Trading rules

In spot mode, only spot trading is available to users, while margin and X-Perps are not supported. When users sell assets of a certain currency, or completing a buying order with this currency, the available balance of this currency should be greater than or equal to the amount of the same currency required by the order.

1. Spot trading

As shown in the figure below, “Available” in “Buy BTC” shows you the current EUR balance available to buy BTC, while "Max buy" shows you the amount of BTC that can be bought based on the last price of BTC/EUR.

“Available” in “Sell BTC” shows you the current BTC balance you can sell, while "Max sell" shows you the amount of EUR obtained after selling BTC based on the last price of BTC/EUR.

Enter an appropriate BTC purchase price and amount, and click “Buy BTC” to place the order. (Likewise for selling)

Your buy/sell orders can be viewed on the Open Orders and Order History lists. Open Orders are the orders that have not been filled or partially filled, and Order History shows the ones that have been completely filled or canceled.
