Market Structure

Effortless, transparent handling of your open positions.

Universal Market Access

HertzFlow provides access to perpetual markets across multiple asset classes including cryptocurrencies, forex pairs, commodities, equities, and indices. Markets are permissionlessly created for any oracle-supported asset, enabling traders to bootstrap liquidity and access 24/7 continuous pricing secured by multi-oracle validation. Each market displays real-time data including mark price, 24-hour price change, trading volume, open interest separated by direction, and available liquidity for both long and short positions.

Leverage Limits

Maximum leverage varies by asset class to balance capital efficiency with risk management. Forex markets support up to 1000x leverage given their relatively lower volatility. Major cryptocurrencies including ETH, BNB, and SOL allow up to 500x leverage. Altcoins and commodities are capped at 50x, while equities and indices permit up to 25x leverage. These limits ensure traders can maximize capital efficiency while maintaining appropriate risk boundaries for each asset type.

Market Hours

HertzFlow aligns its trading availability with the operating schedules of its underlying price oracle infrastructure, which mirrors the standard trading hours of each asset class in traditional markets. While cryptocurrency and forex markets trade continuously, certain real-world asset markets follow traditional trading schedules. Equity markets align with stock exchange hours, and commodity markets maintain hours specific to each asset class.

During market closure, all trading operations including opening, closing, editing, and canceling positions are disabled. Existing positions remain open, and active take profit or stop loss orders continue to monitor for trigger conditions when markets reopen.
