You can trade SP500-USD with up to 20x leverage on Polymarket. The default margin mode is Isolated. For example, with 20x leverage and a $1,000 position, you're controlling $20,000.00 worth of SP500. Higher leverage amplifies both gains and losses, and at current settings, a 20x long position would have a liquidation price around $7,226.7.

SP500-USD uses two prices. The oracle price (7,417.5) reflects S&P 500's real-time stock price from external data feeds.

Right now, the spread between mark and oracle is just $0.6 (0.01%), which means the contract is tracking SP500's spot price very closely. A funding rate of 0.0006% is applied every funding cycle to keep these prices aligned.

Beyond SP500-USD, Polymarket offers perpetuals on other popular Indices assets including NAS100-USD. Each contract works the same way: pUSD-settled, no expiry, with leverage up to 20x.

Polymarket perpetuals supports both Cross Margin and Isolated Margin. Cross Margin shares collateral across all open positions, which can help prevent liquidation, but may put more of your balance at risk. Isolated Margin assigns collateral to each position individually, so only the funds allocated to that position are at risk of liquidation.

Through its partnership with TradingView, Polymarket brings advanced charts, indicators, drawing tools, and multiple timeframes directly to each Perps asset page. TradingView provides charting technology for traders to review price action and prepare trades using symbols such as ETHUSD and BTCUSD charts, among others.
