Ionex Trading Guide

Follow these steps to open and manage a position.

  1. Connect wallet & choose network

  • Connect any EVM wallet. Select Plasma.

  1. Deposit USDT

  • Fund your cross‑margin account. Deposits are immediate; withdrawals finalize after a 12‑hour fraud‑proof window.

  1. Select market & size

  • Choose a symbol (see in‑app list). Set direction (long/short), size, and desired leverage within limits.

  1. Request & accept a quote

  • Submit your trading intent. Orbs’ solver network returns competitive quotes. Review margin impact, fees, and accept to execute.

  1. Manage risk

  • Monitor PnL, maintenance margin, and account health. Add collateral or reduce exposure as conditions change.

  1. Close & withdraw

  • Close positions partially or fully. Withdraw USDT as needed (subject to the 12‑hour window).

Risk warning: Perpetuals are high risk and can lead to rapid losses. Use leverage responsibly and never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.

Typical pitfalls

  • Slippage around prints or during high volatility can widen fills.

  • Funding over long holds can erode returns even if direction is correct.

  • Leverage creep: adding size while equity falls increases liquidation risk.

Checklist before accepting a quote

  • Network selected correctly (Plasma) and wallet connected

  • Collateral sufficient; understand IM/MM impact

  • Leverage sanity: confirm liquidation distance

  • TP/SL configured (partial or full) as needed
