What the Nvidia perpetual is

Nvidia designs the GPUs that train and run most AI models, which made it one of the largest companies in the world and one of the most traded stocks. Its shares list on Nasdaq.

The BRVX NVDA perp tracks the share price in USDT without expiry. It is a synthetic contract: no shares, no broker, no settlement.

Nvidia's fiscal year ends in late January; it reports in late February, May, August and November. GTC in March is where new GPU architectures are shown. Data-centre revenue now makes up the large majority of sales.

What moves NVDA

Nvidia trades on the AI spending cycle.

  • Quarterly results and guidance, especially data-center revenue — the biggest single-day moves come on report nights.
  • Capex plans of the cloud giants (Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta), who buy most of the chips.
  • US export rules on chips to China.

Long or short Nvidia?

An NVDA long backs AI chip demand: bigger cloud capex, new GPU generations, higher data-centre revenue.

An NVDA short bets on slowing AI spending, export limits or a report that misses sky-high expectations.

Shorting or buying NVDA on BRVX

  1. Open NVDA · USDT

    In the pair selector, go to stocks and pick NVDA.

  2. Pick leverage

    Post margin. NVDA runs 5x–50x with presets at 10x, 30x and 50x; the default is 25x.

  3. NVDA: Buy or Sell

    Buy is a long, Sell a short — that is how you short Nvidia here. TP / SL Triggers sets exits; the order fills at market.

  4. Hold across sessions

    Funding is 0.0023% per hour on each side, so a multi-week position adds up.

Leverage works both ways: a small move against you can lose you the whole margin.

Nvidia risks to know

  • Earnings nights have moved NVDA 8–10% in a session; at 10x that is most of the margin.
  • Weekend quotes can move while the exchange is shut, and the Monday open can differ again.
  • Hourly funding runs on both sides.

Event risk is concentrated.
