Risk disclosure

Leverage risk. Trading perpetual futures with leverage carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for everyone. Prices can move quickly, positions can be liquidated, and you can lose all of the margin you commit. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Synthetic exposure. Stock, ETF, forex and commodity markets on AtlasPerp are perpetual contracts that track the price of the underlying asset. They do not give you ownership of shares, currencies or commodities, voting rights or dividends. These markets follow exchange sessions and their prices can gap when trading resumes.

Self-custody and technology risk. AtlasPerp is a non-custodial interface. You are responsible for your wallet, private keys and every transaction you sign. Smart contracts, blockchains, oracles and cross-chain infrastructure are audited but may still fail or be exploited.

No advice; your responsibility. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and past performance does not guarantee future results. You are responsible for making sure that using AtlasPerp is lawful where you live. AtlasPerp must not be used in violation of applicable laws or sanctions. See the Terms of Service.

Traditional markets as perpetual futures

Stock, ETF, forex and commodity markets on AtlasPerp are perpetual futures that track the price of the real asset. You trade them from the same USDC balance as crypto, go long or short, and never need a brokerage account. You do not own the underlying shares or metal.

Exchange holidays and early closes apply. Each market shows whether it is open.

When a market is closed

  • The market is marked Closed, and the reference price is frozen until it reopens.
  • The mark price can only move within wider safety bands while closed.
  • When the market reopens, the price can jump to reflect news from the closed period. Stops can fill away from their trigger price.

Weekend and overnight gaps

Holding leveraged stock or forex positions over a close carries gap risk. Lower leverage or reduce size before the close.
