How Turbo works

Turbo markets are built on perpetual futures — contracts that track the live price of an asset and never expire. These contracts don’t have to close like traditional markets, which means every asset on Turbo trades around the clock. Prices come from a live order book, so you can see the current bids and offers at any hour. You’re trading a contract that tracks an asset’s live price, not the underlying asset itself. You get the price exposure, long or short, without shareholder rights such as voting or dividends. Markets has the full picture.

Understand the mechanics

Leverage, margin, and liquidation decide how much you can gain or lose, so it’s worth ten minutes to understand them before you size up:

• Leverage — how it multiplies a position, in both directions.
• Margin: isolated and cross — the collateral behind each position, and the two margin modes that decide your worst case.
• Your balance — Cash, Margin used and Health explained.
• Liquidation — when it happens and how to stay clear of it.

​

Trade with control

Every position can carry a take profit and stop loss, and order types covers when to use market versus limit orders. Top traders explains how public track records work, and Security and custody explains who holds your money and how.

​

Turbo and your platform

Many traders keep a long-term portfolio where it is and use Turbo for the markets and the hours their existing platform doesn’t cover. The two work fine side by side.

A note on advice

Turbo gives you markets, data, and tools — the decisions and the risk are yours. Nothing on Turbo, or in these docs, is a recommendation to buy or sell.
