How Trading Works
C4T is a perpetual trading platform. Users open leveraged long or short positions using collateral.
Long positions
A long position gains value if the market price rises.
Short positions
A short position gains value if the market price falls.
Position size and collateral
Each position is based on:
- Collateral posted by the trader
- Selected leverage
- Effective notional size
PnL
PnL depends on:
- Entry price
- Current or close price
- Position direction
- Fees and rollover adjustments where applicable
Position lifecycle
A typical trade moves through these stages:
- Position opened
- Position remains active
- Position is closed manually, reaches another close condition, or is liquidated
Trading model
C4T is designed as a decentralized derivatives platform with production infrastructure supporting pricing, position tracking, and trading operations.
