The market list with every asset class in one place

Open a position

  1. Set margin mode and leverage

    Choose Cross or isolated margin and set your leverage with the leverage button. You cannot go above the limit for that asset class.

  2. Choose the order type

    Fills immediately at the best available price. Use it when getting in or out matters more than the exact price.

  3. Pick Long or Short and enter a size

    Enter the size in USD or in the asset (toggle with the arrows), or use the slider to size by percentage of what is available.

    Order ticket: margin mode, leverage, side, size, Reduce Only and TP/SL
  4. Add protection and place the order

    Tick TP/SL to attach a take-profit and a stop-loss, or Reduce Only to make sure an order can only shrink a position. Check the order value, liquidation price, fees and cost, then click Long or Short.

Funding

Perpetuals have no expiry. Instead, longs and shorts pay each other a funding rate every hour, as on the source market. Funding is booked to your account and shown in the Funding tab. A positive rate means longs pay shorts.

Liquidation

If a position's losses use up its margin, it is liquidated at the liquidation price shown on the ticket. Long before that, your daily and max drawdown apply to your whole account. Watch Daily drawdown use on the dashboard.

Limits

  • Leverage and exposure depend on the asset class. See Leverage and limits.
  • Total perps exposure across all markets is capped at 20× balance (10× balance on Instant).
  • Forex, indices, commodities and stocks have extra rules for news and weekends. See Forex, indices and commodities.
