Turbo is a mobile trading app for global markets, open 24/7/365. Trade 260+ markets across stocks, commodities like gold and oil, indices, currencies, crypto and Pre-IPO names, from one app, at any hour. Turbo is in private beta, and availability varies by region. Join the waitlist at [turbo.co](https://turbo.co) and you'll be first in line as we open up where you are. ## How Turbo works Turbo markets are built on perpetual futures — contracts that track the live price of an asset and never expire. Because a contract has no closing bell, markets don't have to close: everything 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 shares themselves. You get the price exposure, long or short, without shareholder rights such as voting or dividends. [Markets](/markets) has the full picture. ## Start here Create your account, verify your identity, and place your first trade. How to add funds, how your USD balance works, and how to withdraw. What you can trade, and how markets stay open 24/7. What each trade costs, with a worked example. ## 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](/leverage) — how it multiplies a position, in both directions. * [Margin: isolated and cross](/margin) — the collateral behind each position, and the two margin modes that decide your worst case. * [Your balance](/balance) — cash, used margin, and margin health explained. * [Liquidation](/liquidation) — when it happens and how to stay clear of it. ## Trade with control Every position can carry a [take profit and stop loss](/take-profit-stop-loss), and [order types](/order-types) covers when to use market versus limit orders. [Top traders](/top-traders) explains how public track records work, and [Security and custody](/security) explains who holds your money and how. ## Turbo and your broker Many traders keep a long-term portfolio where it is and use Turbo for the markets and the hours their broker 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.
