Pricing (Oracles)

Price source is important to Jungle Exchange as well as traders. Currently, there are 2 kinds of prices in different positions.

1. Mark Price, the core price for perpetual trading which decides uPnL (unrealized profit and loss) and whether the position should be liquidated.

2. K-line Chart Price, just for display to show the price trend over time. For those technical traders, they may make trading decisions based on various technical indicators such as MACD. We provide indicators function via trading view which is widely used by traders.

At the early stage, we only use Pyth oracle as price source.
