What is a TSLA perpetual contract?

A TSLA perpetual is a derivative designed to provide price exposure linked to Tesla stock without a fixed expiry. It is not a purchase of Tesla shares and does not provide voting rights or direct ownership.

What drives Tesla-linked markets?

Tesla's reported results, vehicle deliveries, margins, energy and autonomy developments, competition, regulation, interest rates and overall equity-market sentiment may influence the underlying reference price. Perpetual market liquidity and funding can also affect contract pricing.

Long, short and leverage

Going long expresses a view that the contract price will rise; going short expresses a view that it will fall. Leverage increases notional exposure relative to margin and can amplify losses as well as gains.

Risk controls to understand
