Torex Functionality Guide: Market OrderHow to start cryptocurrency trading? Market order might be an answer. It allows you to buy or sell crypto assets instantly - once the order is placed on the exchange, the deal will be executed with the best price available on the market. As far as market orders are executed the same moment they were placed on the order book, the exchange charges fees. Market orders are used in situations when speed is more important than price, thus newby traders should use this function carefully due to fees and immediate execution of the deal. Choosing the wrong moment to sell or buy your assets might quickly lead to great loss, so that’s why a trader can start with limit orders, which will be explained in the next post.
The reason justifying an exchange to charge fees is called slippage. Market participants place limit orders - the amount of coins they want to buy or sell for the certain price - and form an order book. Market order allows you to execute the deal for the cheapest price instantly, but if the amount of the cheapest order is not enough to fulfill the volume of your market order, then the system automatically “slips” to the next cheapest order. In that case you act as a market taker and that is what you pay fees for.
Torex.One allows you to place orders within exchanges you have a funded wallet on and which API keys were added to Torex trading system. Here is a quick guide on how it’s done:
1. Choose an exchange with needed assets in “Exchange” list.
2. In the “Base coin” drop-down list you choose a coin, which is quoted to the another coin you’re interested in.
3. Then choose a desired coin pair in “Coin” list.
4. Set a deal type with the switcher.
5. Choose the second coin (not the Base coin) deal volume.
If the Price field isn’t active and the Set by price switcher is turned off, it means this is a deal with market prices.
Press “Create order” to send an order. The details of the executed market order can be viewed in the sections “Torex Trade” and “Statistics”.
