Trade Forex, the Nasdaq and Oil With USDT on Saraf

Saraf Research ·

Saraf's futures market is not only crypto. Next to Bitcoin and the altcoins it lists perpetual contracts on forex pairs, global stock indices, oil, natural gas and metals, all traded with one asset: USDT. No forex broker or foreign brokerage account needed to take a position on the euro, the Nasdaq or Brent crude.

What can you trade?

Forex

More than 30 currency pairs, including:

Stock indices

Energy and metals

Listings come from partner venues and can change. Search the futures page by name or ticker (EUR, NAS100, Brent) for what is available when you trade.

How it works

Each market is a perpetual contract: it tracks the price of the underlying and settles profit and loss in USDT. Expect the euro to strengthen against the dollar? Go long EUR. Expect the Nasdaq to fall? Go short NAS100. You never own the underlying asset and nothing is delivered; you trade the price only.

Forex moves less than crypto: a 1% daily move in EUR/USD is a big day. That is why forex traders usually use leverage, and why leverage magnifies losses in exactly the same proportion as gains.

The difference from crypto: market hours

Crypto never closes. Traditional markets do. Forex shuts at the weekend, and stock indices only really move during their home exchange's trading hours. When news breaks while the underlying market is closed, the price can gap to a new level at the reopen.

If you hold a forex or index position over a weekend, reduce leverage or close part of it before the market shuts.

What moves these markets?

Traditional markets and crypto are linked; a Fed decision moves both the dollar and Bitcoin.

FAQ

Do I need a broker account to trade forex on Saraf?

No. Every one of these markets is a perpetual contract traded and settled in USDT inside your Saraf account.

Are these markets open at the weekend?

The underlying forex and index prices do not really move while their markets are closed, and they may gap at the reopen. Lower your leverage if you hold a position through a closure.

What is the minimum trade?

The minimum for each market is shown on the ticket; for most of these a position of a few USDT is enough.

Does trading oil mean taking delivery of oil?

No. A perpetual contract is on the price only; nothing physical is ever delivered.

Trading perpetual contracts with leverage is high risk and can lose your entire margin. This article is educational and is not investment advice. Market listings were checked at the time of writing (September 2026).
