Using this functionality is really easy (the difficult thing is to trade well). We will only have to follow a series of steps so that our experience is complete
Go to Perpetual Trading page
You can enter from the site, in the Trade → Perpetual section, or through this link
Deposit funds
You need to deposit funds into the Futures account first, in the box on the bottom right of the screen
USDT, BUSD, APX or CAKE (with bonus!) can be used as collateral to pay for the trade.
As mentioned, using CAKE for fees gives you a 5% discount! So, why not?
Note: The trading fees are 0.02% of the notional value for makers and 0.07% for the taker. CAKE will be the default payment option for trading fees, followed by APX (ApolloX’s token) and USDT. Any users who are paying the trading fees in CAKE will enjoy a 5% discount on trading fees.
Choose the pair to trade
You can select a tradable pair by clicking on the arrow next to the pair, at the top of the page.
More tradable pairs will come soon!

Do you know how to do it or do you want to improve in your analysis?
Here is a guide to get started in the world of chart analysis:
Make your position
Then, in the upper right part you have the board to position your order.
Here you must set several parameters, like:

Note: You can use “Last” to fill in with the current last price.
5. Set the order’s size
You can also choose the reference currency to see your position
Note: there are a few more options to consider, but you can see that within the trading glossary
Send your order
When all the parameters have been set, you can send the order by clicking on long, if it is a long order, or short, if it is a short order.

Good luck with your trades!
