Master Perpetual Contract trading on OSL Global with this step-by-step guide covering positions, leverage settings, and risk management (TP/SL) on a fully compliant platform.

Welcome to the OSL Global compliant trading platform. This guide will help you quickly master the Perpetual Contract trading process, walking you through everything from opening a position to setting Take Profit and Stop Loss levels.

Step 1: Create an Account & Complete Onboarding

If you do not have an OSL Global account yet, you must register and complete the necessary identity verification. New users accessing the contract page for the first time will need to complete the contract risk tutorial to begin trading.

Step 2: Transfer/Deposit Funds

Ensure your contract account has sufficient funds to serve as margin.

Step 3: Access the Contract Trading Interface

Log in to the OSL App, find and tap the Contract icon in the top navigation bar. Here, you can view real-time market data and select the cryptocurrency pair you wish to trade (e.g., BTC-PERP).

Step 4: Open a Position

Based on your judgment of market trends, select your position direction:

  • Long: If you expect the price to rise, click the Green Buy button.

  • Short: If you expect the price to fall, click the Red Sell button.

Operation Details: Enter your target price and quantity in the order area, confirm your Leverage multiplier, and click the order button at the bottom to place your trade.

Step 5: Monitor Orders & Positions

After placing an order, keep a close watch on its status:

  • View Open Orders: Check unfilled orders under the "Open Orders" tab.

  • View Positions: Once an order is Filled, it will automatically move to the "Positions" tab.

  • Real-Time P&L: On the Positions page, you can monitor your position's Unrealized P&L (Profit and Loss) and ROE (Return on Equity) in real-time.

Step 6: Set Take Profit / Stop Loss (TP/SL)

To effectively manage risk or lock in profits, it is recommended to set Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) for your positions:

  • Click the "TP/SL" button under your position.

  • Enter the Trigger Price

  • Select the execution method:

  1. Market: Executes immediately at the best available market price upon triggering (Speed priority).

  2. Limit: Executes only at your specified price upon triggering (Price priority).

  • Click Confirm once verified.

Step 7: Close Position

  • When you decide to end a trade:

  • Click the "Close" button on the position page.

  • Select the order type

  1. Limit Order: Executes only at your specified price (Best for users seeking a precise exit price).

  2. Market Order: Executes immediately at the best available market price (Best for users seeking a quick exit).

  • The system will automatically settle your final profit or loss based on the execution price.

Appendix: What is a Perpetual Contract?

A Perpetual Contract is a type of derivative contract with no expiration date. This makes it a preferred tool for traders wishing to take long or short positions without worrying about contract expiration or rollover dates.

Perpetual contracts allow traders to speculate on the price movements of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other major digital assets with the advantage of continuous exposure.

Key Features:

  • No Expiration Date: Unlike traditional futures, perpetual contracts do not have a settlement date. You can hold a position indefinitely as long as you maintain the margin requirements.

  • Leveraged Trading: OSL Global allows users to trade perpetual contracts with leverage (currently up to 0 - 10x). This means you can control a larger position value with a smaller initial capital.

  • Risk Warning: Leverage can amplify both gains and losses. Please trade cautiously.

  • Funding Rate: This is a mechanism unique to perpetual contracts used to tether the contract price to the spot price. Through the exchange of payments between long and short parties, it ensures the contract price closely tracks the underlying asset's spot price.
