negative it means that8:16shorts short sellers will be paying8:19longs8:20at this funding at this funding8:22settlement8:23it’s usually positive longs usually pay8:26shorts but not all of the time it’s8:28something to consider because um you8:30know we’ll we’ll just do the calculation8:32right here8:34so obviously the funding rate is um8:38one 0.01 so that’s that’s it as a8:40decimal now this happens three times a8:42day so we um take this8:44three times and then we times that by8:46365 and that is an annual rate of8:50interest that you’ll be paying so around8:52about 118:53so8:54if you’re going long in the futures8:56market and the funding is always8:58positive so you’re paying you’re9:00basically paying 11 in interest to short9:03sellers um to you know to place these9:06bets so just take that into account when9:08you’re doing your profit and loss9:09especially if you have positions open9:11for a very long time or if you’re9:13borrowing a ton of money then fundings9:16you know the funding rate does eat into9:18your profits if you’re going wrong and9:19paying this funding all the time so just9:21um you know put that into your9:23calculations that you’re basically9:25paying 11 as an apy more or less if9:28you’re going long9:29and if you’re borrowing money that can9:30definitely eat into your your collateral9:32that you have on account the next thing9:34that’s very different in the futures9:35market is the uh different prices you9:38get you get a mark price and an index9:39price this doesn’t happen in the spot9:41market um so as you can see up on the9:43right hand side here you have the price9:46the actual price that people are trading9:47out on kucoin so this is bitcoin at9:49forty thousand three forty you have a9:51mark price and an index price the index9:54price as you can see here is a composite9:56index of the spot market9:58what um what every futures trading10:00exchange will do was will take10:02um the price of bitcoin on various10:05different exchanges like you know the10:06top exchanges like binance and ftx and10:08they will come up with an index price of10:10what the average price of bitcoin is10:12between exchanges10:14the mark price though10:15is the price that is very important for10:19the contracts on kucoin so when you’re10:22trading futures you’re not trading the10:23spot market you’re trading a contract on10:25kucoin and that is slightly different to10:28the index price you can see they10:29definitely are not the same right10:30they’re very very slightly different now10:33the mark price is what kucoin used10:35um to execute all of the contracts on10:37the system this only really matters if10:40you have a long position that’s going to10:42get liquidated or a short position if a10:44position is going to get liquidated then10:47kucoin will use the mark price as the10:50official settlement price for what’s10:52going on so if there’s a dump in the10:53market and you get liquidated they will10:56take this mark price as the official10:58price that all contracts are executed at11:00and so this is really important you can11:02see here that it’s very very similar but11:04it is different so just to know that the11:06mark price is something you need to look11:07at that’s where all of the liquidations11:09and all the important kind of contract11:11settlements will occur at this point i’m11:13going to take you through putting an11:14order in11:15on the future screen again this is11:17different to the spot market so at this11:19point if you definitely need some you11:22know some more help with the basics of11:24technical analysis11:26reading charts using charts as well in a11:28more professional way if you don’t know11:30what the order book is and everything11:31like that um then what i’m going to do11:33is link the kucoin beginner’s guide in11:35the description you can go and watch11:36that also i have a crypto investment11:38course with i think about 50 videos on11:40day trading technical analysis how to11:43trade how to think about trading um11:45definitely if you want to you know kind11:47of move up a level and get a little bit11:48more professional or at least kind of11:50know what you’re doing then the crypto11:51course goes through all of that and then11:53there are private discord groups that11:54i’m in you can ask me questions as well11:56so i’ll leave the trading course in the11:58description as well if you want to12:00go through that and you know learn a bit12:02more for now i’m just going to very12:03simply go through placing an order and12:06then a very simple trading strategy12:09that i think is you know very simple for12:10beginners to kind of uh get into that is12:13a support and resistance strategy now12:15you can see here i’ve actually drawn a12:17couple of yellow lines right here this12:18is support at the bottom and resistance12:20at the top just kind of two levels that12:22i’ve seen12:23based on what the chart is telling me on12:25the left hand side you can click this12:26button right here this is a trend line12:29and then just click to draw this on now12:31obviously i’ve got these lines on here12:32already where would i draw these well12:34you can definitely see12:36it kind of stands out right there’s an12:37area where the price kind of hits12:40support and bounces off a few times so12:42that’s a support level and right here i12:44can definitely see a like a resistance12:46level where the the price is kind of um12:48getting around and being a bit sticky at12:50so that’s why i put these two lines on12:52and then i’m going to use those as a12:53very simple strategy what i’m going to12:55get on to now though is putting an order12:57in and all the different ways you can do12:59that with futures trading so on the13:01right hand side um this is where we put13:04in our orders on kucoin so i’m just13:06going to zoom in here so you can see so13:08the first thing is we can just press13:09this button right here and that gives us13:11the last traded price and you can see13:13this is the bitcoin price right here 40313:16uh yeah 40 309 if you keep clicking last13:19um then obviously it’s gonna you know go13:21to go to that amount um and the amount13:24of uh you know bitcoin that you want to13:26trade obviously obviously if this is a13:28theorem or something it will be13:29different13:30but you can see i’ve got a hundred13:31dollars on account down here um just as13:34you know for the video then what i can13:35do is basically just say i want to you13:37know i want to press 25 percent of that13:39now what you can see i pressed 2513:41percent of a hundreds obviously 2513:43dollars but it’s come up here with 12013:45dollars why is that well i’m actually13:47using leverage so you can see i’ve got13:495x leverage on here if you’re a beginner13:51please don’t trade with leverage just go13:53down to 1x or something13:55just to try it out obviously the more13:57advanced you get you might want to use13:59leverage14:00you know leverage is very dangerous if14:02you use a lot of it so i wouldn’t14:03recommend using too much but you know14:05we’re all can do what we want but the14:07amount that you trade you can you can14:09put this in btc14:11or you can go to the trading unit right14:13here i’m just going to click this and14:15you can change it to lots so a lot as14:18you can see here is .001 btc so instead14:21of having to type in 0.001 you can just14:23type in 114:25and then it obviously gets rid of the14:26decimals so14:27whatever way you want to do it i’m just14:28going to keep it on btc right now14:31so we can either do 25 or 50 you know 7514:35of what you’ve got an account or you can14:36just go in here and manually set that in14:38in terms of leverage like i said14:41beginners please don’t use too much14:42leverage you know you can get wiped out14:44basically right so14:46um you know if you have a 10 or 20 you14:48know let’s say a 10 move in bitcoin but14:50your 10 10x leverage obviously that’s14:52you know pretty crazy in terms of how14:54much14:55um you know your initial capital can get14:58wiped out so i would not recommend15:00anything more than kind of five15:02six x leverage 10x leverage like at15:05absolute max um but everyone is15:07obviously you know um on their own15:09choices with that one15:11now what we need to do15:13is uh put in take profits and stop15:15losses15:16a tpsl as you can see right here now if15:18you can’t see this15:20on your trading screen15:22it doesn’t come up automatically so what15:24you have to do is come up to the top15:26left and click these settings right here15:28and then go to i think it’s features and15:30you can see some of these will be turned15:31off i have them all turned on um so you15:35should be able to see all of them are15:36kind of green so15:38some of the pro features you need to15:39turn on and i would recommend that so15:41that you can come down here and put a15:43take profit and stop loss in15:45what what are they15:46um well a take profit is obviously15:50a price where you want to sell and you15:53know get out at a profit now that’s15:54different if you’re going long or short15:56obviously going long it means you want15:57to buy at a price say forty thousand and16:01then sell above that so let’s say the16:03price is forty thousand three sixty i16:05wanna take profit at 42 000.16:08and you can see it works out my profit16:11rate at 2116:13so if i get in at 40 000 361 and get out16:16at 42 my profit rate’s 21 21 but you can16:19also you know click these buttons and it16:21will auto fill that take profit level16:23for you16:24um what you can also do is obviously16:27look and actually find a level i would16:29say if you went long here you’d kind of16:31take profits at16:33potentially 43 something like that so 4316:36000 right so that would be a 33 percent16:38now a stop loss is the complete opposite16:40if you’re going long16:42it’s a level underneath your trade16:45where you kind of sell out your position16:47and you take a loss16:49this is to stop any further losses so16:51when you’re trading on leverage as you16:53can see here16:55you know it it can very quickly kind of16:57wipe out your account right if you’re on16:595x leverage17:01and17:02you drop 20 basically you know17:05everything’s out right like you your17:07initial um17:09your initial balance is gone17:11so obviously people put in a stop loss17:13when they trade on leverage to try and17:14mitigate some of the downside risk and17:16kind of cut their losses very early17:17before it gets really out of hand you17:19don’t have to use a stop loss but a lot17:20of people do you can see you can just17:22put five percent in here 1517:24or find a level on the chart and then17:26put it in manually17:28also you can have this drop down box17:29right here17:31hidden means that when you put your17:33order in it won’t be shown on the screen17:35so other people can’t see it doesn’t17:37really matter17:38you know i wouldn’t recommend using it17:40that it really doesn’t matter unless17:41you’re trading very very large amounts17:43post only and ioc ioc is immediate or17:46cancel it means that when you put an17:48order in and you have your your limit17:50price right here17:52it either trades immediately or just17:54gets completely cancelled17:56post only17:57is something that you can use when you18:00want to get maker or tr or taker trading18:03fees18:04so on most trading platforms and kucoin18:06is the same if you are a maker of18:08liquidity you actually get charged a18:11little smaller amount for your trading18:13fees rather than if you’re a taker of18:14liquidity18:16so the way that you would be a maker of18:18liquidity is if you let’s say you’re a18:20buyer you actually put your order on the18:22book a little bit below so that it18:24doesn’t trade straight away and then you18:26hope that someone else comes and hits18:28your order a little bit after the fact18:30you are there for a maker and he is18:32therefore he takes your order and18:34therefore is a taker makers place18:36slightly lower trading fees post only18:38basically prevents you from paying those18:40taker fees where if the order can be18:43done straight away it will actually just18:45cancel the order so18:47it just makes sure that you never take18:48anyone else’s orders and you don’t18:50become a taker again not massively18:52important in my opinion so basically18:54that is it for putting in orders you18:56just get all of your levels set18:58um and if you want to put take profit19:00and stop losses in you can do that but19:02you don’t need to then you just go by19:04long um or sell short whatever you want19:07to do and your order will come down here19:09to the left-hand side and it will show19:11you your running p l it will show you19:14you know your your profit and loss or19:15anything like that um take profit and19:17stop loss levels and everything you can19:19see all of your trade details right here19:21and if you want to cancel it that will19:22just be on the right hand side you can19:24just cancel with the order and it will19:25basically trade out for you now there’s19:27a few different ways you can also trade19:28out of your order19:30so the first one is19:32um when you trade basically you’ve got19:34an open futures position and you don’t19:36actually you don’t actually own any you19:39know crypto so let’s say you go long and19:41you you buy to go long a thousand19:43dollars worth19:45um what you can do is actually reduce19:47your order a little bit and not sell out19:49the whole thing what you can do is19:50essentially sell short19:52um and reduce the amount that your order19:56is right so if you sell short 500 what19:58you do is basically just net off um part20:01of your your order right so you had a20:03thousand long now you go short 500 so20:06you’re a net long 500 but what you can20:09do is actually press this reduce only20:11you can see reduce only order will only20:12reduce your position does not require20:14margin to be frozen if the order would20:17increase your position it’s amended down20:19or cancelled right so what you can do is20:21when going long if you say i really20:23don’t want to20:24you know add to my risk position you can20:26just press this and then that order will20:28only be able to be reduced and not added20:30to20:31or you can just sell short and kind of20:33you know remove some of that order so20:35your net position is whatever you want20:36it to be um so that is putting an order20:39in on kucoin with all of the different20:41options now i’m going to quickly show20:42you a way to think about risk mitigation20:45when you’re putting orders in and trying20:46to get some levels just very simply with20:48this training strategy right here um20:50obviously there’s a lot i can’t go20:52through in this video so if you want to20:53know more about20:54thinking about how to read the market20:56and everything i would recommend the20:57course or at least join the public20:59discord groups21:00there’s a trading group in there i’ll21:02leave that as a pin comment21:04but what we want to do is find out how21:05much risk we are taking um and if that’s21:08okay for this trade so the first thing21:10we can do is come up to the top right21:12and basically put in some you know put21:14in some details and see how much21:16potential return we’ve got21:18so what you can see with this trading21:19strategy it’s just a really simple21:21support and resistance strategy so down21:23here i’ve drawn this line this line21:25because you can see the price actually21:27hits this line a few times as you can21:28see and bounces off this would be known21:30as support and then this resistance line21:32here i’ve drawn because21:34support previous support turns into21:36resistance you can see a couple of times21:38where the price kind of21:40trades around here for a little while21:42kind of met resistance here as well met21:44resistance here so we’re now up at the21:46resistance line um so we can actually21:48figure out kind of how much we would21:49make if we would go long here expecting21:52to break through this resistance and21:53possibly return up to this level at21:55let’s say 43. so you can use the21:57calculator21:59um so i’ve got the22:01you know the profits calculator here so22:02let’s say i’m buying long and i’m using22:03five times leverage my entry price let’s22:06call it 40 00022:08and the close price let’s say 42 00022:11and i want to trade point one bitcoin22:14start calculation you can see my cost is22:16eight hundred dollars my profits two22:18hundred dollars my return is 2522:20so that would be you know a decent ratio22:23for me i would say for 5x leverage now22:25if i turned it down to like 2x leverage22:27you can see22:28uh the profit you know goes goes to 1022:30roe essentially because you’re not22:33leveraging as much you’re not borrowing22:34as much your position is smaller and so22:36that percentage22:38as a percentage profit on your initial22:40obviously goes down a little bit but you22:42can see the closed price or the22:43liquidation price you can go through and22:46play with these22:47liquidation price for example if you go22:50with 5x leverage your entry price is 4022:53and then actually the trade moves22:54against you so it starts going down22:56let’s say you trade 0.1 btc your22:58liquidation price would be 32 200. at23:01that point if the price got down there23:03basically kucoin would liquidate your23:04position and you’d be out so good to23:07know this before you actually get into23:08some trades now i want to show you a23:10very quick calculation of how much to23:12risk per trade a lot of pro traders will23:14suggest not ever risking more than two23:16percent of your portfolio per trade and23:19you can use this as a position size23:22calculator to tell you how much to trade23:24so what i want to do here and let’s say23:26i have a long bias here so i’ve i’ve23:28traded my um support and resistance23:31strategy23:32and you can see that we’ve come off this23:34resistance you know but i’ve got a long23:36bias and i think we’re actually going to23:37break through this resistance level and23:38go up to these um these levels up here23:41so i’d be looking at entering a pr23:43entering along right here around 40 30023:47and my23:48my stop loss to to mitigate the downside23:51i would put it in around about this23:52level here the reason i say that is23:54because if you go back you can see this23:56price level has been a resistance level23:58for you know a good few weeks right down24:01here this level here as well as24:03resistance and then over here is24:04resistance as well and then over here is24:06resistance as well so i would um i would24:09suggest that if we are entering a new24:11bullish phase this would be the area24:13where it would bounce24:15and so i want to give my stop-loss a24:16little bit of room but if it goes down24:18through this stop loss then essentially24:20i’m wrong and it’s going to potentially24:22you know go down to this secondary24:24support line so i would put a stop loss24:27in around24:28call it 39 200 with an entry at 43.99 so24:32we’re going to put this in here you can24:34get this um calculator on you know just24:36google it crypto position size24:38calculator i’ll try and leave the link24:39in the description but let’s say the24:41open price to make things easy24:43let’s just say 40 000 and the stock24:45price24:47uh let’s say 39 and a half thousand24:52something like that and then the account24:53balance24:54you’ve got 10 000 on account and you24:56only want to risk 2 per position24:58so let me make this bigger for you uh so25:01open price 40 stock price 39 500 10 00025:04balance and you wonder is two percent of25:06that if you calculate this you can see25:08that you can go in uh a position size of25:120.4 bitcoin25:14so this tells you how big your position25:16can be while whilst only risking two25:19percent now if your stop-loss price was25:21lower let’s call it25:2338 000 calculate you can see the25:26position size goes down because the25:28potential loss is obviously a lot lower25:30right um so25:31to keep it at a two percent risk of the25:33portfolio at losing you obviously have25:35to uh make your position smaller so25:38hopefully that makes sense now i know25:40let’s say uh i want to do this at25:4239 000 calculate uh i know that i can go25:45ahead and trade right here trade at this25:47level and basically come and enter you25:50know25:500.2 or whatever it told me it was um and25:53then even if my trade goes in you know25:55against me and i get stopped out down25:57here um i will only lose two percent you25:59can you know potentially go again uh per26:01trade you know with that um strategy if26:04you need to know way more about26:05technical analysis how to read charts26:08and everything like that i’ve got some26:09other helpful videos for beginners i’ve26:10also got an entire crypto course trading26:13groups as well private groups you can26:14come and ask me questions as well so26:16check that out if you need more help if26:18you want to sign up for kucoin you don’t26:19have an account i’ll leave that link in26:20the description as well i’m james with26:22money’s eg cheers for watching and i’ll26:24see in the next oneEnglish (auto-generated)
