For leverage trading, refer to the sections below for more details.

# Open a Position

## Select a Market

Enter the [Perps](https://typus.finance/perps/) page, and choose a perpetual market you want to trade, such as **SUI/USD**, **BTC/USD**, or **SOL/USD**.

## Select a Position Side

Long Position:

- Earns profits if the token price goes up
- Makes losses if the token price goes down

Short Position:

- Earns profits if the token price goes down
- Makes losses if the token price goes up

## Select a Collateral Token

Various collateral tokens are available for your selected market, for example:

- Long SUI with SUI as collateral
- Long SUI with USDC as collateral
- Short SUI with SUI as collateral
- Short SUI with USDC as collateral

## Set Trade Parameters

Enter trade size and leverage (from 1x to 50x). Check order details and relevant [fees](https://docs.typus.finance/fees) before trading. While trades have no price impact, slippage may occur due to price changes between transaction submission and blockchain confirmation.

Order execution depends on available liquidity within the [Typus Liquidity Pool (TLP)](https://typus.finance/tlp).

# Manage Positions

You can monitor and adjust your open positions in the `POSITIONS` table. Click the “✏️" icon to deposit or withdraw collateral, allowing you to efficiently manage your leverage and liquidation price.

*Leverage = Position Size in USD / Collateral in USD*

Profit and loss are proportionate to your position size. For instance: a long SUI position of 1,000 USD with a 10% SUI price increase earns a profit of 100 USD, while a 10% decrease results in a 100 USD loss. Conversely, a short position with a 10% SUI price decrease garners a 100 USD profit, but a 10% increase makes a 100 USD loss.

# Close a Position

To partially or fully close a position, click the `CLOSE` button in the `POSITIONS` table. 

- Closing a position realizes pending profits or losses (PnL) based on the proportion of the position closed.
- Realized PnL and fees are settled in the collateral used for that position.

# Place Limit Orders

A limit order allows you to place an order at a specific price (limit price)

- A long (buy) limit order executes when the price matches or drops below your limit price.
- A short (sell) limit order executes when the price matches or rises above your limit price.

Tap the `LIMIT` tab on the trade ticket to place a limit order. Once placed, it will appear in the `ORDERS` table. You can cancel the order anytime before execution.

Price impact may still affect the execution, meaning the order might not fill at the exact limit price. Additionally, execution is not guaranteed due to factors such as:

- Insufficient liquidity in TLP to execute the order even if the price was reached.
- The price never reached the set acceptable level.
- Delisting or suspension of the perpetual market or collateral token.

# Add Take-Profit / Stop-Loss Orders

To add or manage Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) orders, click the `ADD` or `VIEW` button in the `POSITIONS` table.

- TP/SL orders execute market orders at preset trigger prices (exit points), helping secure profits or minimize losses in volatile markets.
- Once set, TP/SL orders appear in the `ORDERS` table as well.
- TP / SL orders are market orders and may not execute at the exact trigger price due to price impact.
- A maximum of 5 TP/SL orders can be placed per position.
- Orders can be canceled at any time.

TP/SL orders will be automatically canceled if:

- The parent position is liquidated, closed, or reduced below the TP/SL order size.

# Liquidations

## Understand Liquidation Price

When opening a long SUI position, if the position size exceeds the collateral value, there will be a price at which potential losses approach the collateral value.

This is known as the Liquidation Price, calculated as the point where:

*Collateral - Losses - Fees \< 1.5% of Position Size*

If the token price drops below this level, the position will be automatically liquidated.

## Manage Liquidation Risk

The estimated liquidation price changes over time due to unrealized fees and PnL, especially with leverage above 10x and long holding periods.

Upon liquidation, any remaining collateral after deducting losses and fees is distributed as follows:

- *Fee to [Insurance Fund](https://docs.typus.finance/risk-management#4FHHN) = 1% \* Position Size in USD*
- *Fee to TLP = Remaining Collateral - Fee to Insurance Fund*

To mitigate the risk of liquidation, click the “✏️" icon in the `POSITIONS` table to add collateral and improve the liquidation price.
