Spot trading: a beginner's guide

Spot trading means buying and selling tokens at the current market price, with settlement in the tokens themselves.

Core concepts

• Order book — lists current buy (bid) and sell (ask) orders.
• Limit order — executes only at your price or better.
• Market order — executes immediately at the best available price.

Placing your first order

1. Open a spot pair such as BTC/USDT.
2. Choose Buy or Sell.
3. Pick order type (limit or market), enter price and amount.
4. Confirm and check the order under "Open Orders".

Fees

Spot fees are charged in the received token. Maker orders (adding liquidity) are cheaper than taker orders. See the fee schedule for the full table.
