Top up your Account

To begin Trading, you will need to top up your DeriW Account from Arbitrum to DeriW Chain. This can be done by clicking on the Deposit button in the Trading section. Please note that:

• You need to pay ETH Gas Fees when topping up your account.

• The minimum amount for a trade is $10.

Price Chart

Users have the option to observe the DeriW candlestick price chart, which allows them to track historical pricing within the day or adjust the time interval to view daily, weekly, or monthly data.

Trade Sidebar

Within the trade sidebar, you have the ability to select your position mode, margin mode, order type, and adjust leverage for your position.

Position Section

In the position section, users can monitor their current positions, open orders, order history, trade history, transaction history, and assets. Users can also review their trade size, estimated liquidation price, PnL, and other pertinent information related to their current positions. Additionally, users can close their position directly from this window using either a market or limit order.

Opening a Position

On the Trade page, click "Long" or "Short" based on your preference for opening a leverage position. Long positions profit from price increases and incur losses with price decreases, while short positions work oppositely. Specify the amount and leverage, confirming the transaction. It will immediately appear in the Position section.

Closing a Position

Partial or complete position closure is possible by clicking "Close" in the position row. Profits for long positions are paid in the token being longed, while short positions yield profits in the stablecoin used to open the position.

Stop-Loss / Take-Profit Orders

Create trigger orders for stop-loss and take-profit by selecting the "Close" tab. Trigger orders appear in your position's row and can be edited or canceled manually.

Market Order / Limit Order

Market order is executed at the best available price in the order book and prioritizes immediate execution over price, meaning the trade is filled as soon as there are matching orders in the order book. Limit orders allow users to set a specific price at which they are willing to buy or sell an asset. They are added to the order book and are only filled when the market reaches the specified price. Switch between Market/Limit orders easily on DeriW.

Leverage

On DeriW, you can leverage up to 100x on your trade both on limit and market orders.

Liquidations

Monitor your liquidation price, which changes over time. Deposit collateral to improve liquidation price and reduce the risk of liquidation. In case of liquidation, remaining collateral after losses and fees is returned.

Rebates

Based on the choice of fees on the platform chain, rebates will be returned in the corresponding currency, with the same rebate ratio and fee rules.

Stablecoin Pricing

During stablecoin depegging, short positions incur collateral costs based on a spread from 1 USD to the official price. Profits for short positions are paid out based on a price of 1 USD or the current official price, whichever is higher. Swaps using depegged stablecoins also have a spread.

Long positions remain unaffected, but a warning is displayed if a large spread exists when swapping from a depegged stablecoin to long collateral. Alternative swap platforms can be considered to execute the swap before opening a long position.
