### What Are EGLD Perpetual Futures?

**EGLD perpetual futures** are leveraged derivatives that let traders go **long** or **short** on **MultiversX (EGLD)** without owning the underlying asset.

* **Long EGLD Perpetual:** Profit when EGLD price rises.
* **Short EGLD Perpetual:** Profit when EGLD price falls.

Unlike traditional dated futures, **EGLD perpetuals never expire**. They use **hourly funding payments** between long and short traders to keep contract prices aligned with the spot EGLD market.

### EGLD Perpetual Funding Rate Explained

PowerTrade’s **EGLD funding rate** keeps perpetual prices aligned with the **EGLD/USDC Index** derived from **CoinGecko**.

**Funding Rate Formula:**

```
F = P + clamp(I – P, +0.05%, –0.05%)
```

Where:

* **P (Premium Index):** Difference between the market and index price.
* **I (Interest Rate):** 0.01% per 8 hours (applied hourly).
* **Clamp:** Limits adjustments to ±0.05% to maintain stability.

Funding is **applied hourly** and affects only positions open at settlement.\
Traders who close positions before the funding timestamp **avoid funding fees**.

### EGLD/USDC Index Price Methodology

The **EGLD/USDC Index Price** reflects MultiversX’s fair market value against USDC, using aggregated spot data from **CoinGecko’s composite feed**.

📊 **Reference Source:** MultiversX (EGLD) on CoinGecko

#### Purpose of the Index

The index ensures that **mark prices** and **liquidation levels** mirror the true global EGLD market, not price fluctuations from a single venue.\
This enhances **fairness**, **transparency**, and **price integrity** across the platform.

#### Index Construction

CoinGecko’s composite index aggregates EGLD/USDC (and equivalent) spot prices from multiple qualified exchanges and weights them by:

* Trading volume and liquidity depth
* Data reliability and uptime
* Price consistency with the global average

Outlier and stale data points are automatically excluded.\
PowerTrade uses this validated feed to calculate mark prices and funding rates in real time.

#### Fallback Mechanism

If CoinGecko’s feed becomes temporarily unavailable, PowerTrade switches to an **internal pre-market index** using **order-book bid/ask data** from EGLD perpetuals.\
This ensures continuous pricing and fair liquidations during data disruptions.

***

### Mark Price and Liquidation Logic

PowerTrade’s **mark price** smooths volatility and ensures fair PnL and liquidation logic:

```
Mark Price = Index Price + EMA(Market Price – Index Price)
```

* The **EMA (Exponential Moving Average)** over a 15-second window filters short-term price noise.
* This reduces liquidation risk and improves price stability.

**PnL Formulas:**

* **Long EGLD:** `PnL = Position Size × (Mark Price – Entry Price)`
* **Short EGLD:** `PnL = Position Size × (Entry Price – Mark Price)`

**Liquidation Trigger:** `Account Balance + Unrealized PnL ≤ Maintenance Margin`

When liquidation occurs:\
1️⃣ All open orders are canceled.\
2️⃣ Positions are closed at market.\
3️⃣ The **insurance fund** and **auto-deleveraging (ADL)** system maintain market integrity.
