Worked number margin × risk % ÷ stop distance = position size

The stop distance sets the size, whatever the leverage dial says. The dial only changes how much collateral the position locks and where the liquidation line sits.

Key takeaways

A perp short needs no borrow and no locate — you post USDC margin and the contract tracks the price.

Size from the stop: divide your risk budget by the distance to the stop — that is the position size, whatever the leverage dial says.

A short liquidates above entry, and higher leverage pulls the liquidation line closer to the mark.

Funding settles every 1h on the notional. Treat APR as a carrying cost, not a round-trip fee.

Set size and leverage from the stop

Common mistakes when shorting a stock perp

1 Sizing by leverage, not stop distance. The dial sets the maximum notional; the stop sets the size that matches your risk budget. Take the second number.

2 Putting the stop below entry. A short is invalidated by a rise — the stop belongs above the entry, and below the liquidation line.

3 Treating positive funding as income. The carry is small next to an adverse move, and the sign flips with the market.

4 Holding a short through a scheduled print at maximum leverage. The liquidation line can sit narrower than a typical overnight gap.

5 Reading a perp short as a share sale. You hold a contract tracking the price, not borrowed stock — no locate, no recall, no dividend liability.

6 Budgeting a total cost without fees. Canborsa charges 0.07% per side, 0.14% round-trip — add it to every cost figure here.
