1. Choose a market
Start from the perpetuals list and pick the asset you want to trade. BTC, ETH, SOL and the others each have their own market with its own price and leverage limit.
2. Pick a direction
Decide whether you expect the price to rise or fall, then open an Up (long) position or a Down (short) position. Because you never take delivery of the asset, both directions are equally simple.
3. Set your leverage
Leverage decides how much exposure each dollar of collateral controls. Higher leverage magnifies the swing in both directions, so it pays to start conservative while you learn how a market moves.
4. Manage the exit
Set a take-profit to lock in gains and a stop-loss to cap losses. Since a perpetual never expires, you can also close manually at any time โ the position only ends when you end it or run out of margin.
