It gives users a market terminal for discovering supported perpetual markets, reviewing live market context, placing trades, and managing account activity from one place. ## Business Purpose Koto makes active trading easier to access by combining market data, order entry, account management, and social context in a single experience. A user should be able to choose a market, understand the current setup, place a trade, and manage the result without switching tools. ## Description The Trading area brings together charts, market stats, order book context, order entry, leverage controls, account balances, positions, open orders, history, and funding actions. It is designed for users who want a fast trading flow while still seeing the information needed to make and manage decisions. Trading also connects to the rest of Koto. A user can enter a market from social activity, campaign prompts, trader content, or market navigation. When users choose to share a trade, Koto can turn that activity into a social trade card with the audience they select. ## How It Works 1. The user signs in and prepares a trading account. 2. The user chooses a supported market. 3. Koto shows market context such as price movement, chart data, order book activity, recent trades, and account state. 4. The user chooses buy/long or sell/short, selects order type where available, enters size, and adjusts leverage within supported limits. 5. The user can add take-profit or stop-loss levels when supported by the order flow. 6. After submission, Koto updates positions, open orders, balances, and history so the user can continue managing the trade. 7. The user can fund the trading account from supported wallets and networks, deposit, withdraw, transfer funds between owned accounts, review account activity, and close or manage positions from the account area. ## What It Supports * Supported perpetual markets. * Market and limit order flows where available. * Buy/long and sell/short direction. * Size entry, leverage controls, and pre-trade context. * Take-profit and stop-loss inputs where supported. * Open positions, open orders, order history, trade history, funding activity, summary views, and balances. * Deposit, withdrawal, and internal transfer flows for account funding. * Funding from supported external wallet networks, with guided bridge steps where funds need to move before they can be used for trading. * Multiple trading accounts where available, including account switching and account-level activity. * Trade sharing with audience choices such as public, friends, guild, or private where supported. ## Trading Details ### Market View The market view helps users understand the current market before placing an order. It can include price movement, market stats, candlestick charting, recent trades, order book depth, and the user's own account context for the selected market. ### Order Entry Users choose trade direction, size, order type, and leverage. Where supported, users can set protection levels such as take-profit and stop-loss before submitting the trade. Koto should show relevant constraints before the order is placed, including available balance, market limits, and leverage boundaries. ### Account Activity The account area gives users a place to monitor what happens after a trade. Users can review open positions, open orders, past orders, filled trades, funding activity, balances, and account summary information. This makes trading a full lifecycle: prepare, place, monitor, adjust, and close. ### Funding And Transfers Users can manage funds around trading by depositing, withdrawing, or transferring between owned accounts where those actions are available. Koto can guide users through supported funding routes, including moving USDT from an external wallet network into the trading account. Some routes may require an approval, a bridge step, or native network fees before funds are ready to trade. Funding history helps users understand what moved, when it moved, and which account was affected. ### Trade Sharing When users choose to share a trade, the shared item should communicate useful trading context such as market, direction, timing, and outcome without exposing private details by default. The user controls the audience where sharing options are available. Trading capabilities depend on supported markets, account readiness, available balance, market constraints, and the user's eligibility for the relevant product area. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
