What is Silver?
Silver is a precious metal used in solar panels, electronics, jewelry and as an investment. This market follows the spot price of one troy ounce of silver in US dollars (XAG/USD). Its price tends to respond to industrial demand, interest rates, the strength of the dollar and moves in gold.
The xyz:SILVER perpetual tracks the price of Silver, settles in USDC and never expires. It is listed on XYZ, a builder exchange: a market run by an outside team on Hyperliquid's order book. You can go long or short with up to 25× leverage, around the clock.

Size a SILVER trade from its stop
Hypurr Desk asks where your stop goes and how much of your account you are willing to lose there, then works out the size. An example at 49.408, from when this page was built:
- Account
- $1,000.00
- Risk
- 1% = $10.00
- Stop
- 2% below entry, at 48.420
- Size
- 9.80 SILVER ($484.18)
- Loss at the stop, fees included
- $10.00
- Leverage
- 20× cross, $24.21 margin
The stop sets the loss, not the leverage: leverage only decides how much margin the position ties up. Move the stop and the size follows, so a wider stop means a smaller position and the same loss. The stop is placed on the exchange with the entry. How risk sizing works.

Can I trade Silver when its home market is closed?
Yes. The perpetual trades around the clock, every day, including weekends and holidays. Prices can jump when the main market reopens, so a stop may fill away from its price.

No. A perpetual tracks the price of Silver and settles gains and losses in USDC. You never hold the underlying asset, and positions can be closed out if losses use up their margin.
