Overview

This skill guides users through leverage trading with Avantis perpetuals on Base. It explains opening and closing long and short positions, selecting leverage and collateral, and configuring stop loss and take profit orders. It focuses on practical steps, supported markets, and risk-management best practices.

How this skill works

The skill inspects user intent for leverage-related operations (open/close positions, set SL/TP, view positions) and maps that to Avantis perpetual actions on Base. It validates parameters like asset, leverage (1x–100x), and collateral, and provides trade setup recommendations and safety checks. It can produce example orders and checklist-style guidance for execution or troubleshooting.

When to use it

  • When you want to open a long or short perpetual position on Avantis
  • When specifying leverage, collateral, stop loss, or take profit
  • When asking about supported crypto, forex, or commodities markets
  • When troubleshooting common issues: insufficient collateral, liquidation, funding rates
  • When you need risk-management guidance for leveraged trades

Best practices

  • Prefer low to moderate leverage (2–10x) until you understand position behavior
  • Always set a stop loss and consider a take profit to define risk/reward
  • Size positions so liquidation risk is acceptable relative to your capital
  • Monitor funding rates and prefer shorter holds when rates are high
  • Test order flows with small collateral before scaling up

Example use cases

  • Open a 5x long on ETH with $100 collateral and SL at $3000
  • Short BTC with 10x leverage and set TP at 20% gain
  • View all open Avantis positions and check unrealized P&L and margin
  • Close a SOL long and immediately place a smaller reverse short if trend flips
  • Trade Gold (XAU) perpetuals at 2x for commodity exposure without spot custody
