On BRVX a long and a short are opened from the same form with one switch: Buy for a long, Sell for a short. You enter the amount, set leverage from 5x up to the market's maximum, and the order fills at the market price; BRVX has no limit or stop orders.

Open the position

  1. Select the pair

    Pick the market, for example BTC · USDT or TSLA · USDT.

  2. Enter the amount

    Type how much margin to use and pick the token it is paid in.

  3. Set leverage

    Drag the slider or tap one of three presets. On BTC the presets are x50, x100 and x150; on NVDA x10, x30 and x50.

  4. Press Buy or Sell

    Buy opens a long, Sell opens a short. The position appears under Positions.

Position size and leverage

Position size equals margin times leverage. With 100 USDT at 20x you control 2,000 USDT of exposure, and fees are charged on that full size.

Short selling works the same way on every class, so you can short a stock or oil without borrowing shares or barrels.
