Here’s a clear explanation of what you might be referring to with “STE PERPETUAL CONTRACT 17” on TradingView:

📊 What Perpetual Contracts Are

A perpetual contract (also called perpetual futures or perpetual swap) is a type of derivatives contract that lets you speculate on an asset’s price without an expiry date — unlike traditional futures that end on a set date. They are widely used in cryptocurrency trading and are marked to market regularly with funding payments between longs/shorts to keep the perpetual price close to the underlying price.

🪩 What the “.P” Means

On TradingView, symbols ending in .P usually represent perpetual futures contracts (often on crypto exchanges like Binance, Bybit, OKX, etc.). For example:

BTCUSDT.P → Bitcoin / USDT perpetual contract

ETHUSDT.P → Ethereum / USDT perpetual contract

So the .P part means it’s not the spot price — it’s the perpetual derivatives contract price.

📌 What “STE PERPETUAL CONTRACT 17” Might Be

TradingView itself does not officially label contracts with simple numbers like “17” as part of a contract name — at least not in general market symbol definitions. If you saw something like STE Perpetual Contract 17, it could be one of the following:

A list/page number:

If you were browsing community ideas or insights on TradingView (e.g., the BTCUSD Perpetual Contract ideas page), the “17” might simply refer to Page 17 of results or comments, not part of the symbol. That’s common on TradingView’s Ideas pages where you scroll through numbered lists.

A custom label or alert name:

Some users rename scripts or alerts with a suffix like “17” — that isn’t part of the official market symbol.

If “STE” was short for a token symbol:

If the underlying asset is something like STE (for example, a token ticker), the perpetual contract symbol on TradingView for that asset’s perpetual futures could be like STEUSDT.P. However, I didn’t find an official STEUSDT.P perpetual contract in the major listings right now — most perpetual symbols are in the format [Ticker]USDT.P for crypto.

✅ How to Check the Exact Symbol

If you want to see real price/chart data for a perpetual future on TradingView:

Go to the TradingView search box.

Enter the symbol like STEUSDT.P (if it exists), or the correct ticker pair.

Check the data — perpetual contracts usually show funding rates, price, and technicals.

TIP: Perpetual contracts differ from spot charts — they’re heavily influenced by leverage, funding rates, and derivatives market behavior.

If you can tell me where you saw “STE PERPETUAL CONTRACT 17” (e.g., a screenshot or exact page on TradingView), I can interpret it more precisely!
