TRADING Tried shorting META onchain: entered at 677, currently sitting around 627
I've spent most of my time trading crypto, so moving into tokenized equities felt like a pretty natural transition.
Recently noticed META rejecting the $670-$680 area multiple times and decided to test an onchain short. Opened the position at $677 with 8x leverage and let it run. META is now around $627, making it one of my better trades this month.
A few observations after trying it:
- Execution felt very similar to perpetual futures.
- Risk management is arguably even more important when markets are available 24/7.
- Large-cap equities can move more than people expect when sentiment gets crowded.
- It's surprisingly convenient having stocks and crypto exposure in the same ecosystem.
I used Canborsa for the trade since I've been testing tokenized equities lately, but I'm still trying to understand how people manage longer-term positions in this space.
Do you think tokenized equities become a major market over the next 5 years, or does traditional brokerage infrastructure remain dominant?
