Trading Guide
Trading Mechanics
PlasmaPerps offers a user-friendly process for leveraged trading:
Market Selection: Browse the Multi Asset Universe and choose your desired market (e.g., Tesla Stock, Bitcoin, Crude Oil).
Position Parameters:
Direction: Select Long (speculate on a price increase) or Short (speculate on a price decrease).
Leverage: Set your desired leverage, up to 100x.
Collateral: Specify the amount of USDT you wish to commit as collateral.
Execute & Manage: Execute the trade instantly. Monitor your position via the dashboard, where you can adjust leverage, add/remove collateral, or close the position to take profits or cut losses.
Maximum Capital Efficiency
The platform is engineered to offer maximum efficiency for traders:
Isolated Margin: Each position is secured only by the collateral allocated to it. This prevents losses from one position from draining the collateral of other, healthy positions.
Liquidation Protection: We employ advanced mechanisms to ensure fair and timely liquidations, protecting both the protocol and the traders.
Hybrid Orderbook + AMM Engine
To ensure Always Liquid markets, PlasmaPerps uses a pioneering liquidity engine:
Parallelized System: We run a traditional orderbook in parallel with an Automated Market Maker (AMM).
Benefit: This combination ensures deep, aggregated liquidity for all asset classes. Large orders do not significantly impact the price ("your size doesn't move markets"), and the orderbook provides precise pricing while the AMM guarantees fill availability.
Trading Fees and Funding Rates
Trading Fees: We charge competitive maker/taker fees for executing trades. All fees are transparent and displayed before you commit to a trade.
Funding Rates: These rates are paid or received by traders holding open positions. They ensure the perp price closely tracks the spot market price. If the perp price is higher than the spot price, longs typically pay shorts, and vice-versa.
