Long and Short positions on crypto and US stocks

How a position works

You choose the market, the side, the leverage and the margin in USDT. The position size is the margin times the leverage. If the price moves your way, you gain the price change on the whole position; if it moves against you, the loss comes out of the margin.

There is no trading commission and no funding. Qardex is the other side of every position: profits are paid by Qardex and losses stay with Qardex, at prices from live market feeds.

When its loss equals the margin — a price move of one divided by the leverage against you. The margin is lost; nothing more is taken from your balance.

No. Qardex charges no trading commission and no funding on positions.

Between sessions a stock price can jump on news, and a leveraged position could lose more than its margin before anyone could close it. Closing at the session end keeps the loss within the margin.
