Trading Basics
Long Position
Open a long position when you think the price will go UP. You profit when BTC price increases and lose when it decreases.
Example:
You open a $100 long at 10x leverage when BTC is $95,000. If BTC rises 1% to $95,950, your profit is $100 × 10 × 1% = +$10
Short Position
Open a short position when you think the price will go DOWN. You profit when BTC price decreases and lose when it increases.
Example:
You open a $100 short at 10x leverage when BTC is $95,000. If BTC falls 1% to $94,050, your profit is $100 × 10 × 1% = +$10
Key Concepts
Margin
The amount of your virtual capital you put into a position. This is your maximum loss on that trade.
Leverage
Multiplies your exposure. 10x leverage means 1% price move = 10% profit/loss. Max leverage is 50x.
Liquidation
If your position loses more than 50% of its margin, it gets automatically closed to prevent further loss.
Duration
Each battle lasts exactly 10 minutes. All open positions are closed and settled at the end.
P&L (Profit & Loss)
Your total gains or losses from all trades. The player with higher P&L at the end wins.
Prize Pool
Winner receives 95% of total stakes (your stake + opponent's stake). 5% goes to platform fees.
