About Transactions

Orders

Use the Order Book on the right-hand side of the screen to review all orders real-time. The part in red shows the asks (Sell orders), while the part in green shows the bids (Buy orders). In between the asks and bids, you can see the current market price.

Scroll to the bottom of the screen to see Open Orders and Order History.

Trades

Trades refers to the most recent, real-time buying and selling activities for the selected pair. Like the Order List, prices in red indicate Sell orders; and the prices in green indicate Buy orders.

How to place an order?

You can choose between placing a Limit Order and a Market Order. The differences are as follows:

Limit Order

A Limit Order is an instruction to place an order to buy or sell at a specific price. If the market price does not hit the price set, the order will not be executed.

Market Order

A Market Order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset at the current market price. Once the order is submitted, the transaction will be executed immediately according to the latest market price.

What’s the difference between Amount and Total Orders?

Members can choose to place an order by a specific amount of an asset, or by the total value of the transaction. In the example shown, the unit is BTC to place an order by the amount, indicating how many BTC to buy or sell. If the order is placed in the form of a total amount, the unit is USDT, which means buying or selling BTC worth a certain total value of USDT. To quickly place an order, use the percentage tool to trade a percentage of the asset you hold in your wallet.

How to view open orders?

After placing an order, you can view your unfilled orders under the Open Orders section. You cancel any order you see here.

How to view completed orders?

For orders that have been filled, you can tap the Order History button at the bottom of the page.
