Hertzflow has already been introduced in many places, but many people still don’t know how to use it. Today I’m posting a speed-run tutorial.

If it’s your first time trying
@hertzflow_xyz
, after reading this article, follow this process and you’ll be able to run your first trade in just 5 minutes.

Hertzflow is a self-custody leveraged trading protocol on BNB Chain. Its core is to let users open long positions, short positions, and provide liquidity on-chain. It also allows users to create trading markets around assets supported by its Oracle.

How do I get started quickly?
1. Open the official website
Go to http://hertzflow.xyz, and click Connect in the top-right corner to connect your wallet.
2. Prepare
$USDT

When transferring
$USDT
from Binance to your wallet, you must select BNB Smart Chain (BEP20).
3. Prepare Gas
Make sure you leave a little
$BNB
in your wallet.
We recommend preparing at least 0.01
$BNB
. A single trade typically consumes about 0.001–0.003
$BNB
.
4. Enter Trade
Choose the coin you want to trade, enter the amount, and adjust the leverage.
5. Set Stop Loss
Beginners must add a stop loss. The documentation suggests you can start with -50% by default to avoid losing control of your position.
6. Open the position
After confirming the direction, click Open Long or Open Short. Once your wallet signs, the position will be opened.

If you don’t have a wallet yet, you can download MetaMask or the Binance Wallet from their official websites and add the BNB Chain network.

The two easiest pitfalls to run into:
First, choosing the wrong network
$USDT
must go through BNB Smart Chain / BEP20—don’t choose ERC20, Tron, or Solana.
Second, having no
$BNB
for gas
If you only have
$USDT
, you can’t trade. Your wallet must have a bit of
$BNB
to pay the trading fees.

If you only want to quickly experience trading, the process above is enough.
If you want to go deeper, I’ll post an advanced tutorial later.

One-sentence summary:
Hertzflow’s beginner path is straightforward:
Connect wallet → prepare
$USDT
and
$BNB
→ enter Trade → select direction → add stop loss → sign to open the position.

The most important thing about on-chain leveraged trading isn’t going fast—it’s not choosing the wrong chain first, not forgetting gas, and not trading without setting a stop loss. #BNBChain #Hertzflow

Even if you set a stop-loss, it can fail to fill at the expected price—this is especially common when trading traditional assets.

HertzFlow’s newly released beginner guide explains this detail clearly. When trading assets like stocks, indices, and commodities, the stop-loss trigger price does not necessarily equal the final actual fill price.

During traditional asset market closures, users can’t open positions, close positions, or modify their holdings. Stop-loss and take-profit monitoring is also paused. When trading resumes, if the price jumps directly past the stop-loss level, the order will execute at the market price at open, and it won’t revert back to the original trigger price.

The Hyper Leverage documentation says that after a stop-loss is triggered, execution happens at the set price. Taken together with the current explanations, during normal trading it should follow the trigger rules; if there is a gap during the market closure, it should be handled using the reopening price. Between the two documents’ precedence and real fill examples from the testnet, the official stance is still not very explicit.

This can have a significant impact on real trading. Crypto assets trade nearly continuously, while stocks and commodities have fixed trading hours. Price movements accumulated during market closure get released all at once when the market reopens. The higher the leverage, the more pronounced the gap between the trigger price and the fill price becomes.

Especially now, when market volatility is frequent and more people are interested in trading stock indices, before using HertzFlow to trade these assets, it’s best to confirm when the market closes and plan your exit strategy in advance for any gap at reopening.

Stop-loss tells you when you should leave, but in non-continuous markets it may not help lock in your final fill price. If the platform could clearly label this rule directly on the order page, it would make it much easier for users to understand the risk differences across various asset types.

When you trade traditional assets, have you ever encountered a stop-loss situation like this involving a gap?
