Your first trade​

A 10000x Futures position is a bet on the direction of a real coin's price: Long gains when the price goes up, Short when it goes down. You choose three things:

Crypto Futures market list: one card per coin with its price, 24h change, 24h volume and maximum leverage
  • Stake: the money you put in, at least $0.10. You can never lose more than the stake.
  • Leverage (mode): how much a move in your favour is multiplied, up to 10,000x. Each mode also sets a liquidation distance, a take-profit cap, fees and a max lifetime.
  • Coin: BTC, DOGE, ETH, HYPE, SOL, XRP.

The liquidation price is fixed when you open, a set distance from the entry price, and the app shows it before you open. A loss grows with the share of the way the price has moved toward it, so gains and losses are not symmetric: in the 1,000x mode a 0.01% move in your favour earns 10% of the stake left after the holding fee, while a 0.01% move against you loses 40% of it.

How it ends​

A position must stay open at least 1 s before you can close it by hand. It ends in one of five ways:

Open Trades card for one BTC long at 100x: entry price, amount, current price, liquidation price, fee, PnL, ROI and the Close Long button
  • You close it: it settles at the next index price, and the payout goes back to your balance at once.
  • It reaches its take-profit cap and closes with the maximum win for its mode.
  • The price reaches the liquidation price and you lose the stake.
  • It reaches its max lifetime and settles at the index price at that moment.
  • The holding fee, charged every minute, uses up the whole stake.
