Trading Console
The Trade tab is a full manual trading terminal for perpetual futures: a live candlestick chart, a real-time order book, and an order ticket that supports everything from a simple market order to TWAP and scaled-ladder execution. Orders are placed through your own saved exchange API keys. Guests can explore the whole view — the chart and order book are live. Placing orders requires a connected wallet and saved exchange credentials.
Layout
Top Ribbon
- Symbol selector — search any market, with a Favorites section for quick access to the pairs you trade most.
- Exchange selector — switch between your connected exchanges; each shows its own equity.
- Logged-out users see a prompt to connect an exchange instead of balance figures.
Chart
A native candlestick chart with selectable timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, and more). It refreshes live without yanking your pan/zoom position back to default.Order Book Panel
- Order Book / Trades tabs — switch between book depth and the live trade tape.
- My Orders toggle — highlight your own resting orders inside the book.
- Price aggregation control — group price levels into wider buckets to read depth at a glance.
- Depth toggle — adjust how much of the book is shown.
Order Ticket
The right-hand panel where orders are built. Core order types are inline tabs, with advanced execution methods under More:
Ticket controls:
- Buy / Sell side selection
- Leverage slider with quick-set buttons; cost and margin impact are estimated live, along with an approximate liquidation price
- Time in force — GTC, IOC, or FOK
- Post Only — ensures your limit order only adds liquidity (maker)
- Reduce Only — order can only shrink an existing position, never open or grow one
- TP / SL — attach take-profit and stop-loss brackets to the order
- Hedge / Cross badges — the account runs in hedge mode (long and short can coexist on a symbol; required by the bot strategies) and cross margin. Switch to isolated margin from your exchange’s own web UI if you need per-position risk caps.
Bottom Drawer
A tabbed drawer along the bottom keeps your account state next to the chart:How to Place an Order
1
Pick the market
Use the symbol selector (star your regulars as Favorites) and choose the exchange you want to trade on.
2
Build the ticket
Choose an order method, side, price, and size. Use the percentage shortcuts to size relative to your available balance at the current leverage.
3
Set protections (optional)
Toggle Post Only / Reduce Only, set time in force, and attach TP/SL brackets.
4
Submit
Review the estimated cost, margin impact, and liquidation price, then submit. The order appears in the Orders tab; fills appear in Fills and Positions.
Tips
- Click into the book — use the order book to gauge where liquidity sits before placing limit orders; widen the aggregation to see the bigger structure.
- Markets tab first — the Markets scanner finds high-volume, high-volatility pairs; clicking a row lands here with the symbol preloaded.
- Watch bots from the drawer — the Bots tab in the bottom drawer lets you watch a bot’s orders hit the tape on the chart above it.
- Advanced methods need the engine running — TWAP, Scale, Iceberg, Chase, and Sniper are executed client-side over time; keep the terminal open while they work.
