Top Market Information Panel: Real-Time Contract Overview

The top section displays key market data for the selected contract, designed to help users assess market activity, risk level, and capital structure without leaving the trading interface.

1. Trading Pair & Contract Type

This area confirms the asset and contract type being traded.“Perpetual” means the contract has no expiry, with prices anchored to spot via the funding rate mechanism.Key checks:

• Are you trading the correct asset?

• Is this a perpetual contract (not a delivery contract)?

👉 This serves as the first safeguard against mis-trades. Currently, Ave.ai supports major contracts such as BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, XRP, etc.

1. Last Traded Price

This is the latest executed market price, forming the basis for all PnL calculations.In short-term trading, it is also critical for:

• Triggering stop-loss / take-profit

• Confirming breakouts

1. Index Price

The index price is derived from a weighted average across multiple spot exchanges.Its role:

• Prevent price manipulation from a single exchange

• Serve as the basis for liquidation calculations

👉 During volatility, liquidations are triggered by index price, not last traded price.

1. 24H Change / High / Low / Volume / Open Interest

These metrics reflect market volatility and activity.Typical interpretation:

• High volume + large price movement → active market, suitable for short-term trading

• Low volume + narrow range → better for grid strategies or waiting for breakout

Open Interest (OI) shows whether capital is entering or leaving the market:

• Price ↑ + OI ↑ → new long positions driving the trend

1. Funding Rate & Countdown

Funding rates keep perpetual prices aligned with spot.Traders use this to assess:

• Market positioning (long vs short crowding)

• Holding costs

Example:

• Positive funding → longs pay shorts → crowded long market 👉 Often used as a contrarian signal
