The short answer
UZO Perpetuals is an account type built on perpetual futures, the contract that dominates crypto trading. You trade 120+ markets across crypto, shares, indices, commodities and forex, and every one of them is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Prices and depth come live from Hyperliquid. As with every UZO account, the account itself is simulated: real live prices, simulated execution, real rewards.
What a perpetual is
A perpetual future (a perp) is a futures contract with no expiry date. You go long or short with leverage, you never own the underlying asset, and you close whenever you wish. Day to day, that feels very close to a CFD.
A dated future settles on a fixed day, and that date is what pulls its price towards the real asset. A perp has no date, so it uses a different anchor: a small funding payment flows between longs and shorts every hour, nudging the contract back towards the underlying. That is the one genuinely new mechanic here, and it is covered in full in Funding rates, explained.
Real prices, simulated execution, real rewards
Your perpetuals account is simulated, exactly like a Markets account. You trade a simulated balance against real, live market data from Hyperliquid. No order is sent to the exchange under your name, and none of your own money is posted as margin.
That removes your personal capital from the risk, not the difficulty. The prices, the depth and the funding all reflect genuine market behaviour, so a trader who performs well here is doing the same work as one who performs well anywhere else.
Where you trade
Perpetuals accounts trade on the Trust terminal at trust.uzo.com, in your browser. It is the only terminal for perpetuals: MetaTrader 5 and TradeLocker carry Markets (CFD) accounts.
The three accounts
Account | Structure | Account sizes |
One phase, a 6% target, then funded | $5K to $400K | |
Two phases, 6% then 4%, then funded | $10K to $400K | |
Funded from day one, no target | $5K to $400K |
All three pay a 90% reward share. Every limit is set out in Perpetuals accounts: the complete rules. The price for each size is shown in the account picker on uzo.com before you buy.
Three things that are new if you come from CFDs
Funding takes the place of swap. Instead of an overnight swap, longs and shorts exchange a small payment every hour. It can run either way, so at times you receive it.
The market never closes. No sessions, no weekend gap, no Sunday open. Gold, oil and share perps keep trading whilst their home exchanges are shut.
Leverage is set per market. From 2x to 25x depending on the market, with 10x on BTC, ETH and SOL. You are never required to use the maximum.
What does not change
The drawdown rules, the reward share, the Best Day Rule, identity verification and the reward process are the rules you already know, applied to a new market. Your daily drawdown still resets at 00:00 UTC. What changes is the market underneath, not the rulebook on top.
The usual UZO rules apply
Perpetuals accounts sit under the same trading rules as every UZO account, including the framework on prohibited strategies. Read What trading strategies are prohibited at UZO? before your first trade.
