Price Dynamics
Execute substantial trades on Cadence at the mark price with minimal price impact. Nonetheless, in times of heightened volatility, a spread might emerge between the Redstone price and the median price of reference exchanges.
Mark prices for each market are provided next to their respective names. Long positions commence at the higher price and conclude at the lower price, whereas short positions initiate at the lower price and terminate at the higher price.
The chart on the trade page illustrates the average of the two mark prices.
Trading Fees
The fee for opening or closing a position stands at 0.1% of the position size.
For long positions, the collateral utilized is the token being held. For instance, when going long on ETH, the collateral would be in ETH. Conversely, for short positions, any of the supported stablecoins, like NOTE, serves as the collateral.
Should a swap be necessary during the opening or closing of a position, the standard swap fee applies. This fee, ranging from 0.2% to 0.8% of the collateral size, depends on whether the swap enhances or reduces the balance.
In addition to the swap fee, an execution fee is levied to cover the expenses associated with the blockchain network.
Initiating, closing, or modifying a position entails a two-step process:
Users initiate the first transaction to request the desired actionβwhether it's opening, closing, depositing collateral, or withdrawing collateral.
Keepers actively monitor the blockchain for these requests and execute them as necessary. The second transaction involves the "Execution Fee," presented in the confirmation box, covering the network cost paid to the blockchain network.
