### What Are FARTCOIN Perpetual Futures?

**FARTCOIN perpetual futures** are leveraged derivatives that let traders take **long** or **short** positions on **FART (FARTCOIN)** without owning the underlying token.

* **Long FART Perpetual:** Profit when FARTCOIN’s price rises.
* **Short FART Perpetual:** Profit when FARTCOIN’s price falls.

Unlike traditional dated futures, **FARTCOIN perpetuals never expire**. Instead, they use **hourly funding payments** between long and short traders to keep prices aligned with FARTCOIN’s global spot market value.

### FARTCOIN Perpetual Funding Rate Explained

PowerTrade’s **FARTCOIN funding rate** ensures perpetual contract prices remain in sync with the **FART/USDC Index**, sourced from [**CoinGecko**](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fartcoin).

**Funding Rate Formula:**

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

Where:

* **P (Premium Index):** Difference between the perpetual price and the index price.
* **I (Interest Rate):** 0.01% per 8 hours (applied hourly).
* **Clamp:** Limits funding rate moves within ±0.05% to stabilize trading costs.

Funding is **applied hourly** and affects only positions open at settlement.\
Traders who close positions before the funding timestamp **pay no funding fees**.

### FART/USDC Index Price Methodology

The **FART/USDC Index** reflects FARTCOIN’s fair market value in USDC, using aggregated spot data from **CoinGecko’s composite index feed**.

📊 **Reference Source:** [FARTCOIN (FART) on CoinGecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fartcoin)

#### Purpose of the Index

The index serves as the **reference price** for FART perpetual contracts, ensuring **mark prices** and **liquidations** reflect the global market — not the price swings of a single exchange.\
This promotes **market integrity**, **transparency**, and **fairness**.

#### Index Construction

CoinGecko’s index aggregates FART/USDC (and equivalent pairs) from multiple top exchanges and weights them by:

* 24-hour volume and liquidity depth
* Exchange reliability and uptime history
* Price stability relative to global averages

Outlier and stale data are automatically excluded.\
PowerTrade uses this verified feed to calculate **real-time mark pricing** and **funding rates**.

#### Fallback Mechanism

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

***

### Mark Price and Liquidation Logic

PowerTrade’s **mark price mechanism** ensures smooth volatility handling and fair liquidations:

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

* The **EMA (Exponential Moving Average)**, calculated over 15 seconds, filters short-term volatility spikes.
* This prevents unnecessary liquidations and provides consistent pricing for all traders.

**PnL Formulas:**

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

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

When triggered:\
1️⃣ All open orders are canceled.\
2️⃣ Positions close at market price.\
3️⃣ PowerTrade’s **insurance fund** and **auto-deleveraging (ADL)** systems maintain stability and fairness.
