How Manic.Trade Works
Every trade is defined by four settings in the right sidebar.
1. Mode Type (Settlement Logic)
Individual Mode
- Each position has its own independent countdown timer
- Hold multiple positions simultaneously with different expiration times
- Use case: Rapid scalping with staggered exits
Unified Mode
- Set a specific future timestamp (e.g., 14:32:00 UTC)
- All positions placed before that time settle at the same moment
- Minimum: must be at least 2 minutes in the future
- Use case: High-conviction setups targeting a specific event time
2. Duration (Individual Mode Only)
Sets the lifespan of your position.
- Ultra-fast: 30s, 1min — catch instant pumps/dumps
- Short-term: 2min, 3min, 5min — short-term trend reversals
- Extended: Longer durations available
3. Amount (Position Size)
Set your principal for the trade (e.g., $10, $20, $50). Quick-fill buttons available for faster execution.
4. Payout Multiplier
Three difficulty tiers, each with different risk/reward profiles. Higher multiplier → target lines move further from current price → harder to win → higher payout.
Opening a Position
Once parameters are set, choose your direction:
🟩 HIGHER (Long)
Prediction: price will break above the Green Target Line by settlement.
🟥 LOWER (Short)
Prediction: price will break below the Red Target Line by settlement.
Click once. Execution is instant. Price must break through the target line to win — touching without breaking counts as a loss.
Payout Calculation
- Win: Principal × Multiplier (credited instantly)
- Loss: Principal lost
Example
Amount: $10 · Multiplier: 2.1x (Classic) · Direction: HIGHER
→ Price breaks above Green Line = Win $21
Early Exit (Optional)
You can close positions before settlement. Go to the “Open Position” panel at the bottom of the screen → locate your active trade → click SELL. Position closes immediately at current Expected Earning value. Payout is calculated based on time remaining, current price position, and original multiplier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Platform Basics
What blockchain does Manic.Trade use?
Primarily Solana for its 400ms settlement speed. We also support EVM chains for wallet compatibility. This infrastructure provides ~30x faster settlement than Ethereum (12-24 seconds).
How fast is execution?
Sub-second. Typical order fills in under 0.5 seconds from clicking HIGHER/LOWER to position confirmation.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Fully responsive web interface accessible from any device. One-tap execution is optimized for mobile trading.
Do I need KYC?
No. Connect wallet and start trading immediately.
Trading Mechanics
What's the difference between Individual and Unified mode?
Individual = each trade has its own timer (e.g., 30s, 1min). Unified = you set a future timestamp and all trades settle at that exact moment (minimum 2min ahead).
Can I hold multiple positions at once?
Yes in Individual mode (each has its own countdown). In Unified mode, all positions share the same settlement time.
What happens if price exactly equals my target line?
You lose. Price must break through the line to win. Touching without breaking counts as a loss.
Can I close a trade early?
Yes. Use the SELL button in the Open Position panel. Payout is calculated based on time remaining and current price position.
Is there a maximum position size?
Limited by your account balance. System won't allow positions larger than available funds.
Fees & Funds
What are the gas fees?
$0 for trading. You only pay minimal blockchain gas fees when depositing or withdrawing funds.
What are the trading fees?
See the complete fee structure in our GitBook documentation for a detailed breakdown.
Can I withdraw Demo Cash?
No. Demo Cash is for practice only. Winnings from competitions are paid in real USDT.
When can I withdraw my Real Account funds?
Withdrawals are enabled post-beta. During alpha/beta phases, funds may be time-locked. Check current campaign terms.
Strategy & Execution
What timeframe should I use?
Match timeframe to position duration: 30s–1min positions → use 1s or 5s chart. 3min–5min positions → use 15s or 30s chart.
Should I start with Classic, Pro, or Manic mode?
Start with Classic Mode (3x max). Higher multipliers require 5%+ price movements, which are rare in sub-1min windows.
How do I know which direction to choose?
Manic.Trade provides the execution infrastructure. Direction decisions are based on your own analysis of price momentum, support/resistance levels, and news catalysts.
