Source: https://docs.botradix.com/markets/

The BotRadix DEX lists **150 perpetual markets**, all margined and settled in USDC.

## Categories

| Category | Markets | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Crypto | 50 | Major and mid-cap crypto assets quoted in USDC |
| Multi-asset | 18 | Ten stocks, S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, gold, silver, platinum, natural gas, euro and pound |
| Synthetic | 82 | Cross pairs priced as the ratio of two assets, including EUR and GBP crosses and BAQ pairs (for example GOLD/BTC or AVAX/DOT) |

The Nasdaq 100 market is listed on chain as **XYZ100** and appears in the terminal as **NASDAQ · Nasdaq 100**.

## Market parameters

Each market defines on chain:

- its leverage tiers and open-interest cap, by market group (see [Leverage and margin](https://docs.botradix.com/margin/#leverage-tiers));
- its price tick and quantity step;
- the minimum position size (18 USDC on every market).

Read these values from the terminal or from `GET /api/dex/v1/markets` rather than assuming them; they can be adjusted.

## Listing new markets

New markets are added by the BotRadix administrator with an on-chain configuration plan, once the asset has reliable price sources in PairForge and a current price on the oracle hub. Markets that are visible but not yet enabled for trading are shown as **view only**.

## Market data

- Charts in the terminal, from 1-minute to weekly candles. On 1D and 1W the history continues before BotRadix's own price feed with data from established sources (Coinbase, Bitstamp, Binance and Bitfinex for crypto; Nasdaq, CBOE, the ECB and tokenized gold for stocks, indices, currencies and gold), up to 50,000 candles. The chart names the source of that older history.
- Current price, 24-hour high, low and DEX trading volume (opens, increases and closes, liquidations included), open interest, funding rate and time to the next funding update.
- Through the API: `/markets`, `/summaries`, `/candles`, `/markets/{pair_id}/funding` and `/markets/{pair_id}/open-interest` (see [API reference](https://docs.botradix.com/api-reference/)).
