Perpetual trading doesn't have to mean wrestling with dense order forms. This guide shows how to open, set risk on, and close a perpetual position by acting directly on the K-line chart — the way Trending is built.
Open Trending →A perpetual contract (or "perp") is a derivative that lets you take a long or short position on an asset's price with leverage, without an expiry date. Perps are the most-traded product in DeFi. Trending focuses on making them simple to trade: instead of a complex order interface, you act directly on the chart.
Open Trending and connect your on-chain wallet. Funding is non-custodial — your funds stay in your wallet, and the platform cannot withdraw them.
Choose a crypto (BTC, ETH, …), gold, or stock perpetual to load its live K-line chart.
Set your entry directly on the K-line, choose long or short, and pick your size and leverage.
Place TP and SL levels right on the price axis so your target and risk are visible at a glance — no separate forms to fill.
Adjust or close your position with a single click. That's the whole loop.
Start small: use a modest position size and set a stop-loss before you enter. Because TP/SL are visual on Trending, you can see exactly where your position closes. Perpetual trading involves real market and leverage risk — never risk more than you can afford to lose.
