What Tickr is, how an order reaches the chain, and what it costs.

What Tickr is

Tickr is a terminal for perpetual markets on real world assets. Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, gold, oil, the S&P, major currency pairs and the large crypto pairs sit in one account, funded with USDC. There is no broker account, no share ownership and no KYC. You trade the price, not the security.

Markets

74 markets are live: 35 US stocks, 8 ETFs, 7 indices, 7 commodities, 8 forex pairs and 9 crypto pairs. Prices come from an oracle feed rather than an order book, so the quote does not depend on how deep the local liquidity is.

Stocks and ETFs follow their exchange session. Outside it the market shows as closed and the terminal displays the time left until it reopens. Forex, commodities and indices rest over the weekend. Crypto runs 24/7.

Leverage

Leverage has two ceilings, and which one applies depends on whether the position survives the session.

ClassIntradayOvernight
Stocksup to 100xup to 10x
Forexup to 200xset per pair
Indices, commodities, ETFs, cryptoup to 100xset per pair

Ticking Day trade raises the ceiling but binds the position to the session: it is closed automatically before the bell. Leaving it unticked keeps the position open overnight at the lower ceiling.

How an order works

  1. Pick a market and a side, post USDC as collateral and choose leverage.
  2. The terminal approves USDC for the Ostium contracts if that has not been done before.
  3. It calls openTrade on Ostium at Arbitrum One with your entry, size and slippage bound.
  4. The position appears in Portfolio, priced against the live feed until you close it.

Entry uses the ask for longs and the bid for shorts. Liquidation is estimated at a 90% drawdown of collateral, which is where Ostium closes a position.

Risk

Leveraged positions can be liquidated in full. A stock perp tracks the price of a stock but is not the stock: it carries no shareholder rights, no dividends and no claim on the company. Positions held against a closed market cannot be adjusted until the session reopens. Trade what you can lose.

Two chains, two roles

Tickr touches two networks and it is worth being precise about which does what.

NetworkRoleAsset
Arbitrum One 42161 Order execution on Ostium USDC collateral
Robinhood Chain 4663 Home of the token, liquidity pairs $TICK / USDG

Positions settle on Arbitrum because that is where the perpetual markets live. The token trades on Robinhood Chain against USDG (0x5fc5360D0400a0Fd4f2af552ADD042D716F1d168). Connecting a wallet shows both balances: USDC available for margin and USDG held on Robinhood Chain.
