How Trading Works in SYMMIO

This section covers the mechanics of trading on Symmio: how orders are expressed, how positions are closed, what happens when a counterparty or your collateral falls short, and how funds settle and move. If you're new to the protocol, read Core Concepts first.

• Market vs. Limit Orders: the two order types, and how the peer-to-peer model changes them.

• Using Take Profit and Stop Loss: automatic exits, and what you authorize to enable them.

• Force Closing Positions: closing the position yourself when a solver won't fill.

• Liquidations: how cross-margin accounts are wound down when collateral runs low.

• Instant Trading: session keys and signed actions for CEX-speed execution.

• Withdrawals: the 12-hour cooldown and the faster paths around it.

• Settlement: turning unrealized profit into spendable collateral.

• Funding Rates: the periodic payment that keeps perp prices aligned.
