  3. Advanced Risk Management Tools

Key Benefits

  1. Amplified Profit Potential

    • Leverage allows traders to achieve greater market exposure, maximizing potential returns with minimal upfront capital.

  3. Capital Efficiency

  4. Preservation of User Control

    • All transactions are non-custodial, ensuring users maintain ownership of their funds and positions.


How It Works

  1. Opening a Position:

    • Users select their preferred leverage level (e.g., 2x, 5x, 10x) and input the amount of collateral they wish to deposit.

  2. Borrowing Funds:

    • The platform automatically borrows the required funds based on the selected leverage level, enabling the trader to enter a larger position.

  3. Risk Management:

    • Positions are monitored in real-time, and users can set stop-loss or take-profit orders to manage risk.

  4. Liquidation:

    • If the market moves against the trader and the position’s value falls below the maintenance margin level, the position is liquidated to protect both the platform and the user.


Use Cases

  1. Short Selling:

    • Margin trading allows users to profit from declining asset prices by borrowing and selling an asset, then repurchasing it at a lower price.

  2. Hedging:

    • Traders can use margin trading to hedge their portfolios against adverse market movements, reducing overall risk.

  3. Speculation:

    • Leverage magnifies gains for speculative traders who anticipate significant price movements.

  4. Diversified Strategies:

    • Combine margin trading with Perpetual Futures or spot trading to create diversified trading strategies tailored to market conditions.
