What Is SHAZUSDT Perpetual Futures?

SHAZUSDT perpetual futures is a leveraged derivatives contract where SHAZU token is the base asset and USDT is the quote and margin currency, allowing traders to go long or short on SHAZU's price with no expiry date and no settlement. The ticker decodes as: SHAZU (the token being traded) + USDT (Tether, the stablecoin used for pricing and collateral).

This is a USDT-margined (linear) contract. You never hold actual SHAZU tokens when trading this instrument. Your profit or loss, your margin deposit, and your funding payments are all denominated in USDT.

USDT serves a dual role in this contract: it is both the quote currency (SHAZU's price is expressed in USDT) and the margin currency (you deposit USDT as collateral to open and maintain your position). Before trading, you must have USDT available in your futures wallet specifically. BTC, ETH, or other tokens cannot be used as margin for this contract. The wallet transfer process is covered in Step 1: Fund Your Futures Wallet.

What Is SHAZU Token?

SHAZU token is a cryptocurrency that operates on the Solana blockchain, functioning as the native utility and governance token of the Shazu protocol. Holders use it to participate in ecosystem governance decisions and to access protocol features. Verify current token details on SHAZU on CoinGecko or SHAZU on CoinMarketCap before trading, as token classifications can change.

For a full overview of the SHAZ token, its tokenomics and use cases, see what is SHAZ token.

As a lower-cap altcoin, SHAZU carries higher price volatility than large-cap assets like BTC or ETH. A token with a smaller market capitalization can move 10%, 20%, or more in a single session on significant volume. That volatility directly affects leverage selection: the more volatile the underlying asset, the closer your liquidation price sits to your entry at any given leverage level. The leverage guidance in Step 4: Set Your Leverage accounts for this directly.

Trading SHAZUSDT perpetual does not require owning or holding SHAZU tokens. The perpetual contract tracks SHAZU's price through the funding rate mechanism without any token transfer.

What Is a Perpetual Futures Contract?

A perpetual futures contract is a derivative instrument that lets you speculate on an asset's price using leverage, with no expiry date and no need to roll your position into a new contract. You agree to buy or sell the asset at the current market price, but no actual asset changes hands.

The key difference from traditional quarterly futures is the absence of a settlement date. You can hold a SHAZUSDT perpetual position for one hour or one month without it expiring. The contract stays price-anchored to SHAZU's spot market price through the funding rate mechanism: when perpetual prices drift above spot, longs pay shorts; when prices drift below, shorts pay longs. This pressure keeps the two prices aligned.

The table below shows how spot trading and perpetual futures compare across the dimensions that matter most for your trading decisions:

A long position (going long) means you profit when SHAZU's price rises above your entry price. A short position (going short) means you profit when the price falls below your entry price. Both directions are available on the perpetual contract without owning the underlying token.

For a deeper look at how spot margin and futures differ at the exchange level, see How To Long And Short With Spot Margin Trading.

Where to Trade SHAZUSDT Perpetual Futures

As of July 2025, SHAZUSDT perpetual futures is available on Bybit. Verify availability on Bybit's futures market listing page before depositing funds, as altcoin perpetual listings can be added or removed.

Exchange fees and leverage tiers are subject to change. Verify current rates on Bybit's contract specification and fee schedule pages before trading.

📌 Note: Bybit restricts futures trading based on geographic location. Verify that SHAZUSDT perpetual trading is available in your country before creating an account or depositing funds.

The procedural steps in this guide use Bybit as the walkthrough platform. You can access SHAZUSDT perpetual directly at Trade SHAZUSDT on Bybit.

📱 Trading on Mobile? Bybit offers a mobile app with full futures trading functionality. The navigation paths referenced in this guide apply to the Bybit desktop interface. Mobile-specific paths are noted at each relevant step.

What You Need Before You Start

Before placing your first SHAZUSDT perpetual trade, confirm you have the following in place:

• A verified account on Bybit with identity verification complete
• USDT in your spot wallet (the margin currency for the SHAZUSDT perpetual contract)
• Two-factor authentication enabled on your account
• The Bybit app installed on your phone if trading on mobile
• Basic familiarity with your exchange's spot interface (you have placed at least one buy or sell order before)

If you have USDT in your spot wallet but have not used futures before, the next step covers the transfer process that trips up most first-time futures traders.

Step 1: Fund Your Futures Wallet

Your spot wallet and your Derivatives Account are separate account balances on Bybit. USDT does not move between them automatically, so you must transfer funds before placing any futures trade.

If you've never used Bybit Futures before, this is the step that stops most new traders. The instructions below walk you through it precisely.

1. Log in to your Bybit account on desktop or the Bybit app.
2. Click [Assets] in the top navigation bar.
3. Select [Transfer] from the asset management dropdown menu.
4. Choose [From: Spot Account] as the source.
5. Choose [To: Derivatives Account] as the destination.
6. Enter the USDT amount you want to move to your Derivatives Account.
7. Click [Confirm Transfer] to execute the transaction.
8. Verify the transfer succeeded by checking that your Derivatives Account balance now shows the transferred USDT amount.

📌 Note: On Bybit, this wallet is called the "Derivatives Account." Transfer USDT here before placing any futures trade.

📱 Trading on Mobile? In the Bybit app, tap [Assets] at the bottom navigation bar, then tap [Transfer], and select Spot to Derivatives as the transfer direction.

⚠️ Risk Note: Transfer only the USDT you plan to use for this trade. Keeping excess funds in your Derivatives Account across multiple open positions increases your total exposure.

Step 2: Find the SHAZUSDT Perpetual Contract

The SHAZUSDT perpetual contract on Bybit is located in the USDT Perpetual section. The futures interface looks different from spot trading; the steps below orient you to the key elements you will use.

1. Click [Derivatives] in the top navigation bar on Bybit.
2. Select [USDT Perpetual] from the derivatives product menu.
3. Search for "SHAZ" or "SHAZUSDT" in the contract search bar.
4. Click the SHAZUSDT contract to open the full trading interface.
5. Confirm you are on the correct contract: the top data bar displays the Mark Price, Last Price, and Funding Rate with a countdown timer to the next payment interval.

The order book (the list of all outstanding buy and sell orders at various price levels) is displayed on the right side of the interface. For SHAZUSDT, the order book is thinner than on BTC or ETH perpetuals, meaning market orders carry higher slippage risk on larger sizes. Factor this in when selecting your order type in Step 5.

📱 Trading on Mobile? In the Bybit app, tap [Derivatives] at the bottom of the screen, then search for SHAZUSDT in the contract search bar.

Step 3: Choose Your Margin Mode

Isolated margin is the recommended margin mode for SHAZUSDT perpetual trading. It caps your maximum loss to the USDT amount you allocate to this single position, regardless of what else is in your Derivatives Account.

For SHAZUSDT specifically, isolated margin protects the rest of your Derivatives Account if this position is liquidated. SHAZU's lower market cap means price swings can be sharper and faster than on major-pair perpetuals. A single adverse move of 15 to 20% is not unusual on a lower-cap altcoin. Isolated margin ensures that outcome affects only the margin you assigned to this trade.

To select your margin mode on Bybit:

1. Open the SHAZUSDT perpetual trading interface.
2. Click the margin mode label near the top of the order entry panel (it defaults to [Cross] on most exchanges).
3. Select [Isolated] from the options presented.
4. Confirm the change when the confirmation prompt appears.

📌 Note: On Bybit, you can switch margin modes on an existing position.

Step 4: Set Your Leverage

Leverage is a multiplier that lets you control a larger position than your deposited margin. At 10x leverage, $100 of USDT margin controls a $1,000 notional position in SHAZUSDT.

How position size works: $100 margin x 10x leverage = $1,000 notional position size (the total notional value of your trade = margin multiplied by leverage). If SHAZU's price rises 10%, your unrealized gain is $100 (a 100% return on your $100 margin). If the price falls 10%, your $100 margin is fully liquidated.

Leverage tier reference for SHAZUSDT on Bybit (verify current tiers on Bybit's contract specification page):

Liquidation distances are approximate and depend on the maintenance margin rate. See Understanding Liquidation on SHAZUSDT Perpetual for the worked calculation.

Recommendation: For most traders new to SHAZUSDT perpetual, starting with 2x to 5x leverage leaves enough price distance to manage the trade without premature liquidation. SHAZU's lower market cap makes it more volatile than BTC or ETH. Higher leverage on a volatile asset compresses the gap between your entry and your liquidation price.

Position sizing framework: Consider risking no more than 1 to 5% of your total Derivatives Account balance per SHAZUSDT trade. If your account holds $500 USDT, your maximum risk per trade should be $5 to $25. At 5x leverage, that equals a notional position of $25 to $125.

To set leverage on Bybit:

1. Click the leverage indicator displayed near the order entry panel (it shows the current leverage, for example "10x").
2. Drag the leverage slider or type your preferred leverage value directly into the input field.
3. Set the value to 2x to 5x for your first SHAZUSDT trade.
4. Click [Confirm] to apply the setting.
5. Verify the leverage indicator now displays your selected value next to the SHAZUSDT pair name.

⚠️ Risk Note: At 25x leverage, a ~4% adverse move in SHAZU's price will liquidate your isolated position. At 5x leverage, the same position requires an 18% adverse move before liquidation. Lower leverage gives you more time to react and adjust.

Step 5: Place Your Long or Short Trade on SHAZUSDT Perpetual

Opening a SHAZUSDT perpetual position requires three decisions: choose a direction (long or short), select an order type (market or limit), and enter your trade size. All three happen within the order entry panel on the left side of the interface.

Order type selection:

A market order executes immediately at the best available price in the order book. For SHAZUSDT, which has lower trading volume than BTC or ETH perpetuals, market orders can execute at a slightly less favorable price than displayed. For larger position sizes, a limit order is preferable.

A limit order executes only when the mark price reaches your specified entry price. Limit orders earn a maker fee (lower than the taker fee on market orders) and give you full price control, though they may not fill immediately.

💡 Pro Tip: Use limit orders for larger SHAZUSDT positions to avoid slippage and earn the maker fee. See SHAZUSDT Perpetual Trading Fees: Complete Breakdown for the cost difference.

How to Open a Long (Buy) Position on SHAZUSDT Perpetual

A long position means you profit when SHAZU's price rises above your entry price. Opening a long is the perpetual futures equivalent of buying SHAZUSDT. You do not receive actual SHAZU tokens.

1. Confirm your margin mode is set to Isolated (Step 3 above).
2. Confirm your leverage is configured at your target level (Step 4 above).
3. Click the [Buy / Long] tab in the order entry panel on the left side of the trading interface.
4. Select your order type: [Market] for immediate execution or [Limit] for a specific entry price.
5. Enter your order size in the [Amount] field (denominated in USDT or SHAZU contracts; verify the unit label shown on your exchange).
6. Review the order summary: confirm the entry price, margin required, and the estimated liquidation price displayed.
7. Click [Buy / Long] to submit the order.
8. Verify the position opened: the open positions panel at the bottom of the screen shows SHAZUSDT Long with your entry price, position size, allocated margin, and liquidation price.

How to Open a Short (Sell) Position on SHAZUSDT Perpetual

A short position means you profit when SHAZU's price falls below your entry price. Short selling on perpetual futures does not require borrowing the asset. You simply open a sell position on the contract.

1. Confirm your margin mode is set to Isolated (Step 3 above).
2. Confirm your leverage is configured at your target level (Step 4 above).
3. Click the [Sell / Short] tab in the order entry panel.
4. Select your order type: [Market] for immediate execution or [Limit] for price control.
5. Enter your order size in the [Amount] field.
6. Review the order summary: confirm the entry price, margin required, and estimated liquidation price.
7. Click [Sell / Short] to submit the order.
8. Verify the position opened: the open positions panel shows SHAZUSDT Short with your entry price, allocated margin, position size, and liquidation price.

📌 Note: For a short position, your liquidation price sits ABOVE your entry price (not below, as with a long). The position panel confirms this. At 5x leverage on a short with a $0.100 entry price, your liquidation price is approximately $0.118, roughly 18% above entry.

⚠️ Risk Note: Your liquidation price appears in the open positions panel immediately after your order fills. Set a stop-loss before leaving the trading interface. Instructions follow in Step 6 below.

Step 6: Set Your Stop-Loss and Take-Profit

A stop-loss order automatically closes your SHAZUSDT position when the mark price reaches a specified loss threshold, limiting your loss before the exchange's liquidation engine takes over.

Your stop-loss should sit between your entry price and your liquidation price: close enough to protect capital, far enough to absorb normal price noise. For a long position on SHAZUSDT at 5x leverage with a sample entry price of $0.100, the liquidation price is approximately $0.082. A stop-loss placed at $0.090 (10% below entry) exits the trade before that level is reached. For a worked explanation of how liquidation prices are calculated, see Mark Price vs. Last Price: Why It Matters for Liquidation.

Unrealized PnL (Profit and Loss) is shown in your positions panel as your current gain or loss at the current mark price. It becomes realized only when you close the position. Negative unrealized PnL reduces your available margin and raises your effective risk of liquidation.

To set a stop-loss on Bybit:

1. Locate your open SHAZUSDT position in the positions panel at the bottom of the trading interface.
2. Click the [TP/SL] button displayed next to your position entry.
3. Enter your stop-loss price in the [Stop Loss] field. The trigger price uses the mark price by default.
4. Confirm the price is above your liquidation price (for a long) or below it (for a short).
5. Click [Confirm] to attach the stop-loss to your position.

⚠️ Risk Note: Your stop-loss is triggered by the mark price, not the last traded price. Set it above your liquidation price (for a long) to exit the trade with remaining margin before the exchange liquidates your position.

Setting a take-profit order:

A take-profit order closes your position automatically when the mark price reaches your target profit level. For volatile altcoins like SHAZU, percentage-based targets are more reliable than arbitrary price levels. Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 2:1: your take-profit distance from entry should be at least twice your stop-loss distance. If your stop-loss is 10% below entry, place your take-profit at 20% or more above entry.

To set a take-profit on Bybit:

1. Click the [TP/SL] button on your open position (the same panel used for stop-loss).
2. Enter your target price in the [Take Profit] field.
3. Click [Confirm] to attach the take-profit to your position.

For a detailed explanation of how TP/SL orders work on perpetual futures contracts, see Introduction to Take Profit Stop Loss Perpetual Futures Contracts.

Mark Price vs. Last Price: Why It Matters for Liquidation

Liquidations on SHAZUSDT perpetual are triggered by the mark price, not the last traded price. This distinction protects traders from artificial liquidation cascades caused by temporary price spikes on a single exchange.

The three price points displayed on a SHAZUSDT perpetual interface have distinct roles:

• Last Price: the most recent trade executed on the exchange's SHAZUSDT perpetual order book
• Index Price: the average of SHAZU's spot price across multiple major exchanges, calculated and published by your exchange
• Mark Price: the Index Price adjusted by a funding basis, designed to reflect fair value and resist short-term manipulation on any single platform

The chain runs: Index Price adjusted by funding basis produces Mark Price, which triggers liquidations and TP/SL orders.

Both the Mark Price and Last Price are displayed in the top data bar of the SHAZUSDT perpetual trading interface. On Bybit, these are labeled [Mark] and [Last] respectively. The two prices are typically close but diverge during periods of high volatility or low liquidity.

For the technical methodology behind mark price calculation, see Mark Price Calculation Perpetual Expiry Contracts.

Understanding Liquidation on SHAZUSDT Perpetual

Liquidation is the forced closure of your SHAZUSDT position by the exchange when your margin balance falls below the maintenance margin threshold due to an adverse price movement.

The exchange monitors your position in real time using the mark price. When the mark price crosses your liquidation price, the exchange's liquidation engine closes your position automatically. You cannot reverse a liquidation after it occurs.

How to find your liquidation price: It is displayed in the open positions panel, directly beside your entry price. The figure updates in real time as the mark price moves.

Worked calculation (sample long position):

Entry price: $0.100 | Margin mode: Isolated | Contract: SHAZUSDT perpetual on Bybit

These figures are approximate, using standard initial margin rates. Actual liquidation price depends on Bybit's maintenance margin formula for SHAZUSDT. Verify your exact liquidation price in the open positions panel before leaving the interface.

For a short position at the same entry price, the liquidation price sits above entry (at 5x leverage, approximately $0.118, roughly 18% above entry). Always check the liquidation price shown in your specific position panel for the precise figure.

What happens when your SHAZUSDT position is liquidated:

When the mark price reaches your liquidation price, the exchange closes your position at the best available market price. If any margin remains after covering the loss and associated fees, it is returned to your Derivatives Account. An insurance fund may absorb the deficit if the position closes at a loss exceeding your remaining margin.

How to avoid liquidation on SHAZUSDT futures:

• Use 2x to 5x leverage rather than leverage above 10x; each tier effectively widens the price buffer between your entry and your liquidation level
• Set isolated margin mode so only this position's allocated margin is at risk if SHAZU moves against you
• Place a stop-loss above your liquidation price (for a long) to exit the trade with capital intact before the engine fires
• Monitor your margin ratio in the positions panel; a margin ratio approaching 100% means you are near liquidation
• Keep your position size at 1 to 5% of your total Derivatives Account balance, preventing a single adverse move from damaging your full account
• Add margin to an open position if the price is moving against you and you want to lower the liquidation price
• Reduce your position size or partially close the position if unrealized losses are approaching your risk limit

⚠️ Risk Note: Liquidation is permanent. Once your SHAZUSDT position is liquidated, there is no reversal or refund process. The risk management steps above reduce, but do not eliminate, the possibility of liquidation.

For profit and loss calculation methodology on USDT-margined contracts, see Profit Loss Calculations USDT Contract.

Understanding the SHAZUSDT Funding Rate

The SHAZUSDT funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged between long and short position holders every 8 hours, designed to keep the perpetual contract price anchored to SHAZU's spot market price.

How the funding rate works:

• When the funding rate is positive, long position holders pay short position holders
• When the funding rate is negative, short position holders pay long position holders
• The funding rate is a peer-to-peer transfer between traders, not a fee charged by the exchange

Where to find the current rate: The SHAZUSDT funding rate and the countdown to the next 8-hour payment are displayed in the top data bar of the trading interface. For live SHAZ perpetual price and funding rate data, see SHAZ price today.

Worked cost example (sample rate: 0.01%):

The formula is: Position Size x Funding Rate = Payment per 8-hour interval

• $500 x 0.0001 = $0.05 per interval
• $1,000 x 0.0001 = $0.10 per interval
• $5,000 x 0.0001 = $0.50 per interval

Funding cost table (using 0.01% as an illustrative sample rate):

Actual SHAZUSDT funding rates vary and are not fixed at 0.01%. Rates can spike during high-volatility periods, particularly when long sentiment is dominant. Check the current rate before holding a position overnight.

Funding rates on lower-cap altcoin perpetuals like SHAZUSDT can be more volatile than rates on BTC or ETH perpetuals. An elevated positive funding rate signals that longs are paying shorts a higher premium, which can serve as a contrarian sentiment signal for traders monitoring market positioning.

The funding fee deducted from your account is not a trading fee charged by the exchange. It is a peer-to-peer transfer. For exchange-charged trading fees, see SHAZUSDT Perpetual Trading Fees: Complete Breakdown below.

SHAZUSDT Perpetual Trading Fees: Complete Breakdown

Trading SHAZUSDT perpetual involves two distinct cost categories: exchange-charged trading fees (maker and taker) and the peer-to-peer funding fee. Separating these two prevents unexpected costs from affecting your position.

The table below consolidates all fee types for SHAZUSDT perpetual on Bybit. Verify current rates on Bybit's fee schedule before trading, as fee tiers are subject to change.

Standard maker/taker fee rates on Bybit for USDT perpetual contracts. Taker and withdrawal fees are current as of July 2025. Funding fee figures use a 0.01% sample rate. See Understanding the SHAZUSDT Funding Rate for the full cost calculation at different rates and position sizes.

Worked trade cost example:

Opening a $500 SHAZUSDT position with a market order at 0.055% taker fee costs $0.275 in entry fees. Closing with another market order costs $0.275. The total round-trip trading fee is $0.55, before accounting for any funding fees accumulated while the position was open.

Opening the same position with a limit order costs 0.02% ($0.10 on $500) in maker fees on Bybit, making limit orders the cost-efficient choice for planned entries.

Fee rates decrease for higher VIP tiers on Bybit. Check Bybit's fee schedule for current VIP tier thresholds.

The funding fee row in the table above represents a peer-to-peer payment between traders, not an exchange charge. The full mechanics and cost projections are covered in Understanding the SHAZUSDT Funding Rate.

Risk Management and Trading Tips for SHAZUSDT Perpetual

Trading SHAZUSDT perpetual profitably over time depends less on predicting price direction than on managing the mechanics of leverage, position size, and holding cost.

• Limit leverage to 2x to 5x on SHAZUSDT. Lower leverage widens the price buffer between your entry and your liquidation price. SHAZU's lower market cap produces larger intraday percentage moves than BTC or ETH, making this particularly relevant for this asset.

• Size positions at 1 to 5% of your Derivatives Account per trade. Risking more than 5% of your account balance on a single lower-cap altcoin position exposes you to account-level damage from one adverse move.

• Always attach a stop-loss before leaving the trading interface. A stop-loss set above your liquidation price (for a long) ensures you exit with some margin intact rather than losing the full position to the liquidation engine.

• Monitor the funding rate before holding overnight. At a 0.05% funding rate, a $1,000 position costs $1.50 per day in funding payments. For positions held across multiple days, this cost accumulates materially against your unrealized PnL.

• Check open interest before entering. Open interest (the total value of all outstanding SHAZUSDT perpetual contracts) reflects market participation and liquidity depth. Higher open interest generally means narrower spreads and lower slippage on larger orders. Track live open interest on Coinglass.

• Use the exchange's TradingView chart to time entries. Many SHAZUSDT traders use technical analysis tools such as support and resistance levels, moving averages, and RSI to identify entry points. The exchange's built-in TradingView chart provides these indicators directly on the futures trading interface.

• Aim for a 2:1 risk-reward ratio minimum. Your take-profit target should be at least twice the distance from your entry as your stop-loss. At this ratio, a 50% win rate is sufficient to maintain a flat account before fees are deducted.

• Consider entry timing methodology. Opening a long position near a defined support level and a short near a defined resistance level provides a structural edge over random entries. An extreme positive funding rate can also serve as a contrarian signal: when longs are paying a large premium to shorts, the market may be overleveraged in the long direction.

Frequently Asked Questions about SHAZUSDT Perpetual Futures

What is a perpetual futures contract in crypto?

A perpetual futures contract is a derivatives instrument that lets you speculate on an asset's price using leverage, with no expiry date. Unlike traditional quarterly futures, perpetual contracts never settle. The contract stays anchored to the spot price through a periodic funding rate mechanism. Full explanation in What Is a Perpetual Futures Contract.

How do I set leverage for SHAZUSDT perpetual trading?

Click the leverage indicator near the order entry panel on the SHAZUSDT perpetual interface. Drag the slider or type a value, then click Confirm. For SHAZUSDT, starting with 2x to 5x leverage is recommended due to the token's lower market cap and higher price volatility compared to BTC or ETH. Full steps and a leverage tier table are in Step 4: Set Your Leverage.

What is the minimum amount to trade SHAZUSDT futures?

On Bybit, the minimum order size for SHAZUSDT perpetual is 1 USDT. Verify the current minimum on Bybit's contract specification page before trading, as contract parameters can be updated. This information is also shown in the exchange table in Where to Trade SHAZUSDT Perpetual Futures.

How is the funding rate calculated for SHAZUSDT perpetual?

The funding rate is charged every 8 hours. Your payment equals position size multiplied by the funding rate percentage. At 0.01% with a $1,000 long position, you pay $0.10 per interval ($0.30 per day). At 0.05%, that same position costs $0.50 per interval ($1.50 per day). Full worked examples and a cost table are in Understanding the SHAZUSDT Funding Rate.

What happens if my SHAZUSDT position gets liquidated?

When the mark price crosses your liquidation price, the exchange's liquidation engine closes your entire position at the best available market price. Any margin remaining after covering the loss and fees is returned to your Derivatives Account. Liquidation is permanent with no reversal process. Full details and the worked liquidation price table are in Understanding Liquidation on SHAZUSDT Perpetual.

Is there a difference between SHAZUSDT spot and perpetual?

Yes. On the SHAZUSDT spot market, you purchase and hold actual SHAZU tokens, with no leverage and no funding cost. On SHAZUSDT perpetual futures, you hold a derivative contract with no token ownership, using leverage, and paying or receiving a funding fee every 8 hours. Perpetual futures also allow short positions, which spot trading does not. The full comparison table is in What Is a Perpetual Futures Contract.

How do I set a stop-loss on SHAZUSDT futures?

In the open positions panel at the bottom of the interface, click the [TP/SL] button next to your SHAZUSDT position. Enter your stop-loss price in the Stop Loss field, confirm it sits above your liquidation price (for a long), and click Confirm. The stop-loss triggers on the mark price. Full numbered steps are in Step 6: Set Your Stop-Loss and Take-Profit.
