How to Trade Perp on Trado?

When engaging in perpetual contract trading, you will use USDX (Trado Exchange USD) as margin instead of directly purchasing the digital tokens involved.

Deposit

Before starting trading, ensure you have sufficient balance in your Exchange Wallet. Therefore, you need to deposit stablecoins $USDT or $USDC from Your Wallet to Exchange Wallet.

Enter the amount, click "Confirm" button.

Once the deposit is completed, your funds are now deposited in the Exchange Wallet.

Note: The $USDT or $USDC deposited to the Exchange Wallet will automatically convert to USDX (Trado Exchange USD). You can use the funds in the Exchange Wallet for contract trading and staking. Additionally, your funds are securely held in Trado's smart contracts, and you can withdraw them to your personal wallet at any time.

Opening a Position

Trado Perp module supports two versions: Pro Mode, which operates on an order book system, and Simple Mode, which uses an AMM model. Users can switch modes in the top right corner of the Perp page.

This tutorial will take Simple Mode as an example.

1. Select Market

Click on the drop-down menu "Perp" in the top left corner to select the token you want to open a position for.

Decide whether to open or close a position.

2. Choose Trading Leverage

Click the multiplier number at the top right corner of the contract interface to select the leverage level. You can choose the leverage by moving the slider, or you can enter the desired leverage value directly.

Then click the "Confirm" button.

Note: Higher leverage increases potential profits but also increases the risk of liquidation.

3. Choose Order Type: Market or Limit

Traders need to choose between limit or market orders:

• Limit orders allow you to set price limits for buying or selling assets, while market orders execute immediately at the best price available in the AMM pool.

• When selecting a market order, you can adjust slippage, which is the maximum deviation of the order execution price. The default slippage setting is 0.5%. If users need to adjust the slippage, click on the input box of Slippage Limit and enter the desired slippage.

4. Choose Trading Volume

Use the slider or enter your position size (Position size = Your USDX margin x Your leverage).

5. Place Order

Decide whether to go long or short (If you expect the token price to rise, you can choose to go long. If you anticipate the token price to fall, you can choose to go short.)

Click "Confirm" in the pop-up modal, then confirm the transaction in your wallet.

Closing a Position

View your unclosed contract orders in "Current Positions", click "Close" button. Click "Confirm" in the pop-up modal, then confirm the transaction in your wallet to close the current order. Close All" means to close all unclosed orders.

You can also close your position on the "CLOSE" page
