Manual Trading

LUMI’s manual trading screen lets you open perpetual futures positions on major assets and swap spot tokens across supported chains.

Long or Short: Profit from price moves in either direction by opening long or short positions.
Leverage: Adjust your leverage from 1× to 100×. Higher leverage increases both risk and potential reward. Lumi uses cross-margin, so your USDC collateral is shared across all positions.
Order Types: Choose Market or Limit orders, or advanced options like Immediate-or-Cancel (IOC), Fill-or-Kill (FOK), Post-Only, Take-Profit/Stop-Loss (TP/SL), and Best Bid/Offer (BBO).
Reduce-Only & Brackets: Close positions without adding exposure using reduce-only, or set take-profit and stop-loss together with bracket orders.
Fees & Funding: Maker fees start at 0.03% and taker fees at 0.06%. Funding payments occur every 8 hours between longs and shorts to align contract prices with the index.
Risk Management: Always set a stop-loss and use reasonable leverage. Perpetuals can be liquidated if your margin ratio falls too low. An insurance fund and auto-deleverage system help

Simple Swaps: Use the Swap panel to trade tokens directly from your account. Choose the token you’re selling, the token you’re buying, and the destination (your account, your agent, or an external wallet).
Smart Routing: Lumi aggregates liquidity across multiple DEXs and bridges for the best possible pricing. Adjust settings such as slippage tolerance, gas price, and route priority (best return vs. fastest).
Cross-Chain Support: Lumi handles bridging in the background. You’ll see estimated bridge time and any extra fees before confirming.
Safety Tip: Always verify token addresses and networks, and keep a small balance of the native coin in your wallet for gas fees.

Liquidity Pools: Deposit tokens directly into supported pools from the dashboard.
Track APYs: Monitor yield changes and incentives in real time; move or exit anytime.
Impermanent Loss: For LP tokens, always consider IL risk. Lumi provides indicators and strategy suggestions, but you remain in full control.
