Using the Market
How to use the Market page on Ritdex — browse every perpetual market, search tickers, build a watchlist, read market data and jump straight into a trade.
The Market page is where you discover what to trade. It lists every market Ritdex supports — crypto, tokenized stocks, commodities, FX and more — with live prices, and lets you jump straight from a ticker into its chart and order form.
Browse & search
- Browse the full list of markets with live price and 24h change.
- Search by ticker (e.g.
BTC,TSLA,GOLD) to jump to a market instantly. - Categories group markets so you can scan crypto vs stocks vs commodities vs FX.
One USDC balance trades everything on the Market — you don't hold a separate balance per asset class. See Perps Trading for the full list of market types.

Each market shows the essentials at a glance:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|

| 24h change | Percent move over the last day (green up / red down) |
| 24h volume | How much traded — a quick liquidity signal |
| Funding | The current funding rate for that perp (paid between traders) |

From Market to trade
- Tap a market to open its full view — chart, order book and order form.

- Place a trade — set leverage and an order type, then Buy/Long or Sell/Short. Step-by-step in Opening a Position.
Prefer hands-off? Once you've found a market you like, let an Auto-Trading Bot trade it off live signals, or Copy Trade a top trader instead.
Market data & performance
Beyond prices, the Market view surfaces context — volume, open interest and funding — so you can gauge liquidity and sentiment before committing margin. Always check the liquidation price the order form shows before you confirm a leveraged trade (Perps Basics).
