Mode Type **Individual Mode:** Each position has its own independent countdown timer. You can hold multiple positions simultaneously with different expiration times. Use case: rapid scalping with staggered exits. **Unified Mode:** Set a specific future timestamp. All positions placed before that time settle at the same moment. Minimum: 2 minutes in the future. Use case: high-conviction setups targeting a specific event time. ### 2. Duration (Individual Mode Only) Sets the lifespan of your position. - Ultra-fast: 30s, 1min — catch instant pumps/dumps - Short-term: 2min, 3min, 5min — trend reversals - Extended: longer durations available ### 3. Amount (Position Size) Set your principal for the trade (e.g., $10, $20, $50). Quick-fill buttons available. ### 4. Payout Multiplier Three difficulty tiers: | Mode | Max Multiplier | Difficulty | |---|---|---| | Classic | 3x | Low | | Pro | 20x | Medium | | Manic | 100x | Extreme | Higher multiplier → target lines move further from current price → harder to win → higher payout. --- ## Trading Mechanics ### Opening a Position Choose your direction: - **HIGHER (Long):** Price will break above the Green Target Line by settlement - **LOWER (Short):** Price will break below the Red Target Line by settlement Click once. Execution is instant. ### Settlement At the settlement timestamp, the system compares price vs. your target line. - **Win:** Price breaks through the target line (HIGHER above green, LOWER below red) - **Loss:** Price fails to reach or only touches the target line **Critical:** Price must break through the line, not just touch it. ### Payout Calculation - Win: Principal × Multiplier (credited instantly) - Loss: Principal lost ### Early Exit You can close positions before settlement via the SELL button in the Open Position panel. Payout is calculated based on time remaining, current price position, and original multiplier. --- ## Supported Trading Assets **Cryptocurrencies:** BTC/USD, ETH/USD, SOL/USD, emerging altcoins (expanding regularly) **Commodities:** Gold, Silver, additional traditional assets **Data Source:** Real-time pricing via Pyth Network (decentralized oracle) --- ## Account Types **Demo Account:** Risk-free practice with virtual $50.00 balance.
