Manual Trading vs. Automated Trading

Manual trading: This guide focuses on manual trading. Manual trading allows for intuitive decision-making, flexible strategy adjustments, a comprehensive understanding of market context, and personal engagement in the trading process. It's advisable to start trading manually to understand the trading process fully.

Automated trading: For those who are technically savvy, there is a guide on using signal bots for automated trading on Orderly: VOOI:signalBotGuide.

Step 4: Start Trading (Open Position)

Before you start trading, consider activating a referral program. For more information, read VOOI:referralProgram

To place an order to open a position:

1. Select the underlying token (the asset for your trading position):

   You can create a list of your favorite underlying tokens by clicking the star sign next to the token. These tokens will be available in the Favorites section.

2. Specify the leverage you want to use for your trade. Leverage allows you to control a position larger than the amount of collateral you have deposited: Important: Trading with high leverage can significantly amplify both gains and losses. Even small adverse price movements can result in substantial losses, potentially leading to the liquidation of your entire position. High leverage also increases the risk of margin calls, requiring additional funds to maintain your position. The number next to the underlying token indicates the maximum leverage available for that token. For example, if you specify 50x leverage for your trade but the underlying token has a maximum leverage of 10x, you will be trading with a leverage of 10x:
3. Specify the size of your position:
4. Decide which position to open: long or short. For more information on Long / Short positions, refer to VOOI:positionTypes

You can open as many positions as you want while trading within the deposited collateral limit:

• TP / SL: Displays take profit and stop loss orders. You can modify or cancel these orders before execution.

• Liquidations: Lists positions that were closed due to reaching their liquidation price.

Settling PnL

PnL (Profit and Loss) measures the financial performance of a trading position or portfolio over a specific period.

Settle PnL without closing a position means you can finalize and realize the profits or losses from the open position up to the current point, without closing it. This updates your account balance with the realized PnL, reflecting the current performance of your trade while keeping the position open for future gains or losses:
