Placing an Order

You choose:
  • Market — BTC (testnet).
  • Direction — Long or Short.
  • Target price — between 0.5% and 5% away from the current mark price.
  • Leverage — 1× to 20×.
  • Deposit — your locked margin, minimum $10. This is drawn from your Pacifica trading balance.
Your order’s notional is set by your deposit and leverage: 
notional      = deposit × leverage
position size = notional / target price
There’s no in-place edit once an order is live. To change your target or leverage, cancel the order and place a new one.

Cancelling & Withdrawing

Cancelling a Print order sends an “end” request, but the order stays active until the end of the current 24-hour block. At that checkpoint it resolves one last time: it either fills (if the market reached your target) or returns your deposit to you. Either way, you still earn that block’s payout — cancelling never forfeits yield already in progress. When an order fills, closes, or is cancelled, your funds — the deposit plus earned yield, or the position it opened — return to your main Pacifica trading balance. Each Print order is its own margin bucket, separate from your other balances until it resolves.
