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.​
