Viking Trade Documentation

Overview of the Viking Trade exchange — instruments, fees, order types, and the risk module.

Viking Trade is a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange: futures contracts and perpetual CFDs, priced against the exchange's own indexes, traded around the clock, in the browser or through the API. BTC is the primary settlement currency — collateral, P/L, and commissions are all denominated in it.
