Contango releases comprehensive PT trading guide covering leveraged Principal Token strategies on Pendle.
Key trading considerations:
- Research underlying assets thoroughly before trading
- Choose quote assets carefully to minimize market impact
- Longer maturities generally safer than short-term trades
- Exit early if unable to handle volatile markets at maturity
Critical risks highlighted:
- MEV attacks without protection can cause significant losses
- Oracle type affects liquidation risk - avoid market rate feeds
- YT speculation can drive PT prices down, affecting returns
Technical mechanics explained:
- PT loops combine fixed yield lending with variable rate borrowing
- Profit = PT yield minus borrowing costs, minus fees and slippage
- Positions must be manually closed after expiry to avoid ongoing costs
Guide emphasizes education over speculation, warning that uneducated PT trading often results in losses. Contango automates complex looping strategies but traders must understand all variables affecting their positions.
