🔓 What Is Long/Short Trading on Joule?

It’s a seamless way to take leveraged exposure on APT/USDC — without relying on perps or centralized order books. With our novel position builder powered by flash loans, you can go long or short instantly, using USDC as a margin.

Here’s what makes it different:

• 🚫 No funding fees — just borrow interest.
• 💸 Collateral earns yield while your trade is open.
• ⚡ One-click execution — Joule handles all the complexity in the background.
• 🔁 Composable and non-custodial — built 100% on Aptos.

How It Works?

At its core, Joule uses your margin and pairs it with a flash loan to build a leveraged trade.

Going Long APT

Want to bet APT goes up? Here’s a simplified version of what happens:

1. You provide USDC (say, 200).
2. Joule borrows the rest (e.g., 800) via flash loan.
3. Swaps all 1,000 USDC into APT.
4. Lends the APT to earn yield.
5. Borrows USDC against that APT to pay back the flash loan.

You’re now long APT with leverage. You profit if APT rises, and your lent APT earns passive yield while your trade is open.

Going Short APT

Expecting APT to drop? The process flips:

1. Joule flash loans APT (e.g., 160 APT, 1APT ≈ 5 USDC)
2. Swaps it instantly for USDC (800).
3. Combines it with your margin (say, 200 USDC).
4. Lends the USDC to earn yield.
5. Borrows back the APT to close the flash loan.

Now you’re short. If APT drops, you profit — and your USDC is earning interest the whole time.

🆚 Why It’s Better Than Perps

• Yield-positive trades. While you’re in a position, your assets don’t sit idle.
• Simple UX. No need to understand looping, flash loans, or margin mechanics.
• No funding rate nonsense. You only pay interest on borrowed assets, nothing more.
• DeFi-native. Transparent. On-chain. Composable. Yours.
