With your account funded, you're all set to trade on Helix—delivering a decentralized exchange experience that rivals the speed and cost efficiency of leading centralized exchanges.

Example: Your First Trade

Let's follow an example whereby you might want to open a $100 BTC PERP long position, and close an existing INJ PERP long position.

First, navigate to the correct trading pair by selecting "Trade" in the top navigation bar and using the markets dropdown visible by clicking the current trading pair.

Now that we are on BTC PERP, we can set order parameters for a limit order, which is highly suggested over a market order.

You can either type a limit price in the box, or click a price on the orderbook, and let Helix automatically populate the price box for you. You can also click "mid" in the limit price box, and Helix will automatically calculate and populate the mid-price in the limit price box.

Then, choose an amount (in either USDT or the selected asset, using the dropdown to the right of the asset) and leverage by sliding the blue diamond or typing the desired leverage in the input box to the right of the slider.

Click "Buy / Long" to open the position. If Auto-Sign is not enabled, sign the transaction when prompted by your connected wallet.

The position will now appear in your open positions section right below the price chart. Let's say you wish to close a position, in this case let's close an INJ PERP long position.

To close the position, click the red trash bin logo next to the market ticker and confirm the transaction pop up.
