Trading on gTrade

gTrade offers leveraged trading across crypto, forex, and commodities with leverage up to 1000 on certain forex pairs. The partial collateral model means you only post margin - a fraction of the position's notional value - rather than the full amount. Positions are priced from Chainlink oracles, executed at mid with a dynamic pair fee, and managed through keeper-monitored trigger orders. Overnight funding accrues on positions held past daily market close times.

Leverage vs Liquidation Distance

As leverage increases, the distance to liquidation narrows. This chart shows how much price must move against you before the keeper triggers liquidation at different leverage levels.

Trigger Orders - TP and SL Mechanics

Take-profit and stop-loss triggers fire when the oracle price crosses the target level. The keeper bot monitors continuously and executes at the oracle price at the moment of trigger.

? Overnight Funding Schedule

Funding rates vary by asset class and market. Forex markets have the clearest schedule - they close daily around 22:00 UTC and funding is charged once per day. Crypto markets are 24/7 but still charge overnight funding at a reduced rate.
