What Polkadot is

Polkadot is a proof-of-stake network of interoperable parachains sharing one security layer, with an inflationary issuance model that adjusts according to how much of the supply is staked.

How DOT trades

DOT is liquid on major venues with moderate volatility for an altcoin, and its supply dynamics — staking participation and unlock schedules — matter more to its flow than short-term chart structure.

What to practise on DOT

Use DOT to practise holding through a scheduled supply event and measuring the cost of carry on a simulated position.

How your DOT order is filled

DexLadder does not fill at the mid price. An order is charged the spread, the venue fee and the price impact your own size causes — on pool trades that impact is computed from the constant-product and concentrated-liquidity maths rather than approximated by a flat percentage. That is the difference between a paper result you can trust and one that quietly flatters you. The full model is written up in the methodology.

Before you size a DOT position

Work out the position from your stop distance rather than your balance — the position size calculator does it in one step — and if you are using leverage, check the liquidation distance against the ordinary daily range of DOT before choosing a multiplier.

Questions people actually ask

Can I practise DOT trading without an account?

Yes. DexLadder needs no signup, no email and no wallet connection — the paper balance and trade history stay in your own browser.

Is the DOT price data live?

Yes. Prices come from live market feeds; only the money is simulated.

Are fees and price impact applied to DOT trades?

Yes — venue fees, the spread and the price impact your order size causes. An environment that skips those overstates every strategy you test.
