Dumb Mode on PancakeSwap Perpetuals offers a simplified trading experience, ideal for traders who prefer to trade on the minute-by-minute fluctuations of an underlying asset’s value. Dumb Mode simplifies trading by reducing the noise, allowing users to enter and exit short-term positions easily.
Users are given a selection of 60-second, 5-minute or 10-minute expiration windows with different return-on-investment ratios. Users can choose to long or short an underlying asset.
At the end of the expiration period, if the underlying asset is in a winning position (price greater than open price for long, price lower than open price for short), users will stand to profit.
Each expiration period has a different return-on-investment (ROI). The longer the expiration period, the higher the ROI. Percentages and fees are as follows:
Expiration Period | Winning ROI (Net of fees)* | Losing ROI | Fees (on Winning) |
60 seconds | 75% | -100% | 6% on collateral |
5 minutes | 85% | -100% | 6% on collateral |
10 minutes | 88% | -100% | 6% on collateral |
*Winning ROI may be adjusted occasionally depending on market conditions. Please check this page for any updates
For example, in the following scenario:
Position Selected: Long
Collateral Placed: 100 USDT
Expiration Period: 60 seconds
BTCUSD price at open: $50,000
BTCUSD price after 60s: $50,001
User will profit 100USDT * 75%= 75USDT
