Select market and direction

Moon’s guide lists cryptocurrencies, equities, futures, commodities and forex. Availability depends on the asset and conditions. Choose Up for a view that the price will rise; Down for the opposite. Neither direction guarantees profit.

Inspect your inputs

Stake and leverage are separate inputs. Review both, alongside fees and the max-loss information. Moon states that a bet’s loss is limited to its wager amount. Your entire stake remains at risk.

Know the closing controls

Optional Auto Profit $ Close and Auto Loss $ Close settings close bets at specified profit or loss percentages. Learn them in Play Money first. Open positions appear in the open-bets panel. Prices can move rapidly; understand how to manage and close a wager before committing real funds.

Based on Moon’s published documentation. Features, fees and eligibility may change. Check the official source: Moon Help Center: Placing your first bet

Moonbase is independent and is not operated by Moon. Wagering involves risk and you can lose your entire stake.
