Long or short. You never own the asset

Long or short. No ownership.



Perps track the price, and you close when you're ready.

In spot trading, you buy and hold the asset. With perps, you take a position on where the price is heading, without ever owning it.



Think BTC is about to move up, Go long. Think it's rolling over? Go short. There's no expiry on your position, so you close it whenever you want.



240+ markets are available with up to 50x leverage.



Isolated margin keeps each position separate. Stop loss and take profit are set in the same screen when you open a position.

Coming from a real estate background, asset ownership is usually key for me, but perps definitely have their place for hedging. The main danger for beginners is over-leveraging—50x can wipe you out fast. Risk management and tight stops are non-negotiable here.
