Question 1

What is BABA on Polymarket?

Accepted Answer

BABA is a perpetual futures contract on Polymarket that tracks the price of Alibaba (BABA). It lets you go long or short on BABA using pUSD as collateral, with no expiry date, so you can hold your position as long as you want. Right now, BABA is trading at $92.78, down 4.57% in the last 24 hours.

Question 2

What leverage is available for BABA perpetuals?

Accepted Answer

You can trade BABA with up to 10x leverage on Polymarket. The default margin mode is Isolated. For example, with 10x leverage and a $1,000 position, you're controlling $10,000.00 worth of BABA. Higher leverage amplifies both gains and losses, and at current settings, a 10x long position would have a liquidation price around $87.97.

Question 3

How is the BABA price determined?

Accepted Answer

BABA uses two prices. The oracle price (92.78) reflects Alibaba's real-time stock price from external data feeds. The mark price (92.86) is Polymarket's calculated fair value used for P&L and liquidations. Right now, the spread between mark and oracle is just $0.08 (0.09%), which means the contract is tracking BABA's spot price very closely. A funding rate of 0.0006% is applied every funding cycle to keep these prices aligned.

Question 4

Can I short Alibaba on Polymarket?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On the BABA trading page, select Short at the top of the order panel, set your amount and leverage (up to 10x), and hit Trade. You'll profit when BABA's price drops.

Question 7

What do "Mark price" and "Oracle price" mean for BABA?

Accepted Answer

The mark price (92.86) is Polymarket's calculated price used to determine your unrealized P&L and liquidation thresholds, and it's what matters for your position. The oracle price (92.78) is the external reference price pulled from real-time Alibaba stock data. When these two are close (currently within 0.09%), it means the market is efficiently priced with minimal premium or discount.

Question 8

What other perpetual futures can I trade on Polymarket?

Accepted Answer

Beyond BABA, Polymarket offers perpetuals on other popular Stocks assets including SPCX, MU, and SKHY. Each contract works the same way: pUSD-settled, no expiry, with leverage up to 10x.

Question 9

What margin types are available for Polymarket perpetuals?

Accepted Answer

Polymarket perpetuals supports both Cross Margin and Isolated Margin. Cross Margin shares collateral across all open positions, which can help prevent liquidation, but may put more of your balance at risk. Isolated Margin assigns collateral to each position individually, so only the funds allocated to that position are at risk of liquidation.
