Gryps Trading Guide

Follow these steps to open and manage a position.

  1. Connect wallet & choose network
  • Connect any EVM wallet. Select Arbitrum.
  1. Deposit USDC
  • Fund your cross‑margin account. Deposits are immediate; withdrawals finalize after a 12‑hour fraud‑proof window.
  1. Select market & size
  • Choose a symbol (see in‑app list). Set direction (long/short), size, and desired leverage within limits.
  1. Request & accept a quote
  • Submit your trading intent. Orbs’ solver network returns competitive quotes. Review margin impact and accept to execute.
  1. Manage risk
  • Monitor PnL, maintenance margin, and account health. Add collateral or reduce exposure as conditions change.
  1. Close & withdraw
  • Close positions partially or fully. Withdraw USDC as needed (subject to the 12‑hour window).

Risk warning: Perpetuals are high risk and can lead to rapid losses. Use leverage responsibly and never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.

Typical pitfalls

  • Slippage around prints or during high volatility can widen fills.
  • Funding over long holds can erode returns even if direction is correct.
  • Leverage creep: adding size while equity falls increases liquidation risk.

Checklist before accepting a quote

  • Network selected correctly (Arbitrum) and wallet connected
  • Collateral sufficient; understand IM/MM impact
  • Leverage sanity: confirm liquidation distance
  • TP/SL configured (partial or full) as needed
