Spot trading is the process of instantly exchanging one cryptocurrency for another—also known as crypto-to-crypto trading.
Orders are matched based on price priority and time priority. For instance, the BTC/USDT pair means you are buying or selling BTC using USDT.

Basic Order Types

Limit Order:

  • The user sets a specific price for buying or selling.
  • The order executes only when the market reaches that price.
  • If the limit price is more favorable than the current market price, it may execute immediately at the best available rate.

Market Order:

  • Executes instantly. The user enters the amount only, and the system matches it with the best available price.

Advanced Order Options

Iceberg Order:

  • Only a portion of the actual order is visible in the order book; the rest is hidden.
  • The hidden part is charged a flat fee of 0.2%. The visible part is charged the standard fee rate.
  • If the order is filled in both visible and hidden portions, the full amount is charged at 0.2%.

IOC (Immediate or Cancel):

  • The order is partially or fully filled immediately. Any unfilled portion is automatically canceled.
