The dYdX Trump perp prediction market gives users a chance to trade based on the expected outcome of the election on November 5, offering up a new method of trader interaction with political happenings.

The new market allows users to take a long or short position based on whether they think Trump will win. Those traders who feel that Trump is going to win in this upcoming election can take a long position, whereas the traders expecting him to lose can take a short position.

This makes it certain that, though speculation is open, it should be adequately managed by the traders.
