How to Open a LONG

Going long means you profit if the price rises. You put up margin, a lender lends the rest, and your buying power is multiplied by leverage.

Note: the loan is denominated in your quote token (USDC or SOL/WSOL). SOL auto-wraps to WSOL.

1. On the Trade page, search the token (top bar or ⌘K). The list shows available liquidity per token.
2. Make sure the Long tab is selected.
3. Pick your quote (USDC or WSOL) and enter your margin.
4. Set leverage with the slider — entry, size, liq price, fee, daily interest update live.
5. Review, then Confirm in the Confirm Trade modal.
6. The position appears in the table and on the Portfolio page.

Tip: higher leverage = closer liquidation price. Check liq price before confirming.

Example — JUP/USDC, 5x, 10 USDC margin: you control a $50 position (10 yours + 40 borrowed). A +10% move ≈ +$5 on $10 (~50% ROI before fees); −10% roughly halves your margin.

Recap: pick token → Long → quote + margin → leverage → confirm.
