Joining the Game

Getting started with PerpCord is simple. Use the /perp join command in any channel where the bot is active.
When you join, you’ll receive 10,000 coins to start trading. This is your paper trading balance - no real money is involved!
You must accept the PerpCord terms first. The bot requires the terms-accepted Discord role before you can /perp join — without it you’ll get an ephemeral error. Look for the terms-acceptance prompt in the server.
If you’ve played before, /perp join will show your current stats instead of creating a new account. After a monthly season reset, you’ll need to /perp join again to be included in the new season.

​
Game Rounds

PerpCord runs quick ~10 minute rounds for action-packed trading. New rounds start automatically back-to-back, so there’s always a game to play!

​
Your First Trade

Once you’ve joined, you’re ready to place your first trade. Here’s how:

​
Step 1: Check the Current Round

Use /perp status to see if there’s an active trading round:
This shows you:
  • The current token being traded
  • The entry price at round start
  • Current price and price change
  • Time remaining in the round
  • Whether trading is open or closed

​
Step 2: Decide Your Position

Before trading, decide:
  • LONG - You think the price will go UP
  • SHORT - You think the price will go DOWN

​
Step 3: Place Your Trade

Use the /perp trade command:
Parameters:
  • direction - LONG or SHORT
  • leverage - 🐢 3× (chill), 🚀 10× (normal), ⚔️ 100× (risky), or 💣 250× (YOLO)
  • size - How many coins to risk (must be less than your balance)
You can only place one trade per round. Choose wisely!

​
Step 4: Wait for Settlement

When the round ends, the bot automatically:
  1. Fetches the final price
  2. Calculates your profit or loss
  3. Updates your balance
  4. Announces the results

Understanding Your Balance

Your balance is your virtual coin amount. Here’s what affects it:
Manage your balance carefully! If you lose too much, you can still recover - earning the Comeback Kid badge if you climb back from under 1,000 coins to over 10,000.
