Trading
Stocks
Companies trade here two ways: as a perp with leverage, around the clock, and for many of them as a tokenized share you hold in your wallet.
Two ways to trade a company
| Perp | Spot | |
|---|---|---|
| What you hold | A leveraged position on the price | A token that tracks the share, in your wallet |
| Hours | Around the clock, every day | Whenever its pools have liquidity |
| Short | Yes | No |
| Cost of holding | Funding, paid or received | None |
The Stocks block lists every company by sector with a button for each way that exists. Private companies have their own section; they trade as tokens, and a few as perps.
When the US market is closed
The block says whether the US session is open and when it next opens or closes. Outside it a stock perp still trades, usually with less depth and wider spreads: check the book before a large order.
Earnings soon lists who reports in the next two weeks. The Releases block has the macro calendar.
