Outpoll has added perpetual futures trading to its prediction-market platform, giving users one account balance for both event positions and leveraged market trades. The new “Trading” section is available through the company’s web platform and its Android app on Google Play, placing prediction markets, crypto contracts, stock and index products, and commodities within the same interface.
The design removes the need to transfer funds between a prediction-market account and a separate derivatives venue before placing a hedge. Users can view event-market exposure and perpetual-contract positions side by side, with the same account layout on desktop and mobile.
Outpoll said existing active users can access the feature directly from their accounts and use their current balances. The company is also offering an early-registration bonus that may be applied toward trading fees or position size, subject to its platform rules.
Perpetual contracts across crypto, stocks and commodities
The trading module offers contracts quoted in USDT and USDC across three categories: cryptocurrencies, stocks and indexes, and commodities.
Outpoll lists more than 80 crypto trading pairs, including BTC, XMR and PUMPFUN. Its stocks and indexes category includes more than 20 pairs, with products tied to names such as Apple and Microsoft as well as the SPX500 index. The commodities section currently includes four pairs.
All of the products use perpetual contracts, derivatives that do not have a set expiration date or require traders to roll into a later-dated contract. That structure has become common in crypto markets, where traders often use perpetuals for short-term directional positions or to offset exposure held elsewhere.
Outpoll allows long and short positions with leverage of up to 100x. High leverage can reduce the amount of collateral needed to open a position, but it also narrows the distance between an entry price and liquidation. A relatively modest move against a highly leveraged trade can exhaust its margin and force the position to close.
The launch places those risks directly beside prediction-market positions, which are typically tied to the outcome of a specific event rather than the price of an asset. A trader expecting an economic, corporate or political event to move a particular market could now hold an event contract and a derivatives position from the same balance, rather than managing collateral across separate services.
Margin modes and order controls target active traders
The platform includes isolated and cross-margin options. Isolated margin limits the collateral assigned to a particular position, while cross margin draws from the available balance in the relevant account to support open trades. The choice can materially change how losses are handled during volatile market conditions.
Outpoll also supports one-way and hedge modes. One-way mode generally consolidates exposure in an asset into a single net long or short position. Hedge mode allows a user to hold both long and short positions in the same market at the same time, a setup often used for more complex strategies or temporary risk management.
Available order types include market and limit orders, alongside take-profit and stop-loss instructions. The platform also offers reduce-only orders, which are designed to decrease or close an existing position without accidentally adding to it.
The order screen includes TradingView charts and a margin calculator that provides an estimated liquidation price before a trade is submitted. That estimate gives users a visible reference point for the price level at which a leveraged position could be closed, although actual outcomes can depend on price movements, margin levels and the platform’s contract rules.
A public API is also available for quantitative and automated trading. Such interfaces allow developers to connect software to market data and order functions, though the performance and risk controls of any automated strategy remain the responsibility of its operator.
One balance connects two different types of market exposure
The combined account structure is the practical focus of the rollout. Prediction markets and perpetual futures serve different purposes: event contracts allow users to take positions on defined outcomes, while perpetuals offer price exposure to an underlying market. Combining them can make it easier to manage related positions without waiting for deposits, withdrawals or internal transfers.
That convenience could be particularly relevant when a user wants to react quickly to an event-market view with a market hedge. A position on a macroeconomic outcome, for example, may carry an indirect relationship with Bitcoin, equities, an index or a commodity. The new module gives users tools to express both positions in one account, though a hedge can also introduce separate trading losses if the linked market does not move as expected.
The approach also makes account-level risk more important. Cross-margin trading can expose a larger share of a user’s available balance to market volatility, while prediction-market positions and derivatives positions may respond differently to the same news event. Traders using the combined service would need to monitor both forms of exposure rather than treating them as fully independent bets.
Outpoll’s terms of service are published through its documentation portal at docs.outpoll.com/terms/terms-of-service. The company cautioned that leveraged perpetual trading involves elevated risk, particularly where large position sizes and high leverage are involved.
