1. **Accessing Perpetual Trading**:
   * Navigate to the **Perp** tab on the top navigation bar to enter the **Perpetual Trading** section.
   * You’ll see the **market price**, **24h change**, **funding rate**, and other details about the token you want to trade.
2. **Select Token to Trade**:
   * In the top section, you’ll see the **token** symbol (e.g., **JUP**) and its related data such as **market price**, **24-hour price change**, **open interest**, and **funding rate**.
   * Select the token you want to trade from the dropdown list.
3. **Market and Limit Orders**:
   * **Market Order**: This order type buys or sells the token immediately at the current market price.
   * **Limit Order**: Set a specific price at which you want to buy or sell the token. The order will only be executed when the token price reaches your set price.
4. **Enter Amount**:
   * In the **Available Balance** section, you will see the amount of funds you have available for trading (e.g., **3.291 USDC**).
